JOSEPHINE HOSPITALITY.

In its entertainment OF the Ma
zamas who come to Josephine county
Friday morning the people of Grants
Pass can make good their boasted
hospitality. These people are asking
little of the community into which
they come for three days stay, and
that little should be accorded with
the most open handed hospitality, and
every added opportunity for showing
courtesy should be taken advantage
Of The local committees have made
call for autos to take the visitors
to the end of the wagon road, and
Friday morning at eight o'clock every
car in town that is capable of making
the trip without breaking down
should be lined up ready to carry its
quota Of Mazamas. Crowded cars
and hospitality do not go we'll to-
gether A few extra cars should also
be provided to make the trip so that
II one or two should happen to suf-
fer break down, no delay will be
occasioned in getting the cutters at
the end Of the road.
The following have already guaran-
teed the use OF their cars;

This action against the university
s unfortunate for two reasons. 1t is
unfortunate first because It handicaps
an institution that is worthy Of the
best that the public can give, for the
education Of the youth of the land is
the matter OF prime Importance. 1t
is unfortunate also in that the cleo
ton for which the referending OF the
appropriation calls will occasion an
unnecessary expense, an expense in
Itself nearly as great as the appropri-
alton made to the university. From
this 1t is plain that the attack on the
university is not made in the interest
Of economy, but that malice lies be-
hind It.
For a number Of years there has
been an agitation in certain sources
looking to the consolidation OF the
two big schools of the state, the uni
yersity and the agricultural college,
and the crippling of the former is part
OF a system outlined by the advocates
of consolidation No good argument
has been advanced for the consolida-
ton OF these two institutions, but
there is the experience Of other states
demonstrating that the Oregon sys-
tenn is proper. The local Commercial
club has recently gone on record as
being opposed both to the consolida-
tion idea and to the referring of the
university appropriation

ty in being just TO the negro. and
while the negro problem is reeog-
nized as our greatest one, it would
be worse II the negroes were jap
anese. For the negroes have no
home government to which they can
appeal-a government armed and in
spired with the fine race pride Of the
Japanese. II Santo Domingo and
Hayti contained fifty millions of
yell-organized negroes, our present
race question would be one Of war.
we must not have war with Jap
an or China or a freed and indepen-
dent Hindustan. Therefore We must
settle this matter now before II ia
too late. We must settle It now on
the basis OF our right to exclude any
people whom we do not think we can
take into our work OF perfecting
democracy. We must settle 1t before
an allen nation Is established In our
midst--a nation of marked people
proud of their race, and ready to ap-
peal to their ancient and powerful
empire for aid in every quarrel with
us Half a million Japanese In this
country would embroil us in war
with Japan within half a decade. Let
us stop the influx while the numbers
are small and their interests still
capable Of being adjusted"

ANOTHER WARNING.

Even In the face OF repeated warn
ings from land office officials, courts,
etc. there is still the stream of dol

'locators' who prevail upon the un-
sophisticated to make applications for
the o. a C. lands No rights follow
these applications 10 purchase is the
statement of l.. l.. Sharp, chief of the
field division OF the United States
land office, he stating that the set
lers on the land grant acreage for

Wolverton, have no right to the land
and that when the government finally
gets back full title to II, II will not
be open to settlers. II the circuit

remarks OF Representative Lafferty,
who anticipates that the appellate

CLOSED FISHING PERIODS.

A copy Of the Rogue river nshing
law received in the city indicates the
provisions closing the river on Sun
DAYS during the fishing season does
not apply to that portion OF the river
above the mouth Of the Illinois. The
prohibition of netting from Saturday
night to Monday morning was TO give
the salmon a chance TO ascend the
river unmolested at stated periods so
that part Of the run could reach the
upper river and furnish sport for the
angler. On the lower river these
closed periods would permit fish TO
ascend for the netters and anglers
above, this being usual regulation
in all salmon streams.
While it is evident that a strict in
terpretation of the law will permit OF
continuous fishing during the months
of June and July in the open waters
here, many of the fishermen believe
that the local union should observe
the usual closed period, anG keep the
nets out Of the water from Saturday
night till Monday morning. This
would effectually stop adverse criti-
cism. The conservation Of the stream
so that both the commercial fisher
man and the sportsman angler will
be Justly dealt with should be the
aim OF all

HAVE BEEN RECEIVED

Another shipment of tomato plants
will arrive Thursday for the jose
phine County Producers association
for distribution among its members.
This makes $4,000 plants that have
come to the association, and in addi-
ton to the many thousands of home
grown plants that have been put out
will make the tomato crop one OF
considerable magnitude. Shipments
will be made to the association as
long as there is the present demand
for them.

DAIRY INTEREST is GROWING.

Following the coming OF the pre-
mier herd of Jersey cattle recently
brought here by X. NJ. C. Neill of the
Ardencraig farm, comes the an
nouncement of the shipping of 46
'Guernseys to the Leonard Orchard
Co, These shipments are evidence
of the trend OF things in the valley,
and while they do not show that
there is in any wise loss of faith in
the fruit industry that has been so
exploited in the years past, 1t does
show that other lines of endeavor that
have been neglected are to be de-
veloped. There is every reason why
the Rogue should become foremost
among the dairy districts of the west,
and the COW will surely do her part in
aiding the fruit tree to bring fame to
the valley of the Rogue and fortune to
the fortunate residents OF this IA
vored region,
While the herd that is now coming
to the Leonard people will remain in
tact, there will be later shipments for
distribution among the farmers, and
all who wish to so into the dairy in.

A PROMISING INDUSTRY.

A number OF the vineyards In the
Grants Pass district are just coming
into commercial bearing this season
for the FIRST time, and with each year
from now on the industry will be-
come Of greater magnitude. The cul-
ture OF the grape should be given the
greatest Encouragement, for there is
no doubt of its profitableness. The
Tokay especially finds a ready market
and the Rogue valley product has no
superior in quality and appearance.
This grape will grow on lands that
can be obtained at most modest
prices, and there is no branch OF
fruit culture so easy to get start in
as grape growing. The vineyards are
giving promise OF a heavy yield this
season, and shipments will be much
heavier than on any previous year

The Haverford is still aground
with its crew aboard. At the COM
pany's offices here it was stated that
the vessels 900 passengers had been
removed. Apparently the ship is
doomed on account of the deep water
surrounding the rock. A heavy fog
still prevails. The vessel struck the
reef as 1t entered the harbor prepar-
atory to taking on 80 passengers.
Admiral Coke, in charge of the Brit
ish squadron here, has sent several
vessels to the Hayerford's assistance.
Liverpool. May 29.-Offcials here
.of the American line, owner of the
steamer Haverford, declared here
this afternoon that they had received
no positive information regarding
the vessels exact condition. They
admitted, however, that everything
indicated that it was in bad shape.
At seven o'clock tonight between
900 and 1000 passengers had been
removed from the Haverford and
were enroute to Liverpool, where an
other American liner is to start for
Philadelphia.

bned in the production of Quality Printing. The
mechanic can and does produce the ordinary run
of printed junk-cheap fodder rushed thru the shop

from the boss if his per centum of profit is not
forthcoming at typothetae prices. Only the crafts
man can bring forth work of merit, and therein
the small printshop has the advantage of many

its pay rolls. Quality Printing is representative
of true art in that is appropriate to the purpose
intended, embodying utility to the utmost degree.
The craftsmanprinter endeavors to fully understand
the purpose of the work he is set to accomplish,
and carries the idea of appropriateness, of utility,
with him thru every detail of the labor. The result
must be satisfactory and in such the price can
