MOVIES" OF GRANTS
PASS SCENES HERE.

The films taken last fall by Pho
tographer Webster, for the Southern
Pacific company, have been received
by President Kroh of the CONNER
cial club. and were shown to few
of the business men on the moving
picture machine at the Bijou thea
ter today, and later arrangements
will be made for exhibiting them on
a number of evenings when the gen.
eral public will have the opportun-
ity of seeing them.
Six subjects are shown, and each
one is a perfect film. The street
scene taken during the progress of
the Tokay festival last October is
especially good, and the fitting au-
tos and hurrying people give the ap-
pearance Of city even more preten-
tious than Grants Pass. Local peo-
pie and their grape-decorated autos
are easily recognized, and the Pho
tographer caught the magnificent
Sixth street in all of its beauty. The
apple picking picture taken at the
Eismann orchard and the scene In
the Tokay vineyard are each excel
lent portrayals Of the Rogue fruit
industry. There are also films TAX
en- at the Wheeler and the Slime
baugh chicken ranches and one of
road work in progress by the county
in making the macadam highway on
the Crescent City road. The last
picture shown is that of Rogue river,
taken from the steel bridge, with
many boats in the water near the
city park.

KANSAS CITY SYNDICATE BUYS
14O7 ACRES.
CUT INTO S ACRE TRACTS
Property Is Portion of Rogue River
Orchard Tracts, Lying Between
Grants Pass and Merlin.

A syndicate OF Kansas City peo-
pie, headed by j, II. Burney. has Just
closed deal with the Rogue River
Orchard Co., proprletors of the Coun-
try Club Orchard tracts lying be-
tween Grants Pass and Merlin, for
1907 acres of the property in one
body which it proposes to develop as
poultry farms.
About 400 acres of the property
which lies at the south end of the
company holdings, and only about
three miles from Grants Pass, are
now in pears, the balance being un-
developed The plan OF the new
company is to cut the property up
into five acre tracts to be devoted to
fruit and poultry, the uncleared por-
tion to be left in the brush and to
be given over to poultry growing on
the Petaluma plan. The fowls will
be given the run of the tract, the
underground protecting them from
the sun and from hawks. Other OF
the tracts that are already cleared
will produce the feed for the poultry
the individual poultrymen to special
ize in egg production and get the
green feed from the growers on the
Grouse creek bottom lands.
II is said that already the promot-
ers of the plan in Kansas City have
made arrangements for the 'estab-
fishing of poultry yards on the tracts,
and that Merlin will soon blossom
out as second Petaluma.

DIR. WHITE TALKS
OF FARM SANITATION.

DIR. Calvin S. Whites popular lee
ture on "a View of Rural Life" add
ed some strong reminders to the
needs for better sanitation In the
homes and schools of the rural dis
tricts, and especially for improved
conditions for the farmers wife, to
whom the modern facilities for
house work is the last to come. Ac-
cording to DR.. White there will be
no great rush to get back to the
soil' until there has come a great
change in the home life and the so
cial life Of the farming class. In his
effort to emphasize the need of turn
Ing more of our young men In the d.
rection Of the farm, he pointed to the
fact that the legal and medical pro-
fessions are badly oyercrowded In
fact, the state of Oregon would be
better of II there were only one-half
as many doctors and one-fourth as
many lawyers. But OF practical, edu-
Gated farmers there can be no over
production.

COMMERCIAL FISHING
WILL BEGIN JUNE q

The commercial fishermen OF the
city are preparing for the sixty days
of open season which will commence
on the Srd day of June. in accord
with the law passed at the last ses-
sion of the state legislature.
The interests of the fishermen To-
cally are in charge of the officers Of
the fshermen's union, of which Or
ganization Tap Cole is president, and
II. b. Gething secretary and man
ager. A fish warehouse 12x12 feet
in the clear, with cement floor. is to
be erected on ground which thu
union has leased from the city Of
Grants Pass, the site being nine
tenths OF an acre on the edge OF the
city dump ground. A three-yesr
lease is taken on the property. and
the union agrees to keep the prem
lses In a sanitary and wholesome
condition at all times.
Ten boats belonging to members
OF the union are now ready to COM
mence fishing with the opening of
the season. Each boat will drift with
Its nets from point a mile below tho
steel bridge, where the fishing is to
commence, to the mouth of the
Jump-of-Joe creek, the down stream
limit, where the nets must be raised.
This fishing is done at night, and
wagons meet the boats at the lower
end OF the fishing water, and bring
back boats, fishermen and catch. The
fishing water covers a distance OF
about fifteen miles.
All members of the fishermen's
union will take the salmon caught
during the night to the concrete
warehouse on the banks OF the
Rogue, and here the royal chinooks
will be prepared for shipment. They
Will also be offered for sale to any
one who wishes to purchase them at
the price being paid by the Portland
market, which usually ranges
around seven or eight cents per
pound. No fish will be cut up at
the warehouse, but whole fish will be
sold at the ruling price. All not sold
locally will then be shipped to the
market that is making the best re-
turns, the bulk probably going to
Portland, although in past years
when fishing was permitted ship
ments were made to many points to
the south.
In other years when the fishing
season was longer and more OF the
stream was open to the gill netters,
thirty boats operated on the river.
This year the number will not exceed
half of that number as only two or
three that are outside the union are
expected to operate.

PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILS
DISPLAY HANDWORK.

The large number of visitors who
thronged the rooms of the high
school on Tuesday afternoon were
we'll repaid as was evidenced by the
commendatory remarks heard on all
sides as to the excellency of the work
done by the pupils.
On the first floor, occupying two
rooms was the exhibit of the manual
training department which did re-
marhable credit TO instructor and
pupils. This exhibit consisted of
about fifty large pieces and several
small ones, all made this year by
twenty-eight of the high school boys
and some from the 7th and Sth
grades.
The materials used in the furni-
ture are the native woods, fir, cedar
and some eastern oak Among the
many useful articles were seen
chairs, tables, davenports, serving
tables, hall trees, writing desks,
lamps, cedar chests and many others.
One piece that deserves especial
mention is library table made for
the Good Samaritan hospital, the
best piece of work made by the stu
dents this year.
On the second floor was displayed
the work in domestic science. The
work in plain sewing and embroidery
would do credit to much older ladies
and real art was exhibited in the
darning and patching done by the
girls of the grades. Many little in
dividual touches were shown in the
dainty summer dresses and lingerie
pieces. 1t was busy day in the
kitchen and a pleasant place as to
smell and sight. Our great grand
mothers might arch their eyebrows
or gasp in amazement at some of the
customs of the modern girl, but she
must acknowledge her skill in cook
ing and would have gazed in pleas
ure at the beautiful display of bread,
rolls, doughnuts, cookies, pies and
beautifully iced cakes that were on
exhibition, also the collection of can
ned fruit, pickles and jellies.
Misses Dora Gebers, Eva Coffinberry
and Genevieve McCracken were busy
making and baking dainty baking
powder biscuits which were served
warm to the guests. In the dining
room was a table perfectly set as
model, and from a serving table Miss
Fern Cousino and Helen Wither-
spoon served fruit punch and waters.
Both teacher and pupils must have
felt the full appreciation of their
work could they have heard the SEN
timent expressed by the many moth
ers present as to their thankfulness
that their daughters we're being
taught in such an efficient manner
these very useful arts.

FIRE DESTROYS PIONEER BUT
TER FACTORY OF DISTRICT.
NO INSURANCE ON BUILDING
Oglesby's Hall and Store, and Vacant
Dwelling at Wilderyille, Also
Go Up i'm Flames.

The Illinois Valley creamery, To-
Gated on Althouse about two and
one-half miles east of Holland. was
burned to the ground, together with
the fine McVay residence adjoining,
during Tuesday night, both struc-
lures being total losses, with practi-
cally nothing saved of the contents.
The fire started from the defective
hue in a room at the rear of the
creamery. The MacVays were IN
Grants Pass attending court, and a
couple was left in charge of the
property as caretakers. Tuesday af-
ternoon a hundred little chicks
Matched in an incubator, and to keep
them warm during the night fire was
started in a stove in the rear room
OF the creamery building, and It is
from this that the fire started. The
chicks were cremated in the confla-
grafton None of the machinery was
saved from the creamery, and a
stock of goods that occupied store
in the front of the building was also
a total loss.
The flames were communicated to
the residence few feet away from
the creamery, and that was totally
destroyed, only the piano and few
other articles being saved. There
was no insurance on any of the
property destroyed.
The Illinois Valley creamery was
the Oldest of the creameries built in
this district, having been in opera
ton at least nine or ten years.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The
California-Japanese situation will be
considered by the cabinet tomorrow
when, on Secretary Bryan's return
from New York, Governor Johnson 8
answer to the national administra-
tion's request for delay in his signing
the anti-alien land bill will be taken
up.
The state department officials to-
day are very reticent on the Califor-
mia matter, but intimate that they
will make no move until Governor
Johnson signs the bill to which Jap
an objects. After his signature It is
expected that Japan will file a new
protest reiterating its treaty rights
and notifying the federal govern
ment that enforcement Of the Cali
.ornia law will be considered an in
fringement on those rights.
The administration here is watch
ing events in Toxic closely and al
ready has urged the new ambassador
to Japan, George Guthrie, that he
must leave for his post at the earliest
possible moment.

a semi-official and inspired statement
which was issued here today through
the foreign office. It said that nego-

crossing satisfactorily"
The conservative forces of Japan
do not expect any serious trouble as
a result Of the passage Of the Cali

ignoring the anti-American agitation
for which they blame irresponsible
persons whose influence is not great.
