GRAIN CROP GOOD IN
ROGUE. RIVER VALLEY
Big Yield But We Will Have to
Import Praln Thriehing
Machinery Plentiful.
Lincoln Savage, while filling the
position of superintendent of sclioola
for Josephine, coonty iu a manner that
baa given him the credit of being
one of the beat auperir tendeuta thia
countv ever had, baa time to attend
to a number of enterpriser iu which
he ia successfully engaged. One of
these ia operating a threshing; ma
chine. Thia machine ia a steam
thresher of 12 H. ' P. and he baa
operated It iu Jackson county for
the past nine yeara with headqnartora
at Central Point, which ia the big
grain distriot of that county During
tiiia uiue yeara the machine haa been
under the charge of J. M. Hurley,
one of the beat threshera ia Jackson
county.
Sopt. Savage returued last Monday
from a brief trip to Central Point to
consult with Mr. Hurley. He atatea
thai both the acreage and the yield of
wheat and oata iu Jackson couuty
will bn larger than for severul years
past. Tim graiu yield of Josephine
sounty will also be larger than usual,
hut thia ia not a grain growing county
so that crop ia little of note in the
county 'a Industries. While Jueksnu
raises considerable graiu, yet ita
crop will not nearly supply the homo
demand, an 1 a heretofore, Kogae River
Valley will havo to import largo
quantities of both flour anil feed.
The reason for thia small acreage to
grain ia that the fartnera of Kogue
Hiver Valley find it more profitable
to raiae fruit, hopa, hay, melons and
stock.
To thresh the grain of Kogue
River Valley, requires several ma
chines in additiuu to that of Supt.
Savage's. Glasa Ilros. and Horace
I'elton, of Sums Valley, each have a
steam power machine, but Mr. Pulton,
who ia a large grain ruiaer, does little I
threshing besides his own crop. II. L.
('lute, of Talent, baa a steam power
machine. Un the Apulegute iu Jackson
county OfTunbacher liroa. ami K. Kubli
each have liorsi'iKiwer uuchiiM s. Jose
phine county haa two steam Ihreshies,
that ol 11. S. Woodcock, at Kerby and
of Savage Urns, on I.ouse creek, but
the lutlur tnuciiine has not been ruu for
the last two seasons owing to ao little
grain being grown iu that sect i in of
the county. A horsepower machine is
owned on the Applegatu by Charlea
llurkboldor and Kd. Kwiudeu. There
ia no likelihood of a uew threshing
machine being brought to Southern
Oregon this year, or for some yeaia
to come, aa there ia certaiu to be uo
great increase iu the area to graiu
and the present macbinea are able to
Handle much more than ia now grown
here.

BUILDING COTTAGES
Will Sell or Rent Them Their
Planing Mill ia Now
Complete.
T. W. and J. H. Williams are
running their- planing mil) full
bat only on building orders for
themselves. They are putting Op a
number of cottuges which they will
ell on easy payment or rent. They
now have one cottage erected and the
plastering and painting ia now being
done. Thia cottage it locati d on
Klghfh and B streets and will be oc
cupied by Samuel Williams, a brother
of T. W. and I. H. Williama. Ao
croaa the street frern tbit cottage
aunther one ia under course of con
struct iou, to be occupied by Albert
Williama, another brother.
The mill work ia now being gotten
out in the factory and the lumber
delivend for two cottuges to be
elected ou the quarter block at the
southeast corner of Seveuih and R
strecta. These cotlagea will face 13
afreet and each will be of five rooms
and have bath rooms, closets and all
the other accessories of a complete
bouae. It ia not definitely decided
but it ia likely that Williama Proa,
will erect several more cottages thia
year. Ibeee gentle men are eiteiiHive
property owners both of businejs
block! aa well aa of residences and
they have found their investments
both safe and profitable.
Williama liroa.' factory ia well
equipped for doing all classes of
work iu gett'ng out bouse hills.
There are eight machines and all
kinds of plauiug and turning can be
done. To keep the proper tension ou
handsaw a is a matter that baa taxed
the- skill of millmen. T. W. Will
iams, being quite a successful in
ventor haa devisod au attachment for
their handsaw that regulatia perfectly
the tension under all conditio' a of
work and precludes the possibility
of the suw being broken by being too
tight or too loose. The mill waa
erected this spring and at that was
operated with a 1(1 II. P. gasoline
engine, but additional machiuery
being put iu more power waa required
and recently a 2 II P. steam engine
wus iustullcd to work iu conjunction
with the gasoline, engine. The mill is
only oierated this year ou their owu
orders, but should conditions warrant
it may bo enlarged in the future uud
turn out work for the general trade.
Williama Hrna. are not operating
their sawmill on Chancy creek this
aeasou, aa the lumber market ia aoiue
what slack and they fvel that as lum
ber ia sure to advance their timber
ia a good investment to let it stand.
They have considerable lumber iu the
yard at the mill from last season's
cut, and they have a four horse team
hauling it to their factory yard iu
this city and use most of it in their
building operations.
Copper Matte Being Shipped.
Two six-mule teams ot the Mclutyre

no opposition waa experienced at all
in securing the state encampment for

j contest umong the towns for this
honor but some time ago the Grants
j Pasa Post sent a circular letter to
j every Post iu the state setting forth
j the advantages of this city as a place
for holding the next encampment,
and the further fact that Giauts Pass
and Southern Oregon hud never before
had this favor, file result of this
waa that so many delegates came to

Pass that the other towns hud uo
show and made uo effort to secure the
I rizc.
'1 lie enrollment at the encampment
reached (U0 and the assurance was
given that a larger attendance would
be hud next year, aa ao many of the
