FARMERSl CAN TAKE A HAND

Every farmer in the county should
note the fact that the irrigation com.
mittee of the Grants Pass Commercial
Club have called meeting of farmers
to take place ON Monday afternoon
next to make temporary organization
30 ~ to bs able to represent the agri.
cultural interests OF the county in &c.
curing irrigation. The subject to be
discussed at the meeting will be, in a
broad sense the best methods of pro.
oedure to bring about the construction
OF irrigation canals and the supplying
OF water for the district. The Com.
meroial Club will ask that the farm.
ers select committee to represent
them in the organization of a ditch
company, In the negotiations for water
and to decide on the general plan to
be adopted regarding the water ser
vice.
1t is we'll to understand that much
depends ON the meeting next Monday
afternoon as this is without doubt the
most important subject that has ever
been discussed by the farmers and
business men OF Josephine county.
1t was remarked by we'll posted
citizen OF this county a few days ago
that I'VE must have water no matter
what 1t may cost" Most of us will
agree that the above is a correct repe-
reesentation of the case. and our
whole dnty in this matter is to secure
irrigation at tho earliest possible date.
The popular method throughout the

irrigation districts of the United
States is to secure permanent water
rights and as soon as an unquestion-
able guarantee is given to each
farmer who enters into a contract for
the water this plan will serve every
purpose.
1t is to be hoped that all who are
in search of information along these
lines will attend the gathering at the
Commercial Club next Monday after

THE MAIN STRUGGLE.

So far in the campaign little inter.
est has been manifested in this part of
Oregon regarding presidential politics.
1t is true. that the democrats of Grants
Pass have organized Bryan q Kern
Club and also the republicans have
organized Taft a. Sherman club.
The other political parties may or may
not organize, but, whether they do
or not. it will maze little difference
as to the support they will receive on
election day. The struggle, as of old,
will be between the two great parties,
the republican and democratic.
Looking over the field, as 1t may
be seen through the great journals Of
the country one can not help feeling
that this year there will be an un.
usual struggle for supremacy. The
business men Of the country and, it
may be said. the farming element and
fair share of the labor element are
with the republican party and the
chances are that Taft and Sherman
will be elected. However. surprises
often come in political years and
there is no knowing just. ..how..the bat.
tie Of the ballots will result until the
votes are counted.
The men who think aud those who
have large interests at stake openly
express distrust Of Bryan and they
firmly believe that evil will result
should he be chosen president They
claim that he Is Impractical in his
views regarding the important inter.
ests Of the country and 1t 10 generally
admitted that financial disaster will

democrats have no confidence in this

that he has not changed since he

Hogs Arc Profitable Crop.

Hogs are not raised to any consider.
able extent around Grants Pass, at
the present time, probably because
feed is SO expensive, yet here and
there we find an irrigated farm
where feed can be raised plentifnlly
and on such farms hogs are almost
invariably considered one Of the best
paying crops. The lands Of the entire
Rogue River Valley will ere long. be
placed under irrigation. When this is
brought about, alfalfa and wheat can
be raised in abundance, and when
these crops are grown the hog route
will be as profitable market for them
as can be found.
1t was demonstrated last year..at the
Oregon Agricultural College farm at
Corvallis that hogs fed on alfalfa and
wheat, equalled the corn fed hog of
Nebraska. Hogs should be more
proftably raised in Oregon than in
most places because it is free from
cholera aud all other animal diseases.

FRUIT INSPECTOR LAYS
OUT PLAN OF WORK
Will Conduct Campaign OF Edu-
cation to Aid Growers to
Raise Good Fruit.

II. @. BatehaID, recently appointed
fruit inspector entered upon his duties
last week and has so far inspected the
trees in many of the yards within the
city limits, and will continue the
work until all of the trees in his
territory have been gone over. He
has also visited the stores and notified
them that the selling of infected fruit
must cease.
The writer called on Mr.. Batehsm
a few days ago and inquired of him
what line of work he had laid out
for the fall and winter, to which he
replied, that it would be mainly a
cam paign of education. Continuing
he said; at has been said that the
best kind of officer is not one who can
do the work of ten men but one who
can set ten men to work. The in
spector for Marion county says it is
the duty of an inspector to enforce
the law as it now stands. Anyone
may learn what the law is if he
wants to or may learn by actual ex-
perience if he is too negligent or
stubborn to try. This is the legal
side of the subject, but there are
other duties of an inspector. Many
do not know anything about spray ing
or caring for their trees. This does
not mean that these men are not in
telligent or willing to be shown but
simply that in the past it has been
ont of their line. The inspe ctor must
teach them how to spray, what to
spray with, and the benefits to be de-
rived from such work. Farmers are
willing to be shown aud
fruit growers anxious to learn any
thing in their line which will assist
them in growing salable frnit."
Mr.. Bateham WAS next asked what
about the pests-are they going to
gradually get the best Of usP To
which he replied
''By no means! Being forewarned,
we are foresrmed. We already have
the scale on the run; there is less of
il IN the valley now than several
years, ago resulting from compulsory
use Of the lime sulphur spray last
winter. The pear blight can probably
be stamped out by another year If
each grower will out 1t out way below
where 1t has discolored the bark, and
report the case to me that future de-
velopments may be watched. The an
although one of our most
aggravating pests is, ! think. also on
the wane and thorough spraying
with Bordeaux this fall Immediately
after picking will put stop to most
of that. The Goblin moth, like the
poor-we have always with us, and
as long as the summer is warm and
the next door neighbor neglects to
spray, we snail probably continue to
have this blessing in disguise. "
Blessing, did you ssyI
Yes. If all the apples produced
were salable and put on the market,
there would Ibe such an over produc.
tion that they would not pay to ship,
but thanks to the poor little worm
and other pests, large portion of the
apples produced in the country are
kept off the market or condemned
after they get there thus making room
for the fine fruit of the up.to. date
grower who is onto his job"

Merchants should be just as careful

DODGING THE LAW.

To careful observer it is quite
apparent that Grants Pass is not a
dry town" During the last week
especially, there has been consider
able amount of liquor dispensed from
some source. Inasmuch as the last
election showed it TO be the will of the
majority that the sale of liquor should
be stopped, it is somewhat strange
that 1t should continue after the ss-
looms have ceased paying licnese.
Those who advocated the dry towns
and brought about the result, owe it
TO themselves and TO the community
to see that the law is obeved, for a
community where liquors arc dis
pensed on the sly is much worse off
than one where it is sold in well,
regulated saloons. Should the pres
ent condition continue until the time
of the next election when this ques-
tion can be voted on again. there is
no doubt but that the majority will
conclude that the licensed sale of
liquors is the best policy. But in the
Grants Pass is, under the
law. dry town, 80 let it be so in fact.

JARRE e Is DEAD
IN CALIFORNIA
Former West Virginia LegisIa-
tor Dies on the Pa
eific Coast

A telephone message came to NJ. ].
Jarrett at shinnston Monday night
announcing the death OF his brother,
n. G. Jarrett, At Riverside, Calif., AZ
e:2O O'clock Monday morning.
Mr.. Jarrett, wife, two sons-in-law.
two daughters and one son left hero
two years ago last October for Cali
fornia, for the purpose Of regaining
his health, which had been gradually
falling several years and the last year
he grew very much worse and a
general breakdown came a few weeks

Mr.. Jarrett was son Of Justice

wing him are his wife. two daught-
ers, Mrs. Myrtle Knox. wife of
Charles Knox, and Mrs. Efie Randall.

REASONS WHY
Women's Christian Temper.
anCe Union Wants
to Vote.

Some reasons why the w. C. T. u.
stands for equal suffrage are given a
follows:
Because God created humanity free
and equal
Because the mere accident OF sex
y an unfair qualification for citizen
Because governments derive their
Just powers from the consent OF the
governed.
Because in representative repub-
lie the ballot Is the only direct, and
effective method Of expressing the
views Of the people on governmental
questions.
Because taxation without repre-
sentation Is tyranny therefore those
who financially support the govern
ment and are amenable TO It's laws
should have a voice In their making.
Because women possess the proper
qualifications for citizenship, /. e.. In
telligence, patriotism, and loyalty to
the best interests Of the country.
Because an enfranchised woman
hood would reach higher plane OF
mental and moral ability, since re-
sponsibility educates.
Because women have interests
which need special representation.
Men cannot fifty represent women
Women need the ballot to protect
property. person and children.
Because the state needs the women
element. Government Is now one
sided. The state should be an
enlarged family.
Because the ballot is tho only
weapon which can NIL the saloon, the
chief enemy Of the home, the church
and society Prayers, moral sua-
sIoon, social agencies, and all Other
influences directed against the saloor
power are, in the last analysis. trl,
umphant only as they crystalize In
the ballot box.
