City Goes Into
Real Estate

While city councils and property
owners in other Oregon cities are
discussing $3.50 plans, rebonding
issues and other schemes to pay
pavement assessments, Ashland is
serenely moving along with only the
expected annual "holler" from peo-
pie who are finding money "a little
mite scarce" when the annual pay
ment comes due. The reason for
the lack of agitation is due to the
policy which the city officials have
adopted in handling delinquent pave
ment taxes in relation to the proper
ty owners. The city has taken over
five lots in Railroad addition and
three other lots because the owners
did not feel that they would be able
to meet the assessments. Instead Of
waiting until the ten years of delin-
quency was up, the property owners
in all these cases have decided the
lots to the city. OF the eight lots
which have been taken over, the city
within the past few days has sold
three. Two of the lots, situated on
B street in the Railroad addition,
were sold for a trifle over the as
sessment against them. The other
lot, triangular shaped lot at the
intersection of the Boulevard and
Iowa street, was sold for trifle less
than the assessment against it on
account of the pavement on both
sides, but at the same time for
price which is conceded to be all the
lot is worth. This leaves five lots
on the city's hands, but all are worth
more than the assessment against
them and the city is not worrying.
According to Recorder Gillette, the
sum total of lots which are liable
to come into the c1tys hands from
now on are four situated at the end
of the pavement on B street. AS it
is now, times are picking up, real
estate values are doing anything but
decreasing, and the probability of
the city's having to go into the real
estate business on large scale is
growing less.
w. B. Holmes was the purchaser
of the Boulevard lot belonging to
the city and may erect a building
upon it, Mrs. Delsman bought the
B street lots and will erect a resi-
dence.
The lots still in the city's hands
are situated on A street at the end
of the pavement and on the Boule-
ward adjacent to the lot sold to Mr..
Holmes.

Club Work Is Based on Sound Prin-

Club Work Is Based on Sound Prin,
ciples.
Club work is the performance OF
definite enterprises based upon the
most economic practices of the farm
and home.
1t is founded on sound principles
and has come to stay. 1t is support
ed by federal and state aid as def
mite form of agricultural extension
work. Boys and girls on the farm
are in this work, and every possible
advantage is extended to fit them for
a better living ito improve country
life," thus bettering our government.
It's purpose is to enlist the boys
and girls of the state in profitable
and interesting activities, which will
develop them into economic produc-
ers, thus helping these boys and girls
to find themselves in useful training
in place of allowing them to drift
into useless or harmful occupation.
1t develops leadership and creates
cooperation, it inspires the right at
titude towards honest toll, and
spirit of sympathy for some calling,
however humble.
1t teaches the child to learn few
basic facts relating to agriculture,
animal husbandry, home economics,
and relative topics, which he or she
will use many times to advantage in
future life.
1t helps to make the whole conf
munity more efficient and creates a
deeper respect for the school as an
educational center.
In Oregon club work is carried on
by the Oregon Agricultural College,
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, and State Department of
Education, all working in co-opera-
ton. There were last year 1882
members enrolled in the club work
in the United States, and 11,642 in
Oregon, in the following projects.
Corn growing, potato growing vege-
table gardening, poultry raising,
pork production, dairy herd record
keeping, fruit raising, seed grain Sc
lection, rural home Identification,
farm and home handicraft, baking,
canning, and sewing.

Klamath Indians
Each Worth $4,000

Next to the Osages of Oklahoma,
the klamath Indian reservation In
dians are the richest in the United
States. AS a community the Indians
rank much higher in wealth than
most white communities, the average
wealth of each being s25 900. Some
interesting information regarding the
Indians on the Klamath reservation,
which Is so near to Ashland and yet
of which but little is generally
known in Ashland, is contained in
an article prepared by Agent B. w.
Freer of the klamath reserve and
published in the klamath Falls Her
aid.
Among the interesting statements
are the following
The klamath Indian reservation,
lying in the central part of Klamath
county, is bordered on the west by
Upper klamath lake and Wood river
and is on the direct route from
klamath Falls to Crater Lake nation
al park. The reservation is 81 miles
long and As miles wide, and contains
over one and a quarter million acres,
being about the size of the state Of
Delaware.
The reservation timber, the prop
erty of the tribe, covers an area of
about 100000 acres, and has been
roughly estimated at 100000, 900
feet. 1t is of good quality and is
practically all pine. Stumpage is Of
fered for sale from time to time to
the highest bidder, with a minimum
price stated. The Sprague river and
the lower reaches of the Williamson
river, which empty into Upper Lake,
have recently been opened for log
ging purposes.
"The Indians, who number LIS,
belong to the klamath, Modoc and
Piute tribes. There are also a few
Pitt Rivers, who were slaves, or the
offsprings of slaves, captured in for
mer years by the Klamaths.
"The Indians are unusually intelli-
gent and progressive. They speak
English, dress in citizens clothing,
occupy modern dwellings and live in
civilized manner.
"The government maintains
boarding school and five day schools
for the children. Farmers and stock
men are employed to instruct and
assist the men in farming and the
care of stock; field matrons teach
and help the housewives, and ply
sicians attend the sick"

This Years Apple Crop Smaller Than
Last Years.

The September forecast of total
apple production this year in the
United States, as reported by the bu-
reau of crop estimates, United States
Department of Agriculture, is 67,-
$4,000 barrels of three bushels
each agricultural and not CONNER
cial basis), as compared with 76,-
100000 estimated produced last
year, of which not quite 65 per cent
were sold.
In the past ten years estimated
production has exceeded the present
forecast five times. Taking the
country as a whole, it thus appears
that the apple crop will be nearly an
average, but IL percent smaller than
last years crop. The crop is larger
than last year in the Atlantic coast
states, including New York and
Pennsylvania, and in the Pacific
coast states, but smaller in practical
ly all the interior states except Mich
igan, winch has about "a per cent
more than last year.
Baldwins appear to be the leading
crop this year, with forecast of
100000 barrels, an increase of 12
per cent over last years production.
New York's forecast is 9,S41,0 900
barrels, an increase of AZ per cent
over the estimated production last
year; Pennsylvania, 933, 900 barrels,
an increase of 6 per cent; Massachu-
setts, $4,000 barrels, an increase
of 16 per cent; Ohio, $4,000, a de-
crease Of 81 per cent: Michigan,
SCI, 900, an increase of So per cent;
Maine, 10000, an increase of 1OS
per cent; all other states, 1880,
decrease of per cent.
Ben Davis, which was the leading
variety as to quantity last year, falls
to second this year, with forecast
production of 9,245,000 barrels,
