ana discussed with them the fsasibil.
ity of irrigsting the valley and the
hilisides on both sides of the river,
Many questions were asked by the
committee and Mr.. Slower kindly an.
s~ered the most of them 10 the
AFTERNOON there was q public meeting
In the rooms of the Commercial club.
At the afternoon meeting the com.
mittee announced that they had ap.
pointed subcommittee composed Of
ID. l.. Gilkey, o S. Blanchard and
L. { Blanchard. whose duty 1t is to
take the necessary steps to Incorporate
the irrigation company. This com
mletee is now at work preparing the
necessary papers. Mr.. Slower was
again called upon to make a talk aud
ne did so by first telling what had
been done in the Willamette valley
ana other places in Oregon by plac.
ing water on the land. In the vii.
lamette Valley he stated that where
the farmer without irrigation is get.
ting one light cutting of alfalfa each
year and those who irrigate get four,
each time bumper crop. These
results he stated were gradually com.
pelling all sections. which have here
tofore insisted that irrigation is un-
necessary. to believe that it is at least
greatly advantageous. His entire talk
was exceedingly interesting aud filed
with solid facts.
A. II. Carson also made a short talk
on the advantages Of irrigation, stat.
ing that if his vineyard was locate
where it could come under the pro.
posed bitches he would consider that
it would add at least 800 per acre to
its value. Several other SPEAKERS
were called upon, and each and every
one was enthusiastic and insisted
that the water should be ready to be
applied to the lands by the beginning
)f next season.
There is no question now bot that
the people Of Grants Pass and the
farmers in this section are thoroughly
alive to the importance of securing ir-
and from the number of
persons that are taking an interest in
The matter, it is difficult to see how
It can help succeeding.

Expert Goes Over Valley
With Committee.
ANOTHER PUBLIC MEETING
Water Adds Three Cuttines 10
Alfalfa and Many Times
Weight Each Year.

The prospects for securing irrigation
at an early date are much brighter
at this writing than they have beer
at any time since the subject was TAX en-
up. Irrigation Expert A. P. Slower
OF the Agricultural department at
Washington arrived ON Monday and
was at once taken over the Louise
Greek Divide down to Merlin, then to
the county ferry and from that point
up the river through the orchard dis.
trict, finally late In the afternoon.
reaching Grants Pass. A hssty trip
was made that same evening over
Morris divide and to various points
along the hills east of tbs city. The
following morning he was taken to
the Applegate and given view of the
irrigated farms of that valley and
finally he was conveyed to the Carson
vineyard where be spent an hour or
more among the grapes. On the re-
turn trip he passed through the
Fruitdale section and back into the
city. To the afternoon he was escorted
to the Ament dam, where he wit.
messed the pumping power of that
plant. On this trip he was accom-
panied by the entire committee and
quite number of other persons.
At the dam there WAS meeting held
in the office of the Golden Drift
Company and after an informal talk
by number Of our citizens, Mr..
Slower was asked to address the meet
ing. which request was complied with.
He stated that he was highly pleased
with this part of the Rogue River
Valley and with the people he had
met. He thought that with irrigation
this entire section would excel in
both fruit and agriculture. and it was
mis- opinion that oor people we're
thoroughly alive to the importance OF
placing the Rogue River water on the
land. He talked at some length.
finally closing with the remark that
it took three things TO make an irri.
gated country tirst-was the land, next
was the water and last but not least
was the men with the money to
unite the two former elemeuts. From
the dam the party returned to town
well pleased with the afternoons ex-
perlence.
1t should b. mentioned that q. G.
Presley placed his Maxwell and him.
self at tie service of tile chairmsn of
the irrigation committee ear y on
Monday morning and it was in this
auto that Mr.. Stover made the var.
ious trips throughout the county.
The mach ne made good time ana the
party were loud in their praises nt
the ronning qualities of the auto and
its manipulate by Mr.. Presley.
