FINE SAMPLES OF
GRAIN AND GRASSES
Applegate Farmer Make an Ad
dition to the Josephine
County Exhibit.
J. W. Gilmore is a Josephine
oounty fanner who ia doing bia full
share toward securing agricultural
exhibits for' the Josephine oounty ex
hibit at the Lewis and Clark fair.
Mr. Gilmore conducts the store and
postoffice at Murphy aud also has a
farm at that place. Two weeks ago
he brought in a fine selection of
different kiuds of grain and turned it
over to R. L. Coe, one of the mem
bers of the oounty exhibit committee.
to be sent to Portlaud. Last Saturday
Mr. Gilmore was in Grants Pass again
for a load of goods and he brought
another fine collection of grains and
grasses. He left them at the Courier
office so that -they could be shown to
the visiting editors of the National
Editorial Association, who would
pass through Grants Puss the follow
ing Mouday. The editors being de
laved aud reaching this place late at
night, their train made bnt a brief
stop so the reception committee was
unable to show them auy specimens of
the agricultural products of the
county. The samples, however, will
be turned over to the Lewis and
Clark fair committee aud will be for
warded to Portland.
The five samples are contributions
from Mr. Gilmore, the Hayes
bro'hers, Frank, Engeue and Will
iain, A. M. Bnreh, J. D Wimer and
J. T. Cook, and embrace wheat, oats.
barley, alfalfa, timothy, velvet grass,
bunchgrHss aud wild rye grass. All
the samples are very fine and will
convince Easterners of the fertility of
the soil of Josephine oonty. Some
of the oats are ovor seven feet high
and the wheat six feet high, and
both are unusually well headed. The
timothy would do credit to an Illinois
meadow, while the wild grasses show
what kind of feed is found on the
ranges of Southern Oregon.
Larger Engines for This Division.
So great is the traffic on this divi
sion of the Southern Pacific that more
motive power has become a necessity.
To supply this need it is repoited
among railroad men that a transfer of
helper engines will soon be made.
Tim three O. U. & N. 71 ton engines
that have been here for the lust two
months, running as helpers across the
Umpqua divido between Grants Pass
and West Fork, go to Roseburg, so
the report is, aud will do helper work
on that division north across the
CaUpoola divido to the Willamette
Valley. The Giants Pass division
will bo supplied with helpers from
the Blue mountain division of the O.
R. & N. These are DO to engines
and are thought to be strong enoogl
to get the heavy trains over the stuep
grndes north of this city. New
helpers that are to weigh from 120
to 130 tous each, are to come from the
factory in the East to help the O.
K. & N. ttaius over the Blue
mountains
Passenger traffic on this line of the
Southern Pacific has increased very
rapidly of lute and the regular pas
senger trains are run in two to throe
sections. With the specials that are
run there are now from eight to 12
passeugei trains daily passing Grants
Pass. The freight traltio has also in
creased very largely, and the regular
trains are frequently ran in sections
aud there are also many special
freights run.
Finds cl Rich Placer on Hungry
Creek.
S. M. Weston and Ilia sou, Cecil,
returned Sunday from Siskiyou
county, where they had spent a week
j iu looking after some mining property
they have in that county. On Hun
gry creek they have a voin of 18 feet
and oil Cottonwood creek one of 21
feet. Each of tho veins have been
opened np to au extent sufficient to
prove that they are good prrpertiies
aud will justify more extensive de
vi loptncnt.
While 011 Hungry creek Mr. Weston
discovered an old back channel of
that creek that proscted nuke rich
The placers along Hungry creek have
been worked for 60 years and Mr.
Weston thinks that ho and his sou
have u claim that will justify a
hydraulic, plant, and which will be
a big paying proposition. So soon as
they get their hop crop harvested this
fall, from their yard on Rogue river
! five hiih s hwlow this city, they will
1,-n In Siskiyou comity to spend the
; winter and put iu a hydraulic plant
slid work their Hungry creek placer
property. They will also do some
.development work ou their quartz

I That there is profit in gardens in
the vicinity if drains Pass Is proven
, by llie success of Albert Hood, who
has a mull garden east of town.
1 Mr. Hood from cue-sixth of au acte to
peas has sold SlHI pounds of green peas
11ml harvested '') pounds of dried
'peas, fur which he has realized $10.
This would he at the r te of l-'-IO per
acre. And he secured this big return
without employing fertilizers nr ir
rigation. He had the peas off the
'ground early tuough to have planted
I a late growing crop had he been able
to irrig-ite. The largx part cf the
I veg- talih s used in Grants Psas is
I iniorted from California and Will
amette Valley, though the soil here
is uot excelled by any tectum of the
Pacific Coast and the climate and the
market are ail that a gardener could
desire. Truck farming is one cf t lie
most profitable iuduttriea iu the
vicinity of Grants Pass.

HOP ACREAGE OF
. . ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
Estimate of Last Week Increased
to Give Valley 739 Acres
Bis Crop (or New Yard
In the article published ia the
Courier, of last week, giving sketch
of the hop iudutry in Rogue River
Valley,' and of the acreage that there
waa in the vicinity of Grants Pass,
mention waa omittted of the yards of
both Mrs. Edith Behkopf and of Mrs.
K. fc. Ames. their yards are
located on the south bauk of Rogue
river six miles below this citv.
Mrs. Rehkopf'a yard embraces 28J
acrea and waa all plauted this spring.
The ground is of the best Rogue
river bottom and the vines have
made such a big grow that expert
enoed hopgrowera say that the yatd
will produce 400 to 500 pounds per
acre this year. The yard is iu charge
of Ed Estes, who ia oue of the most
experienced hop growers iu the Val
ley. Mrs Relit opf has 85 acrea iu
this field aud she will probably plaut
tho entire tract to hops, increasing
the acreage ?ach spring nutil all the
laud ia planted.
Mrs. Ames' yard, which embraces
eight acre, adjolua that of Mr. Reh
kopf'a and has been planted three
years. The prospect for s big yield is
very promising and will fully equal
the best yards in the Valley.
Tho total acreage of hopyarda iu
Rogue River Valley, by the estimate
given last week, was 708 acrea, of
which 642 acres were in old yards aud
IA6 iu new yards. The yards meu
tioued above aud which were omitted
from this estimate will iucrease the
old yarda to 560 acrea and the new

leading hop growing diatricta of the
Pacific Coast.
