THE GULLIBLE STILL BITE.

Applications for purchase OF the
contested o. & G. lands, lately order
ed cancelled and forfeited " the
government by Judge Wolyerton, at
Portland, continue to pour into the
county clerks office for registration
Notwithstanding the continued warn
lngs that have been given by land Of
fee officials and newspapers. Thurs-
day IA applications for purchase OF
these lands in Josephine county
were filed; Tuesday the number was
Is; one day last week 65 of the gull
llble applied.
An organized effort to cover these
lands with applications, at so much
per application, is of course re-
sponsible for this activity at the pres
ent time, and the effort is now ulsect-
ed more in eastern states anu IN
Canadian points than in the west
where the public is more in touch
with the course of events. The re-
cent batch of 65 came from Mon
treal and on the list were the names
of many women, probably scnvul-
teachers. clerks, stenographers, ana
others who see the opportunity per-
haps of getting valuable lands al
small part of their value The chief
actor in this game, formerly von-
nected with the administration OF
the public lands, said when in Grants
Pass the other day that the people
OF the east are so land crazy tnat
they will take a chance on any kind
OF a land proposition at $3.50 per
acre" Acting on this land craze,
this man and his agents comb the
east, after having raked the west
during the past ten years, 10 separ-
ate these greedy ones from their
dollars on the chance that the land .
department has said was no chance
at all. These lands have been de-
clared forfeited to the government.

A NEW INDUSTRIAL ERA.

The Grants Pass district has made
wonderful advance toward mater
iol prosperity this season 1t has
gone forward in an industrial way
that will add much to the welfare OF
the community and that will make
railroads come seeking out trade. II
is only through intensive farming.
through dairying, poultry raising.
small fruit culture and kindred
branches OF soil tillage that the coun-
try can be made to yield its most
adequate returns, and In all OF these
there has been a new and complete
awakening,
Those who thought that values
were taken from the soil by doub-
ling, and then doubling again, the
price at which our acres we're sold to

those attracted by lurid pictures
found that the soil had ceased to re-
spond TO this sort of tillage, and the
reaction that has set In is the ma
tural and the healthful one. To stand
high values, these lands must be
made productive of themselves, and
they must produce crops that will
add TO the wealth of the community.
The action OF the bankers assembled
in Portland during the week In ad-
yocating a saner policy in the valua-
tion Of lands, and in basing that
value upon the returns that can
come from the soil, should be en-
dorsed by every resident OF the west.
1t is toward this policy that the peo-
pie of this portion of the Rogue val
ley are now working, and through 1t
a permanent prosperity will surely
come. ~ IT,
This new era is seen in the car
loads Of cattle to stock the dairies
that are now arriving, and the build
Ing of creameries to coin into dol
lars the cream which they produce
from the luxuriant fields OF alfalfa.
1t is seen in the cannery that makes
a market for the surplus fruit and
vegetables, and that will warrant ex-
tensive paintings of small fruits and
berries 1t is seen in the organiza-
ton and successful operation Of the
poultry association that makes of the
poultry industry a substantial and a
dignified business.
Railroads are necessary to the
commerce Of the community, saw
mills will follow them In converting
the timber into wealth, and the
mines Will become shippers with the
laying Of the ties and the rails, but
he real prosperity OF the country
Will come in the development OF
.hese features that at first glance ap-
'ear to be Of minor Importance. The
iollar that is taken from the soil is
worth the full one hundred cents.

by the chemistry department OF the
State College not long ago. and we're
answered by Dean Elton Fulmer, as
follows:
"Ptomaine is a peculiar class Of
poisons which develop from organic
matter. Their chemistry is not very
clearly defined. Development takes
place by "micro-organisms" in decay
ing organic matter particularly that
containing protein. 1t would be i'm
possible for the layman to detect 1t.
The thing which is particularly favor
able TO It is the presence of the proper
micro-organisms, and it is pretty hard
to tell what governs that. Quoting
from Hollands Medical Chemistry:
"'To produce them is required
certain favorable combination of
special micro-organisms, protein, air,
and temperature. They are unstable,
changing in a short time through
many stages. In most cases, decom-
position has not gone far enough to
make the food offensive. The to1-
lefty may be great when there is no
taint perceptible to smell or taste"
ANY form of decaying organic
matter whether canned or not may de-
velop 1t. l have known cases from
cold storage fish. Quoting further
from the same author:
" These make their onset soon af-
ter eating the poisoned food. There
are in most cases marked thirst, sali-
walton, nausea, vomiting, abdominal
pain, diarrhoea, cramps in the legs,
chills, feeble pulse. dilated pupils,
drowsiness or delirium, numbness.

MOULDING PUBLIC SENTIMENT

President Wilson undoubtedly
started something when he went af-
ter the 'insidious lobby" He finds
the lobby of the specific variety en-
trenched in all departments, and
some of his own appointees seem to
know the kind and to treat it with
consideration. Even member of
his cabinet is not above exerting an
influence that is insidious and that
Is as effective as though brought to
bear by the most accomplished lob
byist at the seat of government The
land Offices have recently been noti-
fed that land notices should be pub
lished in those publications that are
friendly to the administration.
OF course that is not intended to un-
duly influence any publication, but
might it not come within the defnl-
tion of the word that the president
has applied to the lobby? The lobby
probe should reach out after Secre-
tary Lane.

upon the validity of the decision.
Should the decision hold, the Unit
ed States will then have to determine
what method to follow in distriput-
ing the lands to the people, ous II
has already been said that the appn-
cant who paid these private agents
for the application to purchase. Will
have no rights over the rest of the
people in the final distribution of
T the lands 1t is easy to see, however.
that these locators have gold mine
in the o. & c. land game. These
people living thousands of miles
from the lands, knowing little of the
character of the west in which they
are located, are easily deceived in
their own minds as to the exact
status of the case. They know Inat
in the Rogue valley are some Of the
best lands in the world, lands valued
at and worth their thousands per
acre. But they have not been told
that there are also mountainous luucs
of no great value and that the o. e
c. holdings include much Of the lat
ter kind. These people are paying
their hundred or two hundred dol
lars for the mere application to
purchase, taking the gamblers
chance on getting something out Of
it.
Some headway is being mace in
the final adjustment of the o. 4 c.
case. The supersedeas bond OF the
Southern Pacific railroad in the case
wherein the land grant was forfeit
ed, was fixed in court at Portland
Wednesday at 100000.

SAVE SAMPLES OF GRAIN AND
GRASSES.

Oregon should be able to make an
excellent showing in the eastern land
shows this season, as the state lmmi-
grafton commission, which has head
quarters in Portland has made an
early start in collecting the exhibit
and some weeks ago sent notice
throughout all the producing dis
tricts to make collections of products
and preserve them for later use.
There is no expense attached to the
making OF these exhibits except that
of collection, as the railroads Will
transport them free OF charge, and
they will be assembled in the larger
exhibit of the state. and transported
and exhibited throughout the east
without expense to the locality.
Southern Oregon should be espec-
tally well represented this season.
The spring has been an exceptionally
good one for the growth of vegeta-
tion, and sample sheaves OF grain and
grasses should be saved now for the
fall fairs.

THE PEOPLES CELEBRATION

In connection with the coming
Fourth of July celebration, which
promises to eclipse anything of the
kind ever before attempted in south
ern Oregon, the people Of Grants
Pass should bear in mind that they
are simply acting as hosts, and that
they should put forth every effort
to make their guests feel at home
and to thoroughly enjoy the occa-
sion. Make the two days such that
all who attend will talk about them
in years to come.
Hospitality should be the first
consideration. Commercialism has
spoiled too many celebrations of the
great national holiday in the past,
the real heart of the occasion being
overlooked in the grasping for the
dollar This celebration is broader
than a mere municipal affair. 1t is
for Josephine county and for all Of
southern Oregon. The citizens Of
Grants Pass are the entertainers and
the thousands of visitors are coming
10 be entertained. The spirit OF
'ommercialism is being forgotten for
The moment, and Grants Pass will
keep open house. The man with the
Dig init must keep in the back
yround.

MORE BUSINESS THAN CAPITAL

MORE BUSINESS THAN CAPITAL.
The business of the country is so
great that available capital in the
country is inadequate to meet the
demands of legitimate industry, ac-
cording to J. Pierpont Morgan, head
of the great banking house founded
by his father. Morgan appeared be-
fore the state public service commits
sion, at a hearing to consider the ap-
plication of the New York Central
railroad for permission to execute
certain mortgages in connection with
that line with the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern railroad Asked
concerning financial conditions Nor
gan said;
THE trouble is that the call for
capital is greater than the available
amount. ! mean that the legitimate
needs OF business are greater than
the available capital to meet them,
and that therefore money on demand
is higher than It has been in other
times"

SOUTHERN oREGoN's BEST.

At an adjourned session of the
city council held Monday night, the
various sums that will 'come from
concessions on the 4th and 5th of
July during the great celebration to
be held in Grants Pass we're given to
the celebration fund, thus making
available several hundred dollars for
the providing of attractions for
those days.
There never was a celebration in
which all the people of the county
Joined with a greater singleness of
purpose than this one. First the bus
mess houses made most liberal sub
scriptions, then individuals added to
the lists by hundreds OF minor
pledges that in the aggregate swelled
the general fund in magnificent
shape, and now both county and city
join in boosting the big show. There
are no knockers. IL is everybody's
celebration and you'll miss some
thing if you are not here.
The committees are thus provided
with ample money to meet all just
demands that will be made upon
them, and while they are using care
and economy in disbursing the cash,
there will be no stlnting. 1t will be
southern Oregon's best and greatest
celebration.

D. B. Townsend, special assistant
attorney general, who has been vro-
scouting the case in behalf Of the
government for the past four years,
asked that the bond of the company
be placed at 100000. The appeal
he said, was simply delaying rinal
settlement of the case, and the value
Of the land involved and the import
ance OF the case was such, said
Townsend, that any smaller pond
would not be enough.

THE RAILROAD TO THE COAST.


The report that the Southern Pa
cific is to become active in building
In southern and western Oregon,
with the rumors OF connecting roads
built by that company to Grants Pass,
10 interesting from several angles.
First, 1t is especially interesting II
the announcement is backed up with
authority and II the work Is to pro-
gress, but 1t is also interesting IL It
comes TO stall of other development,
this latter contingency being one
seen by some OF the keen sighted.
II has been many times predicted
that when the building OF the Grants
PassCrescent City railroad became
an assured fact, or when develop
ments reached point where the
road seems near success, that the
road whose "neld" was being invad-
ed would come forth with just such
an announcement as the present one.
Crescent City is now at work to meet
certain financial conditions that have
been made regarding the building Of
the line from this city. II her people
could be made to believe that the s.
p. was going to build without delay,
might 1t not make ii harder for the
citizens to raise the bonus, and may
hap keep the intruder out? And II
Grants Pass were assured" that the
road was coming here from Gold
Beach or from Crescent City through
the effort OF the Southern Pacific,
might not obstacles be encountered
by the promoters Of the Grants Pass
Crescent City line?
The present announcements OF the
s. p. may be backed by the inten-
tions OF the officials OF the company,
and II is more than likely that the
road following the coast will some
day be constructed. But Grants Pass
should not cease In her efforts to se-
cure the immediate building OF the
line to Crescent City, for the surest
thing in the present railroad situa-
tion is that her effort is to succeed,
and the best evidence Of approaching
success is the present activity of the
Southern Pacific.
Whenever the S, p. company saw
danger that It's field" was to be
taken over by others. It was bound
to protect itself, hence its present
announcement But there is room
enough for all. The building of the
s. p to Gold Beach or to any other
point ON the coast will be appauded.
Grants Pass, in common with all of
southern Oregon viii welcome the de-
veopment OF this territory that has
been bottled up for so many years.
However it was only few weeks
ago that the chief authority of the
Southern Pacific told Grants Pass
through her mayor that the road had
no present plan for the building Of
a line from here.
So let us redouble our efforts for
the new line to Crescent City. and /
let Crescent City beware Of sugar
coated bogey men,
