TO STANDARDIZE GRAPE
OUTPUT OF VALLEY

The organization Of the grape
growers of the district was perfect
ed at the meeting held in the grange
hall, at Fruitdale, Saturday after
noon, NJ. H. Harris being elected
president, Florenz Breitmayer, vice
president, and w. e. White, secre-
tary-treasurer. These three Off
GERS, acting in conjunction with Paul
Kirker and H. +. Gale, constitute the
executive committee.
The association will now proceed
to a complete Standardization Of the
grape output as regards quality and
pack, and all sales will be made
through the executive committee.
About twenty growers are incorpor-
ated within the association, includ-
ing practically all the owners of
bearing vineyards in the district
The vineyards of this vicinity we're
with one or two exceptions set out
four years ago, and just now coming
into commercial bearing. Carson's
yard has been the leading CONNER
cial yard, and while Mr. Carson has
been deeply interested in the forma-
tion of this association, he had al
ready contracted his crop for the
present season, so that his will not
be included in the association sales
this year. Other than the Carson
vineyard, there are about 200 acres
that are just coming into bearing
and this will be considerably aug
mented next year. The price out
look is most excellent. and the grow
T ers will get excellent returns from
their crop.

The city council, the public util-
tiles commission, and the citizens in
general have been active the past
few days in conjunction with the pro-
moters of the coast railroad in per-
fecting a contract covering the build
ing of the municipality owned unit
of the road. The officials of the city
and the Interstate Construction Co.
are agreed upon the general terms Of
the contract, but details that were
more or less difficult Of solution have
taken time and have delayed final
approval of the document. The com
mission, the council and the attor-
neys for the city and the Interstate
Construction Co. have now, however,
arrived at a basis where all interests
seem to be best served. Under the
contracts the California people are
to build the municipal unit, the road
from the S. P. junction in this city
to Wilderville, and to accept the
city's bonds in payment. From the
proceeds OF these bonds. however,
the city is to be reimbursed for ap-
proximately $4,000 which it has al
ready expended in purchase Of ter
minals. right-of-way, in grading etc.
and for the purchase Of the Riggs
Lucas holdings. The remainder Of
proceeds from the bond issue the
company accepts in payment for the
completed line to Wilderville. in
Guiding bridges across the Rogue
and Applegate rivers. and across AL
len creek. The contract is contin-
gent. Of course, upon the decision Of

CAkNERY RECEIVES
It's FIRST TOMATOES

Ihe nrst tomatoes TO be canned al
the local cannery were put into tin
Tuesday, the Leonard Orchard Co.
bringing in a ton Of prime tomatoes,
and a number OF other growers turn
ing in smaller quantities at the in.
stitution. Thus far the bulk of the
tomatoes have been shipped out
green and have found ready market
both to the north and in the Klam-
ath and Siskiyou districts. The main
crop that was planted for the can
merry is Just now coming on, however,
and receipts at the institution should
increase rapidly. The eannery will
receive tomatoes daily in any guam
titles.
The first pears are being canned
today, and the cannery will be an ac-
tive establishment during the bal
ance of the season, the peaches fol-
lowing closely on the pear season,
and the tomato crop increasing till
frost in the fall.
Another car of pears left the ware
house of the Growers association
Tuesday night. and another will fol-
low as soon as it is loaded. In har-
vesting the pears only the full sized
fruits are picked at the first picking,
and the second picking usually fol-
lows about a week later, but Fruit
Inspector Burke says that the fruit
has been filling out so rapidly during
the past few days that picking will
have to continue without Interrupt
ton. The association will therefore
receive pears every day.
A good many Hungarian and Ital.
ian prunes are being received at the
association packing house, though
though not enough to make a carload
shipment. A car OF mixed prunes
and pears was loaded out, and anoth.
er of the same kind is now being pre-.
pared.
Disbursements to the producers are
now being made, a draft for s13S2
covering the first two cars OF pears
shipped. having been received fol
distribution Tuesday.

BURLEY is APPOINTED
RECEIVER OF ALMEDA

Judge Calkins, on the application
of the assistant attorney general. on
action brought by Corporation Com
missioner Watson, on Tuesday after
noon appointed Thos. S. Burley, OF
Tacoma, as receiver for the Almeda
Mining company, which company
owns the big Almeda mine at Galice,
in this county.
This action has been taken as the
first step toward the rehabilitation
of this great property which has
within It the making OF one Of the
richest mines of the west. The AL
media has been hampered through
lack OF funds and through some pos
sible errors in policy, and the nam
ing Of Mr.. Burley as receiver In the
capacity of manager will mean that
it will be brought out OF its difficult
ties in the shortest possible time. Mr..
Burley is a practical mining man,
and has ample finances In view for
the building up OF the property and
the placing II again upon a paying
basis. All claims against the prop
erty will, II is said, be met In due
time, and no stockholder need fear
for the safety OF his investment.
The body Of ore now in sight In
the Almeda is sufficient to keep II in
operation many years, the great vol
ume OF mineral that is now blocked
out having excited the wonder Of ev-
cry mining man who ever visited II.
Under Mr.. Burley's management the
smelter on the property will be run,
and shipments of matte will be made
regularly.
