ing to Help

There is one crying need in Grants
Pass at this time which should re-
ceive attention without delav ard
that is that the bushes and profess
sional men should get together and
stand together to build up the city
and county. 1t is an easy matter to
forget that we owe something to the
place in which we make livelihood.
No man has right to neglect a
public duty and 1t Is at this point
so many Of US fail To give all an
opportunity to contribute to the pub
lie veal is the reason for organizing
Chambers Of Commerce, Boards of
Trade or Commercial Clubs
Every man who does bus
ness with the public falls short Of
his duty IL he fails to connect him
self with an organization of this
kind II one exists in the town in
which he does business. Here in
Grants Pass we have what is known
as the Commercial Club, a popular
organization which has done good
service in representing Alright the In
terests of the city. Its good work ex-
tends in all directions and from first
to last it has been a credit to the
municipality and its business inter-
ests. There is only one thing lack
ing and that is funds to carry out the
great work 1t finds to do.
First the Commercial Club should
have a home Of its own so as to be
able to make an extensive display of
Josephine County's fruits, vegetables
grains and minerals. This display
should be made near the depot and
for this purpose building should be
erected on the railroad grounds. In
such a structure the Commercial
Club could have it's home and thus
save rent. The question Of how to
get the money necessary for the con-
struction of such a building will
quite naturally present itself to the
mind of the reader. The answer is
easy. Appoint live committee to
visit every mining man, farmer. fruit
grower, business and professional
man in the county and get from these
the ready money needed to put up
the building. For once let all
classes stand shoulder to shoulder in
the work of building up our county
and its Capital city. This move
should, and we firmly believe, will
appeal to all who are interested in
the prosperity of this geographical
division of the Rogue River Valley.

WATER RIGHTS ARE
UPSET BY COURTS
Impossible for Persons or Corpora
tiOn to Hold Right
for Speculation

One of the most important decis-
ions that has been handed down by
the Oregon Supreme court In many
years was placed on record Tuesday,
when the court held that the Con-
gressional act of March 3, 1857, re-
lating to settlement on public lands,
limits all RIPARIAN rights subse-
quently acquired except to the ex-
tent of the use of water for domes-
tic purposes. This decision, there
fore limits the rights of such ripar-
ian owners to the rights they have
acquired as appropriations, except as
to domestic uses, which are too I'M
important to be worth consideration.
Under this decision 1t is impossi-
BILE for any person or corporation to
acquire and hold a power or irriga-
tion right for speculative purposes.
Those persons, therefore who have
filed on water powers on the Rogue
the Deschutes and other rivers must
put the water to beneficial use or
forfeit their right to the first person
who does apply 1t to such use. The
opinion is of the greater Importance
coming just at this time, for the rea
son that the subject of water law is
to be taken up by the Legislature.
This court is the first one in the
| United States to construe the act OF
Congress of March 8, 1877, in this
particular. 1t in no way affects the
rights of persons who acquired
rights prior t. 1877, or who nc
quired riparian lands since that tit:s
and put the water to beneficial use.
The man or corporation who has
held riparian land without making
use Of the water is the one affected
by the decision.
The government cannot by legisla-
tion. determine for any state, after
its admission, what its legislation
relative to riparian or other water
rights shall be, but may dispose of
its public land and all rights Incl
dent thereto in such manner as it
may deem best, and either at the
same time or by separate acts, make
such reservations therefrom, by
grant, dedication or otherwise, as 1t
may see fit.
The water flowing over the public
domain is a part thereof and the
Natioral Government may grant or
otherwise dispose of its riparian in
terest separate from the rest of the
estate.
Any one acquiring title to any
part of the public domain subse
quent to the date Of the act Of Con-
gress of March S,1S77, accepted II
with title thereto with full knowl
ledge OF the law in force at the time
and subject to the full import there
of.

had the opportunity. Then why not
all Join to provide the means for a
building that will be instrumental in
bringing men and women to help
keep up the churches. 1t must be
admitted that without the new blood
our churches would have languished
and finally failed for the want of sup
port. 1t is clearly duty that every
man and woman owes at this crisis
to help provide this home for the
Commercial Club which will barely
cost more than $250O.

er. Tnen in 1905, it dropped to 23-
500, 200 barrels, and in 1906 it in
creased to S6,1S0,000 barrels. The
crop of 1907 fell off to $4,000, 900
barrels.
THE apple growing industry is a
substantial one; in fact, few enter
prises offer surer or more attractive
profits or more healthful and pleas
ant occupation. A small invest
ment will secure beginning, and
trustworthy literature can be had
readily from the Department OF Ag-
riculture and the numerous horti-
cultural and farm journals. There
never will be an overproduction of
first-class stock. 1t is, in fact, i'm
possible at the present time to pro-
duce the enormous quantity of good
apples requisite to meet the demand.
This is evidenced by the fact that
England, Germany, France, Den
mark, Australia and the Orient are
already drawing upon the orchards
in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and
British Columbia. When this ex-
port trade is firmly established, as 1t
will be in few years, the demands
upon the growers will be largely in
creased. This means more new or
chards and better care of the older
ones.
That apple-growing In the North
west has passed the experimental
stage and is already a factor may be
gathered from official statements.
More than 100000 growing trees
were reported by horticultural in
spectors in Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, at the close of the season OF
1908, and of these 6,744,161 bore
fruit that year. The total crop
reached an estimated value of from
$1s, 900 to $40, 100000. Wash
ington, with 2,935.S24 producing
trees, was seventeenth in the list in
number of trees and second In pro-
ductiveness. Oregon had 2.S25,9SS
bearing trees and Idaho reported
9S2,349 trees in fruit. When the
other trees now growing come in
to bearing In 1912 1t is estimated
the yield will be about $4,000, 900
bushels, or 100000 bushels more
than the total crop of the United
States in 1908, equal also to the
wheat yield of the three States that
year. Washington had 5,332,097
apple trees at the beginning of the
season, during which 2,500,0O0 were
set out, with more than 1900, 900
contracted for to be planted in 1909.
Oregon had 5.5OO,OOO and set out g.
900, 900 more, while Idaho reported
$500, 900.
The apple Is the national fruit OF
America. This can hardly be ques-
toned in face of the fact that in ho-
tells, restaurants, resorts. trains,
steamers and homes the fruit is ser
we'd throughout the year. But
while there are apples everywhere,
apparently, the supply is not suffi.
cient to go around. and, as a result
there must be many places where
an apple is regarded as more of a
luxury than 1t should be.
Ambitious apple-growers In the
Northwest and elsewhere saw more
attractions In the National Apple
Show than the premiums offered by
the management. They believe II
will prove its greatest success from
an educational viewpoint"

stage. The emperor died, and the em-
press dOwager ruled the country for
her son. the Prince Kim Sung. To sat
