THE COMMERCIAL CLCB SESSION'.
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

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. Because of a press the same vigorous emphasis that he
for other business, this question was d"J ' ' "leech here last night the

COUNTY AGENT'S
NOTES
Mining Hulls
There is, perhaps, no other prob
lem of greater Importance to the
farmers ot Josephine county at the
present time than that one of soil
acidity. 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.
