IS IN GREAT FAVOR Farmers in Western Oregon May Consent to Cut Up Big Tracts, Says Manager Chapman on His Return to Portland. PORTLAND, Aug. 24. Manager C. C. Chapman of the Portland Com mercial club's promotion department, is back from an extended iuforma-tion-getting tour of Southern Ore gon, and when seen was very much elated over the results of tho trip. "What I consider the most signifi cant feature of the trip," said Mr Chapman, in discussing his tour, "was the favorable way the people of the cities and towns, and the farmers received the doctrine of col onization, which I preached inces santly. The great need of the whole country throughout the South Wil lamette, the Umpqua and Rogue Ri- er valleys, is the cutting up of tho big farms into smaller tracts, so as to make them accessible to the new comers who are prevented from ac quiring farming lands because they can only buy in extensive tracts, and in most cases, for cash down. Many of the fanners now owning tremen dous acreages have been holding their land for years and the senti ment lias been against cutting up these big tracts, although it has been impossible, under this system, to fully utilize the land, or keep it un der anywhere near tho profitable cultivation it is capable of. "The energetic, ambitious eastern ers who have been swurmiug into Oregon have sought in vain, to secuio small farm or orchard tracts for in tensified cultivation, hecnuso unreas onable prices have been asked, una tho land-owners were unwilling to sell their holdings in any except ox tensive tracts', tho installment plan of sale, too, has been looked upon with little favor by tho land owners, who have been wont to demand cash, down on a "take it or leave it' basis.. Tliis has been very discouraging lo the would-be purchasers, nnd it 1 one of the main reasons why the population of the northwestern cit ies has been increasing out of nil proportion to tho country population. Wherever I went on my recent trip I explained these things as forcefully as I could to tho peoplo that flocked in from all directions. I had feared that it might cause resentment, but on tho contrary I found thut every where tho peoplo wero interested, and that they gave thoughtful consider ation to what I was endeavoring to impress upon them. Evon the old timers, who havo been so strongly in trenched in tho nnti-cutting-up sen timent cnught tho idea right awnv, und many of them declared for col onization ou tho spot, and began to consider marketing their lands in small tracts, upon an installment basis. I am suro tho scod sown will bear fruit, nnd that in a few months tho fertile valloys through which I toured will bo easily acquirable," COLONIZATION Central Point Items Elmer aud Guy Guilders went to Roguo river on a fishing spreo Sun day ( ouly used ouo Jug of bait and brought homo olght tlno stcclheads.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hawk and family aud Frank Popo nutoed to Roguo rlvor and fished for a couplo j of hours Monday evening. I Owing to tho Inability of Mr. Dado to bo present at tho council mooting Monday night, tho water system was not accepted by tho council. W. II.

STORY TOLD OF L0VEAND HATE Barnnm & Bailey Will Show in Med ford Next Monday at 10 a. m. Parade Will Be Held at 8 a. m. in the City. A curious story of love and rc veugo is told by the man who has charge of Banium & Bailey's simian collection. The fact that it is the love and revenge of an African mon key doesn't abate tho human interest in the narrative. The mau who tells the story had charge of a shipment of some 300 monkeys which were in tended for the Barnum & Bailey menagerie. The monkeys were con fined in a large room nenr the furn ace (the steamer was a freighter). Among them were two unusually intelligent simians who were releas ed during the voyage and permitted the freedom of the ship, nhnppily a Hidden storm came up aud one of the playful creatures was washed overboard. The remaining one, who hnd not seen his comrade's sudden talcing off, searched tho ship for hours and finally betook himself to the rigging, where he remained three dnvs. refilling food and nvoidinir nil GOLD RAY GRANITE CO.

Walker Dlatno of Soasldo was horo for a few hours on Tuesday aftor noon. City Councilman Barnard of Ash land visited frlonds In CortrnI Point Mondny. efforts to capture him. No doubt ho held the sailors re sponsible for tho (loath of his part nor and it would appear that ho was formulating a schemo for revenge. Anyway, tho third night he released all tho monkeys in the hold aud for two days the .simians made life mis erable for tho sailors. They bit nnd scratched nnd fought, and it vos on ly after a number of them hnd been flung overboard that tho balnuuo could be captured aud secured. And in nil the forays and fierce charges. tho revengeful monkey wn? in the van. Whatever may bo contended con cerning the reasoning powers of the brute creation, there hnvo been many instances recorded of their remein branco of past injuries. And this fnct would seem to give tho story of monkey vengenuce some semblance of truth. When the Barnum & Bailey great est show on earth conies to Medford next Monday morning for ,one per formance at 10 o'clock a. in. you will find the monkey cages worthy a few moments' visit. Tho little creatures hold a fnscihutiou for the majority of mankind which is truly remark able; boys love to torment them, but men enjoy studying their nlmost hu man behavior. To sell It cheaper than any one else is Important storo ndvlco. If you let tho peoplo know about It, you'll get them interested in your store scores of thom, who only "know" where It Is now.
