Dr.. Smith stands for q continuation Of
the present municipal affairs, and II O.
Kinney, who is termed the business mans
candidate, stands for greater civic i'm

COMMERCIAL CLUB
GETS A Big BOOST

At last Saturdays meeting of the
rsIt Growers Exchange held at
the opera house, Judge Geo. II.
Durham addressed the audience on
behalf of the Commercial Club,
outlining the work done in the past
and also explaining the present need
of cooperation between the fruit
growers and the business men Of
Grants Pass; he also urged upon the
taxpayers the necessity of their
signing a petition TO the county
court urging that body to make an
appropriation as provided by the leg
islature of 1906 for the purpose OF
advertising the resources OF the res
pective counties. AS a general re-
suit nearly all OF the citizens attend
ing the meeting signed the petition.
Fifteen new members were en-
rolled in the Comercial Club as fol-
lows w. r. Rannie, Fred Mensch,
VIII Scovill, manager OF the Fruit
Exchange, c. d. Coon, S.W. Phillips,
X. G. Scott. II. c. Bateham. Willard
Chase, H. Z. Caleb. c. Hefley,R. X.

total membership of 1875, by far
the largest number ever enrolled in
the history OF the organization. Sec
retary Andrews has adopted the slo-
gan 900" (members) working for
10000 population for Grants Pass
which means a greater increase for
the balance Of the county, as most OF
the home-seekers are locating in the
surrounding parts Of the county.
The club is now in fair way &c
be a most important factor in the
development OF this entire section
and the good work already accom-
plished in the past IS months bidi
fair to be greatly surpassed the com
ling year.

Good Roads Association
has Been Formed
MONDAYS CONVENTION.
Several Interesting and Instructive
Talks on All-Important Sub E.
ject of Good Raods.

The Good Roads Convention an
nouncea last week was held on Mon
day afternoon, ,and the beginning of a
movement which will be of the ut
most Importance to this growing
community. The Grants Pass or
chestra was on hand and discoursed
sweet strains while the crowd gath
cred and at various times during the
program. The Bethany Quartet
composed Of Messrs. Cramer, Veatch,
Cramer, VOORHEES,, also favored the
gathering with couple of selections
which were well received. H. l..
Andrews sang a beautiful solo at the
close of the meeting.
Judge Stephen Jewell presided
over over the convention. and before
introducing the Good Roads repre-
sentatives, called upon Fruit In
spector H. c. Bateham to explain the
connection between good apples and
good roads. Mr.. Bateham did so by
stating that there was a vast amount
of land all around Grants Pass
which was excellent for raising ap-
pies, but unfortunately it would be
impossible to get the fruit to the
railroad until the wagon roads were
improved. His talk was interest
ing and instructive.
Benton Bowers of Ashland, a
member OF the state legislative COM
mittee on good roads, and who is
deeply interested in the movement
for better highways, explained his
ideas, stating that he considered 1t
necessary to have the constitution
amended in order to enable counties
to issue bonds. A bill aiong these
lines will be presented to the next
legislature and he is of the opinion
tuat It will. be enacted into law. He
explained thai this had been done in
California and though at first great
ly opposed, was now favored by al
most every resident of that state.
The taxing system now in vogue does
not raise sufficient fund TO
build good roads and furthermore is
Objectionable in that 1t puts the en-
tire burden on present tax payers to
build roads for the future, whereas
by the bonding system the present
generation pays only its proportion,
thus equalizing the expense The
bill providing for the amendment to
the constitution will also carry a
provision for the appointment OF a
state road commission and engineer
TO act with the county court.
Judge John H. Scott was next in
troduced as the Good Roads Evan
gelist. He talked at length explain
ing the purpose for which the Good
Roads League was organized and the
work 1t was endeavoring to bring

RAILROAD OFFICIALS
VISIT GRANTS PASS

Two different sets OF railroad officials
were in Crafts Pass during the past week
First came Superintendent l.. X. Fields
and Resident engineer W. Ballows and
later General Mansger J. p. 0'Brien ;
General Freight Agent Il. b. Miller
General Passenger Agent VIM. M. Nc
Murray and District Freight Agent
Z. A. Malboeui. Both parties stayed
here long enough TO meet our business
men, visit the apple display at the opera
house, and see something Of the valley
Thar visit here at this time was simply
to get better acquainted with our peo
pie as they are out on q general tour
in the interest OF the road. They
greatly admired cur apple exhibits and
we're loud in their praise Of the valley
as . fruit producer
While here they promised 10 send
the Southern Pacific Demonstration
train TO this section sometime in Febru
ary, and on December q horticulture al
meeting will be held at which IL Is
hoped to have DIR. Withycombe aud
Prof Lewis Of the agricultural College
present. Mr.. Malboeuf promised to see
these gentlemen and II they can come
will notify Secretary Andrews Of the Com
mercial Club 80 that arrangements can be
made for the meeting. On the evening
of that day Mr.. Malboeuf will meet with
the members Of the Commercial Club to
discuss freight rates and other matters oI
importance.

about. Good roads, he said, are not
such great problem as most people
are inclined to think, and other peo-
pie in other states are solving the
problem, and it is important that the
people of Oregon do not longer de-
lay in taking hold of the matter. He
was not inclined to agree with many
who think that the pioneers were de-
relict in their duty for not having
built roads, but rather felt that they
did a great work in coming in and
settling up the country paving the
way for the present generation, and
it Is NJ to the now-come's 20 build
the roads to handle the increasing
traffic.
The Good Roads League, he said,
has no pet schemes or projects but
they do believe that there are few
things which ought to be done The
state should make an appropriation,
the counties should help, and the
abutting property owners help. A
state highway commission is needed,
with an engineer. A tax of at least
one-half mill should be levied, and
this will raise 100000 next year,
and he believes that the money
should be apportioned so that no
county should have expended within
her borders more than $4,000 until
all other counties had had like
sum.
Reference was made to the pro-
posed state highway running from
the northern to the southern bound
ary and connecting through this
state California and Washington.
The proposed road, he said, would
run through Grants Pass. Califor-
MIA is building a road from Mexico
to the Oregon line, Washington is
building road connecting Oregon
on the north with Canada, and Ore
gon should do her part by filling in
the intervening space. He called
attention to the advisability of do
ing so from a commercial stand
point, as the road would be used by
thousands of tourists in automo-
mobiles and othes means Of convey
ance.
The speaker referred to Michi-
gan's road law, which is very COM
plete, but advised that we do not
try and go so far all at once, but
start with a good dirt road. He
then explained by means Of black
board drawing, practical road build
ing, emphasizing the necessity Of
careful drainage. No matter how
good road surface is built II
drainage is neglected the road will
sooner or later so to pieces. Next
substantial foundation should be
provided. In establishing a grade
where fills are necessary the founda-
tion rock or earth must be firmly
pressed into place with a heavy roll
er. For surfacing after the grade
is completed the first layer should
be four inches of crushed rock,
broken into pieces two and a half
inches In diameter. This should be
we'll rolled into place while being
applied, care being taken to see that
the road is kept crowning well In
the center to insure good surface
drainage Then the second course of
two inches of crushed rock should
be added, broken to about one and
half inches; roll again thoroughly
and add rock screenings, being care
full to keep out dirt and sand; CIV
ing the screenings a chance to work
down into the interstices left by the
layers of crushed rock. After this
the roadbed should be sprinkled aud
rolled. II not well rolled at least
so per cent of the work done will be

Reference was made to irrigation,
1nd the professor stated that he be-
lieved that this would be the most
important and profitable undertake
ing that could be gone into for this
valley. but he advised his hearers not
~ - GA the theory that because a
little water is good for Gees that a
whole lot is better, but to use II
sparingly and intelligently.
A brief reference was made to an
thracnose, which is fungus trouble,
,ut TINS disease being so well known
4e did not deem II wise to take up
much time with 1t. In spraying he
said to use good bordeaux which is
sky blue in color and must be made
and used fresh. In spraying a pump
that can not develop 200 pounds
PRESSURE to the inch should not be
dsed as good work could not be done
Al1h less.
fhe matter of frost prevention was
discussed and numerous instances
cited where excellent work had
been done by keeping piles of old
rails and wet straw and litter handy
so that smudges could be started
when the danger point is reached.
On the subjecc of marketing
fruit, our exchange was compli-
mented on the showing so far
made, and the growers were ad-
vised to get out OF the habit of
dumping their product into the cars
and trusting to luck to get good
price. There is no reason. he said,
why an orchardist or farmer should
not know what he is to get for his
crop when he sells II any more than
there is for manufacturer or deal
er OF any kind to ship goods and
then settle on the price afterwards.
IL people are going to organize to
keep the price down the fruit grow
Ters were compelled to organize to
keep 1t up and should do 80. He
said the great success OF Hood
River apple growers and other
fruit growers in that section was
due largely to their excellent Or
ganizations.
II is generally agreed that the
visits of Professor o'Gara to this
ssection have been incaiculable
benefit TO all of our orchardlsts.
He has visited many of the places
and in nearly every case has been
able to point out TO the owners
some way by which their trees could
be improved and a better grade OF
fruit produced. In closing his ad-
lress he stated that he expected to
visit here again in the spring and
make a more thorough stndy OF
conditions and expressed his will
liugness to visit any place desired
and answer any and all questions
regarding the fruit industry.
