PASS, JOSEPHINE COUNTY, OREGON FRIDAY MAY IA,

ground in good order for alfalfa
when the stubble is turned over.
One of the important forage crops
which should be introduced here
this season is sorghum which makes
good feed for horses and cattle gen.
orally. If sown broadcast and pro-
perly irrigated 1t will make from 16
to 20 tons an acre. We have seen it
produce much more than the figures
named. Field corn sown broad cast
makes fine fodder and it yields we'll
and all of these crops should, If pos
sible, be given a trial on our soil this
season if the land can be put in shape
for irrigation. Seed can be sown as
late as August and good crop made
with proper cultivation and irriga-
tion.
Many of our farmers now think
that deep plowing is not necessity,
but they must revolutionize these
ideas If they would succeed in rails
ing farm crops by the use of water,
Here is another instance where we
must "plow deep to find the gold"
Deep cultivation is absolutely re-
quired and this must go hand in hand
with the water correctly applied at
stated intervals. 1t will be found
that there is much to learn about ir-
rigation by those who have not had
experience. In order to acquire
some knowledge on this subject II
would be well to ask the Agricul.
tural College or Experiment Station
to send us a practical man to remain
here a greater part of the season
This subject it will be found is one
of the highest Importance and II
means the success or failure of oui
farming operations this year.

THE MEEK GIRL FOUND LlV-
ING WITH THE PRISONER
NEAR THE CALIFORNIA LINE
Slagle Returned to Penitentiary and
Girl Committed TO Boys and
Girls Aid Society.

Sheriff Russell returned Tuesday
morning from California with the
convict, Charles Slagle, and the 15-
year-old Meek girl with whom he had
eloped, as given in last weeks
Courier. The prisoner was locked up
in the Josephine county jail and the
girl taken to the sheriffs home,
During the day the girl was taken
hefore County Judge Jewell, who
committed her to the Boys and Girls
Aid Society at Portland, to remain
until she becomes of age. On We'd
nesday evening the sheriff took
i Slagle to the penitentiary at Salem,
Il and the girl to Portland. The father
- Of the girl, George Meek, was in the
city Tuesday from his Applegate
home to see his daughter before she
Departed for the Aid Society home,
and he makes the statement that the
girl was wayward, and asked that
she be taken care of by the authori-
ties. Slagle is a brother of Mrs,
Meek, at whose home he had been
staying for some months. The girl
Is in a delicate condition, and his
ofiense would cause him to receive
long sentence were it not for the
fact that he is already life prisoner
ard beyond the point of further
punishment. IL should be said that
the girl claims that her uncle is
not the author of her ruin.
The crime for which Slagle re-
teived a life sentence, as mentioned
East week, was the killing of an old
man named Antoine Joseph, a Portu'
gese. 1t was generally believed that
the murdered man kept large sun
Il money in his house. This was
the object Of the murder. However
the assassin secured only q small
sum, the balance being found after
ward by his nephew, Antoine Rose
who found concealed in an augu
hole in one of the rafters of the ca
bin $40 gold pieces to the amour
Of $1,000. Other sums amounting
to about $4,000 in all, were found II
the cabin.
Sheriff Russell had no little dii
iculty in tracing the fugitives bu
after a thorough search throug
Jackson county he finally locate
them in a cabin near the Californi
state line.

The enforcement of the laws re-
garding to sanitation will be more

OPPOSING THE SOFT
DRINK ORDINANCE

of taking down the screens at the
soft drink places has occupied the at
tention Of the chief of police and his
assistant. Under Mayor Kinney's
instruction the police have kept
close watch on the establishments

the city ordinance. Chief of police
McLane reports that the proprletors
of all the places have agreed to oh
serve the ordinance, but close
watch will be kept on all of the
places. An extract from the ordin-
ance passed by the council to con-
troll these questionable establish
ments will be found below,

CONFERENCE OF
FRUIT OFFICIALS
Commissioner Carson and the Newly
Appointed Fruit Inspector
Lay Plans.

A. H. Carson, commissioner of
horticulture, was in the city on We'd
nesday on business and while here
visited the pear orchard of F. j.
Burke, the newly appointed fruit in
spector, and looked over his splen-
didly cared for fruit trees. The law
directs that the inspector shall do
his work under the direction of the
commissioner and so Mr.. Carson and
Mr.. Burke while together took oc-
casion to talk over the inspection of
orchards necessary at this time. The
inspection will be confined to need
ed work, but nothing will be sighted
or neglected. Those who have dis
eased trees and are not satisfied as
to what is necessary to be done can
apply directly to Mr.. Burke and his
wants will receive attention. The
office of Inspector is one of the most
important positions in the county, as
very much depends on the thorough
investigation of the numerous dis
eases to which fruit trees are sub
iect. and this official has an oppor,
tunity to be Of the greatest service
