We have been developing the President
Mine for two years, and now have ore
enough in sight to justify the erection
of the first unit of our reduction works.
Offici*:
No. 420* Main St.
Patronise One Another for the Upbuilding ot Town and County.
While the Itemizer is probably as ernest an advocate
o f good roads as there is, yet we hardly deem the pres
ent situation sufficiently grave to warrant the calling o f
an extra session o f the legislature by Governor W est •
for the special purpose o f passing a law on the subject
as proposed by the Medford commercial club. The
convening o f our state law makers is a costly affair,
and the expense o f getting them together should not be
nut upon the taxpayers unless in a case o f great danger
to the public good. Polk county is now spending all
she can, under the present levy, to better her roads,
and will have all she can attend to along that line for
this year with her present equipment. That the pass
ing o f a law authorizing this county to incur an indebt
edness for that purpose would work no particular good
that we can now see. As with Polk, so with mo3t oth
er counties.
W e need just the price o f 2,500 shares at 25 cents
each to defray this expense.
A fterw ards the property will pay good dividends
and grow in reduction capacity from its own out
put as fast as we can reasonably desire.
W e will work the mine in a conservative way and
depend for results upon the gold which we get out
o f the ore.
The ore is free-m illing and assays as high as
$52.46 and as low as $15.00 per ton, either o f
which is a good working value.
W e have 200 tons o f this kind o f ore on the dump
and enough more in sight to keep a large plant
busy for years.
There will be no tunnels to dig nor any other pre
liminaries— we will just put the mill on the prop
erty and begin producing gold this summer.
HAVE SURELY M&DE GOOD.
“ N ext spring is to see the starting o f more building
operations in Dallas than ever before in its history.
The Williams brick will probably be the largest edifice
erected, although there are plans in the air now for
another structure that may eclipse that. Certain it is
that at least two business blocks will be added that are
now in the residence district.’ ’
The foregoing is clipped from the Item izer o f last Oc
tober. The promises therein made are being fulfilled
to the letter, and both buildings when completed in the
near future will be a credit to their builders and im
prove the appearance o f our Main streets greatly. The
erection o f these bricks has brought other building in
their train, notably the $15,000 armory soon to be start
ed, and even more building is is now contemplated for
1912 than we have had this year. We are assured a
couple more large brick structures, but have been re
quested by the projectors not to divulge the location.
More store rooms are continually being made necessary,
by the added amount o f business coming to Dallas from
the influx o f new residents all around, which influx
while not particularly noticeable to the unobservant, is
steady and constant. N ew faces are always appearing
on our streets and the inquirer finds that most o f them
are purchasers o f land here to make their homes, satis
fied and contented to cast their lot with us. Dallas is
bound to see many other improvements during the next
12 months. The commercial club is working individu
ally and collectively to bring in new industries, which
will add to our payrolls and increase our inhabitants.
Dallas now needs such more than any one thing, and
intelligent and continued effort is certain to meet suc
cess before long. Too much raw material is lying un
developed right at our doors to permit o f its not being
utilized in the near future by eastern manufacturies
who will see the necessity o f making goods where the
market is and avoiding long shipments. W e are proud
o f our progress for 1911, and anticipate with pleasure
the new things to come for 1912.
There could not be an investment that will yield
quicker, larger, nor, as we think, surer returns
for the money.
The report o f the U. S. Geological Survey, and the
opinion o f Some o f the most eminent experts and
geologists give this District a high place as to its
possibilities o f gold production and neighboring
mines have yielded great quantities o f gold.
The Itemizer will furnish booklets upon request
and you can send in your applications for stock
through the same medium.

GOOD FRUIT OR NONE.
The establishment o f a packing plant at Dallas will
do much toward developing one o f her largest indus
tries and help greatly in making her a recognized mar
ket center for all kinds o f fruit. It will be but a few
years more until this section can rightfully claim leader
ship in several other lines o f fruits, as she can now in
prunes. While we can not claim any mammoth or
chards, as some sections, running up into hundreds o f
acres, o f apples, pears, walnuts or other things, yet
there are some quite large ones, and there is hardly a
land owner that has not now set out from five to fifty
acres o f some variety that he thinks will bring him the
most revenue. As the Item izer has frequently men
tioned, it will not be long until these tracts, both large
and small, will be coming into partial and full bearing,
and it is but good business sense that a means be pro
vided to make them profitable to their owners, and re
pay them amply for the time, labor, care and money
they have expended in assisting in turning our farm
lands into something more productive than cereals and
naturally giv in g our country lands an enhanced valua
tion. A packing plant is one way o f helpingout on this
proposition, but it is not the only thing needed to suc
cessfully bring to the best market our fruit at any and
all stages o f its selling ability. This was the prime ob
ject in view in the organization o f a fruit union —in or
der that its members might by co-operation most intel
ligently and advantageously market their productf|
This system has been found by experience in other
large fruit grow ing centers to be the only one that
brings the desired results, and no sound and logical a r
gument can be brought against i t
So far the fm it
union is in an embryo state, owing to a lack o f as many
enthusiastic members as there should be, but as the
time draws nearer for other orchardists to begin to
market their products more interest will be taken and
the organization worked up to be the power in the land
it should be. One thing that will greatly tend to bring
about this desired end will be the holding o f our fruit
fa ir next fall. Goodly prizes have been offered for
nearly everything in the fruit line, and i f growers re
spond with the best they can produce, the fair will be a
success from every standpoint. The principal object o f
such a fa ir is not to really show off what we have, al
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ m
:
though that will enter not a little into its success, but
by examples from the best and most experienced grow
ers induce all to follow their example and put upon the
market first class fruit only. In this way our section
will work up a name for only the best o f everythin#,
incidentally commanding at all times a much better fig
ure than fruit from other places which are negligent in
some o f the essentials to good raising and ready to take
almost any price they can get for the poor stuff they
bring to market. It takes time and careful work to
build up a reputation for only the best o f fruit, but it
can be [lulled down very quickly by the placing of a few
lioxes o f bad fruit on the market. We have in mind a
l>ox o f apples we bought last winter, paying a good
price as ft came from a man who had worked up a rep
utation for the best. The apples were not worth 25
cents a bushel and that man will sell us no more apples.
Some may conclude all this talk is not germane to the
subject we started on, a packing plant, but we hold that
it is that the sooner our people get wise to the fact
that the best is none too good for all branches o f the
fruit industry, just that much sooner will we get a name
equal to or better than Hood River, be able to command
the best price, and make big money. I f you have in
ferior fruit, feed it to the hogs and keep it otf the mar
ket. It does not belong in a packing establishment, a
cannery, to be sent east, or in the local market.
