will be out May 1. Spraying should
be done in advance of the first worms

Cod I in moths are the bauo of the or

made unsalable.
Tho spray used most effectively is It

BRIGHT CROP PROSPECTS
OF JOSEPHINE COUNTY
(! ii A NTS PASS, Or., May ft. The
general development and progress of
farm work in Josephine county has
been far-reaching during the winter
months, and the opening of spring has
found many acres ready for fruit trees
and berries, which will be set out. A
splendid rain has been falling, and this
will increase tho hap crop and late sown
grainjl and gives assurance of heavy
yields. A trip over tho county shows
that an enormous amount of work has
been going on in clearing laud and plant
ing orchards, besides much has been
accomplished in other-direct ions toward
developing the farming communities.
A never faif ing crop for this part of
I Rogue River valley is tho strawberry,
I which grows everywhere, and will pro
duce two revenuo crops each year, ow
ing to tho climatic conditions. This is
'a feature unknown to Hood Kiver mis
j ers, and perhaps to any other part of
: the state. It is not nn unusual sight to
see berries almpst all the year around
j in fact they are nn the market from
I May until Christmas.
! With the industrial hum and swing
I felt everywhere, tho prospects for (he
! future were never better. The lumber
I season is opening well, nnd during the
summer there will about 30 mills in
ithis vicinity sawing the sugar pine of

PREDICTION
Naval Hero Thinks Roose
velt Certain of renom
ination Said to be on
Still Hunt Himself
That Congressman Itichmond P. Hob
sou, hero of the Merriinac, is on a still
haul for the democratic nomination for
the presidency in ltM-1- is one of the
stories following the advocate of n big
iiiivv about the couhtry. When asked
about it. he admitted having heard tho
assertion before, but he refused to deny
or affirm it.
'I am out of politics, except to aid
the cause of a greater navy and show
my countrymen the dangers ahead of
lis,' said Captain Hobson. My heart
nnd soul are in this effort, and it is my
polities.
"I think President Roosevelt will be
re nominated. Signs seem to point that
way. He is regarded by many ns the
only man available to beat Hryun. Hut
there is a powerful element of tho ro
publican party that will support a dem
ocrat in preferenoo to Roosevelt.
'l think that Uryan should name
the democratic nominee, I don't un
derstand why Governor Folk's nnme has
been dropped. I understand thai ho is
Hrvau's first choice. Ho is certainly
well situated from both south nnd north
to unite the discordant elements of the
democratic party."
Captain Hobson did not seem to think
that (iovernor Johnson was likely to
succeed or that- he would ie very strong
in the south, even if nominated.
LADD AND TILT ON V
INCORPORATE BANK
I'OliTI.AND, May fi. Articles of in
corporal ion have been filed by I he
Ladd Hi Tilton bank. The institution
will commence business ns a corporation
tomorrow morning after almost lit) years
of existence ns a private bank. The
capital stock is $l,(iim,niu, fully paid
up, and the institution shows a surplus
of iflno.tMKl at the outset of its cor
porute career.
The management, of the bank will be
the same as heretofore; the necessity
for incorporation arises fro in tho in
creasing business of the institution.
This can be handled better by a corpo
ration than by a private bank arid in
enso of the death or disability of any
of those who control the bank, the busi
ncis cannot bo affected in any way,
whereas, if the private blink were con
tinned, much probate business and
straightening out of the estlite would
nieessiirily follow the death of anyone
in trol of the institution.
MILLION GRAPEVINES
PLANT PAST YEAR
Almost 1,0110,0110 grapevines have
been planted mi the hill slopes of
southern Oregon in the past year, states
Iteuuis iStowall in the Suiidny Journal.
The grape eni.e. us it is popularly
called, is HiiperM'dirig the gold craze,
and it is interesting to note that ninny
of the best vinevrads are thriving on
ground th:it was worked in the early
davs for the precious yellow metal. The
variety that has proved its superiority
in southern Oregon is the Flaming To
luiv. It h:is also been found that the
celebrated American grape, the Con
cord. :im well as many of the more deli
cate Kuropean varieties, such ns the
Malvoises, It oho of Fern, Hlaek Ham
burg, Coldea 'hasselar and others
thrive on the red lands of southern
regott. The conditions of noil, alti
tude and climalM are almost idenfieal
with that of the famous wine-producing
sections of France and Italy.
VinevnrdistH are finding tin south
hill slopes of the Kogue Kiver valley,
particularly those red land nnd granite
.list rids of Josephine and Jackson
counties, to be ideal grnpe lands. The
mil is warm, of good depth and well
drained, three prime requisite for fine
ccssf ill grape cull ore. These foothill
lurid-, evi n though the l:nn may h"e a
depth of only two feet, with n slope to
die south or south or southwest, nnd
lying at nn elevation of from I0'" to
.'oo feet, are splendid locations for
vineyaids. The grape, to innture, ami
to reach the holiest point of excellenee
iM to .ob.r, size aad flavor, mii'.t In
grown in on equable temperature, with
ample sunshine, mid the south, south
east and southwest hill slope of Rogue
River valley meet these requirements

SQUADRON OFF
FERRIES
AT LAST
Two New Barges for
Crossing Upper Rogue
Ordered After Months
, of inaction.
Neglect of county roads by tho count'
court has caused farmers no end of
trouble in all parts of tho county. Ko
has neglect of bridges, and costly struc
tures are falling to niecea for lack of
a few dollars spent in repairs. So has
neglect ot terries, which have, actually
been allowed to become so rotten that
they fell to pieces.
No persons perhaps of all the many
inconvenienced by neglect of highways
have been worse put out than thoso
residents of tho upper Roguo country,
who depended upon the Trail ferry to
cross the stream. Siaco the ferry rot
ted away last winter, it has been lin
possiblo to cross savo by the Flounce
Rock bridge, many miles upstream, lu
be led unsafe for travel, or tho Jlybeo
bridge, t!t miles below.
After months of inaction, the county
government, stirred to uctiou by Tim
Tribune, has ordered tho building of two
ferries in response to lengthy petitions
from resident. One will cross the Htreftm
at the old Jackson ford and tho other
at the Trail creek crossing. Work will
begin this week on both ferries, und it
will oou not bo necessary to take u
