OF NATCHEZ
ARE DISAPPOINTED At
GOVERNMENT ACT7Ol

JACKSON, Miss, April 1.-Citizens
of Natchez are not at all satisfied with
the announcement from Washington
that the bureau of navigation has de-
cided against the proposition to have
the battleship Mississippi sent up the
river to the Natchez harbor to re.
ceive the silver service to be present
ed within the next few months.
Strong influences are being brought
to bear to induce the bureau to change
its mind on the subject. Members of
the Mississippi delegation in Congress
have been appealed to in the matter,
and requested to exert their influences
to have an order issued for the vessel
to be sent to Natchez. Effort is also
being made to enlist the aid of the
Lakes-to-the-Gulf Waterways Associa-

ton, and If that organization can
fully enlisted it may result in con
ermanding of the order.
The assertion is made with con
dence that the vessel would encounf
no danger whatever in coming up Il
river; that the stage of the stream al
ing the month of June, when the M
sentation will probably take place. w
be sufficiently high to give assuranI
that the big battleship will not
aground, and this is the only nayis
ton obstacle to be reckoned with.
The members of the Mississippi b,
tleship commission have not yet We,
ured any opinions on the subject. Tn
would like of course, to have the b
tleship ordered to Natchez, if it is
physical possibility. for the Mississ
pi to get there without mourning ,
usual risks, realizing that a presen
ton ceremony at Horn Island. I
place proposed by the bureau of ma
cation. could be witnessed by only
small number of persons.

Trees and Shrubs.

A collection is now being made at
the Commercial Club rooms OF our
native evergreen trees and shrubs.
The exhibit, which now comprises
about 20 varieties. was started by
H. c. Bateham on Wednesday Of last
week who brought down from Wolf
Creek an armful OF very pretty
specimens, and has them correctly
named by the Forestry service.
Others are invited to add to the
collection or replace faded specimens
from time y time for we feel sure
that the exhibit will not only orna'
ment the Club rooms but also be
very interesting to those who have
no opportunity to see the wealth oI
verdure our forests possess at thiI

committee is adding to this fund.

agreed to appropriate this fund but
only after a canvas has shown that
a majority portion of the taxable
property endorses the action.
The necessity of closing the con-
tract for publication in time to get
the benefit of cheap colonists rates
to Grants Pass, made prompt action
necessary, but the court and COM

hand not only desires the endorse
ment Of the majority of the tax
able property but also the endorse

taxpayer and citizen In the county,
that this may be a grand and unani-

natural resources to the attention

WORK ON NEW BRIDGE
CARRIED OUT SATURDAY

The river has been on a rampage
for more than two weeks and last
Friday night 1t reached its highest
point and about 3 o'clock Saturday
morning the ouly two piers set in
the new bridge at the foot of Sixth
street were toppled over and carried
down the river and deposited in the
deep water several hundred yards
below. These piers had been set in
the middle of the river and driven
from / to Is feet in the bottom.
Heavy timbers had been placed on
them and 1t was supposed by the
bridge builders that the high water
would not disturb them, bnt the
Rogue river has powerful current
AID at times 1t sweeps everything
before it. The old timer informed
the bridge contractors that they
might expect high water and there
was only one way to escape its con-
sequences and that was to finish
the bridge by the first of January,
the date mentioned in the contract.
1t is said the loss in consequence of
this mishap will be $4,000. The
loss is not so much however the
fault of the river rising as 1t is to the
company not keeping its contract
with the county. The loss to the
county by the neglect Of the bridge
contractors will not be covered by
the above figure.

Energetic Action Needed
to Meet Emergency.
EVERYBODY INTERESTED
Read the Letter Carefully and An
swer 1t Either by Letter or
In Person

President MI. Anderson of the
Commercial Club has inaugurated
a strong movement to insure the
Issuing of Josephine County Book
let to be sent to that class who are
writing the club for information re-
garding this section of the country.
The Club issued a Grants Pass
Booklet last year and these were
all sent out and at the present time
there Is no printed matter available
to send to the many hundreds who
are asking for information rels ting
to Grants Pass and the county at
large. Every property holder in
Josephine county is interested in
this matter and should respond
cheerfully to President Anderson's q
request which is explained in the
letter printed in full below.
January IA, 1909.
Dear Sir: The very successful
system Of advertising the resources
of this state, by booklets descript-
i've of the respective localities, tina.
has prevailed for the past year, IS
to be followed with increased energy
In one day last week, over six tons
of advertising material was sent
East by Portland, alone. other
localities are doing their share Of
the work in proport ion to their
ability and the progressive spirit of
the respective communities.
The booklets of Grants Pass for
1908, which attracted the attention
of would-be settlers and investors
from all parts of the world, advanc-
ed greatly the value OF land and in
creased the taxable wealth of this
county, but were too local in de-
scription. The edition is now about
exhausted, and with publicity cam
paign on Of such Importance, the
time has come for Josephine County
to tell its story to the thousands Of
prospective settlers and tourists
ready to visit this coast in 1909. The
time has come when the undevelped
landss, mineral wealth and forest
resources in farming and fruit
values should become known to
those ready and anxious to invest
and to come among us and add to
the general wealth of the commu-
nifty.
After consultation, the heaviest
taxpayers and most progressive citi-
zens in the city and in the country
where they could be reached, new
and larger campaign was planned:
A booklet descriptive of Josephine
County In which every section will
be represented by photo and read
ing matter.

The preceding figures convey
some idea Of the increasing pro-
ductiveness that would follow irri-
cation in this valley and the value
Of the large area that Is now lying
idle and inproductive for lack Of
water.
While crops are grown In the val
ley without irrigation, the increase
that would result win irrigation Is
well illustrated by the figures given
and the serious losses OF crops due
to insufficient moisture in the soil,
that have been reported would not
have occurred II the water could
have been applied at the right time.
Soils.
The soils vary with the locality,
from the rich alluvial soils OF the
river bottom to the red lands of the
foothills. AT the upper end OF the
valley along both sides OF the river,
are gravelly soils OF considerable
depth, covered with dense growth
Of native timber, oak, laurel and
manzanita, which when cleared and
cultivated and watered will be high.
ly productive. A the lower end OF
the valley these gravelly soils are
overlaid with a sandy, and In soiho
places black loan, rich In humus.
which are the most fertile soils Of
the valley. Around the foot hills
in different localities such az Evans
creek, Fruitdale and parts Of Mer-
lin district, are the high, red soils.
considered by many to be the best
grape and peach lands. This soil
is In isolated tracts not very great
In extent. Over the greater part OF
the area, lying on both the north
and south sides and also TO the south
OF Merlin, the soil Is what Is termed
granite" sofia dlsintegrate fels-
pathic granite varying In depth
from a few feet to 20 feet. For
this granite soil, water is absolutely
necessary. While OF poorer quail

per cent falls In April and May.
The rainfall for June, July. August
and September being less than one
half inch per month, condition
which is entirly inadequate to main
tain enough moisture In the soil for
the average crop. This compares
with conditions existing In the arid
belts OF Eastern Oregon and WASH
ington and is conclusive evidence
that irrigation In this valley Ia nec-
essary for the profitable produc-
tion of all crops.
The Value OF Irrigation.
To the farmer who is raising crops
without irrigation and who has
never given the subject thought the
first questin will be, What is It
WORTH" Drawing from the exper-
ience of other states where irriga-
tion Is practiced a few illustrations
may be presented:
In the Yakima valley, In the state
OF Washington, raw lands that were
worthless without water few years
ago have increased In value until
now with water rights costing from
$35 to $50 per acre they are worth
from $3.50 to 5000, and the same
lands with bearing orchards sell
from $500 to $1,000 per acre. In
the same valley, lands that will be
under the Tieton canal. now being
completed by the government, that
were few years ago considered
worthless, are now selling from $50
to 5000 per acre In advance of the
completion OF the canal system,
which 1t is estimated will cost about
$55 per acre.
From experiments made the past
year In the Willamette valley by A.
T. Slower, of the U. s. Department
of Agriculture. in charge OF irriga-
tion work In Oregon, In his Circular
No. rs, Progress report of Irriga-
tion experiments In Willamette VAL
ley, Oregon" A few crop results
are given showing the increase due
to irrigation In what has always
been assumed to be a humid climate.
