Fine Fruit Display.

The windows OF many Of the busi-
ness houses this week contain
samples of extra fine fruit and vege-
tables, whcih proves beyond a doubt
that the country In and around
Grants Pass IL among the finest In
the world for raising first-class fruit
and vegetables. In the window OF
the Sabin drug store Is fine dis
play of eight apples, measuring a
full yard and weighing exactly s
pounds " ounces. This Is one OF
the finest exhibits Of apples seen for
some time and were raised just out
side of town by s. n. Phillips BY
the side of these apples Is a large
cluster OF Strawberries raised by n.
Il. McGrew on his place here In town,
and are very large, the bunch con-
tanning both ripe and green berries.
In this same window are some very
fine specimens Of Gov. Briggs
peaches, grown by d. w. Woodson
on his place south of town and with
out irrigation
Elmer Shank has some very fine,
large peaches on display in his real
estate office, raised by him on gran
tie without irrigation.
In the window of the A. N. Par
sons real estate office we notice
some enormous Bartlett pears grown
by l.. ID. Allen on his place two miles
this side of the Eismann ranch west
Of town.
A box of great big" apples are to
be seen at the Best-Fuller real estate
rooms. These are OF the same vari-

FOR LACK OF HARMONY
PINCH0T MAY RESIGN
The Peculiar Circumstances and Con-
ditiOns Which Surround
the Case.

1t begins to look as II Chief For
ester Pinchot will be obliged to re-
sign. The Secretary Of the Interior
Is without doubt thoroughly in the
mood to undertake to run his own
department. Pinchot has been very
discrete on all occasions, but his
friends may not have been so care
full The sensational newspapers
have had much to say which has had
no foundation in fact. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Ore
gonian has this to say under date of
August 1S:
If President Taft Is unable to
harmonize the differences that exist
between Secretary Ballinger and For
ester Pinchot, 1t is quite within the
bounds of possibility that Mr..
Pinchot may be compelled to sever
his connection with the Federal
service. And those who know Mr..
Balllnger and Mr.. Pinchot and who
are familiar with the points of diff
ference over which they are now
fighting, entertain grave doubts
whether the President, great pacific
ator that he Is, can bring them to-
gether.
In the event that Mr.. Pinchots s
services are dispensed with, a gener-
al reorganization of the Forest Serv-
Ice Is likely to follow. The more
prominent officials OF that service
are intensely loyal to Mr.. Pinchot
and as thoroughly imbued with
Pinchotism as Mr.. Pinchot himself
Is imbued with Rooseveltism. II
those officials remained in their
present positions, the successor tc
Mr.. Pinchot would have extreme diff.
ficulty in getting away from those
practices to which Mr.. Ballinger has
objected. The infusion OF consider
able new blood would be necessary
in order to insure the conduct of the
Forest Service In strict accord with
the law.
No Jumping Over Superiors.
To Mr.. Taft this quarrel between
Mr.. Ballinger and Mr.. Pinchot is de-
cidedly embarrassing. He himself is
pledged to the Roosevelt policies,
but he Is equally pledged to a rigid
enforcement OF the law. Moreover
when he first assembled his cabinet
last March, he said to his official
advisers that he would not tolerate
practice that marked the entire
Roosevelt administration-that OF
allowing subordinate officers to carry
complaints to the White House over
the heads OF their superiors. He
said that as q cabinet officer he had
on many occasions been embarrassed
by having army officers appeal d.
rectly over his head to the President
He would not permit the members
of his cabinet to be similarly humi.
lated.

The pupils and teachers Of the M.
E., South, Sunday school went to the
Applegate valley in large picnic
van Wednesday to spend the day in
the shady woods. The party started
early in the morning while it was
cool and the trip out through the
beautiful surrounding scenery, for
which this valley is noted, was one
of unalloyed pleasure. The day
was delightfully."- spent with all the
mirth and jollification incident to
picnic excursions and royal dinner
was served and partaken of with
keen appetites. The party came
home in the cool evening, thereby
escaping for a whole day the un-
pleasant heat of which we have had
an abundance the past few days.
Everyone present reports a royal
good time.

Facts About Snake Venom.

Two classes of snake pOisonS are rec
Ognized by Dr. Calmette. director of
the Pasteur Institute at Lille. The
venoms of the cobra. bungarus and
other serpents of the east have pow
erful action upon the nervous system.
but the poisons of such snakes as the
cerastes. rattlesnake and adder have
more strictly localized effects. An old
error Is the idea that the poison is only
fatal when 1t is taken into the veins.
When taken into the stomach in suf-
fcient doses its action is very power
full. and sucking poison from a bite Is
not without serious danger Another
common mistake is the belief that
snakes are immune to the poison OF
other snakes. DR.. Calmette's expert
ments have shown that rattlesnake
poison will kill cobras and that it is
only bites from their own species that
snakes can bear without injury. Ii in
jected promptly. certain chemicals
such as permanganate Of potassium.
chloride of gold. chloride of lime and
chronic acid-have considerable value
as antidotes. The only really effective
remedy. however. has proved to be
serum produced by successive inocula-
tons of rabbits, guinea pigs. or prefer
ably horses. aud the efficacy of this
is almost certain if used within two
hours after the bite.

LARGER WEST POINT NEEDED,
Each Class Eighty Short of Number
Necessary TO Officer Army.

Washington oct. 13.-Less than 80
per cent of the whole number of offi-
GERS in the United States army are
graduates OF the West Point Military
academy. and each graduating class Is
about so short of the number neces-
sary TO officer the army. These facts
will form the basis of an effort to be
made next winter by the president and
the secretary of war to induce con-
grcss to increase by 125 the number
of cadets to be appointed to the acad-
emy every three years. instead of every
four years. as at present.
The present strength of the corps of
cadets at West Point was established
many years ago when the army con-
sisted of only $4,000 men. In 1901 the
army was increased to its present
strength of $4,000 men and $500 Off
GERS. About the same time congress
authorized a project for enlarging the
plant at the Military academy and has
from year 10 year made appropriations
aggregating about $6,50O.000 for the
construction of new buildings and the
enlargement of existing ones. but no
increase has yet been made i'm the size
of the corps of cadets. The work on
these improvements at West Point is
making rapid progress toward compile
tion. and the superintendent, Colonel
Scott. says that by next spring the inn
provement win have been advanced
sufficiently TO accommodate $50 cadets
The plan to be recommended by the
war department for increasing the
corps of cadets provides the appoint
ment shall be made every three years
instead of every four years. so that
each member of congress, senator and
the president will make appointments
more frequently. and there will be no
disturbance in the method Of distrib-
uting such appointments.
