RICH ROGUE RIVER VALLEY.
tn-fgfMis nkny .'ruxs Ithnl Those
of Italian Vineyards.
A letter from Grant's, Pass to tho
Chicago Pucker says:
rhe Tokay grape enthusiasts of
Itogue river volley and of Grant's Pass
In particular, have hnd to revise their
figures on vineyard acreage. Needless
to say these figures will have to be In
creased uh they have had to be each
month since It was discovered that
the climate and the peculiar red soil,
found only in the foothills of Itogue
River valley, are Ideal for vineyards.
The Flume Tokay reaches such per
fection here In color, quality and
flavor that It is a marvel both to pro
ducer and consumer alike. Truly this
part of tho valley la "the Italy of
America."
The cause for recent enthusiasm is
the fact that the W. B. Sherman vine
yards have Just "heeled out" a car of
slips containing 100,000 Tokay slips
from Lodl, Cal.
"I expect to plant 120 acres this
siting," said Mr. Sherman to the
Packer man, "and next year this will
be Increased to 200 acres.
"We grow other things in this val
ley besides fruit." said Mr. Sherman.
"I want to show you my hotbeds whore
I grow my tomato plants. We grow
from 20 to 30 tons of tomatoes pet
acre. This year I will put out about
16 acres and, In fact, havo already
contracted that amount at $10 per
ton."
The Sherman vineyards are ndjacent
to tho city on the east, on a warm
gentle slope to the southwest, amid
beautiful natural surrounding.
Prult growers nre not the only ones
Interested In the grape Industry for
you hoar It talked of everywhere at
the hotels and business houses of tho
city, and fully 60 per cent of tho busi
ness men havo orchards or vineyards
of their own.
Between 800 nnd 1000 acres of ap
ples and pears havo been set out dur
ing the winter and spring.
Grant's Pass has a climate peculiar
to Itself, being a happy medium be
tween the dry hot weather of some
parts of California and the cold rainy
weather farther north. The term
"Sunny Oregon" undoubtedly found
its origin In tho Rogue River valley.

Not even the wide Hupping tro

lender form wilting nway from lack
of use. Smoldering brown eyes lllu
initiated the llftle fnce, maiTe wizen by

A troop of small boys noisily Invad
ed tho car at tbe next Htatlon. Heck
less in their good spirits, one of their
number wan roughly pushed against
a crutch, causing It to fall to tho floor.
Tbe man's eyes blazed more with an
guish tlutii with anger as be exclaim
ed Imrshly, "Bo careful!"
Tbe sturdy urchins, awed at what
had, occurred, subsided In seats oppo
site. Tbe man looked over their heads
Into space. Tbe child looked first at
the boys, then with questioning eyas
back at tbe man.
"Fawtber," he whispered as be light

Tbe man gave a startled glance
across tbe nlsle at "those boys," Inso

Risky Speculation.
In the days "befo' de wah" a bandy
negro named Jack was saving money
earned at odd times with which to buy
his freedom. His master encouraged
him and kept his money for him. In
Ume Jack bad saved $000 and needed
only another hundred to make him
free. His mister told him that It
wouldn't be long now until be could
get another hundred. Jack went out
with another slave to celebrate soma
local festival. Returning along the
railroad track tbey were frightened by
an approacblig train. Ilotb got off the
track, but Jack's companion fell and.
striking bis head agalust a rock, was
killed. Jack hurried as rapidly as ho
could to his master's bouse. It wa
a late hour, hut the master must hear
blm. He said, "Gimme mah money
right now." The astonished mastef
remonstrated, saying, "Out, Jack, you
need only another hundred dollars to
get free." "I knows It, Mars' Henry, I
knows it, but niggers Is too onsartlu
Bill Jes' killed hhseir by bustin' his
head agin a rock, an' I a in' gwlne In vea'
mah money in nothln' 4s onsartlu as

Grieg as Schoolboy.
Qrleg, the noted composer, was not a
pattern schoolboy. In a description of
his days at school he wrote: "Knowing
that by arriving late I would not be
allowed to enter the class until the end
of tbe first lesson, I used, on wet morn
ings, to stand under a dripping roof
until I was soaked to the skin. The
master then sent me home to change
my clothes, .hut the distance being long
this was equivalent to giving me a dis
pensation. Tou may guess that I
played this prank pretty often, but
when at last I carried it so far as to
come oue day wet through, though It
had hardly rained at all, tbey became
suspicious and kept a lookout. One
tine day I was caught and made an in
timate acquaintance with the birch."

A Peculiar Cold.
81ms Reeves had been announced to
lng at a small public dinner at which
Dickens presided, and, as happened
not infrequently, 81ms .Reeves bad
something ISe matter with his throat
and was unable to attend. Dickens
announced this, and the announcement
was received with a general laugh of
incredulity. This made Dickens very
angry, and he rose manfully to the de
fense of tbe delinquent. "My friend,
Sims Reeves," he said quietly, "re
grets his Inability to fulfill his engage
ment owing," he added, with caustic
severity, "to an unfortunately amus
ing and highly facetious cold."
Large Doings.
On Long Island a hundred and more
years ago there was fox hunting for
three daya during the seasor., and the
biography of Catherine Schuyler con
tains the following apt lines from tbe
pen of a witty woman whose name re

A fox It killed by twenty men.
That tar. perhaps had killed a hen.
A gallant aet no doubt is here.
All wlokefl foxes eught to fear
When twenty dogs and twenty men
Can kill a fox that killed a hen.

t city. J lie real live one seems to De Mr. vv nuiiig. in wmu
"mercial circles Mr. Whiting is no stranger, as ho is in busi
ness in the city of Portland, his candidacy came about largely through
tho commercial interests there, who desired that a business man and a
man who was in sympathy and knew the needs of the commercial world
be selected for this important position. Mr. Whiting is in no sense
of the word a politician, but purely a business man.
Ho is entirely free and independent of all railroad companies or
railroad influences and all trasnportation or other corporation, and if
nominated and elected will see that the rights and interests of the peo
ple are properly protected from any unjust burdens and enactions of
railroad companies, and will do what is right and just to all parties
concerned. Being an active business man, his years of experience will
bo especially helpful to him if elected.
Mr. Whiting is a pleasant gentleman to meet, and if chosen the
people will find him always willing to lend a helping hand toward se
curing justice.
"Known For
What It
Many people do not know what a bank's
capital means to its depositors, or the differ
ance between a bank of little or no capital,
and one with a large capital. One of the
functions of
A Bank s Capital
is to protect its depositors from possible loss;
therefore the larger it is, the greater protec
tion the depositors have.
This bank has a
Capital of .... 200,000.00
Surplus Fund of . . 50,000.00
Undivided Profits . . 25,000.00
Additional Shareholders
Liability .... 200,000.00
A TOTAL OF 475 000.00
This means that this bank must lose prac
tically half a million dollars before its depo
sitors could lose a cent.
