ROOSEVELT CLOSER TO THE
PEOPLE.

The attack made upon Colonel
Roosevelt in Milwaukee Tuesday
has sent a shock through all the
American nation. 1t is not so much
that the foremost citizen of the day
must suffer from what his physicians
term a superficial wound as that
deeds such as this can occur to make
Of our boasted freedom and our
equality of citizenship a by-word of
the nations.
But though Roosevelt may be
forced by this attempt upon his life
to retire from activity in the cam
paign, his cause will not suffer, and
the calling to attention of those
noble and virile qualities that have
placed him in the lead will cause his
supporters to rally to him with re-
newed energy.
Roosevelt in the hospital suffering
from the assassin's bullet is nearer
the presidential chair than he was
yesterday, and each OF these murder

THE ROGUE RIVER ToKAY.

Echoes of the Tokay grape festi-
val were heard in the commercial
club meeting Monday night, and the
more general planting OF the vine in
the valley was advocated by numer-
GUS speakers. 1t was pointed out
that by specializing in the produc-
tion of the grape, a market could be
made for it, and the fruit gain fame
under a common brand.
The season was not especially ia
vorable TO the growth of the grape,
yet in spite of this the Rogue river
Tokay grower is filled with the
greatest enthusiasm over the out
look for the industry, and this, the
first year Of commercial production
in many of the vineyards, has shown
that profits will be sure and salts
factory. Growers report individual
vines only three years from the
planting that are this season pro-
ducing a dollars worth of perfect
fruit. Portland wholesalers are au-
thority for the statement that the
Rogue Tokay has keeping qualities
that mark II superior to the Califor-
MIA product, and instances are cited
Of the fruit kept in perfect condi-
ton for nearly two months after it
had been taken from the vine. The
Iokay is no longer an experiment
here, and those thousands OF acres
of comparatively cheap land more
valuable for its culture than for 9TH
er crops should be put to producing
at the earliest possible date.

SOCIAL LIFE AN ASSET

Announcement is made that the
Commercial club is soon to give a
social ball which the management
proposes to make the seasons event.
The social side of municipal life is
too often neglected by its commercial
organizations, and the value of the
proper cultivation Of mans social
nature is too seldom given due ap-
probation. one of the chief assets
.of city is the opportunity which it
affords for pleasure and for social
enjoyment, and while the proposed
bah, and others OF its nature, are
right and proper SO far as they go,
they are but one OF many features
that 20 to make up a harmonious
whole. Only a small proportion of
the people attend the ball, and for
those who do not, other forms of
amusement must be provided Pro-
per encouragement should at all
times be given those theatrical and
musical entertainments OF the high

AGRICULTURAL SPECIALISTS.

The Rogue valley agriculturist
should be a specialist. In these days
Of fierce competition it is the man
who specializes in his line who wins
the greatest success. But for the
farmer of this valley there are GER
tain local conditions that make the
necessity of specialization the more
pressing. On high priced irrigated
lands of the quality Of those in the
Grants Pass district the acreage that
one man can properly handle and
till to its full productive capacity is
limited, and If he plants upon it a
little of each of those crops that will
yield so abundantly here, he will
fihd himself at harvest time with
Heterogeneous production, not enough
of any one to make it possible for
him to seek an outlet for it. AS a
consequence, the local market is
glutted with this agricultural mis-
celany, and farmers complain that
agriculture is without profit.
The painted literature of II diff
ferent crops from which enormous
returns can be made, true so far it
goes, untrue in that it leaves to the
producer himself the solution of the
market problem without explaining
the condition to him. If the aver
age farmer tries the growing of
these "17 different kinds upon
five or ten acre tract. he will get
wonderful amount of satisfaction in
watching his crop grow and unfold,
but the satisfaction will come up
with a resounding bump against the
market proposition. The local mar
ket flooded; no available outside
market to which he can proftably
ship the little of this and of that he
has grown, and no organization
ready to handle the little shipments
collectively.
But out of this condition is being
wrought the salvation of the agri-
cultural industry. 1t is making
specialists of our farmers. and the
grower of quality stun in quantity
is finding an eager and profitable
market With the transportation
problem in its present unsettled con-
dition, the producer must study his
crop before planting with that Ques-
tion always before him. There is
little wisdom in growing those crors
that can be equally as we'll grown
both north and south. for It would
be again sending Of Goals To New
castle when shipping time came. But
there are numerous crops that grow
to perfection here, and that can find
ample market in places to which
they can be prohtably shipped and
escape ruinous competition: crops
that can not be produced to the
north, and which the Rogue valley
can produce in better quality and
get to the northern market in more
salable condition, than can the farm
er OF California.
Il Is a pleasure to TIN the respon.
siye soil OF the Rogue with the hand,
more profit comes. however. when
