Peaches Unusually
Large and Fine

The peach crop this season is not
so extensive as it has been before,
but the size and color of the fruit
are the best and finest that could be
desired. The local fruit shipping
people think about one-half as many
cars will be needed to handle the
shipment as was needed last year.
The price Of Ashland peaches, how
ever, in and outside market, will be
better.
This is the first season for some
time that peaches have been on the
market by the Fourth OF July, their
very earliness, together with the hail,
being the reason for the shortage of
the crop, the late frost nipping many
of the peaches In the bud and then
hail spelling the fruit for CONNER
cial use, after 1t had reached con-
siderable size.
The fruit growers are busily max
ing preparations to handle the on
coming crop and the peach picking
will soon be In full swing.

Will Spend Thirty
Days in Cascades

Joseph Knowles, nature man and
artist, arrived in the city last week,
ready to take has plunge into the Sis
kiyou wilderness, where he will COM
bat with Dame Nature for the next
sixty days in an attempt to prove
that he can live as primitive man
lived, says the Grants Pass Courier.
Naked and alone, he will leave
civilization behind, and without
clothing, without arms or aid of any
kind he will call upon the forests and
the streams to supply both susten-
ance and raiment.
Accompanying Knowles to Grants
Pass are A. L. Fairbrother of Boston,
Mass, who is in management of the
enterprise; Prof T. T. Waterman OF
the University of California, an an
thropoligical expert of renown, who
will make careful scientific study
and report upon the experiment, and
who is especially commissioned to
see that no outside aid is extended to
Knowles; b. E. Lambert, photog-
rapher, and Philip H. Kinsman, re-
porter for the San Francisco Exam.

This party, piloted by c. l.. Ho-
bart, representing the Grants Pass
Commercial Club, left in two automo-
biles just after noon today for Camp
Three Creeks, the camp established
by the Caves Camp Company just
above Holland, on Sucker creek, and
will make preliminary investigation
of the country there. II is now con-
sidered probable that Knowles will
make the start on his trip into the
wilds either from that camp or from
the caves themselves, and that he
will operate in the wilderness to the
west and the south, crossing the line
into California, probably in the Pres
ton Peak district. After determining

later in the week the official start
will be made. How long Knowles
will remain in the wilds has not yet
been decided, depending largely upon
the length Of time necessary to dem
onstrate the success of his claim.
Daily reports will come from him, as
Prof. Waterman and others of the
party will remain in the vicinity,
though they will offer no assistance,
either by word of advice or other
wise Knowles daily reports will be
given his associates upon bark or by
other methods that employ none Of
the aids of civilization.
Last summer Knowles entered the
woods of Maine as naked as the day
he was born to prove that he could
live without aid for sixty days upon
such as nature had to offer He en-
tered the Maine wilds on August 4
and emerged clothed as shown in the
picture published in the Courier to-
day on October 4. His story OF hav-
ing lived without assistance, was
doubted by some, while others said
that it was only his intimate knowl-
edge OF the Maine woods life that
made the accomplishment possible.

known wilds Of southern Oregon and
northern California Is made by

WILSON
ASKSFOR BIG WAR TAX
To Make Up For the Loss in
Revenues.
Congress Expected to Enact Meas
ure to Collect Stamp Tax
Upon Luxuries.

While the United States is in no
way entangled with the terrible war
that is devastating Europe we shall
be obliged, in sense, to pay some
of the burdens thereof. The revenue
policy enacted by the Wilson admins
tration cut off the duties that prevail
ed upon many articles of import and
offered our markets tree to the world
upon those products. In consequence
import duties that were being re-
ceived upon such things, under the
much abused Payne tariff, and the
money derived therefrom, used for
meeting the expense of carrying on
the government, was lost, and it then
became necessary to levy federal
income tax by which to raise the
necessary funds to replace the lost
revenues.
Now comes the war. Traffic upon
the seas and our commercial COM
munication with Europe is at a stand
still because the vessels of those
countries have to remain in port to
avoid capture or destruction. The
result is that our imports have fallen
off to an alarming extent and our
revenues have shrunken in proper
ton.
President Wilson has presented to
congress an appeal for an emergency
internal revenue measure which shall
raise by taxation one hundred million
dollars. He is opposed to doing this
by a bond issue and demands of con-
gress law that will place a tax
upon such articles as will bring i'm
mediate and constant stream of money
into the government treasury.
This will mean, of course a further
increase in prices of many things and
add to the already extremely high
cost of living.
1t is probable that the new law
will provide a system of stamp taxes
similar to that of the Spanish War
tax, but is not likely to include the
stamping of checks, legal papers and
the like. Indications are that it
will increase the tax on beer so cents
a barrel, wines and WHISTLES 15 cents
a gallon, gasoline 1 to 2 cents a
gallon, and put a tax upon amusement
tickets, chewing gum and soft drinks,
tobacco and tobacco products, patent
medicines, playing cards, railroad
tickets, etc.

To those who mourn her untimely
death, human words of sympathy are
but feeble consolation. But Jesus,
the consider of every woe, can cross
the tempest tossed sea of any grief,
as easily as once he crossed the sea
of Galilee, and stilled the stormy
pillows. He whispers still cit is 1,
be not afraid And he leaves no
heart comfortless that comes peni-
tent and sorrowing.

In Memoriam-Miss Jennie Farrand.

Our sad. long month has passed away.
Yet time brings no relief.
We miss YOU more and more each day,
With sad and bitter grief.
But we know that you are happy
In the mansions of the bleSt.
Where there is no D Tin or sorrow.
But sweet eternal rest.
Jennie, beloved, eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Austin Farrand was
born in the township of Beetown,
Grant Co., Wisconsin, July 8, 1888
and passed from this life at her par
ents' home in the city of Lancaster,
Aug. 4, 1914. aged twentysix years
and twenty-six days, after a painful
illness, leaving to mourn the grief
stricken parents, two sisters, Grace,
Mrs. Robert Smith, of Chicago,
Mary at home, and many other rela-
tives and friends.
Jennie has always lived at home !:
except few earlier years, her life
was spent in Lancaster. She was
her mothers companion and helper.
A loving daughter, a kind sister,
willing to share all tasks, ready to
dispense all her pleasures with those
she loved She had been in failing
health for many months, growing
gradually more frail as the days went
bv. But with the buoyancy of
youth. she retained hope and cheer
fitness. Even in the last two weeks,
which were full of intense suffering,
and the utmost skill of the physicians
could not allay the pain-she was,
in her intervals of consciousness,
cheerful and grateful for the I'M
renting care bestowed.
