DAIRYlNG PROGRESSES
In DEER CREEK COUNTRY

Fl. E. Christy, one OF the progress
sive farmers OF the Deer Creek coun-
try, was in the city Thursday. Mr..
Christy says that the farmers of his
locality are enthusiastic over the
prospects for the dairy business, and
can see the great importance OF the
location of the big creamery in
Grants Pass and the daily cream
routes to be run to all the various
districts OF the country. He says
that he will put ten dairy cows on
his own ranch at once, and that 9TH
ers will add cattle as fast as they
can prepare for them.
Deer Creek is a big valley and
will support many hundreds Of
cows" said Mr.. Chrlsty, "and this
opportunity offered by Grants Pass
for the extending of the dairy inter-
ests VIII be grasped by our people.
Mr.. Chrlsty has fine farm OF 200
acres of creek bottom land, and in
stalled last year a six-inch centrifu-
gal pump, power for It's operation
being supplied by 40-horse power
engine and boiler.
The Deer Creek grange is espec-
tally prosperous, according to Mr.
Christy, and nearly all of the farm
ers in the vicinity are members, and
those not now members will become
so later. The grange has It's own
hall, a 4Ox9O structure, completed
last year.

and over the Jacksonville hill to the
historic old capital Of Jackson coun-
ty, later going to Ashland and home
through Medford, the days trip reg
lstering 1O3 miles
The trip was delightful, but simp-
ly to show that even the 18th we'd
ding anniversary is pursued by the
hoodoo OF the unlucky number, the
Buick received its first puncture on
the trip. a screw picked up on the
Jacksonville hill punching five sep
arate holes through the inner tube
before It was discovered or a fat tire

versary of the birth OF our Uncle
Samuel is now positively assured,
and the committees are appointed
and are getting busy spreading the
news of the coming fare OF patriot
ism. The special train that goes to

an advertiser for the celebration
here than an excursion, great stream
ers on the cars announcing the
event, while each excursionist Ia
properly labeled.
The stellar attraction for the two
days will be the aviation meet, Q
contract having been practically
closed with one of the Curtlss avia-

Diego countries. This man will be
here within a few days to complete

COMMERCIAL FISHING ON ROGUE
COMMENCED TUESDAY.
SALMON BRINGS FAIR PRICE
Snags in Stream and High Water In
terfere With Nets And Many
Are Being Badly Damaged.

The first three boats to report
Tuesday morning at the warehouse
of the local fishermen's union, where
the members of the organization
bring their nights catch, turned in
1900 pounds of fat and glistening
chinooks as the toll collected since
midnight from the Rogue river.
With the other boats yet to report it
was expected that not less than six
tons would be the catch of the first
drift of the nets.
The season for commercial fishing
opened at midnight Monday night,
and the fishermen who had been
anxiously awaiting the stroke of the
hour cast off their nets and started
on the drift down stream to meet
the royal chinooks on their way up
from the sea. 1t Is not known defin-
itely how many boats started out,
but it is thought that at least ten
we're on the river soon after the new
day and the law had been ushered
in. Twelve boats are registered in
the fishermen's union, and Others are
expected to join in the game.
The river is now too high for the
most successful fishing, and owing
to the fact that 1t has been several
years since nets we're allowed In the
stream there are many obstructions
that will have to be removed before
fishing is at it's best. Many of the
nets were in serious trouble from
these distractions, and many fish
we're lost through them. Owing tc
the lateness of the start on the first
night. and trouble from the obstruc'
tions in the river, some Of the boats
only fished as far as the Applegate
river. The down river limit Is the
mouth of Jump-Off-Joe creek.
The fish caught by the union boats
are all turned in at the warehouse
recently built, Manager Gething be-
ing in charge and arranging for the
sale and shipment of the catch. Al
present there is a lively demand from
Portland for the fish, the market to-
day being 7 IL cents per pound
This makes the value of the catch o.
the first three boats to report a to-
tai of $3.50, and if the anticipated
catch of three tons is brought in, the
total value for the day will be $3.50
The nets used are of 8 1-2 incl
mesh, and are from 200 to 300 fee
in length. Nets of less mesh thar
this will be confscated by the fist
wardens, and the men using then
will be prosecuted. This mesh IL
supposed to allow all steelheads anC
other trout to pass through.

contract for the construction of the
new steel bridge to be erected by
Josephine county over the West Fork

sion Of the court. Three bids were

this, Schell & Schell offering to do
the work in oil macadam according to
specifications at $1.1S ga per lineal

MARBLE HALLS OF OREGON SEEN
BY MANY VISITORS.
ENTHUSIASM OVER WONDER
All Details For Outing of Mountain
Climbers Perfectly Arranged,
and City Complimented.

The Mazamas arrived in Grants
Pass Sunday afternoon, on the home
ward trip, tired but an enthusias-
tically happy bunch after the three
days spent in the outing to the
Marble caves. The autos sent out
from town found the advance guard
of the Mazamas already down the
mountain, having made the eight
mile hike over the trail early in the
day, and they commenced 70 arrive
soon after the noon hour. At Stew
ems lunch was served before the re-
turn trip through the courtesy of the
Grants Pass Commercial club. The
forty cars made the run in without
mishap other than few punctures
and blow-outs, apd on arrival here
the travel-stained cutters removed the
evidences of the days in the noun
tains, and partook of the excellent
dinner prepared for them at hotels,
or dined with friends throughout the
city, the special train departing at
$50 o'clock.
Camp at the Meadows.
Arriving at camp at the Meadows
Friday afternoon, the Mazama crowd
found that the advance had prepared
a hearty and bountiful meal for
them, and that and the preparation of
camp occupied what was left OF the
day. Saturday morning the two
miles to the cave entrance were
walked and the parties were ready
to enter the caves at eight o'clock.
Six guides were ready to act as pilots,
and the visitors were divided into
squads of about twenty each. Indi-
vidual members were given numbers
and during the progress through the
underground mazes the roll was
called occasionally that none might
be lost out by accident in the laby-
rinth of passages. The upper caves
were first entered and these occupied
attention till past noon In the af-
ternoon the parties were taken
through the lower cave, nearly two
hours being spent there. Not an ac-
cident occurred within the caves, and
the wondrous formations wrought by
nature excited continual wonder and
amazement. 1t was impossible in a
single day to go through all the cham
bers and Railways, and in fact parts
have never yet been explored, but
more than a mile of the cavern s
depths we're traversed, one party who
was trying to keep tab on distances
estimated it at $500 feet Numer-
Gus side chambers were peered into,
and the delicate tracery of limestone
deposits made pictures never to be
