JUDGE KELLY FROM

Mondays Daily.

Williams, Oregon.

Mondays Daily.
Judge E. E. Kelly of Medford, one
of the best known lawyers of south
ern Oregon, and an unopposed candi-
date of the democratic party at the
forthcoming primaries for the office
of district attorney for the counties of
Jackson and Josephine, is a Grants
Pass visitor today. Judge Kelly's Wis
it is occasioned by legal business,
rather than in the interest of his can
didacy, which he feels is progressing
favorably
Judge Kelly, who is in the early
forties, is an original type OF man,
weighing 27O pounds, none of which
is superhuous. He is self-made, wide
ly read and much-traveled; is a Span
ish war veteran, and was among the
first Americans to see service in the
Philippines, going to the islands with
General Merritt, under whom he won
high honors that brought him con-
gressional eulogy and an individual
medal for bravery; is honest, fear
less, simple and, when need be, point
ed and aggressive; shares with
George Putnam of the Medford Mail
Tribune and A. H. Mock of Grants
Pass, the honor of being the most in
trepid fisherman in the Rogue River
valley; drives a high power automo-
bile with the skill, daring and non
chalance of Barney Oldfield, and is
one of the best amateur ball players
to be found anywhere, despite his two
score years disdaining such adventi-
tious equipment as mask, gloves and
chest protector.
Judge Kelly is the principal owner
of the beautiful Queen Anne add.
tion in Medford.
Once a newspaper man in Chicago
Judge Kelly numbers among his per
sonal friends the late Eugene Yield

SUGGESTS PERMANENT FAIR
GROUNDS, JOSEPHINE COUNTY
To the Editor of The Courier:

To the Editor or The Courier:
Sir; VIII you kindly allow me
space for few remarks, which /
think will be of interest TO Josephine
county in general and that is: l be-
lieve the county should own fair
ground and buildings; just as much
so as a county poor farm. And as our
most valuable resources are agrlcul-
ture, we should hold a yearly fair to
show what can be raised in the coun-
ty, which will go farther toward de-
veloping the country than anything
else.
What we need in Josephine county
is more people and less brush, which
means more capital. Take for in
stance, the Williams Creek valley.
There is room for ten times as many
people as there are here now. A large
storage reservoir at the head of each
fork of the creek would put thous-
ands of acres of good land into cul-
tivation that is now lying idle. And
putting this land into use means
wealth.
And If the county commissioners
would secure a suitable piece of land
near Grants Pass and erect the pro-
per kind of buildings, where the year
ly fair, the poultry show and the
stock show could be held, 1t would
be the best investment the county
ever made.
The Pomona grange intends to
hold it's fair in Grants Pass this fall,
and will be handicapped for a suitable
place to hold such an exhibition, as
We intend to eclipse anything ever
held in the county, because the peo-
pie are becoming more interested
Hence the county court should secure
the land while it is cheap, because
with the holding of this yearly fair
it will show the people what can be
done in Josephine county. Then the
value of the land will increase.

NORTHWEST FRUITGROWERS
FOR SELLING AGENCY.

Consolidation of the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange with the growers
representatives interested in the
movement TO establish a mutual fruit
selling agency was effected in Port
land Saturday and it is prophesied
future systematic and successful sale
of the enormous fruit crops of the
northwest became assured.
1t is expected more than so per
cent of the fruitgrowers of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana,
representing an investment of more
than s25O,O0O,OOO at once will be-
come affiliated with the organization,
which has for its purpose the crea-
tion of wider market for the fruit
products of the northwest and the
distribution of the fruit through
those markets in such a manner that
while the price to the consumer may
be decreased, the return to the grow
er will be increased
While this statement may sound
illogical, officials of the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange predict it is pos
sible result through the elimination
of ruinous competition and the mer-
ciless commission men, as was done
in California.
Saturdays action was the result of
negotiations that have been In pro-
gress for more than year between
the various fruitgrowing interests of
the northwest, and for more than
three weeks between the growers and
the officers of the exchange.
In the evolution of the movement,
committee of II growers, represent
ing almost every district in the North
west, was appointed at conference
held at Walla Walla early in 1911 to
perfect a plan of organizing a mutual
or cooperative marketing system.
Representative of this committee
have been in conference with the di-
rectors of the exchange for several
days, with the result that yesterday a
plan was perfected for uniting the
two rganizations-the growers and
the exchange.
The exchange amended its bylaws
to provide for naturalization, elected
growers representative to its board
of directors and created an advisory
council, the members of which will
be elected by the various local fruit
growers unions of the Pacific north
west. Provision was made for estab
fishing an office in Spokane.
The growers committee was repre-
sented in the conference by its chair
man, H. w. Otis, of Peshastin, Wash.
its secretary, L. e. Meacham, of Wallt
Walla, Wash, and A. p Bateham, o.
Mosier, president of the Oregon State
horticultural Society. Otis and Bate
ham were elected directors and vice
presidents of the exchange.
This plan of marketing the fruit o
the great northwest originated il
1910.

LUCAS DEFENDS c. NJ.
LEONARD IN IRRIGATION.
Editor Rogue River Courier.

Editor Rogue River Courier.
Sir: To correct a statement made
and to make known a few facts,
which l believe are not of common
knowledge, | am addressing you, be-
lieving you will be glad to present
same to your readers.
In the April IL issue of your paper
1t was stated that Geo. w. Soranson,
as receiver for the Chicago Rogue
River Co. had attached the proper
ties of Messrs. c. NJ. Leonard, r. b.
Slaughter and P. Phillip, consisting
of 1900 acres of land, adjacent to
Grants Pass. Reference to the county
records will show that the lands in
Question are the property of the Chi
cago Land Co., and the Leonard Or
chards Co., both Oregon corporations,
and not the property of the above
mentioned individuals. You are quite
correct stating this is drastic
move" In my opinion a move much
to be regretted. 1t is unfortunate
that the entire community should
suffer from this apparent personal
controversy.
Our Commercial club is awake to
the benefits accruing to this commun-
ity through increased pay-rolls, and
to this end is offering material and
financial assistance to those employ
ing labor, who will locate here. Their
action is worthy of hearty support,
and it would seem to me, in view of
the fact that the Leonard Orchards
Co., without asking any favors has
expended for several months and is
now expending at Grants Pass over
$1,000 per month for labor and ma
terials, and has further, together with
the Chicago Land Co., invested in ad-
dition to these pay-rolls, over S125,-
900 and is preparing for even larger
investments here, we can i'll afford to
take snap judgment in this contro-
versy.
AS to the irrigation problem:
have definite knowledge that plans
were completed to push the construc-
tion of bitches and give us irrigation
this year in time for crops. Are we
going to simply accept the statements
which have been made, or shall we
ascertain the reason bringing about
this change of plans? | am prepar-
ed to state that if the people of this
community will cooperate with the
principals in this matter, all bills
will be paid and irrigation will go for
ward at once.
In my opinion we can we'll afford
to welcome and tie to men possessing
the financial strength and establish
Gu pusluess lHleSlll3 VI - W. hSOh
ard, r. B. Slaughter and P. Phillip
This community will soon learn that
their best interests have been served
through the stand these men have
taken. There is a reason"
Thanking you in anticipation oi
your giving tnis article proper notice
in your paper, l am,
Yours very respectfully,
]. w. Lucas.
