tried to dispose Of my produce to
them, and as l have to pay cash for
everything l buy. demanded cash
for my crop. l did not find single
one of them willing to give me cash
instead they offered me metal chips
and trade. and they would only take n
limited quantity at that Well. let
one dealer give me chips in payment
and now the business is bankrupt
and have the chips to show for my
work. Last year refused their terms.

and am doing the same this year.
And until the merchants wake up TO
their opportunity / shall continue to
do so. I may add:that buy all my
supplies in Grants Pass and pay cash

I believe In patronizing home trade
that Is the only way to build up a
prosperous city, but it must not be q
one-sided affair. Do you imagine for

some of their choicest specimens and
products which will be stored and
taken care of at the Exhibit room on
Sixth street. These will be removed
to the Fair buildings as soon as com.
pleted. There will be the grandest dis
play OF nuggets ever exhibited In
Southern Oregon, far excelling the
one made by Josephine county at the
Lewis & Clarke Fair.
The Ladies Auxiliary have 10 COM
mittees in active work, arranging for
the locating Of the numerous delegates
and visitors at most all of the finest
residences of the city.
Grants Pass means to make the oc-
casion CT the visit Of 80 many prom.
inent people Of national and state re-.
pute q memorable one in the history
of Southern Oregon.
A large number Of the prominent
government officials and prominent
business people from all parts OF Ore.
gon will visit this convention and
Fair upon their homewsrd trip from
Sacramento.
Hood River will be represented BY
most of their prominent fruit and hor.
ticultural specialists. The Agrioul.
tural Colleges of:.the State will be we'll
and ably represented. having already
appointed their delegates.
The merchants Of Grants Pass are all
taking lively interest in this great
undertaking and have made arrange
ments for special displays both in their
windows and also at the Fair build
inss. The timber exhibit promises to
be one of the most striking attractive
ness both in natural aud manufactured
products.
There never was time in the his
tory OF Grants Pass when 70 muoh
coop, ration and harmony was mani
tested rs at the present time, therefore
nothing bot gigantic success can be
the outcome Of this, our first real
effort.

DORA JENNINGS
DIED TUESDAY
Young Woman Who Was Twice
Tried and Acquitted
Il Dead.

Dora Jennings. the Granite Hill girl
who was acquitted on the charge or
numbering her father In 1905, died at
the home Of her mother here Tuesday
morning. The cause of her death was
tuberculosis. She made no statement
before her death that would clear up
the Granite Hill mystery in any way.
Her brother. Jasper Jennings. IL
still in Jail here waiting second
trial on the patricide charge. Jasper
Jennings was not at the house when
his sister died, but was allowed to at
tend the funeral.
Dora has been sick since May, and
has been living with her mother and
brothers since her aoquittal last year.
For two weeks before her death Miss
Jennings Was delirious. Toward the
lat she said neither she nor Jasper
killed her father, but her mental con-
dition was such that 1t Wal. doubtful IL
the statement would have any weight
with jury.
II is supposed that abe may have
contracted the disease by confinement
in the county jails Of jackson and Jo-
sephine counties where she WAS CON-
fined for many months awaiting trial.
