INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
THINGS HUM IN SOUTH.
Grants Pass Man Tells OF Project to
Water O,OOO Acres.

Grants Pass Man Tells OF Project to
Water 10000 Acres.
Portland--"Everybody is too busy
In Southern Oregon to think Of what
the rest Of the world is doing" said
II. 7. Norton, of Grants Pass.
Things are humming down our way,
many settlers are coming in and there
will be remarkable development Of
that part Of the state within the next
few years.
"The Rogue River Irrigation &
Power company has just let contract
for a project which will irrigate 30,-
900 acres, although 10000 acres are
contemplated in the entire scheme.
The contract calls for water on the
Grants Pass district, composed Of
about $4,000 acres, for the irrigation
season of 1911, and water on the Mer-
lin district, containing about the same
acreage, for the season of 1912.
"The districts are being settled rap
idly and the irrigation bitches mean a
Transformation of the entire country.
In many places there Is sufficient sub
irrigation TO insure good crops and the
valleys are also productive without ir-
rigation. The new system will patch
up the bare spots left by nature, max
ing the whole country a vast field of
producing soil. Many Of the ranchers
who are raising good crops without ir-
rigation will take water to insure
against possible drouth and to in
crease the productiveness of the fer
tile soil.
Irrigation was not considered feas-
ible until local company was organ
lied and promoted system last year.
II was pumping proposition. The
contract for the pumping and water
was let TO the Golden Drift Mining
company and last summer the water
was run down the main street Of
Grants Pass to show that irrigation
was possible. Then high water came.
one end Of the mining company's dam
was washed away, the stockholders Of
the company became involved in liti-
cation among themselves, and no re-
pairs were made. The local irrigation
company Ia now part Of the Rogue
River Irrigation 4 Power company and
will carry the new project through"

Jeffries. who said some time ago that
he would begin his training work near his

two or three persons and win endeavOr to

has been snowbound a total Of fortytwo
hours in three days.
Jeffries was looking we'll yesterday. He
showed the strains OF the one night

the superfluous flesh he carried a few
months ago. He used the few minutes he
had in Chicago to pay short visit to his
wife, who is recovering from a severe i'll
ness at the Michael Reese Hospital. She
will not be able to rejon the show troupe,
but will be removed to her home In Los
Angeles as soon as she is able to travel
Gotch says: "All jeff needs is plenty
OF good, hard work and he will go into
the ring in fine fettle. The other day we
wrestled for half an hour. and he finished
fully as strong as i did. OF course he
is not finished grappler. but he gave me
hard battle. l was forced to use the
Greco-Roman style of wrestling. because
he did not want me to work on his legs

is. because he knows little of the wrest-
