IMMEDIATE IRRIGATION.

North Rogue River valley can have practi-
cal and effective irrigation system in actual op-
GRAFTON prior to June 1st, 1911, so that field
crops orchards vineyards and gardens may be
planted this season. The Importance of immedi-
ate action of some kind that will bring about this
result cannot be overestimated. A delay at this
time means the loss of an entire year
HOW OBTAINED.
The Chicago-Rogue River company has solic-
tied the cooperation Of the Josephine County Ir
rigation and Power company at this time for the
purpose of bringing about condition of affairs
whereby the water rights and power plant of the
Golden Drift Mining company, and the ditches
franchises, and facilities of the Josephine Coun-
ty Irrigation and Power company will be used
together this year, as contemplated at the time
of the organization Of the Josephine County r.
rigation and Power company Its contract with
the Golden Drift company is now in full force
and effect and should be carried out. The Chi
cago-Rogue River company's interest in the
Golden Drift property warrants it helping the
Josephine company or carrying out the work
started by the investments of local people. We
ask the cooperation of every vested interest.

already invested and pledged and now available
for use to provide immediate irrigation.
THE JOSEPHINE COUNTY IRRIGATION
AND POWER COMPANY.
This company apparently was organized for
the purpose of giving the city and land owners
water for irrigation It's business was conducted
on such lines as would promote actual irrigation
and there does not appear to be any way provided
for the organization to make profit, except in
directly from improved conditions. There does
not appear to be any way that it's stock can be-
come more valuable except through sale of its
property at profit
Under the present status it has no revenue eX-
cept by selling more stock, and, as it sold the
water to users at the same price that is paid for
pumping it is not apparent how the investment
can be made profitable, except as before stated
a sale of it's bitches, franchises ETC., at profit.
It has water filing on Rogue River, the making
of which was provided for in the contract with
the Golden Drift company. These filings are not
valuable except in connection with the Golden
Drift and through carrying out that contract.
The Josephine company's Directors should at
this time, wisely accept the proposition of The
Chicago-Rogue River company, who will carry
out the Golden Drift contract, and the Josephine
company will have thus made a success OF its I'M
dertaking and done what it set out to do-Give
the people water and make the lands and realty
correspondingly more valuable and actually pro-
ductive this year.
Another feature of the acceptance Of our prop
osition at this time is the fact that now dead
investment made to promote the best interests
of this locality will he made active and interest
bearing.
The s per cent First Mortgage notes Of The
Chicago-Rogue River company, that it proposes
to issue to pay for the ditches will not only be
available for the payment for water, but they will
be negotiable, and of such standing that the in
vestment will be available for other purposes and
a security that after June 1st, 1911, will always

NEW IRRIGATION SCHEMES.

Why should the community be held back wait
ing for something to happen that may never
happen in preference to an actual, practical, and
feasible system that you may have immediate
w. if the Josephine company will 60 along with
it's forces combined with those of the Golden
Drift. The "Minority Stockholders" of the
Golden Drift company want that contract with
the Josephine company carried out and to help
along that condition, will have spent about $780,
600 before the summer is over. That will meet
every requirement for this year and with i'm
proved conditions, the years to come can easily
be provided for 1t is an actual fact that the
"Minority Stockholders" collectively have
more money available today for investment
than they had when they originally put in the
$300,00000 Where will you 90 and get a set OF
people any better? They are here to stay and
already educated and convinced.
Any new people who undertake an irrigation
project in this locality must first buy over the
Golden Drift company's and the Josephine
companys properties.
There is no denying that even an irrigation
district must first do this, as "Applegate or
Hellgate" is not the way out
If the people and water users are not salts
fled with system we are attempting to furnish
them with, by reason of an investment OF APP
proximately $400,00000 already made, they are
indeed particular and unreasonable and must
not expect any new enterprise to be located here
unless it has $500,000,00, in cash. to start with
and it is debatabe question that conditions do
not warrant new and immediate investment
of $50000000--at best it is financial problem
there is no need Of taking up if we will start
with what we have now available-the Jose
phine company's property, the Golden Drift
companys property and the money that The
Chicago-Rogue River company wants to furnish,
to round out a good and permanent system.

ESSENTIALS OF A GOOD WATER
SYSTEM.

Tie most important factor is good supply
Everybody knows Rogue River is good rel-
able source with more water than land available
in this end of the valley. 1t is one of the best
summer streams for summer irrigation in the
United States.
The next important factor is the water rights
to the available supply-The Golden Drift Min
ing company has water right for mining and
power purposes that dates back to 1902. 1t has
a water filing for irrigation purposes made by a
subsidiary company the same year 1t started in
1902 the power plant on Rogue River, and has
since carried it to completion, and has not only
appropriated the waters of Rogue River, but has
had them in use In the year 1908 the Golden
Drift company made filing for irrigation in its
own name besides another filing of a subsidiary
company 1t actually used this water for i1riga-
ton in the year of 1909 by pumping it into the
bitches of the Josephine company s system. The
Minority Stockholders" are now engaged in the
reconstruction of the plant, so that the Receiver
will be in position to continue this pumping,
and using water, the present season. There can
be no question about the priority of the Golden
Drift water rights, and having complied with
the law pertaining to appropriations and use.
The other and probably the most essential fac
tor for building an irrigation system is the ques-
ton of finances In carrying out the plan sug-
gested to the Josephine company, finances are
not an important factor-not enough to retard
putting into successful operation going irriga-
ton system and supplying water this season.
The Minority Stockholders" have already in
vested more than $300,00000 The money spent
and to be spent under the Receivership will
amount to $40,O0000 more The amount spent
by the Josephine company amounted to $4,000
more, making an actual investment of $38O,OOO

OF PROPOSED PLAN TO
BUSINESS MEN AND THE CITY.

The reconstruction of the dam and extension
of the bitches will give steady employment to
not less than 60 men and many teams. There
will be consumed large amount of supplies
which will stimulate business
With irrigation assured there will be at least
200 more men employed on the ranches and
many more teams. Those ranches will each be
large buyers Of supplies. With irrigation fam
lily can make living off Of 10 to 20 acres. This
will mean that the real estate men can subdivide
all the large tracts and find actual buyers. 1t is
not unreasonable to predict that immediate irri-
cation will cause the building of at least 1000
more homes within radius of 10 miles of Grants
Pass, inside the next two years. This means
business for every merchant in Grants Pass 1t
will stimulate banking, real estate and every
line of business. The greatest factor will be the
new employment for labor.

in the future of Rogue River is second TO none.

Massachusetts F.opd Expert Reveals

Boston.-TenS cents will provide

man of 155 pounds. according to Prof

thorfty on Jdietetics. Four and one
half pounds OF food a day Is enough
said Professor henderson. and 70 per
cen OF this should be plain water.
since food repairs the waste OF
the body" he added. "the process is
merely, that of replacing like with

cost virtually nothing, we must fur
nish9tbe body with three sorts OF or
ganic substances, the fats, the Carlo
hydrates, and the proteins.
I'm view of the high cost OF living
it H. interesting to observe how
cheap these substances may be OBJ
tanned. A pound OF sugar costing
6h .cepts- will furnish almost enough
carbohydrate for a day. Two pounds
