JORDAN GULCH PLACER
NINE is PURCHASED

Messrs. Geo. Speake and ]. NJ.
former residents of Pa
louise, Wash, were in the city We'd
nesday from the Grave creek dis
trict, where they have just closed
a deal for the purchase of the Jordan
Gulch placer mining property from
Frank Stevenson. This property
comprises 119 acres, including some
rich placer ground as we'll as agri-
cultural acreage, and will be devel-
oped by the new owners. There is
already upon the property much pip
ing and a hydraulic giant" and
some valuable finds have been made
upon it, Mr.. Stevenson having found
a nugget at one time that weighed
IL pounds.
The new corners from eastern
Washington are greatly pleased with
conditions in the Rogue valley, es-
pecially with climatic conditions.

LAST OF APPLE AND
GRAPE CROP is SHIPPED

The apple crop of the valley is now
all in the warehouse, and in another
week will practically all have been
shipped out of the country. Seven
cars have left the local warehouse
during the past week, and another
one is loaded awaiting orders, and
two more are in the house ready to
be loaded out the first of the week.
There are all told only about fifteen
carloads yet held in the Grants Pass
district, these being largely of the
Ben Davis and Winesap varieties.
The Newtowns were all shipped two
weeks ago, and only one or two cars
at the most of Spitzenbergs remain.
The market has been little slower
the past week than previously, but
the association has had no trouble
in placing the fruit at good prices.
The bulk of the local shipments are
still being made to the south, San
Francisco now taking good many.
The local association has made ship
ments of apples from Riddle, in the
UmpQua valley, having been able to
sell more than the local supply could
accommodate.
The grape season is also drawing
to close, and the most of the vine
yards are now through picking. The
grapes are showing a stronger mar
ket, and now sell at s1.25 per crate,
fob. Grapes have sold we'll all the
season, the valleys to the north hav-
ing taken all the local output.

FINE CoCKEREL ARRIVES
FROM NEW YORK CITY

U. l.. Epson has Just received from
a leading New York breeder a hand
some White orpington cockerel to
add to his already long list of beau
ties. The bird cost $40, and will un-
doubtedly be heard from in the fu-
ture shows in this district. Mr.. Up
son is also to receive a Barred Rock
cockerel from the o. A. c.. one of
the "150 egg strain," developed by
the college.
Poultry matters in this county
have taken on quite an impetus be-
cause of the excellent prices that have
been received the past season, and
especially since the rocketing of the
price in the past few weeks. The
local association Is making substan-
tial shipments to the Portland mar
ket, net returns at present being 4S
cents per dozen. The retail price In
the northern city the past few days
has been Go cents, and the associa-
tion members are considering the ad-
visibility of making shipments In
packages for the retail trade instead
of in cases for wholesale as at pre-
sent.

INSPECTOR Oh DIARIES
INVESTIGATES CREAM SUPPLY

State Dairy Inspector W. b. Dun
can has been in the county during
the past lew days making official in
spection OF the dairies OF this dis
triet, and mas Just completed his
work in the Applegate valley. Thurs
day he visited the Rogue Valley
creamery in this city, and while the
factories themselves do not come
directly under his supervision, he
had many compliments for the local
institution. He says that he notes
great improvement in the methods OF
handling milk and cream upon the
farms and dairies, and that the most
OF the cream that comes to the
creameries now is produced and
handled under the most sanitary
methods. Mr.. Duncans duties take
him to all the producers of cream,
and where proper methods are not
employed he instruets in the method
to be followed. II his directions are
not adhered to in future, prosecu-
ton follows, the state insisting that
food stuffs offered for sale be clean
and wholesome.
The present week will be the best
yet at the Rogue Valley creamery,
the output being heavier than in any
previous week. The first churning
on Monday produced 200 pounds OF
butter, and Fridays churning will
be record breaker. The farmers
in the immediate vicinity of Grants
Pass are now sending In more cream,
and the territory is constantly being
extended. A large amount OF Deer
creek cream is being received tnis
week that has previously gone else
where, and other districts are like
wise increasing their shipments. The
butter is yet all used locally, and
the buyers are showing loyalty t
the home concern by asking for thu
home product. The factory Is pay
ing 33 cents per pound for buttel
fat, price approached by few cream
cries in the west.

MORE CHINESE PHEASANTS
FOR JOSEPHINE COUNTY

Eighteen more pairs of Chinese
pheasants arrived from the state
game farm Wednesday morning for
distribution throughout Josephine
county. These birds are being ship
ped in as fast as the local Game and
Fish Protective Association can ar
range for refugees for them, the pres
ent shipment being equally distrib-
uted ON the farms of II. ID. Norton In
the upper Williams valley; on the
Schmidt farm on Clear creek, and on
the Gilkey and Riggs ranches on
Deer creek, six pairs going to each
refuge. The state sends In these
birds to stock farms wherever the
owner signs an agreement to protect
them and to prohibit hunting within
the prescribed limits.

DWELLER OF THE
"JUNGLES" Is ACCUSED

B. G. Harmon, a dweller of the

Pass Tuesday morning from Wolf
Creek and given preliminary hear
ing before Justice Holman on the
charge of having broken into the
depot at Wolf Creek Saturday night
and stolen therefrom case of con-
densed milk and 15-pound bucket
OF spiced herring consigned to Wolf

ASK CITY TO TAKE
OVER PUBLIC MARKET

The regular weekly meeting of the
"Rogues" was held at the CONNER
cial Club last night and was attend
ed by an even dozen Of the boosters,
who spent an hour or more discuss
ing matters of general improvement,
principally the public market. 1t Is
probable that the public market pro-
position will be taken over by the
city and conducted under the city
government. A committee was ap-
pointed to present the matter at the
next council meeting.
Fred Osborne, the Holland boost
er, appeared before the committee
and told Of the advantages of the IL
linols valley, and made an appeal for
cooperation. Mr. Osborne is a
booster all the way through and his
talk was a pleasant diversion from
the routine Of business.
Joseph Moss made application for
membership and his name was ac-
cepted as a member Of the "Rogues.
