How to properly observe the open ing ot the new sugar factory was a principal subject discussed at the monthly meeting of the Commercial club held Monday evening. About CO ot the business men gathered at the club rooms and partook of the luncheon at 6:30, and remained for the later business meeting. All were agreed that the occasion of the start ing up of the new factory marked an Important epoch In the history of the City and the valley, and that due rec ognition should be given through a celebration to be staged in the very near future. The flme and the char acter ot the celebration was left in j the hands of a Joint committee of 10 members, three from the city council, two from the county court, and Ave from the Commercial club. The mem bers ot the city council included In the committee are Acting Mayor Demaray and Councilmen Herman and Paddock. The county court is represented by Judge Gillette and Commissioner Llnd, while the com inlttee from the Commercial club is composed of Geo. Cramer, R. W. Clarke, Geo. Sabin, R. L. Bartlett and Dr. Clement. While the plan for the celebration has not been determined upon, it Is expected that all the cities within the scope of the Influence of the new Industry will be invited to participate. An Inspection of the fac tory itself will be a feature of the day, and it 1s hoped to have every farmer and prospective beet grower in southern Oregon see the great Insti tution that Is now ready to 'make ugar. The communication from the Del Norte Development association, at Crescent City, concerning the build ing of a new highway from the coast city to Grants Pass by way of the Smith river route, created much In terest. The request was made in the communication for data to place be fore the California highway commis sion showing the need for the new road and the'terrlory to be served by It, and" also asking for represen tation at a meeting to he held at Crescent City on the 17th Inst. To arrange the data requested and' to arrange for as large a delegation as possible to attend the meeting at Crescent City, a committee of three members, O. 8. Blanehard, " A. K. Voorhles and Dr. Bestul. was named. The county court was also, requested by vote of the club to attend the meet ing, and Judge Gillette and Commis sioner Llnd, who were present at the meeting, stated that they would bo attend. The club also requested the attendance of Forest Supervisor Mac duff and the dub president, with .as large a delegation of others as could go. Many speakers spoke of the ne cessity for the building of the road up Smith river, and Judge Gillette and Commissioner Llnd again stated the position of the rounty court as being In full accord with the movement and willing to co-operate to the fullest ex tent. Judge Gillette stated that the county would forego Its claim upon federal aid for this road this side of the state line and penult all the re sources from that direction to go upon the California side, If the change could be made. He said that the Smith river route would greatly re duce the expense which would de volve upon Josephine county In fu You Can KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality First ture In road building and upkeep, J eliminating entirely the Oregon mountain road. During the progress of the meeting a delegation from the Grants Pass library commission came before the club and presented the question of the proposed new county library. Mrs. Klocker spoke first tor the commis sion and explained the benefit that would come to the county with the organisation of the county library plan, which was already In success ful operation In a number of Oregon counties. Through It, she said, sta tions would he established at every post office In the county, and the re sources of the library would be great ly extended. Mrs. Hair dwelt more particularly with the financial end of the question, stating that it was pro posed to ask that the rounty court make a special levy of one-fourth of a mill, which would produce about $2,000 annually, for the maintenance of the library. The city would then be asked to add $500 to the fund, whereas It was now bearing the cost of the city library alone. The new plan, whereby the value of the library would be greatly enhanced by mak ing many more volumes available, would not Increase the cost to the city, the city and county libraries to be merged. Mrs. Hair also spoke of the plan for the construction ot a Carnegie library building, one of $2S,- 000 value to be requested If the county library was established. The purpose of the delegation In appear ing before the Commercial club was to get the endorsement of that body and to ask Its assistance in getting the necessary signers to petitions to be presented to the county court In asking that the special quarter nilir third and next to last of his stumping levy be made. Following the pre-1 tours. But It U not to be an ana sentatlon by the ladles, the club by ils of Issues raised by submarining unanimous vote endorsed the county library plan. The board of trustees of the club had recommended for discussion In the meeting a proposed change in the plan of the club organization and a possible change of name to Cham- ber Of Commerce.

There la no question but that many of our soils are acid, some of them very acid. I have made thirty tests for acidity this summer. Seven ot these showed no trace ot acidity, nine slight to medium, and the remainder to very strong. This Is a very strong show ing, almost 50 per rent, but' perhaps a greater percentage than will be shown when a complete survey Is made. But it shows conclusively that there Is necessity for something to be done to change this condition. A goodly number of farmers have been applying ground lime stone rock rather indiscriminately during the pant two years and In many cases re sults have been disappointing. I merely mention this matter at this time since soil acidity Is one of the topics to be presented by Mr. Lar son at our movable schools next week. I hope every farmer In . Josephine county will attend at least one of these meetings. These schools will be held at Spence hall, October 1"; Wlldervlllc church, October 18: Williams hall. October 19, and Murphy Grange hall, October 20. It will be a regular school, beginning at S : 4 5 and con tinuing until 4 p. m. Further notices will be published and programs sent out later. C. D.
