GRANTS PASS SCHOOLS
CLOSE SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Number of Graduates Double
Each Year and Sta ndard
OF Work Higher

The commencement exercises will
be held at the Opera House on this
Friday evening and the address to
the graduating class will be by Prof.
Joseph Schafer, of the State Univer-
sity. The students to whom diplomas
will be awarded are @. Frederick
Dean. wilma Olive Gilkey, May
Esther Holloway, Amy Myrtle Isaacs,
Annabella Leith, Mary Elizabeth
Leith, Carrie Nina Paddock and Ella
May Savage. 1t is an interesting
coincidence and one that is highly
complimentary to the efficient work
of City Superintendent R. R. Turner
and the other teachers of the High
School, that the graduating class for
'O7 is 100 per cent larger than that of
'06 and the class of '06 WAS Just 100
per cent larger than was the class of
'05, which was the first year that
Prof. Turner had charge of the Grants
Pass schools That there we're but
two graduates two years ssago showed
a low ebb in the work of the Grants
Pass High School, while the gain to
four last year and to eight this year
proves that a new and vigorous energy
has been infused into the school.
This is further proven by the fact
that the graduating class for next
year, barring no loss by students re-
moving from the city or by gain
from other high schools. will be just
100 per cent larger than the class for
this year. for it will number 10. With
the thorough work that is being done
and the addition of a full business
course, that includes typewriting.
shorthand and bookkeeping, TO the
scientific and classical courses, and
that the school is free to all scholars
of Josephine county, is certain to.put
the Grants Pas HiRh School in the
very front rank of The high schools OF
Oregon in the numbsr of graduates
aud the well rounded edccation that
they will be given.

S47, 600 borrowed money the Company
put in the roadbed and track as far as
Eagle Point Then all operations
were stopped through the lack of
funds and the greed of some of the
officers who wanted to gobble up the
road and freeze out the stockholders
who had put in most of the cash.
Matters dragged along until this
Spring when in order to secure the
stockholders and get the road in
operation Edgar Hafer, of Iowa Lum-
ber Company, and other stockholders
had it put in the hands of receiver.
DR.. j. f. Reddy was put in receiver
by Judge Hanna and through his
energy and thorough business methods
he got railroad men to bidding ON the
property until the price was forced
from 500, 700, the first bid OF Dewing
& Company to $S2, 500, the bid that
gave the road to Estes and associates.
The Medford people have thus got
their money back with fair interest
and railroad that will be a big
factor in the prosperity Of that town.
Had Grants Pass made as much of an
effort as Medford this town would
now have railroad to the Illinois
Valley and be in position to put
road up the Applegate to..Blue Ledge
and get the trade from that rich val
ley and big mining district.

Mss MARION WALTER
GIVES VIOLIN RECITAL
Assisted by Miss Palmer. Pianist.
and Miss La Costa Mensum
In Reading.

Another young girl upon whom
Grants Pass feels some claim of
ownership in that it was once her
home and who has gone forth into the
larger life of one of our greater cities
to win there success and degree of
fame in the keen competition OF life is
Miss Marion Walter, now of San Fran
cisco. and the lovers of good music
here are very grateful to her in that
she possessed so pleasant memory OF
her earlier years in this city that she
gave us the pleasure on Monday even
ing Of listening to an hour or more
of delightful violin playing. She
was assisted in her recital by Miss
Ethel Carolyn Palmer, talented
pianist whom we are all proud to
claim as one of us and who never
fails to give keen pleasure in her
work at the piano. and La Costa Man
gum. who as young girl, gives
promise of ability as a successful
reader.
Miss Walter plays with broad deep,
sweet tone rare in one Of her years
while her technic bespeaks earnest aud
persistent work IN her chosen pro-
fession. 1t Is easy to see that the vio-
lin is the great love of the young per-
formers life aud 1t responds under
her sympathetic and loving touch to
all the affection she showers upon 1t.
At times it had in its fibre all the
pleading emotional power of great
oontralto voice singing its way
straight into the depths of the soul,
while at other times 1t was % bright
and gay and brilliant as the trilling
Of some happy bird. The Paganini
number tested her executionvery stren-
uously, yet she made it very pleasing
part of her program. The arrange
ment OF the ssxtet from "Lucia di
Lammermoor" is marvellous trans
oription from that famous work. re-
producing as 1t does upon the violin

1t is full Of depth and glorious har.
monies. II seemed to us that Miss
Walter was playing right up to the
limit Of her execution in this number,
but at the same time 1t showed admir-
ably how excellent the technic aud
temperament are for an embryo artist.
Miss Walter has very winning and
simple stage presence and bearing and
makes her audience feel a great deal of
sympathy In her high hopes for fu-
,rrs 40 bright wi;s promise Ono feels
that she has awaiting her not only
the passion and the fine feeling neces-
sary to artistic playing, but also that
she is fired with splendid ambition
and capacity for hard, earnest work.
which will 20 far TO win the laurels
from the hand Of fortune. Miss
Palmer played with an inspiration,
and never during all her public work
among us has she gwen more fitting
expression to the splendid harmonic
dreams of the great masters. for her
playing Of each number was q perfect
riot of motion.

to make such headway and such havo,
in the orchards of tho East. Mr.. Mar
tin, who came here two years ago from
Illinois, stated that in all the states Of
the Mississippi Valley the wind blew
nine days out of 10 each Fall and
Spring and much Of the Winter. In
the Winter spraying could not be done
rs the solution would freeze before II
would reach the tree, and in the Fall
and Spring the wind would blow ii
into space and lose it. The result is
that the San jose scale, anthracnose
and other pests. that can only be
fought during the season when there
is no foliage on the trees, are rapidly
killing the orchards in the prairie
states. As the pests are spreading all
over the United States fruit will only
be grown in commercial orchards, and
these will be located In valleys pro.
teoted from the winds, in the hills
and mountains. In all his travels Mr.
Martin stated that he had never been
in q section having as little wind as
Rogue River Valley. This great ad.
vantage, together with the very favor
able soil and climate was certain to
make fruit raising very profitable here.
With no wind to contend against and
surrounded by mountains. 1t would be
no difficult matter for fruit growers to
keep their trees free Of pests and have
clean fruit that would bring fancy
prices. Charles Meserve stated that
the entomologists Of the Department Of
Agriculture had identified over 100
pests that feed on fruits and vegetables
in the United States. OF this number
there were not over a dozen In Rogue
River Valley. Chairman Robinson
remarked that while lit was not the
proper spirit to have, yet it was a. fact
shat the fruit growers Of Rogue River
Valley coud look upon the pests rs
their best friends, provided they kept
them out Of their orchards, while the
Eastern farmer, busy with his Fall
plowing and corn husking and with
Spring seeding. could not take advant.
age Of the few favorable days there
for spraying.
"Are Cherries Profitable In Rogue
River Valleyp" was answered by O.
W, Triplett. who stated that his half
acre of cherries paid him better than
any other like plat Of land in his or
chard. Cherries came into bearing
early, and when three years old fre-
quently bore gallon or more. There
is a big demand for cherries, and the
price good. He sold for five and six
cents pound last y, earbut could have
had IL cents pound in Salt Lake and
some Of the other markets, but the
high express rates precluded shipping
When there were sufficient cherries
grown here 30 that the Fruit Growers
Union could ship in car lots, then this
fruit would be one of the most profit
able for Rogue River orohardists to
grow. The land that he had found
best for oherries.was a deep clay with
the water table well down. for water
was death to cherry trees. There were
few pests to trouble cherries, the only
diseases here being Rumosis, scale and
scab. The two latter can readily be
killed by spraying. but the former is
hard to eradicate. IL cherry tree
escapes the ravages Of gumosis for the
first three or four years, then it is.good
for years Of profitable bearing.
