Ha8 How to Celebrate the Fourth {

them had their ear hung out for the rattle of Aunt
Poys knife on plate, and her cry of Draw up folks
and friends"
Elder Drown asked the bcssing-liks to never got
through, ether-and what with the appetite out-of-
door folks have and what the womenfoIks had cooked
up for the occason-wel, see plainly enough that Tp
have to be forcbe with myself in the refusal to go into
the particulars of that Fourth of July dinner. get to
swallowing and drbbng at the mouth the minute be-
gin to think about it.
After the dishes were cleared away the exercises be-
gan Levi Curl who had charge of the singing, was
worried considerable about it. He taught the singing
schools in those parts and he knew the fangs of all
of them, and especially how they would drag Old
Josephus Hill liked to be the last to let of
note and Polly Ann Ryder had much trouble to reach
the high that seemed kind of wastefu to her
to go on and leave them.
Levi hadn't had any reearsals together, and oh dear
he just looked to have it be plumb hzze He walked
I'D and down with his hands behind his back, wishing
he hadn't undertook it." He needn't have fretted a
particle He hadn't figured Big Sam and the bass
drum Sam got Lewis down, left right, up" with his
eye and the bass drum didn't let them drag bit They
just had to keep it going. Oh, it was grand Every
body sung, even to Uncle Peter who couldn't carry
tune if he was to die for it.
I won't go into Makemsons speech. 1t was about the
Constitution, and all like that. And you know told
YOU the Fourth of July wasn't the seventeenth of Sep
tember which the anniversary of the singing of the
Constitution.
Fourth of July is for the Declaration of Independence
I'm like Aunt Polly like the Declaration. 1t reads
pretty good to me- want to shout Amenl" to its
statements that anybody with enough to come in
out of the rain can see that when we're born we're all
Just the same kind of helpless little babies, and that the
differences between us later due TO bringing up
and the chances we have; that the Good Lord gave
all the same rights which remain rights just the
whether we are done out of them by force by
tract; that these rights enttle to live like human
good time while we're living; that it is the business
of government to fix it so that everybody have
that kind of life; that has authority to exist
cept by the of the people, and that it fails to
fix that everybody can have the full, happy, human
life then it not only right, is duty, by m

Many European Acts.

The great Sells-Floto Shows Con,
solidated will appear IN Grants Pass
Tuesday, May 1S.
While the trained wild beasts are
great feature, the regular line of
circus acts is fully up to high
standard.
The wonderful Nelson Family are
surprise and have no equals in the
circus world. The Riding Rooneys
are among the big acts; the Bertik
Troupe, Flying Lovetta Twins, the
Bronze Troupe of acrobats have no
peers. The Rhoda Royal menage
and High School horses are seen only
with this show. The clowns are fun
ny, the gymnasts clever; the ele-
plants numerous and the menagerie
and the Armour Prize Team are also
great features.
A free street parade will be given,
which will leave the grounds at ten
O'Clock on the day of the perform
ance.

Serious Runaway Saturday.

j, d. Mcconnell, living on his
farm at Wilderville, was considerably
bruised and shaken up by his team
running away Saturday. While Mrs.
Mcconnell and her mother were trad
ing at Dixon's grocery on Front
street Mr.. Mcconnell was watching
the horses in front of the store and
examining part of the wagon which
had just been repaired. He stepped
behind one of the horses and in
front of the wheel when suddenly
without warning the horses jumped
and began running. Mr. Mcconnell
was knocked down and his clothing
caught in some manner so that he
was dragged some distance and per-
haps struck on the curb as the team
turned into Fourth street. He final
ly succeeded in getting loose before
the light spring wagon was demolish-
ed. The horses continued their mad
race turning at the laundry on II
street to Sixth street, then to Front
and up Front to the cannery where
they were captured. Mr.. Mcconnell
took charge of the team and secured
another conveyance with which to re-
turn home, but the next day he was
unable to be up. He received sever
al bruises and cuts on his back and
side, and although no bones were
broken he was left In a serious con-
dition, although serious conse-
quences are not feared

STUDY SUBSOlLS
BEFORE PLANTING

The apple and pear, to be a
source of profit here, should be
planted on the best alluvial soils
along the streams, or If the hill lands
are chosen, they must be deep, and a
greater depth would be better There
are no soils too good and rich to
grow the best apples and pears, says
A. H. Carson in his annual report as
horticultural commissioner for this
district. The success and profits of
the Rogue River valley apple and
pear grower are in proportion to the
good quality of the soil his orchards
are planted on and the attention he
gives to details in its management.
AS shallow soil will spell failure If
planted to the apple and pear, un-
less water is available for irrigation
during the months of August and
September. However. it must be rc-
memaered that not ali shallow soils
are adapted to irrigation. To irri-
gate with profit, the subsoil must be
right. If the subsoil is wrong, ir-
rigation would be detrimental. A
shallow loan soil two and one-half
feet deep, resting on decomposed
bedrock or broken bedrock or loose
gravel would be all right for irriga-
tion.

More than nine out OF ten cases Of
rheumatism are simply rheumatism
Of the muscles, due to cold or damp,
or chronic rheumatism In such
cases no internal treatment is re-
quired The free application OF
Chamberlaln's Llnlment Is all that Is
needed, and II is certain TO give
quick relief. Give It a trial and see
for yourself how quickly II relieves
the pain and soreness The medl-
clnes usually given internally for
rheumatism are poisonous or very
strong medicines. They are worse
than useless in cases OF chronic and

ASSESSOR MUST USE
HIS OWN JUDGMENT

The Board of State Tax Commits
sioners Is making an effort to have
tax assessment valuations through
out the state uniform and to this
end circular letters have been sent
to the assessors of the various coun-
ties calling attention to various
changes necessary. Assessor Pollock
received such a letter which is In
part as follows:
Assuming that 1t is the intention
and purpose Of each assessor to do
his full duty, he should make every
possible effort to find all the taxable
property of his county and assess
every part at what he honestly be-
lieves is It's true cash value, or what
II should sell for at voluntary sale
made in the usual course of business.
This board expects each assessor
to be an assessor In fact, to exercise
his independent judgment, and for
the valuation entered on the assess
ment rolls under his direction be and
no one else is to be held responsible.
In making assessments on all prop
erty, both real and personal, he
should neither accept the statement
Of the property owner as conclusive
as to value, nor take the assessment
made by any former assessor or for
any former year as a necessary stand
ard.
In many Of the counties valua-
tlons on all or nearly all forms OF
property are unquestionably far be-
low those required by law. We In
sist that the assessor of every such
county should cut lose from this un-
fortunate practice and adopt new
scale OF assessments based, as near
ly as is possible, on actual cash
values. In county where valuations
have been very low, the assessor
makes mistake in trying to increase
them slightly from year to year. The
law does not authorize such pro-
cedure, and, furthermore, Il Is safest
and best to make the increase at
once. As soon as fair and uniform
valuations are established on true
cash basis, many OF the complaints
which tax payers have rightly made
cease, and the assessors difficulties
for succeeding years are minimized.
Every assessor who makes con-
scicnti0us effort to comply with the
law and to do his full duty as an
assessor will find his work approved
and sustained by this board at all
times.
Low valuations will gain nothing
for a county In the apportlonment OF
state taxes. BY independent investi-
cation, the board will obtain reliable
information as to the ratio OF assess
ed values to actual values In the diff.
feront counties and will equaize the
county summaries to establish an
equitable basis Of apportlonment.
Proper allowance will be made in
case any ,orm Of taxable property
Is assessed by part Of the assessors
and omitted by others"

Irrigation Beneficial.

Irrigation, if intelligently done,
would be great benefit to an apple
or pear orchard on such land, for
the reason that the surplus water in
irrigating would readily drain off
through the bedrock without injury
TO the growing tree, on the other
hand, should a shallow soil rest on
clay subsoil or cement hardpan, ir-
rigation would be detrimental to the
growing of apple and pear trees. To
successfully irrigate fruit trees on
any of our soils here under drainage
must be mad to carry off the sur
plus water during the irrigation
period These shallow soils with a
clay subsoil or cement hardpan can
be made available for apple and pear
growing by tiling to a depth of not
less than five feet.
Must Understand Subsoil.
Where irrigation is resorted to the
conditions of the subsoil in relation
to the growth of the tree must be in
telligently understood. The mechan-
ical effect on shallow soils by un-
der drainage with tile is to deepen
the soil to the depth the tile is laid.
During winter rains the surplus
water where land Is tiled is drained
through the soil and passes off
through the tile, preventing the fruit
tree from injury from excessive mois-
ture during protracted rain storms
OF winter, keeping 1t healthy and
vigorous during the dormant period,
so that when It quickens into growth
in the spring It is in the best possible
condition to grow and responds to
the skill and cultivation Of its own
er. Again, while the mechanical ef.
feet of underdrainage is to deepen
the soil and carry off the surplus
moisture, paradoxical as 1t may ap.
pear, underdralnage makes these
shallow soils moist during the grow.
ing period. During the growing
period the moisture-laden air passes
through the tile and its moisture Is
condensed and left in the soil foi
the growing tree. In fact will

School Teachers at Table Rock.

Table Rock was again on last Sat
urday the scene Of a notable gather
ing, but very unlike the gathering
OF warriors In the early history OF
the country which made II famous;
and any paint which may have been
discovered was far from the war
paint variety. II was arranged that
the company should be made up OF
teachers from Grants Pass, Jackson
Vile, Medford and Ashland, and their
friends, but the Jackson county In
structors did not appear In large
numbers, there being only seven or
eight and these coming from Jack
sonvile and Medford.
A picnic dinner was served at the
Gold Ray dam and then the ascent
Of the rock began. 1t was long
and hot trip, but the magnificent
view obtained from the flat top OF
the rock repaid the toll and trouble.
The Grants Pass delegation re-
turned home on No. 16, Overland,
tired but happy. Among those who
went from here were Superlntend-
ent Turner, Prof Mielke, Prof. and
Mrs. H. B. Hartman and daughter,

Study Orchard Soil.

On any Of these shallow soils
where the exposure Is right grapes
can be profltably grown without un-
derdrainage, and, with a depth OF
three or more feet, the peach can be
grown with good cultivation.
As to the variety Of climate and
soils In various counties IN the Third
district and annual precipitation had
in each county, hope by a detailed
description Of each county to give
the prospective settler some data

genial to the fruit he may desire TO
grow.
