VIII Get Practical knowledge.

H. NJ. Axtell, of Coos County, has
puchased forty acres Of fine grape
land near Davidson post office, He
intends to make vineyard work his
life business and for the purpose of
learning grape growing he will enter
the vineyard of his uncle at Lodi,
Cal, the grape growing and water
melon section Of that state. He
leaves here next week and will re-
main at Lodi until fall, then 1t is
his intention to return to clear and
prepare his ground for grape plant
ing next spring While at Lodi, he
will procure cuttings that he needs
and have them sent to Grants Pass.
Mr.. Axtell is a young man and his re-
solutions to prepare himself for
vineyard work are highly to his Gre
dit. Every man who becomes fruit
grower of any kind needs prepara-
tion for it, and 1t will always pay to
take the necessary time for study
and experience. 1t is true a man
may learn grape growing In his own
vineyards, but he will be obliged to
employ someone who has practical
knowledge to help him.

yellow Journalism Denounced.

At the corner stone laying OF the
New York press clubs new home
last Saturday Judge Gaynor, ne
orator Of the occasion paid a high
tribute to educated and honest
journalists. Among other things he
said:
"The press of the country has
within the past 20 years improved
vastly. Today, to meet a Journalist
is to meet an educated gentleman,
no matter to what department OF the
press he belongs, Today a scandal
monger is shown the door in news
paper office sooner than anywhere
else. In their conduct, public Of
ficials are held up by the press to
the fullest publicity. The press
should be free TO put demagogues
and political bumbugs in a bunch
separate, where they can be easily
distinguished"
His thrust at the yellow journals
was much enjoyed by those present.
