"Bread Line" Has Already
Formed at the Associated
Charities, But Organization
Is Without Money.
A DEPLORABLE STATE
IN A WEALTHY CITY
Funds for the Winter Cam
paign Are Needed and If
Money Is Not Raised Soon,
Poor Will Suffer Much.

Richmond, one of the wealthiest
communities of the state, with an as
sessed valuation placed at $14.OOO,O 900.
is neglecting it's poor.
The recent cold snap has borne this
out, and many poor families in the
city are in dire need of assistance, i'll
order that they may he as warm. wei,
fed and comfortable as some of the
more fortunate citizens.
The bread line at the Associated
Charities headquarters, South Fifth
street, has been disappointed consider
ably in the last few days owing to the
fact that this organization has moth
ing to give. Money is needed imme-
diately. The exact mount wanted is
$1,000. Of which the soliciting commit
tee has already raised portion, but
has been denied the use of it until the
entire amount is secured.
Clothing, especially that suitable for
children. SO they may attend school,
or remain at their homes in comfort,
is wanted. Providing a supply of this
could be had Immediately, the charit.

the present demands.
Clothing 10 Needed.
Undoubtedly there is plenty of old
clothing in the city to comfortably
clothe all the poor. Such as is
brought to the headquarters is not in
all cases, desirable. because the con-
tributors seem to think that the most
delapidated shoes, underwear and out
er clothing is sufficient to prevent the
poor from being chilled.
Mrs. Elizabeth Gambler, probation Of
flcer, stated this morning, that any
who desired to give could do SO, by no
tifying the headquarters. either by let.
ter or telephone, and that the associa
ton would gladly send after the offer
ing.
Food and fuel is also essential. As
there are no available funds in the
treasury, neither can be purchased.
The demand made on Wayne town
ship trustee, James Howarth. for fuel
food and money in the last few days
has given him an insight ON the duties
of the trustee in such matters. The
demand of the poor is made earle:
this year than last, although fortunate
ly, the demands are no greater in pro
portion than in previous years.

Because of Set Determination
Of One Member, Jury in the
Jaffe Case Had an All Night
Session.
ACQUlTTAl VERDICT
is RENDERED TODAY
After Report of the Jurymen
Court Immediately An
nounced Junk Dealer Had
To Answer New Charge.

For sixteen hours. Benjamin Gard
ner, a well known resident Of the
county, who served on the jury sitting
in the case of the State against Sam
uel Jaffe, a junk dealer, charged by
a grand jury indictment with grand
larceny, held out for conviction
against the eleven other jurymen who
were for acquittal. This morning a
little before 9 o'clock Mr. Gardner was
induced to change his vote and Jaffe
was acquitted on the eighth ballot.
The state Immediately announced
that Jaffe would be arraigned on still
another count of grand larceny tomor-
row in the circuit court. This after
noon it was announced this case
would be dismissed.
The case went to the jury yester-
day afternoon about $50 o'clock after
the instructions of Judge Fox had
been read. The first ballot resulted in
a vote of 10 to for acquittal and the
next ballot, taken few minutes after
wards was II to l for accuittal. Mr..
Gardner being the only juror to hold
out. Supper was then served and the
Jury returned to its deliberations,
which proved to be an all night affair.
Mr.. Gardner told R. K Shiveley, one
of the states attorneys. that he held
out so long because he could not see
why William Smith, colored, the star
witness of the state. who stated he
was implicated with Jaffe in the al
legged theft of the brass, would endeav-
or to try and send Jaffe to the Deni-
tentiary unless he was guilty. Mr..
Gardner could not see no reason why
a person OF SO evident low intelligence
as Smith could concoct the story told
by Smith.
The foreman Of the jury was Lafay-
ette Beeson The regular jurors were
excused until tomorrow morning, the
special jurors being excused perman'
entity.
The arguments Tor the state were
opened yesterday afternoon by prose
cutting attorney. Charles Ladd. who SET
before the jury what the state intend
ed to prove. Byram Robbins. anothe,
of the states attorneys. followed. The
states side was closed by r. X. Shive
ley
Henry q. johnson, attorney for the
defendant, followed Mr.. Robbins and
made an excellent argument, charac
teristic Of his past efforts.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
AS A FRUIT GROWER
Experience in the Cultivation of the
Apple, Pear and Peach in
Josephine County.
By John II. Robinson.O

Editor Courier: AS l have had %
years experience in fruit growing
will give your many readers some of
the reasons why l think the Rogue
River valley is destined to become
one of the greatest fruit growing
sections of the Pacific Northwest.
Our climatic conditions are such
that we can raise to perfection all
the fruits, large and small, grown in
the north half of the North Temper
ate zone.
am told by many people from diff
ferent parts of the United States
that they have never eaten any
peaches anywhere that excelled those
grown in our valley, either in size or
flavor.
While at the Worlds Fair in St.
Louis in 1904, being interested in
fruit growing myself, took special
pains while going through the Hor-
ticultural and Agricultural buildings
to observe the display of fruit from
the various parts of the United
States, and | did not see anything
that eXcelled our apples, peaches,
pears, prunes or grapes.

set small peach orchard %
years ago and have sold peaches
from the trees every year but one
for the last 22 years.
My peach trees for the last IS
years have netted me, on an average,
over $500 per acre, and some years
over $400 per acre. My pears have
done nearly as well, and the Sptzen-
berg and Ncwtown Pippin apples
for the last few years better. From
one pear tree last season we gather
ed 1910 lbs Of merchantable pears,
and the season before over 1900 lbs,
which sold for &c to 4c per pound.
In 1907 We received a letter from
Sgoble q Day, commission mer-
chants of New York, that our New
town Pippln apples, grown on second
bench red land, non-lrrigated, were
too large for the London market.
My experience and observation
has been that the sandy loan and
red loan grow our best fruit but
that at an elevation of 100 to 500

tion insures good prices to the fruit
grower and the farmer for their pro-
duets.
Josephine county five-acre fruit
farms will make handsome living
for a family and in ten years lay the
foundation of abundant wealth.
Stop over at Grants Pass and see
the country that is now being placed
under irrigation. If you are a home
seeker do not fail to see the cheap
lands which can now be secured.
This is your opportunity and it will
be your fault If you do not take it.

IMPORTANT POINTERS
IN SMALL SPACE

BY settling in the Rogue River
valley you will escape the hard win
tiers of the eastern and middle states
and enjoy the finest climate in the
United States.
The climatic conditions around
Grants Pass are all that could be de
sired. The weather is always mild,
winter and summer. There are no
thunder storms or violent tompests.
The thermometer in the coolest
weather rarely reaches as low as
90 degrees above zero.
Grants Pass has a big fruit and
vegetable oauucry and this instItl-
