ROGUE RIVER WATER
SUPPLY INVESTIGATED
United States Geological Survey
Looking up Supply Avail
nble for lrrego tion.

The United States Geological Sur.
vey has undertaken an investigation
of the water supply available for ir'
rigation and other purposes in Rogue
River Valley. Extensive cultivation,
coupled with the judicious use OF
water in portions of this valley where
irrigation has not heretofore been
deemed necessary, has given such
excellent results rs to create an ever
increasing demand for water.
This valley, of which Mcdford,
Grants Pass, and Ashland are the
leading cities, has an area almost ss
large as the State OF Delaware, a
mean annual temperature of SO de-
grees, and a mean annual rainfall of
81 inches. Peaches, pears, grapes
and berries Of all kinds are grown In
great abundance, but the valley is
especially noted for the exoellen
quality, color. and flavor Of its Yel.
low Newton and Spitzenberg apples.
to the production of which tho soil and
climate appear to be particularly
favorable.
The upper end Of the valley is
by Bear Creek and It's tribu-
tsries. This stream Is subject to
heavy winter floods but becomes
almost dry in summer. and the low
water flow has been practically all
Any scheme to in
crease the acreage under irrigation
must therefore involve the construc.
tion Of storage works or long high
line diches from the streams of the
lower part Of the valley, where there
is . greater summer flow.
Regular gaging stations have been
established by the Survey for the
purpose Of determining the daily flow
as we'll rs tile monthly and annual
maximum, minimum. and mean rates
of flow on Bear Creek near Talent,
on Little Butte Greek, near Eagle
Poiat. on Applegate Creek near
Grants Pass. and ON North Fork OF

measurements will also be made on

FRUIT GROWERS MUST

California Buyer lntima tes That

ped into Oreson.

Jno. T. Ames, representing the
large fruit buying firm Iof Simpson.
Hack Fruit Co., which handles about
halflof all the fruit which goes into
Los Angeles, has come mp to Grants
Pass to see about buying another big
lot of fine apples. Last season Mr..
Ames purchased the large Eismsnn
crop of apples and SO well pleased
we're they with the product that the
firm decided to send Mr.. Ames up
here to try and capture another nice
lot of the delicious output Of this
valley.
In speaking Of fruit conditions
here and elsewhere, Mr.. Ames took
occasion to very highly compliment
this section upon being able to pro-
duce such fine fruit and he also re.
marked that this was one Of the very
few places where the Ipests were not
very much in evidence. But he
sounds note Of warning to the fruit
growers Of this valley in that they
should be very guarded regarding the
matter Of where they procure their
nursery supplies. For instance, he
says he knows it to be a fact tnat
many Oregon nurseries are shipping
in trees from California into this
state and then are selling them in
this state for home grown trees. OF
course no such practice will be per.
mitted by the watchful fruit inspect
ors throughout the state, If only they
can get hold of any information upon
which they can base cause for act.
ion against the aforesaid firms.
Mr.. Ames has just been in the
Sacramento valley, which isl famous
as a fruit growing locality and he
tells of how that region is suffering
intensely from the pear blight and he
sees disaster to that industry in that
locality, IL drastic measures are not
adopted very soon to rid the orchards
of the.scale and other pests which are
becoming so numerous.
This firm wants to get iDs touch
with this section and to secure lots OF
fruit from the growers hereabouts,
although it does not buy except at the
inspection of its own people. In
other words, the fruit has to be
shipped to Los Angeles and there il
goes tbruogh rigid process and if il
is able to stand the test, it brings the
highest Of prices. But, inssmuch al
Grants Pass shippers were able to
put their product Into the New York
markets in such excellent condition
last iyear, it is not thought that il
will be very long before this region
will have established reputation fol
having fine fruit and so it's pack will
pass at par in any of the markets OF
the country. This is consumma'
tion devoutly to be desired and wher
that time comes, it will mean much
for the individual grower, as wei
as foI the development of the entire
region round about this city.

from the wagon bed. except that por-
ton on the rear end and all at once
without any sign whatever. the dump
boards tipped up, precipitating Mr..
Grout to terra firms and giving the
team such . fright that they fairly
flew over the ground. The heavy
wagon barely missed the big fair
arch which spans Sixth street, where
the hind geering was left and then
sped up the thoroughfare at break
neck speed. encountering the hydrant
used by the sprinkling cart at he
corner of A and Sixth. which was
given big jolt, and there the rest Of
the--wagon was deposited, while the
horses went flying on. The damage
was comparatively slight as to what
IL might have been, but the affair
drew a good sized crowd of interested
spectators to witness the flood tof
water that came from the broken
pipes for several minutes.

GRANTS PASS VERY
GOOD PLACE TO LIVE
Death Rate Exceedingly Low
Here and Only Old People
Seem to Die.

One of Grants Pass leading un-
dertakers remarked to the Courier
news gatherer that this was an.excep-
tionally heslthful climate and IN proof
Of his assertion, he added that HIS
firm had only had about 100 funerals
during the past 12 months, although
the said firm draws business from a
territory some 90 miles distant. He
also took occasion TO say that in most
instances the ages Of those who died
her eabouts usually ranged somewhere
near that Of 70 years, the cases Of
young people being decidedly rare.
During the past summer there were
only three or tour infants to die In
this locality. something remarkable
for this season Of the year, other )o-
calities much smaller having many
times this number. Such statistics
are Of vital Importance and go to
show conolusively that this Is In very
truth healthy locality.

We clip the following compli-
mentary paragraph from the Rock
bridge County News relative to our
worthy representative, Hon. s. W.
Sterrett, whose reelection to the
Legislature is assured:
Samuel W. Sterrett, of Highland,
who was nominated without con-
test as the candidate for the district
composed of Rockbridge, Buena
Vista, Bath and Highland, received
in this third nomination for the
same Office, made by a unanimous
vote, a tribute to his worth and
character to which the County
News can add nothing. Though a
Highland man bv adoption, he is a
Rockbridge man BY birth, and his
record and his breeding assures
that Rockbridge can safely trust
him.
