IRRIGATION HAS COMMENCED.

The pump at the dam is rapidly
forcing the water into the northside
ditch, so that those who are FORUM
ate enough to have land under this
canal can from this on enjoy irriga-
ton to the fullest extent. To be
able TO cover the land in this valley
with water has been and is regarded
as the one great blessing needed, so
let us appreciate what is being done
to give us irrigation this season. Now
Is the appropriate time to cover
some Of the crops with water and 1t
will soon be necessary to use 1t on
others. Those who own land under
the above mentioned ditch should
not forget that the water Is now
svnllable.
There are many things that can
yet be planted end land owners In
the locality mentioned should avail
themselves OF the opportunity Of
ltered for Increasing all kinds OF
crops. It will be great source OF
satisfaction to every person who has
the ability, energy and foresight to
Increase his tillage under water this
season. Those who have orchards
and vineyards will do we'll to lrriSate
them. and thus save time In bringing
the trees and vines In bearing two
or three years earlier than can be
done without water. Do not forget
that irrigation is an agricultural
science which must be studied Ike
any other OF the higher branches oI
agriculture.

delay. The city should and would in

Our Medford banker was certainly
right and It is to be hoped the time
will come when the citizens OF Grants
Pass viii appreciate the value OF the
park and the river beside it. 1t has
been suggested that we issue park
Improvement bonds TO the amount
of s. 900 or $40, 900 and do the need
ed work without delay. This would
add greatly to the popularity of the
city and prove blessing as an ad-
vertisement to those seeking homes

THANKS TO OBSERVER

Owing to the electrical
power being off in the office
of the Courier, this issue OF
the paper is run off through
the courtesy of the Observer
upon its presses.
The loss of power was
caused by the transformer
house Of the California-Ore-
gon Power Co., through
which all the power Of the
city of Grants Pass is de-
livered, being struck by
lightning during the thun-
der storm Friday afternoon
and the transformers being
burned out.
The Power Co. expects to
be able to have the wheels
of industry revolving again
by night.
