ing Mr. Onoly said that the matter
was previously brought to the atten
I Ion of County Judfe Wonnoctt. and
that he promised to take some ac
tion regarding a general clean-no in
tho event the fruit growers desired.
Mr. Cooley declared that the fruit
growers expressed themselves ns dis
satisfied with Jconditlons at that
time .and even went so far as to rec
ommend the appointment oT O. II
Cash, a well known Douglas county
fruit urower, as inspector.

remarks, provident. Harris, addp'ss

Hardly had Mr. Oliver presented
the proposition, when several mem
bers jumped to their feet, all of
whom expressed themselves as much
pleased with the generosity evidenc
ed by the company in offering the
land without. charge. After n
brief discussion it wis. finally de

accordingly a committee consisting
of Messrs S. K. Sykes, S. D. Cooley
