The Simmons-Cameron mine of

The Simmons mine is one of the

TO IRRIGATE THE VALLEY.
Office Opened by Advance Irri
gating Comptiny,
The Advance Electric Power Irri
gating & Mining Co., havo opened an
oflice in tho Brown building on Sixth
street, opposite tho court house. This
company is an auxiliary of tho Golden
Drift Mining Co. who are putting in
the largo dam on Roguo river about
three miles above town. C.G. Auient
is manager of the irrigation cuter
prise. He has had large experience in
irrigation matters in Colorado where
ho resided prior to coming hero to take
charge of this enterprise and his
knowledge of the subject is thoroughly
practical.
Tho project is to construct a ditch
which will cover tho valley lands
about and below Grants Pass and will
carry an abundance of water for irri
gation. By the iower furnished by
the dam, the water will thee be
pumped to tho necessary height,
Preliminary surveys havo been made
ou too promised ditch line to a elis
tanee of about nine miles below Grants
Pas Tho company is now ready to
make contracts for water and the
ditch will be built if the necessary
amount of water can be contracted.
To that end, the representatives of
the company are anxious to meet all
the farmers, gardeners and orchardists
of the valley. Work of construction
wilt bo commenced immediately if
the patronage will warrant it.
While the most of the land about
Grants Pass produces good crops with
out irrigation, and some of it is very
productive, yet the productiveness of
alltf it would bo immensely increased
by irrigation. Eveuou the most fertile
of our bottom lands, crops are cut
short by tho dryness of the late sum
mer. With irrigating facilities two
or three crops could bo raised in a sea
son nnd each would bo greater than
tho ono that is produced under the
present conditions. In addition to
this there are many acres of good laud
under the proposed ditch lino that is
too dry to produce good crops without
irrigation. On nearly all of our red
uplands, the moisture drains off
quirk ly in the spring and the hot sun
of summer dries them up before a crop
can get its growth. Ou these lands, a
little water lit tho proper timo would
work a marvelons change.
As an instance of tho value of irri
gation, one of tho orchardists below
town, whose land produces large
crops without being irrigated, experi
mented one year to seu w hat his land
would prod lieu when worked to some
where near its full capacity. Ho se
lected a small piece of ground about
ill by HO foot ill dimensions, watered
it from tho well, and fertilized it.
He raised three crops in tho season
and estimates the value of the produce
,at
An irrigation system properly hand
led would work miracles in this valley
and would be an enormous boon to
the argienltnrai industry.

LEGISLATURE CONVENES
Brow noil la President e-nd Har
rie Spee-ker of House.
The Oregon legislature organized
ouday afternoon with Gexirgo O.
Btownell, of Clackamas county, as
president of the senate and L. T. Har
ris, of Lane comity, as speaker of the
house. Tho caucus of the senate re
publicans took 13 ballots before a
change of ono vote gave tho victory to
Brownell. Brownell's nomination was
made unanimous upon motion of his
opponent, Smith of Multnomah.
In the house caucus, 13 ballots were
required to make a choice. ,Just be
fore the last ballot, Eddy, who had
lost several votes to Harris, withdrew
iu the hitter's favor, and Harris was
elected. Upon motion of Davey,
the third candidate, the nomination
was made unanimous. It is understood
that in making committee appoint
ments Mr. Harris will deal very liber
ally with tho supporters of both Eddy
and Davey.'
At the close of tho organization both
houses adjourned oat of respect to the
memory of tho Into Congressman
Tongue.
Both houses of the legislature havo
put ou their working clothes, and bus
iness can's and discussions have re
placed political cares and discussions
among them temporarily. In the
senate Tuesday 11 couenrreut resolu
tions , ono joint resolution, ono joint
memorial, and 24 senate bills wore
presented and read.
The most important feature of the
session was tho introduction by Hunt
of Multnomah of the Lewis and Chirk
Exposition appropriation bill. The
measure was passed to its second
reading and ordered printed, under
suspension of tho rules. In the house
this measure is iu chargo of Malarkey
of Multnomah, who purposed to pres
ent it in tho afternoon as soon as the
presentation of bills is reached in the
regular order. There is a strong deter
munition upon the part of the Multno
mah delegation to expedite action ou
this bill, and no prospect of opposition
Ints devehqied so far.
The senate passed tho house
concurrent resolution providing for the
preparation of a suitable testimonial
of tribute to tho memory of tho late
Congressman Tongue. Myers of Mult
nomah introduced a bill providing
for a free ferry at SollwooiL A
large number oftho measures present
ed and read were of minor importance
The victory of the Fulton foroes in
the mutter of tho organization has
been accepted iu the best of spirits by
the vanquished, and to nil outward ap
pearances harmonf prevails throngh
nut tlin republican ranks. Both Pres
ident Brownell and SK'aker Harris
have already demonstrated that they
are well qualified for their respective
positions, and there is every prospect
that tho work of tho session will pro
ceed expeditiously from now on.
The Lewis and Clark Exjiosition
bill was presented iu tho house by
Malarkey, of Multnomuh, Tuesday af
ternoon. The bill was passed under n
suspension of the' rules to tho second

Its a Winner!
Our RED TAG SALE started off Monday, Jan. 5tb,
with a very lively trade and the buying ever since has been
active and without abatement. Many people who came
"just to see what we had," and others, who "were afraid it
was a fake sale," looked at the goods, bought them and
left the store fully satisfied that we are doitig just what we
adyertise to do. Some who came to buy only an overcoat
' bought a suit also, because, as they said, it was too good a
bargain to let slip.
WE EMPHASIZE
We do not expect to make any proGt on this
sale. Our sole object is to TURN THE
STOCK INTO CASH. WE WANT THE
MONEY!
We have just received a line of Oregon Cassimcre Suits
and in order to further stimulate the RED TAG SALE we
