One of the things that Smith seems to think Is the trouble with southern i. , tw t. tn ' Oregon Is the fact that it is too easy, a country to make a living in." as he expresses it .County fairs give life j to competition and competition brings j endeavor. The county fair is there - . . fore one of the greatest agencies for the developing of a community, and Smith believes In the county fair. He pronounces the Josephine fair aa a fine one, and when he characterises ' -sn individual grange exhibit as the most diversified and as containing the best examples of products of the coO that he has ever seen brought together In a community exhibit, the statement means more than Just so many words. For Smith has seen fairs In all parts of the United States. It Is an endorsement that has quality. Josephine county has now a reputa tion to live up to. Whenever a mine becomes a pro ducer, that Is one that ships or mills Its ore. It Is a distinct asset to the district. The values recovered from its ores represent new money In the community. It Is something pro duced from Mother Earth, and adds to the material prosperity of every resident of the region within the scope of Its Influence. Announce ment thRt another mine Is to become a shipper, and that ore from the Cop per Eagle Is to he brought out over a wsgon road just constructed, marks another step in the development of southern Oregon. Tbe Commercial club has been no tified by President Sproule, of the Southern Pacific, that he will visit this city Friday or Saturday, having heen unable to accept the Invitation to be here during the progress of the Josephine county fair. Mr. Sproule will he accompanied by General Man Ager Scott, the party to arrive by speclnl train from the north. The weekly luncheon of the Com mercial club to be held Monday will he devoted to the discussion of means and methods for the advancement of the mining Industry, A number of mining dm will U flpon the prop-am.

(Continued from page 1.) pany, ho loft no doubt in the minds of hi hearers ns to tho near approach ot continued railroad building, when the new line would be pushed luto the Illinois valley. On the part of the local community, President lAUen of the Commercial club spoke a few words of greeting to the visitors, A. S. Coutant and Father Wall also making brief ad dresses. "Farmer" Smith, of the O.-W. It. ft N company, In an address, landed tbe climatic amiability of the Rogue valley and spoke of tbe agri cultural and horticultural possibilities of the district. The Portland delegation to a man expressed wonder at the things they had seen during the ride through the Illinois valley. The party arrived at Deer creek, where lunch waa served, at about 13:30, and there found the secretary of the Commercial club pre siding over a lunch that approached a banquet. Boskles the fried spring chicken and all the things that go with that article, there were pots of steaming coffoo, Ice cold water, Ice cream, fruits, etc.. that left little to be desired. Tho ride through 1he Illinois valley was a dusty one, as many ore and lumber hauling teams were passed. Considering the heavy traffic that has been upon the road during the entire season, the high way was in good condition, and there were few complaints "by tho visitors at Josephine county roads In general. Every visitor was Impressed, how ever, with tho evidences of industrial activity. The great amounts of cop per and chromic Iron ore being haul ed In from tlje Illinois valley for shipment from Waters Creek proved the oft-made assertion that Josephine county Is fast developing into the leading mining district of the west. Ore souvenirs were carried home by each visitor. The agricultural dis tricts and the lumbering activities also brought many comments at the diversity and the magnitude of the resources of Josephine county. Some of the visitors from the north returned on No. 16 Wednesday even ing, but others are still remaining In the city. Some are trying their skill upon Rogue river trout, and much success is reported. A Ww will make the trip to the Josephine caves. FOOTS CREEK Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
