1t has lately developed that a powerful
opposition has set up against the roads.
/ According to the current belief certain
factions of organized labor are COM
bined in opposition. 1t Is by no means
sure, however, that the commissioners
will be moved by biased influence, how
ever strong ii may have been in the
past, or how great force 1t may yet
exercise. The arrogance of labor lead
ers is quite as likely to be an element
of weakness as of strength. The an
ticipated opposition of organizations of
shippers has not materialized and more
help than harm is now looked for in
that special field. The data filed by

CAMPERS HAVE WILD
HONEY ON BILL OF FARE

Hunting bees and cutting bee
trees for their load of the delicious
honey OF the wild bee is one of the
sports that has not been generally
exploited through the Rogue valley,
but nevertheless II contains possibil-
tiles that the initiated know add
greatly to the pleasure OF an outing.
Messrs. o. s. Blanchard and c. A.
Sidler have recently returned from
an outing on Deer creek with their
families. and wild honey was on the
camp menu along with venison and
fish. Two bee trees were found and
cut, from one Of them three gallons
of the most delicious honey being OBJ

and one five-point buck solved the

ASSOCIATION CONTRACTS
BARTLETTS AT $3.50

The Josephine County Growers as
sociation has just negotiated sale
of the Bartlett pears grown by its
members at the excellent price of
$3.50 per box (. o. b. Grants Pass,
the sale to include 5000 boxes or
whatever the output of the orchards
OF the association members will be.
The sale was made to the Pioneer
Fruit Co., through Mr.. McKeaney,
its agent, and shipment of the fruit
will be made to the south.
The Bartletts will commence. ripen-
ing next week, and the growers will
bring their pick to the association
warehouse in the picking boxes,
where 1t will be uniformly packed.
Fruit that is too ripe for packing, or
that is unshipable for other reasons
will go the cannery, where II will
net the owner from $40 to SIS per
ton, much of this latter having been
lost to the grower in the past
This sale is considered highly
satisfactory one to the growers, and
under the arrangements the cash will
be ready for the producer as soon
as the car is loaded.
The outlook for the price for the
apple crop is growing better daily,
the yield in the country at large be-
ing much reduced according to recent
estimates. No local contracts have
been made, and probably none will
be made while the market shows its
present tendency to improve. The
local crop is good. and the quality
promises to be as good as any year
in the history OF Rogue river fruit
culture.
Shipment of peaches on the con-
tract made week ago will also

WEATHER OBSERVER PADDOCK
TELLS OF July WEATHER,

The climatic conditions during
July, 1913. were a continual sur
prise to all thoroughly acquainted
with the July conditions of past
years. Instead of the clear sky usual
at this time of year, We had the al
formation of sunshine and shadow
one always find in the Atlantic coast
states; cool, bracing air for the most
of the month interspersed with a
few warmer days and a rainfall Of
nearly five times the amount record
ed for any previous July since the
Grants Pass station was established,
% years ago. These weather condi-
tors have given us the most diyersi-
aed and abundant harvest ever gath
cred in the Rogue River Valley.
Our climate has been steadily i'm
proving for the last two or three
years but is beyond the ability Of
man to say whether it is to be a
temporary or permanent change.

YOUR DRESSING TABLE.

First the position Of it.
My illustration is not a pretty one
today. but it shows only too we'll the
effect OF a dressing table badly placed
and thoughtlessly used. Notice that
the chair is pushed far back from the
edge of the dresser, and that the light
is bad. Notice how the girl in the
chair has to strain forward to get a
good vision. And back of it all is
pure carlesSness.
The English are more thoughtful. In
an English house the placing of the
dressing table is almost a ceremony.
1t Is placed directly before a window,
the face Of the woman sitting at it.
Then, 1t is always equipped with a
very large hand mirror-none OF these
dinky little bits of glass so often dig
nl1ed by that name here. but a real,
s~ervfceable mirror, that can take in
your head, neck and shoulders. The
best form for such a mirror to have is
oval.
At night he lighting is even more
important. The best way to manipu-
late it is to have two small electric
candlesticks. one on each side. The
shades should be so fashioned that the
light is thown on the face. This prin-
ciple is observed in the dressing rooms
OF theaters. The light is generally I'M
shaded and much nearer the face. This
is not necessary, however. for general
purposes, as the average woman is
not called upon to appear in a glaring
spotlight and before footlights. /
have e some really pitiable cases of
overpowdering and streaky powdering
that are of necessity the result OF lily
lighted dressing tables.

hated to primp." As this is a most
unnatural state of mind for any WON

As far as that went, she was right.
