The Last of the Gilmore Stock.

Mr.. VIM. Krull, the Auditor for the
Eilers Piano House is in Grants Pass
for few days and i'll close out the
Gilmore Stock Of fine Pianos and Or
gans
Mr.. Krull will be assisted by
Mr.. f. J. Andross, the wholesale rep
resentative and by Mr.. Aug d. Sing
Ter, who has made arrangements with
the popular Piano Firm to represent
them in this Southern Oregon terrific
ry. Mr.. Siugler will work on salary
proposition and the public will now be
able to buy their Pianos and Organs at
Portland prices and will not have to
pay three prices and two commissions
as they have heretofore been forced to.
The pianos that are in the Gilmore
stock are far better line than have
ever been exhibited and the prices are
lower by a good deal. Pianos that
have sold here for $500 are being Of.
fered by theAuditor for Sl66 and an
other Piano that the Grants Pass buy
ers have b4en asked 800 for, can now
bo bought for S2O8. 1t can readily be
Ell that the conservative buyer can
save almost half of what his neighbor
has paid
Mr. Krull is ready to arrange for
easy terms.
Pianos rented if not ready to buy,
and that rent can be credited on
the piano if you want to buy later.
Store in the Conklin Building will be
open in the evening. 6-2l 1t

GIVE UP MINING
FOR FRUIT RAISING
G. A. Hamilton Will Increase
Orchard to 100 Acres
OF Apples.

Mrs. George A. Hamilton and three
children arrived last week from Ore
gon City to take up their residence on
the fine fruit farm that Mr.. Hamil-
ton bought last Winter of J. W..
Hamlin. Mrs. Hamilton is delighted
with Rogue River Valley and es-
pecially with her new home and the
farm which is located on the bank OF
Rogue river and from where line
view of Grants Pass can be had as
soon as the intervening timber is out.
Mrs. Hamilton, though from town,
her husband until lately being a mer-
chant, is developing into an enthu-
siastic frUit grower and she and her
two SONS, aged 13 and Is years, had nc
sooner got their household goods un-
packed and in place than they began
the work of thinning fruit in their
orchard. There are five acres oi
large arple, pear and peach trees on
the place and they are 80 loaded
with fruit that it must be tbinned
in order to give the size and color
that is required to bring fancy
price in the maIke. Mr.. Hamilton,
while here last Winter planted II
acres to Spitzenberg and Newtown
apples. OF this tract he put in peaches
in half of 1t alternating the rows
with the apple trees All the trees
have made fine growth and J. W.
Hsmlin and j. W. Heston, who have
had charge of the orchard during Mr..
Hamliton's absence, state that not
an apple tree is dead and but very few
of the peach trees. The trees in this
new orchard are In hexagonal rows
and as the ground is level and the
rows as straight as file OF Japanese
soldiers the orchard is a model in ap'
pearance and bids fair to be one OF
the finest in Rogue River. Mr..
Hamilton will make another large
planting this Winter aud will con-
tinue until he gets 100 aores to Or
cbard. He is now in Alaska looking
after the cleanup Of a big placer
mine that he owns ON the Klondke.
He will have that work done early in
July and having sold his mine he will
return to Grants Pass by the first Of
August and then devote his entire at
tention to his fruit farm.

At the present time we have five

is the cross talk from one line to the
other which is so plain we can under.

Others who wish to use the line on

many eavesdroppers We would also
advise those OF older age who have
babies In their homes that our service
would be much better If they would
keep their babies and little ones from

POLICY OF THE
FOREST SERVICE
Continued from page

spite the effort fund of $500, 0OO was
provided by Congress for the perma.
nent improvement of the National
Forests This sum viii be used for
the construction of roads, trails, tele-
phone lines or any other improvement
that Will assist in opening up the ter
ritory and putting the land to the best
use. The Forest Service is anxious to
cooperate with settlers and munici pal
or commercial bodies that these i'm
provements can be made where they
will be of ssmost value to respective
communities in this line we are now
co operating with your body TO put
wagon road down Rogue River to
connect this valley with the Coast, and
if a practicable route can be found
this road will be constructed to open
up a rich miuing and stock country.
There are experts of the Forest SER
vice employed in carrying on expert
ments in so many different lines that
are of benefit to the whole people, that
space will not allow me even TO name
them, chief among these of interest
here is the plant at Eugene for testing
the strength of timber. This is of great
value to those engaged in structural
work. There is also department n
gagged in experimenting on the preser-
yation of wood whers it comes in con-
tact with the soil; this is not of as
much value here as in portions OF the
state where timber is scarce, or where
the varieties that resist decay have
been exhausted; but the time will
come when it will be of interest. This
branch will, if called upon, furnish an
expert in wood preservation to decide
definitely on the best method to treat
particular timber for any particular
purpose, fence posts, telephone poles,
mine bers, railroad ties, etc., and
will educate by practical demonstra-
tions the use of the preservatives.
The Forest Service is anxious to in.
troduce this preservative treatment,
and to cooperate with mine owners
or other timber-using corporations
or individuals and in certain situa-
tions where the users are clearly un-
able to bear the expense, and the work
promises to be of value to the entire
community, the Forest Service will be
wiling to bear the larger part Of the
expense.
These are only few Of the many
things of benefit which we claim for
the Forest Service. There are no
charges for irrigation projects within
the National Forests or for any other
non commercial enterprise of beuefit
to the community or the individual.
Ten per cent Of the receipts of the
National Forests go to the County
from which the money is collected /;
this is not large item at present, but
as timber sales are made 1t will soon
be source Of revenue Of no small i'm
portanoe iu Southern Oregon. where
from the varied and valuable resources
of the forests the proceeds will far ex-
ceed the cost Of management.
There Is no claim that the present
forest system is perfect; it is being
improved upon all the time. and ex-

JACKSONVILLE NOW
HAS A WEEKLY PAPER
No Paper Published In County
Scat for the Past
Three Years.

Jacksonville, the Oldest town and
once the metropolis of Southern Ore
gon that grew up and went down
with one;of the best mining camps OF
the Pacific Coast has had the dis
tinction for three years Of being the
only county seat in the United
States except some three or four
county seats IN the South, OF being
without newspaper. The fiction
of Jacksonvi' lie paper has been Kept
up by Chas. Nickel of Medford, pub
Usher of the Southern Oreonisn aud
the Democratic Times. Both papers
are published in Medford and when
the Southern Oregonian is off the
press the Medford date line in the
forms is changed to that OF Jackson :
vile, the type of the semi-repubhcan
editorials is lifted out aud staunch
democratic matter inserted and the
Southern Oregonian title changed to
Democratic Times and the work OF
getting out paper for Jacksonville
was completed. Jacksonville has been
waking up of late and is now one OF
the most prosperous, as it has always
been the most wealthy town of Rogue
River Valley, and the progressive
element took up the proposition OF
securing newspaper for their town.
Success attained their efforts and last
week the first number of the Jackson.
vile Post was issued by Sanders &
Overholt, two bright newspaper men
from California. The Post is a well
printed, newsy paper and credit to
any town. 1t has though. only fair
advertising patronage and year
hence will prove whether jackson
vile is able to support a paper or not.
With paper at Jacksonville,
Jackson county now has 10 news.
papers. OF these Ashland has two,
the Tidings, semi-weekly, and the
Record, weekly; Medford three
weeklles. the Mail. Tribune and
Democratic Times, q semi-weekly the
Southern Oregonisn, and daily, the
