(From Saturday's Daily.)
For several weeks J. M. Sweeney
of Detroit, Mich., has been quietly
investigating matters In the Rogue
Iliver valley and finally mado a pur
chase of the Menken place better
known as the old Blocher place, two
miles from Jacksonville. The proi
rty consists of 1400 acres of land,
well watered, timbered and much of
it In the finest of tillable land. Mr.
Sweeney, in nn interview "with
Morning Mall representative, said:
"I feel that I have secured one of
tha best bargains In this section o
the country and will return horn
weil satisfied with the success of rr.y
trip and with the assurance that the
people with whom I am connected
will most hpartlly approve my actiou.
Of the 1400 acres In the (tract, I es
timnte that at least 1200 acra are
the finest kind of fruit lands, tiu

strates that the soil Is deep, rich and
amply subirrlgated, and as the tiar

is our ultim; - lat ;i:tlM, but while
we nre waiting for om orchard to
come into b"aring we will not be
without an income and a fairly f-.V
startial one.
"Conservative estimates made by

aid it Is nearly all the way down
hill haul, so that I figure that I
can place this wood upon the market
at an average profit of $2 per cord.
That makes a tidy little income of
itself There are besides 5,000,000
feet of saw timber on the place.
"Besides this, the famous 'old
channel' outcropplngs, of which ell
miners are seeking cuts across the
property, and this little vial of gold
I am showing you was washed out by
Mr. Menken from the placer ground
almost as quickly as I have told you
about it. The three gulches on thf;
property are all gold bearing and
ery rich. The original owner wojld
r.ot work it themselves nor allow
any one else to do so, and as a con
sequence all that wealth has laid
dormant for years. A glint p'vni-
if on the ground and a i
pense of $1000 or such a matter, will
construct a couple of dams that will
conserve water enough to last lx

A number of the leading citizens
of' this city are becoming very much
interested In the matter of sanlta
lon now that the hot months of the
year nre coming on. Physicians of
ho city nre constantly on their guard
against epidemics and the city coun
cil at their meeting on Friday eve
ning appointed Dr. Morrison as city
health officer with Instructions to
watch the condltlous in the city very
arefully. It Is evident that nothing
will be left undone to guurd the
ltys health.
Among the prominent men who are
li'ing the matter up actively is John
i. ivoot, who Is the chairman of the
:o:uiailtee appointed by the Commer
inl club to confer with the city coun
II In regard to sanitation. Mr. Itoot
:is had considerable to do during
lis life with the sanitary conditions
xlstfng in vailous parts of Hie L'l it
1 States and what lie hns to say
the matter is of more than passing,
interest. In an interview with a I
'preventative of The Morning Mall,
Mr. Uoot said:
"A clean community is a hea'.th
'ul community and a healthful com
munity Is the successful community.
Sanitation has done more to advance
Ivlltzatlon than anything else, wit.-
the exception of education.
This city has grown from a small
place to a large one in a very Bhort
time, and so busily has It been en
gaged in growing that the attention
to sanitary matters has been neglect
ed in a great respect. The more
lense the city's population becomes
Lhe more need Is there of sanitation.
"There Is only one way in which
to handle the offal of a city and that
is to burn It up. The dumping of
arbage oa the ground or burying it
is a frightful menace to public
health. The result of the study of
sanitary engineers baa always re
sulted In the same deduction of the
problem, which Is to burn up the
refuse and utterly destroy it by fire
"Decaying vegetable and animal
matter produces germs which are the
cause of disease and death, and this
community should certainly receive
the protection due them by having all
of the refuse and offal uf the city
removed and burned.
in a city of this size a crematory
which would be large enough to burn
all of the refuse of this city for the
next decade would not cost a great
deal of money, and I am glad to note
that the committee appointed by the
mayor are becoming Interested In the
matter, and I trust that they will see
heir way clear to recommend that
a proper plant for burning the ref-
uso or the city La installed.
"There is no dumping ground 1
available and only a small portion
of the refuse of this community is
King removed, but is allowed to lay
week after week in alleys and be
hind restaurants and other build-
ngs In the city. 1 am pleased to
note that the council appointed Dr.
Morrison es h-alth officer, and I
will be glad to hear his report when
mule as to the conditions existing In
this city. The mayor has also ap
pointed a committee to work with
comnlttpe from the Commercial
aai It is to be hoped that these
jinmlttees can do a considerable
mount of woik toward placing the
:lty in a better sunitary condition.'
Apple Prospect Good.
Whatever may have happened to
other fruit in the Northwest during
this backward sett son, there Is m
prospect of a shortage in the appl
crop of Oregon. Whether the bloom
and setting wero abundant or cut
down; to one-tenth by the frost, iht
result to the Oregon apple-grower Is
the same the apple will be king of
908.
The most effective "boost" for the
industry is to tell what is being done
in this portion of the state, and we
give tho following with regard to the
Kogue river district, not as setting
up this section as superior to all oth
ers, but as demonstrating wnat hap
pens when brains and scientific t il
ture are combined with the prowr
natural conditions.
The fact that for the past flv-j
years tho Rogue Ulver valley has re
ceived the highest prices on certain
varieties of commercial apples ever
obtained by any fruit district -f
America or Europe, with the possible
exception of Hood Hiver, is cautdiu
thinking people In all sections of the
country to inquire tho reason.
There are two prlnclual reason.
for this supremacy, the first being
the wonderful natural facilities or
resources of this valley In the way
of climate and soil, which produce
unexcelled fruit; tho other the sekm
tiflc methods of cultivation carerully
followed by every Individual fruit
grower here ail believing mat n
fruit Is worth raising at all it is
worth raising right. The high stan
dard maintained to a uuit by the
horticulturists of this district is the
admiration of the fruit world and the
product of this one little valley not
much larger in area than a western
stockman's ranch has done more to
advertise Oregon than any one otht r
of her wonderful and attractive sec
tions. Tho soli of this valley is of vul
canic origin and ' of two distlnc!
kinds one being a light ash, the other
a decomposed lava, colored to a deti
reddish chocolate by the iron it con
tains. Both are rich in phosphates
and abundantly supplied with niti
sen. They prove their wonderful
iroductive qualities season after sea
son. In the greater pari oi me un
able area the top roil Is of unusual
depth and the perfect root growth
of fruit trees is unrestrained. The
peculiar proportion of chemical ele
ments in this soil brings the am io
and strawberry to a greater degree
of perfection than In any other
known fruit-growing district, the
fruit having a soundness and keeping
quality not attained elsewhere, wMlo
in color, uniformity of size and fla
vor they are unequaled. Other fru'ts
aro most successfully raised, ei'e-
ciol attention being given to pears,

I From Tuesday's Dally.)
Whenever Welhorn Beeson of Tal

news item concealed about his per
son somewhere, and Judicious p.oti
ing will, as a rule, bring the afore
said Item to light.
lie was in the city Saturday a-id
gave The .Morning Mail scribe the
following:
"Did you ever find a dead d:vr in
t hi) woods?" asked Mr. Beeson; "tin t
is, one which hud apparently died
from natural causes?" The reporter
hadn't seen a deer of any kind ,'n
so long that Mr. Beeson conlU:ue',
without Interruption. "I havo been
In the woods you might say, from In
fancy, and, wlillo during that time 1
have found many deer lying dead.
I never before a short time ago saw a
dead deer that did not bear wounds
of some description, neither have I
ever been able to find a woodsman
who has seen one. Ijist week, how
ever, Henry Gnley, Kalph Billings
ui,d myself wore cruising about on
the Glade fork of Applegate and we
ran across a deer lying dead, which
bore no evidence of previous wounds
to Indicate tho cause. The animal
had been dead not more than 24
hours at tho most, and not only was
there no wound visible, but other evi
dences wero lacking that to tne
practical hunter would Indicate that
a small bullet had caused death and
that the wound had closed up. H
was something very much out of the
ordlnnry."
Mr. Beeson then went on to do a
little talking about his particular sec
tion:
We are not worrying about a
short fruit crop up Wagner creek, '
he said. "Some of the frultmcn are
worrying the other way. Itapp &
Oatmnn have some 300 Newtown
trees and for the past two weeks
tneir payroll has been 12 per day
oa labor thinning the fruit on those
trocs. I never saw anything to equal
It. They are taking out eleven out
