CLUBS WILL CONSOLIDATE

Last Tuesday evening was the
date set for the annual meeting
and election of the Burns Athle-
tic club. but the election Of the
officers of that club, was deferr-
ed pending a proposition consoli-
dating with the Commercial Club
and a committee consisting Of p.
T. Randall, c. w. Ellis and Henry
Dalton was appointed to confer
with a like committee from the
Commercial Club to arrange plans
to that end.
The Commercial Club met on
Wednesday evening and appoint
ed as its committee for that pur-
pose DR.. J. w. Geary, G. A.
Rembold and J. J. Donegan.
The committees met last night
and everything arranged so that
all now necessary is the ratifica-
ton of each club which will go
through without hitch.
The Commercial Club meeting
last Wednesday evening was an
other one of those love feasts
where the spirit of promotion
was the first in the minds of all.
Several matters Of particular IN
terest were discussed. Among
other things was the dry-land
experiment farm. Plans were
more definitely arranged looking
to securing the station.
The prososed resolutions urg-
ing our congressional delegation
to favor the Mondell dry farm
bill was discussed but as the
committee had not put the reso-
lutions in form it was suggested
that the matter be laid over for
the time. In view Of the gener-
al impression that the MondelI
bill will not pass congress in it's
present form with the Smoot
amendment several have in mind
the submission Of an amendment
to our present desert land laws
which will give the semi-arid re-
gions practically the same law as
embodied in the Mondell bill. |
There is a general feeling that !
the present desert law should be |
char ged and such being the SEN
timent with congress it is believ- |
ed this proposed measure will |
stand some chance Of passing. |
Among the changes proposed in
this law is the striking out that
clause making it compulsory for
applicants TO be residents Of the
state in which the land is located |
and further giving the applicant
the privilege Of reclaing the
land either by a system of irriga-
ton or by scientific dry farming
methods, so long rs the soil is
made to produce successful crops
Of at least a stated merchantable
amount. The suggestions along

water should be used. Avoid using
too much water. Hoe around the
vine once or twice a week to keep
the ground from getting dry and

One hundred dollars Is offered in
prizes running from 81 to $15 for
the best cared for and most thrifty

lin.
On the three days following vines
were given out near the post office
to each passerby who would pledge
himself to plant and care for the
same. The first day thousand were
distributed In this manner. Fifty
vines and stakes will be sent to each
school house in the county that can
be reached by train or stage line
from this city, and these vines will
be distributed the same as In Grants
Pass. Vines will also be sent to all
the towns in the county to be given
to the householders who will prom
ise to plant and care for them. In
all, something over 5000 vines will
be distributed.
In conclusion let us say that there
were nearly 100000 Flaming Tokay
grape vines planted in this county
in the year 1908, and there are now
being planted 265.000. II anyone
should remark that this will not he
a county of vineyards It will only be
fair to correct them.

LADIES' AUXILIARY
REGULAR MEETING

The regular meeting OF the Ladies'
Auxiliary was held Monday with
large number present II is a cause
for much encouragement to note the
growing interest that is being taken
In these meetings
Much new business was put
through, conspicuous among which
was the action taken to revise the
constitution, The present one is too
limited for the size OF the organiza-
tion, and is not In as complete ac-
cord with the constitution OF the
Commercial Club as II should be,
considering the fact the Auxiliary

We are Justly entitled to that name
for I'm twenty-five years we are told
that Tokay grapes have made but
one partial failure. IL Is here that
we can compete with the world In
raising Tokays, and men OF expert
ence in grape culture confirm this
assertion. The raising OF grapes Is
one of the Oldest industries and
among the first producers after the
food was Noah, and II Is well to re-
mark at this time that the grapes
planted at that period OF time were
almost In the same latitude In the
old world as Oregon Is In the new.
Many do not realize that within
the last three years several hundred
acres have been devoted exclusively
TO Tokay grapes and within short
time will come into commercial bear
Ing.
II seem to me that II a Tokay
grape is set out by each one OF these
school children here today, 1t will
mean by next September the first,
that we will have between four and
five acres OF Tokay grapes growing
within the city under the supervision
OF the school children who need
some recreation and attention to
plant life, particularly those who
are graduating from the high school
and anticipate entering broader
fields. When these vines that are
given away today begin bearing they
will be OF greater interest than the
rose with IL variety of petals For
three months In the year strangers
coming to the city will take back
news OF great consequence, Of what
they have seen, and, II they happen
In about Christmas time. they will
be astonished to behold the bright
red Tokay grapes hanging on the
vines.
do not desire to seek your at
tentlon any longer for feel at this
time that Mayor H. c. Kinney will
have something particularly along
the lines which ! have not covered,
and he will also tell you about the
thirty-seyen prizes which are to be
distributed for the best grown vine
on the first day OF next September.

is a branch OF the Club. One OF the
important changes will provide for
yearly elections hereafter to take
place in March instead of the former
quarterly ones. A committee was
appointed to make these reyisions
before the May meeting.
AS the regular election takes place
at the next meeting, nominating
committee was appointed to make
the necessary nominations. The
president reminded the present Of
ficers and chairmen that their re-
ports would be due next month.
The ladies promised to lend their
heartiest cooperation to all efforts
OF the city officials in removing the
obnoxious debris that renders some
OF our most attractive places un-
slightly. The interests OF the school
children will also be enlisted. The
work OF this day should be one of
the most effective means OF bringing
about our "City Beautiful"
Green and white were adopted to
be the Auxiliary colors in the fu-
ture.
A committee was appointed to
confer with like committee from
the Commercial Club to select wall
paper for the new club rooms. Both
organizations are eagerly looking
forward to being settled in their at
tractive new quarters and these will
add much to the interest of the
meetings.
Several means OF raising funds
were discussed Monday. It was de-
cided to secure a date from Miss
Edith Noyes, impersonator, of Bos-
ton, who is touring the coast this
spring, for an entertainment the end
of May. This will be an entertain
ment of very high order and Grants
Pass Is to be congratulated in Sc
curing such an artist. Miss Noyes
Is at the head Of the finest school of
expression in the east and her re-
concentrations are of the highest.
Her program will be a popular one,
full OF humor and pathos. To miss
this entertainment will be to miss
a treat and also a very substantial
way Of aiding the Auxiliary in its
work
Four new names were added to
the membership: Mrs. Geo. Nc
Carthy, Mrs. Lillian Dennison, Mrs.
Margaret Mallory, Mrs. Jacob VIII
liams.
At late meeting of the executive
board, Mr.. Riggs presented the plans
OF the Commercial Club concerning
the float for the Rose Festival OF
Portland. The board was asked to
lend their support to the efforts to
be made for raising money and a
hearty consent was given. Any
money over and above that neces-
sary for the float will be turned over
. to the Auxiliary treasury.

FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1000.

The nomination of Judge Il. 8.
Bean, Of Portland, to be federal
Judge OF Oregon, was on Thursday
sent to the senate by President Taft.
This appointment seems to give gen
eral satisfaction In Portland and we
have no doubt that 1t will be salts
factory to the state at large. OF late
there has been considerable specu-
latlon as to who would be able to
land the plum since Senator Fulton
lost out.

Next In order was the distribution
OF grape vines to every person in the
immense gathering. With the vines
was stake inches square and 80
inches long stained the color Of the
Tokay grape, The vines were to be
planted and the stake driven near
the vine TO give warning TO the
passerby that a Flaming Tokay
grape vine had been planted there,
The distribution went on rapidly un-
I'll everybody had been served. until
400 vines were given out. Every
effort was made to impress the re-.
eiplent OF each OF the vines with the
Importance of careful planting and
attention and TO this end the follow

distributed;
