PIONEER GRAPE GROWER
In ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
Friends OF the Lotto Peter Brit,
Claim This Homer for That
Departed Horticulturist.

A Jacksonville correspondent of the
Oregonian claims the honor of being
the father of the grape industry in the
Rogue River Valley for the late Peter
Britt. for half century respected
resident of the county seat, whose
beautiful gardens and vineyards, now
maintained by his son Emil Britt, are
a show place for all visitors to Jack
soDville. The correspondent says
The questions as to who is the
father of the grape industry in Rogue
River Valley has been raised as the
outcome Of banquet recently given
by real estate firm at Grants Pass
In honor Of A. II. Carson, a grape
grower Of that section of the valley,
who is credited with being the origi-
nator OF the grape industry in South
ern Oregon. II is an unearned and
unfair honor to credit Mr.. Carson or
any Of the other present viueyardists
OF jackson or Josephine county with
being the father of the Rogue River
Valley grape industry. the true facts
are herewith given:
ITO I he late Peter Britt OF jackson.
vile belongs the honor Of introducing
tame grapes into Rogue River Valley
and Of having the first commercial
vineyard. This vineyard consists
OF 10 acres and 10 enc Of several in
this vicinity that have demonstrated
that Rogue River Valley can produce
a grape and wine squal to the best
OF the famous grape districts Of
Europe. Mr.. Britt was reared in the
grape district Of Switzerland. and
having travelled in France. he
thoroughly understood the growing of
grapes and the making of wine. He
arrived in Jacksonville In the fall of
1904 being one Of the pioneers Of this
old mining town. and noted the vipor
OF the wild grape vines about here.
and he determined to give tame grapes
trial. He got his first veins from
California in 1854 or 1855 These

of the reteredum being invoked on the
Sl25, 900 year Appropriation for State
University at Eugene was discussed.
All the speakers seemed to think that
the governor was very much opposed
to this appropriat on. Now there is

order to strengthen his position be.

them as candidate for United States
Senator. 1t has been though that il
the Governor had not wished this
bill to be passed over his veto it
could not have been done. That i'm
mediateE after the governor vetoed
this bill his friends were the most
active ones engaged in mastering
votes to carry it over his veto.
Can it be possible that our governor
could have played DR.. Jekyl and Mr..
Hyde on this proposition and given
the lie to Linoolns remark that you
could not fool all the people all the
time. We should like Governor
Chamberlain to tell the people
whether directly or indirectly he as.

NEW WATER COMPANY
ASK FOR FRANCHISE
City Council Requested to Grant
Permission to Start New
Plant for this Purpose.

Last evening the city council held
itseregular semi-monthly meeting and
among other matters of Importance
was the petition of the Thompson
Water, Land & Power Co.. OF Port.
land, for waterworks franchise e.
Mary Thompson, one of the members
was present and Attorney Westcott, of
Portland appeared before the body in
support of the application.
He stated that they proposed to fur
nish water from the springs back of
the Morrison place, north of the city,
where at an elevation of 800 feet
they claimed they could produce
sufficient moisture to supply this city,
and that they proposed having a
gravity system. and two or three
reservoirs. Verbally he said they
could offer the water for domestic
purposes at 1888 cents for each 1000
gallons aud for mechanical purposes
where 10. 900 gallons are taken at 90
cents per 10, 900 gallons aud so on.
1t would take six months to install
the plant and about so days to demon
strate, by excavation that they could
fill the agreement of providing suffi.
cient water for the city's use. He
said that they were ready to submit
written proportion to the council
and the matter was referred to the old
committee, Messrs. Kinney, Stovall
and Ooburn, who are today comforting
with the applicants, rs to minute de-
tails and the whole matter will then
be brought up for action at the next
session Of the council. two weeks
hence.
1t was apparent from, the drift of
sentiment sscertained among the
as we'll as from leading
business men. that everything hinges
upon the ability of these people to
furnish enough water and il they will
go ahead and demonstrate this fact,
beyond any doubt, then the franchise
will likely be theirs for the asking.

Prominent Grants Pass citizen
Isn't it about time TO give Mr..
Carson another reception Do you
know he will not, or at least does not
put his Toksys on the local market !,
Yes, we can't go TO the home grocer

seems to me that, instead OF shipping
the grapes all away 1t might be a good
plan for him to let his neighbors see

you have been wanting and asking to
have new depot for the past three
years, they are repairing the old one
and now you may expect to wait an
other three years for the new one !
But, laying all jokes aside, the rail-
road people are planning to move the
old building to the vacant lots just ad-
joining the present site this winter
and if they do, they will make you
practically new structure, just as
they have one at Oregon City and else
where on the line. The present site
