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

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.

KERBY
The sudden death of Mr. Walters
near Holland on Friday was a sur
prise to the people of Kerby, but
scarcoly had one become reconciled
to the shock when word was received
that Mr. Peterson, an old gentleman
who had been a resident of Kerby for
some years, was found dnnd In the
haymow of Mr. Payne's barn. The
old man had not been feeling well

found his way to the haymow Satur
day evening, and when Mr. Payne
went to do the chores he found the
body, life being extinct. Burial oc
curred on Monday, In Odd Fellows
