The Hair Riddle Hardware store
has few ssmpl's of ordinary Oregon
fir which have beeh polished and
stained with a preparation called Chi
Namal. The result is that tn, pieces
of wood have been transformed iUte
the most beautiful grained and colored
woods imaginable. The wood was
sent to the Ohio Varnish Company

In returning the p eces they wrote the

We feel that the specimens OF wood

Four Things Necessary
to Success.
IRRIGATION IS ASSURED
Problems All Solved and Ex
pert on Ground Making In.
vestisations and Surveys.

There were four things necassar,
in order to succeed in securing irri.
cation for this part of the Rogue
River Valley. First 1t was all i'm.
portant that campaign of education
be entered upon and carried out Sc
that the people generally understood
and apprecia ted the absolute necessity
of irrigation. The man who on all
occasions was In evidence with the
assertion that irrigation was not
necessary must be convinced of its
error.
The second thing necessary was
financial plan fitted to the conditions
existing in this section; a plan which
would commend itself TO those inter.
ested and which would be entered
upon by men OF small capital
The third requirement was q
physical plan that would point out
the place where the necessary water
could be secured and how it could be
distributed over the uneven territory
which comprises this valley, including
the lands on both sides of the river.
The fourth and last thing to &C.
complish is the actual work of con-
structiOn of the bitches. This may
seem hard task but it will be found
to be in reality the least difficult part
OF the work. This will be illustrated
by that old proverb MANY hands
make light work"
. In discussing this subject it must
be stated that the first requirement,
that is, education, has been most
thoroughly carried out through the
aid of the press, through meetings
held by the Commercial Club and the
discussion of the subject in the meet.
fngs of the oranges in the country.
Ponlic sentiment which was at first
Sdivided on the subject has come round
to the almost universal belief that
irrigation is necessary. As George A.
Hamilton expressed it, he would as
soon think Of farming or raising fruit
without land as without water.
The second requirement which as
named. was a financial plan that
would meet the demands of the com
munity, has been found aud adopted.
1t is businesslike in every particular
and is known as the 10 year pay ment
plan This provides that the man
buying water can have the privilege
of making part of his first payment
in labor and as this will be called for
before the work ON the farm com
meuces it will in many instances be
hig hly satisfactory TO the farmer
The third requirement is the wor k OF
an expert to examine the lands to be
irrigated and to Investigate verS
available source of water supply. He
is to include in his investigations tha
feasibility of the storage of flood

Growth In Few Months.

There are new houses goiny up
in all parts of Grants Pass, but In
in spite of this when they are all
completed there will still be scare
ity of dwellings for the ever In
creasing population of the city. In
the Lincoln Park section many fine
residences have been constructed
during the past few months, in fact
all over the city the same condition
exists. On north Tenth street near
Iowa c. F. CARRIER, who arrived
about year ago from Spokane and
purchased place this summer, is
building a handsome eight-room
bungalow. II is so near completed
that 1t is ready for the plasterers.
Mr.. CARRIER is one of the most pro-
gressive men of the city. His new
home is situated on a six-acre tract
which he Is preparing to set to
fruit. He hah installed gasoline
engise with which to pump water
for irrigation.
In addition to the six acres on
which his new home is situated he
has also purchased a 40 acre tract OF
land north of the cemetery and is
clearing preparatory to planting II
to Tokay garpes.
Not far from this place Hubbad
the CONTRACTOR is putting up five
room bungalow of the latest type.
The house is not yet completed but
is so far along that the family are
now living In II. There is about
half an acre of ground around the
Hubbard place which will be beaut-
flied and brought into keeping with
the cozy little bungalow
Dan McFarlane. on North 10th
also near Iowa. has recently COM
pleted a room residence and he
and his family are now comfortably
domiciled there, There is a two-acre
tract of land which will be set to
fruit and shade trees and otherwise
beautified.
j. C. Nelson is building a large
bungalow to take the place of the
residence which was destroyed by
fire sometime ago, This place viii
be fitted up with open air bed rooms
and all other conveniences for both
health and comfort Mr.. Nelson is
also installing a gasoline engine to
pump water for the house and the
three acres of land adjoining.

pleting a coy little bungalow at

ley has done most OF the work him
self at odd times and now has It 80
far completed that he and his family
are able to live comfortable in It.
He intends beautifying the grounds
by putting up II nice fence and set
ting out about so trees.
At 18th and Iowa, G. Feltmeir, is
erecting handsome 2 story resi-
dencewhich is modern in every
respect.
On Sth and Iowa Spalding Is
also erecting story residence
which is very pretty and thoroughly
modern.

porary residance in the acre apple
orchard purchased by him during

possible to secure a sufficient quantity
OF lands in this section to establish a

Still another man desires to know
whether there was a dairy ranch and

There were many more letters of

answered and informati~n furnished
wherever it is possible to do so.
There are some hundreds Of people in
this section now who have been at
