CONTRACT LET FOR
BRICK SC00L HOUSE
Will Cost l5.OOO.-Have Eight
Rooms and A Fine Structure
Keep Old Building.

The contract for erecting the
eight-room school building in the
Third ward has been awarded by the
board to John Nalaskowski for $ll,-
56S. The other bidders were Hub
bard, Day & Fitzgerald for $12. 260.
Utley & Harper for $12, 74O, and H.
Snow of Salem for sl3, 1888. Mr..
Nalaskowski will begin work next
week on the foundation and tho build
ing is to be completed ready for school
use by the first of September. The
plumbing and heating will be let ON
separate contracts. and the total cost
of the building ready for oocupany
will fully reach the si5. raised by
the recent board issue for it is to be
complete in every detail. The cost
of furnishing the building will be
very materially reduced as the desks
and blackboards and other appliances
from the three rooms in the old South
building and the two rented rooms
can be used and the bell from the
South building will be transferred to
the new building. The board has
decided not to sell the old South
building as the growth Of Grants Pass
is such that the new brick school will
be full by another year and the over.
flow rooms will have to be provided.
The old South building would serve
until its three rooms would no longer
hold the increase when a new brick
could be erected for the Fourth ward.
AS to who will be principal Of the
new school has not been determined
by the board. Two more teachers
have been hired, one being Mrs.
Mollie Belding, who will again have
q position In the primary grade and
the other is Miss Roberta Hattenhauer
of Council Bluffs. Iowa.

present to give the fruitmen such in
formation as they may desire on
freight rates.
Every farmer who will have ev en-
100 boxes of fruit to sell should make
it point to attend this meeting and
not stay away through the excuse that
he can not afford the time. The
difference in price of securing 10 to 75
cents box by peddling in Grants
Pass or of 81 to 50 per box by selling
through union will make it AN OBJ
ject to even the small fruit raisers to
attend. If each farmer stays away
thinking that there will he enough
present to organize the union and
that he can join later on there will be
no union and the fruit industry will
continue at its present low ebb.
1t has come that the small fruit
grower no longer has living chance
and he is forced to either dig up his
trees and quit the business. or join
union and have his fruit sold in car
lots direct to the big markets of the
world. All the successful fruit dis
tricts of the United States now have
unions and they lave put fruit raising
on profitable, business basis. In
stead of the old method of shaking the
fruit off the trees, putting the best
ard least bruised on the top of the
box or barrel and selling for any price
offered, the union forces the growers
to pick their fruit as though handling
fragile glass, grade as carefully as
though they feared day in hades for
every wormy apple found n the box,
and pack as carefully as though pre-
pairing shipment Of ohinaware. The
union has convinced the housewives
of the land that when they buy box
of fruit bearing a union label that
every apple in the box will be found
perfect in quality, true to name and
full weight The result of this honest
dealing is that the public will give
the same preference and pay the
higher price for fruit in boxes bearing
union labels as is done in the prefer
ence and higher price that is paid for
butter that has a creamery label wrap
per. The fruit growers unions are
making it possible for the skillful
orohsrdists to get top prices for their
fruit, and at the same time they are
making it more difficult for the
slovenIy grower to sell his fruit even
at ruinous price.

JOSEPHINE COUNTY
FRUIT GROWERS UNION
To Be Organized in Grants Pass
on June 23-Promises to
Be a Success.

The Josephine County Fruitgrowers
Union is to be organized on Saturday,
June %, when a meeting for that pur-
pose will be held by the fruitmen at
the Courier Office, in Grants Pass at
p. m.
A thorough canvass of the orchard
lists of the county has been made and
all have signified willingness to join
the proposed union. The cost of mem
bership will be nominal probably not
over 50. 80 and the annual dues will be
not over 81. The marketing of fruit
and other expenses of the union will
be bourne by per cent on the sales
made, thus each member will pay in
proportion to the amount of fruit the
union handles for him. In the pur-
chase of supplies such as bcxes, spray
ing material the members would be
supplied at COST
The union will be incorporated and
the officers will consist of president,
vice-president, secretary, treasurer
and nine directors. A manager will
be employed on a salary to handle
fruit shipments. The president may
act as manager or another person may
be employed for the position. AS to
who would make competent presi-
dent and manager for the proposed
union has been under consideration by
the promoters of the organization.
Fruit growing is yet in its beginning
in Josephine county and but few of
the orchardists have had experience in
in shipping and marketing fruit in
large quantities. The largest shippers
have been Eisman Bros, who with
their father have two large orchards
FIVE miles west of Grants Pass. They
expect to raise $4,000 boxes of apples
this season and already a New York
dealer has offered to contract their
crop at 80 per box. They declined
the offer as they anticipate better
price. The Eismans are up.to-date
orchardists and their name is known
to all the big buyers of the East and
their fruit goes into the markets as
strictly first-class and brings the top
price. Having thorough knowledge
of growing, grading, packing and
marketing fruit makes il certain that
they will be helpful members of the
union, of which they have agreed to
join. A large number of small
growers having confidence in Mr.. Fred
Eisman's ability and knowledge of
the fruit business have expressed
themselves as favorable to electing
him to be president and manager of
the union. Mr.. Eisman is man of
strict integrity and has a high stand
ing as a practical business man and
as he would be one of the largest ship.
pers through the union it would be
to his interst that the union obtain
the highest price to be had.
The Southern Pacific is offering
every inducement to stimulate the
fruit industry in Rogue River Valley
ahi the Company has given special
terminal freight rate or fruit in car
loads billed to Eastern or European
markets. the shippers from Grants
Pass and other Rogue River points

ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
ONE GREAT ORCHARD
That Is tine Prediction of Hon.
j. ID. Olwell-The World
for A Market.

Hon John d. dwell Of Medford
was one of the Rogue River Valley
boosters in attendance at the session
of the Rogue River Valley Develop
ment League in this city last Satur-
day. Mr.. Owlell is a member of the
board of regents of the State Agri-
cultural College and one of the big
gest orchardists in Southern Oregon.
In an interview with a Courier repre-
sentative Mr.. dwell stated that
Rogue River Valley was certain to
become the greatest fruit growing dis
trict on the Pacific Coast. The
acreage to fruit is increasing at a
most rapid rate especially in jackson
county. Orchards of more than 100
acres are becoming common in that
county. One firm the Western Ore
gon Orchard Company, las 1400 acres
east of Medford that they are putting
to orchard and already have large
part of it to trees. 1t is reported that
this company placed an order some.
time since with nursery company
for 30. 900 trees for planting this Win.
ter. With all this increase to the
acreage to orchards yet fruit tree
planting has only begun in Rogue
River Valley is the opinion of Mr..
Olwell.
Where there will be market for
all this fruit that will be grown and
shipped from Rogue River Valley by
the train load is question frequently
asked by persons not posted on this
industry. On this feature of the
business Mr.. dwell has no misgivings
he holding that the more fruit that
this Valley can ship the better posi-
tiion that 1t can command in the mar
kets of the world and sell at prices
higher than is now obtained. Instead
of Oregon being ut the far side of the
worlds market. as some think, this
state is really in the center and is
more favorably Esituated than the
Eastern state for reaching large and
profitable markets. Oregon shippers
now compete. successfully in selling
their fruit in New York, Boston and
other eastern cities and also in Lon.
don, Paris and the other great cites of
Europe. But the time is near at hand
when the best market for Oregon
fruit will be in Alaska, Alberta and
other British provinces, Siberia,
japan and China. These markets
will be almost unlimited and If all
Rogue River Valley was one great
orchard the product would not be
felt in this great market. The
American people are the greatest fruit
eaters in the world aud cold storage
and canneries have made it possible
to have fruit cheap and in abundance
for every month in the year. Port
land will have million people be.
fore it will be possible to ship fruit
from Rogue River Valley by the train
load and there will be score of other
big cities in the Pacific Coast to make
a profitable home market for frnit.
That fruit growing can be overdone in
Rogue River Valley is not possible in
the opinion of Mr.. Olwell and in this
he is sustained by all the other big
fruit growers of the Valley. On the
contrary the more fruit raised here
the more advantageous will be the
market conditions and the better will
be the prices realized.
