has begun its sessions in Portland
and the entire state divided into

ganiza,.on is to replace all ridicu-
lous and unfit names with ones bet

for instance will probably be called
Marble mountain, as there is plenty
Of marble in that section, and no
"graybacks" that anyone knows of.

names around here that are not so
beautiful but that they might be

stand a change and many others,
where the names have not become
sacred by long association or

Eismann Orchard Sold
for Good Price.
OVER $500 PER ACRE
Has Already Made Fortune for For
mer Owncrs-thc
Eismanns.

The sale of the Eismann orchard,
FIVE miles below Grant Pass, last
week to Elmer Shank and c. c.
Hall, was one of the largest real es-
tate transactions which has taken
place in this valley for some months.
There are Ga acres in the tract, 35
of which is composed of apple trees
in bearing. Another 20 acre is
planted with apple and peach trees
alternately but is not in bearing,
though the peach trees will COM
mence to bear next year. making
at that time b5 acres of producing
trees.
The 35 acre tract is one of the
oldest orchards in the valley and
has had much to do with the fame of
this section as the land of the big
red apple, and while it was making
fame for Grants Pass 1t also made
fortune for 1t owners. The en-
tire place is well equipped, has good
residences, packing houses, spray
factory, irrigation system, and every
thing else to constitute we'll equip
ped working orchard.
The price paid was $4,000. for
LIE entire "a acres and while this
is something over $500 per acre,
yet It is not high considering the
fact that one years crop from the
o5 acres alone amounts to over
$4,000 When the peaches begin
to bear next year the return will be
much more, and vastly more yet
when the young apple trees begin
to bear.
The Eisman Bros. have been sue.
cesful orchardists, and they have
studied the question from all sides,
and while learning to combat the
enemies Of fruit have shown that q
properly handled orchard is the best
paying proposition that is known in
this or any other country.
Chris Eisman will continue to
manage the orchard for Messrs.
Shank Hall.

400 Acres Being Pre-
pared for Fruit.
ROOM FOR MUCH MORE
10000 Trees and 100000 Grape
Vines Already Ordered and
Season Not Over.

On all sides of Grants Pass, and
even extending almost into the heart
of the city, preparations are going on
for the planting of fruit trees and
grape vines, and there are yet thous-
ands Of acres suitable for fruit rails
ing which are still In timber and
brush which will be cleared and
planted before great while longer.
1t has not been many years since
the planting Of trees for commercial
purposes began here, 30 short time,
In fact. that but few Of the orchards
have come into bearing. Several
hundred acres OF new trees will bear
fruit next year for the first time, and
each succeeding year will see the
production more than doubled over
the preceding year. BY far the great
est number Of trees planted are ap-
Piles. and the Spitzenbergs and New
town Pippins are the leading varie-
ties, and next come peaches, pears
cherries. plums. apricots and so on
through the list--nearly every varie-
ty Of edible fruit being raised.
The Tokay grape became an ac-
knowledged wealth producer in this
section of the Rogue River valley at
about the same time that other fruits
came into their own, and the plant
ing OF vineyards has gone on at .
rate about equal to that OF the apple.
Nurseries which have representa-
tives in Grants Pass have taken or
ders for something over $4,000 trees
already this season, and about $685.
900 grapes. Many persons have also
ordered direct from the nursery, and
1t is impossible to get any idea of
the number Of either trees or vines
which have come In from these Or
ders, but 1t may be seen that be-
tween 700 and 500 acres will be
planted this year 10 fruit trees. and
at least 900 acres to grapes-even
though no more orders are sent In.
AS the planting season will not be
over for four months yet, II is safe
to say that the number OF trees and
vines ordered will greatly increase
the number given above. The above
estimates are made after inquiring
from each OF the representatives of
the nurseries here as to the orders
taken, and are therefore authentic.
With all this increase there is still
no danger OF over-production. In fact
the larger the acreage the better OPP
portunities there will be for markt-
ing fruit. Rogue River apples, peach
cas-, pears, grapes and other fruits
are becoming known, and as they be-
come known the demand increases.
The Fruit Exchange was not able,
this year, to fill the orders received,
and another year the exchange Will
be better organized and better able
to push the fruit to the best market.
With the large area OF land suitable
for raising all kinds Of fruit, there
Is but little doubt that within the
next 10 years that part OF the Rogue
River Valley tributary to Grants
Pass will be the largest and most
famous fruit raising section OF the
world.

POPULATION AND FOOD.

HE high cost of living and the presumption
- that the production OF agricultural COM
modities is not keeping pace in this country with
the growth of population, have caused consider
able speculation among writers who express all
sorts OF opinions as to the future. Farm pro-
ducts are high, and there is no immediate prob
ability that they will fall in value Some of the
city papers blame the farmers and the farmers
elame the middle men. There is a vast differ
cnce in the price that a Delaware farmer re-
ceives for his produce and the price the ultimate
consumer IN the cities pays for those articles
Some one evidently is making good percentage
OF proht But that is the natural order OF trade
The farmer near a city is one to reap the benefit
for he can sell directly to the consumer his pro-
duce at the prices fixed BY iobbers and dealers
who handle stuff on which high freight charges
must be paid
Some OF those who have studied the question
talk in vague terms about what we shall do If
population outruns the food supply. What they
mean is, if population should increase faster than
the means of subsistence This thought worried
an English gentleman named Malthus who lived
wears ago. He was continually harassed with
the notion that population was increasing at a
much more rapid rate than the means OF subsist-
ence and unless something happened even in
the enlightened countries. there would be star
ration These thoughts disturbed the Rev Mr..
Nautilus but the world is wagging or and on
and we have not vet reached the starvation era
Really, we are in no danger OF a shortage of
food supply. When one thinks of the vast pop
uaton supported in Europe on a small area and
compares our relatively speaking meagre popu-
lat'on with that OF Europe, the inference is that
we can greatly increase our number OF inhabi-
tants without danger OF starvation. We shall
