twentieth century has brought US
face to face with the fact that many
Of our resources are In danger Of ex-
haustion, therefore, the tnougnt OF
today is strongly directed not mere
ly towards efficiency in securing raw
resources from the soil, but also ef-
ficiency in manufacturing ana IN
marketing both at home and abroad.
1t is this effort towards efficiency
that accounts for the rapid manu-
featuring development Of the past
few years and the increasing export
trade. The maintenance OF such ef-
ficiency is TO be secured only by re-
cruiting from the younger elements,
those who are prepared for their life
work. This gives the reason for the
present widespread and persistent
agitation In favor OF vocational edu-
cation. We can no longer depeni
upon the mere accident OF immigra-
tlon, or OF resources easily utilized.
The leadership which the United
States should expect among the ma
tlons Of the earth because Of its ma
tural advantages is to depend not
upon accident but upon intention.
The aim of education must be to pre-
pare each child for self-support and
thus make every school Of the ma
tion a place for life preparation. This
is the idea underlying the Page Bill
relative to federal attention to prac-
tical education of children, and 1t is
also the underlying idea of every vo-
cational attempt that is being made
throughout the country.

that time. The movement for the
planting OF elk in this county has
gained considerable headway, and
the application for the antlered mon

sentation to the proper authorities at
that time. 1t is also proposed to
take definite action toward assisting
the authorities in every way possible
In the complete enforcement Of the
laws regarding the taking Of fish
from Rogue river. II is urged that

but all others who are interested in
the cause, be present

yain-glorious noise has been made
of the lower valley, and there are
many who do not associate the
Rogue valley directly with the Rogue
river from which it gets its name.
Not discrediting any portion of this
great basin, the water she l OF the
Rogue, an empire of itself in the ex-
cellence, the extent and the magni-
tude of its resources, the necessity
is seen nevertheless of claiming
what is Justly due for Grants Pass
the only city of commercial import
ance on the banks of the Rogue.
The river itself is an asset that is
far from appreciated. Aside from
its scenic beauty, and its value in
adding to the pleasures of life, the
river must become the great COM
mercial factor in the upbuilding oil
the community. It must yield its
water to the irrigation of the valley,
and few communities so fortunately
situated would have rested through
sixty years OF settlement without
having brought soil and water to-
gether. But this neglect can be
traced largely to the fact that the
district is one OF varied industry.
Had It been necessary for 1t to de-
pend upon the agricultural and hor-
ticultural resources alone, irrigation
would have been accomplished long
ago, but it was long considered a
mining district, agriculture was a
neglected line of activity. Now that
the superiority Of the valley in fruit
growing, dalrying and allied lines of
endeavor is demonstrated, irrigation
is to follow, and with irrigation, the
greater prosperity of the community.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.

Only three countries in the world,
China with a population OF $50, ,0O0,-
900, India with 295, 100000, and
Russia with 100000 have a
greater population than the Unit ed
States. The last estimate OF the
treasury places the population OF the
United States at $4,000, 900, says the
Nations Business.

THE ANNUAL ROSE FESTIVAL.


Committees from the Ladies Aux
lllary of the Commercial club are
now at work outlining the program
for the annual rose festival. 1t is
proposed that the big event this
year be along lines different than pre-
vIous festivals, and a tentative pro-
gram has been outlined from whicl
the parade feature Of decorated au-
tomobiles is beautiful for the mo-
ment, but a great amount of labor is
involved for the brief half hour of its
life. This year 1t has been proposed
that the energy that is usually given
to this decorative feature, go to make
a more lasting exhibition of the
queen of flowers, and that banquet
follow at which speeches by honored
guests will add to the interest. After
the exhibition and the feasting and
the speaking, visitors and others are
to be given a sightseeing tour over
the town, local autos being provided
and in the little central parks bowers
of roses are to add to the beauty, and
the children Of the city will stage in
the open a cantata or spectacular ex-
hibition. This program, II finally
adopted, would seem to add more to
the festival of the roses than the
usual exhibition and parade.
For the evening the usual ball and
musical concert will be provided.
Prizes will be offered in the various
classes of roses, and the display of
blossoms entered in the competition
will be larger than on previous years
as a great many citizens have been
making paintings with the show in
view
Another feature, and one that will
add more of interest and value to the
occasion than any other feature, is
the proposed shower of souvenir
rose festival postal cards. These
will be especially prepared cards
with pictures of real Grants Pass
roses, suitably inscribed, to be mail
ed by the thousands to friends
throughout all parts Of the country.
While the date has not yet been
definitely decided upon, the festival
will undoubtedly be held at about
the same date as last year, on June
7th. The date will be determined
largely by the intervening weather,
but with Old Sol doing duty as at
present, the roses should be at their
best by that time.

THE MINERAL EXHIBIT.

1t behooyes Josephine county to
make her exhibit at the meeting OF
the Mining Congress, TO be held in
Redding, Cal, May 21-24, as COM
plete and comprehensive as possible
Already this county has gained the
reputation OF having the greatest de-
posits Of mineral In the west, and the
exhibits made at Spokane, Yreka, and
other places where mining men have
met in convention, have sustained
the reputation, and have been the
direct means OF bringing many In
vestors into the territory.
To be exhibited at the Reddlng
congress 1t will be necessary to have
the ores sent within few days, but
the old display should be augmented
by as many new samples as possible.
New strikes are being made here
continually and few fresh ores
added to the old will let people
know that this is a live mining dis
trict that has the values in the
ground.
The secretary Of the congress, in
writing to President Herzinger from
Reddlng under the date OF May 2,
says; I'VE are informed that your
county is far ahead of California
counties In the extensiveness OF yolr
exhibit, and II you bring the display
that l understand that you had In
Yreka, our big mining counties will
have to move with increased energy
70 surpass your exhibit. It is there
fore in a sense a matter of pride with
uG to know what you are going to
ship 80 we can be In some measure
prepared to meet the challenge Of
Josephine county's magnificent dis
play"
Every mining man who has some
thing good in sight In his prospect
or his mine, should bring in a sample
and have 1t sent to Redding. This
county Is showing great activity just
now in a mining way, and proper
showing at Redding may interest
Just the man who is needed to supply
the funds to make producers of some
Of the mines that are now lying idle.

"OLD BOS" TO WEAR THE
CROWN.

The trend Of the times, so far as
they effect the Rogue valley, was
demonstrated when a car of Jersey
stock for Ardencraig ranch, on the
Applegate, arrived in Grants Pass
Tuesday.
For the past few years the energy
of the valley has been given over to
horticulture, and dairying, for
which industry the valley is prob
ably as we'll suited as any district in
the west, has been carried on in a
very small way. Now there is an
awakening, however, and the pic
ture of "0ld Bos" will take its right
ful place in the center of the Rogue
coat Of arms. This shipment of
stock to Ardencraig is but the fore
runner Of others, and the year will
show thousand new dairy cattle in
the territory tributary to Grants
Pass. This statement is made ad-
visedly, and Is borne out by the re-
ports from the committees that have
been soliciting for the new Rogue
valley creamery. In all parts of the
valley the land owners are looking
to the cow, and acres are being
planted down to alfalfa to provide
the bovine banquet.
The directors Of the new creamery
are about ready to commence the
building OF the creamery They
have instructed the purchase of milk
cans and routes will be established
at once. Until such time as the To-
cal institution is ready to manufac-
ture butter, this cream will be sent
to some other established creamery,
and then when our creamery is ready
to open It's doors, II will have its
cream routes ready to turn in their
golden stream

PUBLISH RESULTS OF SURVEY

The Oregon farmer, a summary
of a preliminary agricultural sur
vey," is the title of a state booklet
which has just been sent to press by
the Oregon Statistical Bureau. The
various manuscripts which compose
this publication were completed
Monday and forwarded to Portland
where C. C. Chapman, state immigra-
tion agent, will look after the
printing. twenty-five thousand cop
les will be printed and it is expected
to have these ready for distribution
by the middle of June.
Nearly a year ago the Statistical
Bureau, assisted by an advisory COM
mittee, composed Of the boards of
the various departments of the col
lege undertook to carry on an inves-
tigation. Last summer a number of
advanced students and members of
the faculty, working under the direc-
tions of the Statistical Bureau visit
ed and secured statistical reports
from 1897 farms which represent
practically every section Of the en-
tire state. These reports form the
basis for a booklet which unques-
tionably will be one of the most
valuable sources Of information to
prospective settlers Of any publica-
ton ever issued in the state. Since
the close of college last June the
force of the Statistical Bureau, un-
der the direction of Dean ]. A. Bex-
ell and Assistant Statistician E. B.
Lemon, and the members of the ad-
visory committee have been constant
+ ly at work gathering and preparing
for publication the immense amount
of data the booklet will contain.
The extended investigation car
ried on represents not only agricul-
tural problems but deals with every
phase of rural life. Social and edu-
catlonal conditions receive consider
able attention. Besides the statis-
tical data the report will contain
fourteen leading articles by different
authors dealing with the phase Of
the work in which each was espec-
Tally interested. Furthermore all Of
this information is reliable. It is
based on facts; no more, no less.

Unfortunately for its complete ad.

Grants Pass is more or less hidden
from the casual traveller, and its ex-

unless they are deliberately hunted

and its possibilities OF further de-

In connection with the fight upon

a Portland lawyer, the following fig
ures are OF interest as being supplied
by the highest statistical authority,

The report shows that the Oregon
idea, that is, keeping the university
and agricultural college separate and
specializing their work, is the policy
followed by most states. Twenty
two have separated institutions and
eighteen consolidated. Only eight
states fail to furnish both kinds Of in

are only three states that do not fur
