LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Bank stocks had the right Of way N
the trading on the local stock exchange
yesterday, with Commercial National anu
United States Trust in the lead. The COM
mercial Bank shares starting at aoh. 500
up to 800, the sales amounting TO iorey-
five shares. They were taken by single
broker. and that fact led TO some speeu-
lation relative 10 the probable successor
Of Frederick B. Stevens, who recently
sold the bulk of his holdings in the bank.
At the bank II is said the officers do not
expect any change in the management.
and that is understood 10 mean that al
fairs will go on as at present Tor the
time being The readiness, however, TO
take the stock at the highest figures
since the close Of 1907 seems 10 show that
some buyer seeks an advantage thro Ugh
the voting power OF the stock. Such at
least is the Interpretation put upon the
situation by members of the stock ex-
change.
United States Trust shares sold to the
amount Of 600 shares, also at an advance,
and on ascending scale. the top price

trading yesterday. Washington Gas came
out in small volume at Il and fractions

Lehigh Valley stock touched a new
high level yesterday, and, as usual. Wall
street was in a ferment as 10 the cause
Not knowing why Il went up to the top
notch, brokers declared they did not
see how the new high level may be
justified. Naturally. If they had. they
would have sold out, and that is where
Wall street for once found its sources
of information lacking.
The report OF the Bureau Of Statistics
on foreign trade in February shows that
imports Of merchandise last month ran
A.S00,009 above exports The reason why
interest attaches to such an excess of
imports is that nothing of the sort has
been witnessed at this time OF year since
1895. Within that ffteen-year period the
month Of February has presented an un-
broken series of export balances ris-
ing as high as S5000oo00 in February.

HARVEY, COUNTY CLUB
CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS

The Good Eats cafe, of this city
was the scene Of what is without ex-
ception the most novel banquet ever
served in this section of Oregon. II
was conceived and carried to most
successful conclusion by the mem
bers of the "Grass Valley" colony of
this city, numbering 27, who gath
cred around the festive board to do
justice to the 2S-pound turkey with
the usual Christmas "fixins." There
was not one but who had come from
the little city of the inland empire
within the past seven months, and
all but two are now residents of
this city, while the other two, R. H.
King and his neice, Miss Ella Walk
enshaw, expect to make their home
here in the near future, as Mr..
King has leased his large holdings
in eastern Oregon and after a tour
Of California and other southern
points will return here and make his
home. This gathering was remark
able not only for the numbers gath
cred together from one place or in
the fact that they had all located
here in the short period of seven
months, but In the fact that each and
everyone was more than satisfied
with this city and country as a home
and the fact that as body they is
sue a challenge to any other like Or
ganization to bring as many actual
settlers into the Rogue river valley
as they will during the next year,
and agree to forfeit a banquet for
both organizations If they lose.
Grass Valley is located in Sher-
man county in the heart of the fam
Gus wheat belt Of the inland empire,
which makes the gathering all the
more significant, as practically every
man present was formerly engaged
In either business or wheat ranch
ing there and are all men of means,
tending to show the class Of people
attracted to Grants Pass.
A photograph of the banqueters
as they were seated at the table was
taken by one of the guests and a
copy will be presented to each as a
souvenir of the occasion.

quartz. On many places pan pros
poets of gold can be found here at
the grass roots, and many stringers
of white quartz branch out in diff
ferent directions from the main body
like the projecting members of an
octopus. This property OF Silas
Whites in particular bears a strik-
ing resemblance to the properties al
ready mentioned as sold by Neil and
Anderson near Kerby, Ore.
This entire mineral belt on the
Bold hills lies close to the summit
on the eastern slope Of high noun
tain that looks down on the south

posed Crescent City and Grants Pass
railroad, which crosses the mouth
Of Myrtle creek about 400 yards
from the stage road.

This method applies economically
to stumps above one foot In diameter
the smaller stumps can be re-
moved quicker by pulling with horse
and capstan, or donkey engine where
such power is available.
In tests of char-pitting, all bark
was removed from the stumps for a
height of about two feet from the
ground. Enough dry kindling wood
was gathered from the ground and
down logs to form a ring six to eight
inches in thickness entirely around
stumps where bark had been re-
moved. After kindling was placed,
1t was closely covered with clods and
thick flakes of clay dug near the
stump with a farm shovel, only leav-
ing small space, about foot wide
for igniting the kindling.
While the kindling wood on first
stump was getting thoroughly ig-
nited, other stumps were similarly
prepared and the kindling fired.
After kindling got thoroughly
burning the one-foot opening was al
so covered with dirt to drive the fire
around the entire ring of kindling
like charcoal pit. When the rising
smoke indicated that the kindling
around the stump was we'll lighted,
additional dirt was placed closely
around the stump to keep all the
heat inside the casing of earth.
None of the heat escaping, the fire
grows hotter from the burning
stump and slowly destroys the stump.
Tall stumps will burn entirely off
Just above the earth casing, and such
crowns can be readily burned up in
log heaps.
The bed Of Goals left where the
crown burned off should be covered
closely with additional earth and all
roots that are exposed above ground
should also be similarly covered with
from four to six inches of earth, and
the fire will follow roots to their ends
clear below blowing depth.
The first day of the tests two men
prepared and fired thirty-two large
stumps. The second day they exam
ined the thirty-two burning stumps
and added dirt to the banking where
necessary, and prepared and fired
twenty-six more stumps; the third
day, twenty-four stumps; and the
fourth day, eighteen stumps-a total
Of one hundred stumps. Every day
they visited the burning stumps and
prepared and fired more stumps.
Data was computed on the pre-
paring-firing and tending-of one
hundred stumps kept burning con-
tinuously at an average cost of less
than fifty cents per stump, only la
Dor and five cents, worth of matches
being used. These one hundred
stumps averaged 46 inches In diam
eter at the base, by actual measure
ment.
These tests on Mr.. Dupertuis' land
were made on shot clay soil, on the
hill land of the south side of the
Chehalis river, about one mile from
Adna station on the Northern Pacific
railway.
