OBJECTS AND AIMS
OF A DOCTORS UNION
Cogent Reasons for Organization
of Joaephln County Med
ical Association.
In accordance with' the wishes of
the American Medical Association,
the profession In Grants Pass have
organized a society to be known as
the Josephine County Medical Asso
ciation, embracing every member of
the profemlon.iu the city.
Primarily, this action is taken, and
the organization made, for improve
ment In the profession. To encourage
study, and research and to raire the
whole profession to a higher plane,
whereby their osefolness to the com
munity may be Increased. The
American Medical Association It or
ganizing the profession all over
the United States on these lines, and
it is expected that in the future the
standard of medical and surgical ex
cellence will be greatly advauoed as a
consequence. Also to promote a bet
ter understanding and closer social
intercourse, and a mutoal helpfulness
of the profession tn each other is
another object.
Meetings will be held regularly
at the offices of the different doctors
io Grants Pass, and it it expected
that papers bearing on professional
tubjoctt will be read, discussed aud
original research encouraged. Among
other things it Is also proposed to do
away with some of the evils that
have grown up in the profession and
have become an jucubus on it.
Among these is contract practice or
lodge work which Is to be done
away with entirely. Bearing on this
point, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
Whereas, There have been frequent
calls on the members of onr sociiitv to
render medical and surgical services
to Individual members or orders,
lodges or societies at ooiitract prices,
such prices being ridiculously small,
aud
Whereas, Home of our members have
been prevailed on to render an Indefi
nite amount of service for a definitely
contemptible foe, therefore,
Resolved, That the Josephine
Coonutv Medical Association hereby
plsces itself oo record as iKjm-tI to
the lodge, or contract system so call
ed. Also in the past, as there has been
no difference between the prices for
day aud night work, it has been
deemed advisable bv the society to
make a small advance in the night
rue. Lttiis mane nctween iu p. m. I
and 7 a. m. will be f'l.fiU, an advance
of $1.00 over a day call, aud country
work in the r.'night time will be
charged for at the rate of tl.BO a mile
oueway, an advance of M) cents over
tlie.day rate. ; Iu the .'last many peo
ple, knowing there was no difference
in price between day aud night, have
aud do deliberately wait until dark
ness comes on and then send for a
doctor, whereas it would have been
much better to send in the day time,
and the object iu this slight differ
ence in the fee is to discourage night
work where possible, and to throw at
much work into the day as can be
done without working a hardship oo
patients. With these two exceptions,
prices will remain as heretofore.
These changes will go into effect
oo, and aftot the first day of Jannary,
lOOfl. The society bat adopted 'the
above regulations after mncb dis
cussion pro tud ooo, the vote for their
adoption being unanimous, and it is
hoped that the people of Grants Pass
and vicinity will approve of the ac
tions and intentions of the Josephine
Conuty Medical Association.

A New Industry Is Established
Sugar Trust to Have An
other Opponent 1
In pioneer days before the railroad
was built and cheap glucose and sugar
refiner) syrup was brought in, the
manufacture of sorghum syrup was
an important iudustry in Rogue
Rivtr Valley, and the bulk of the
syrup ned here was made by farmers.
The industry becoming no longer pro
fitable the farmers ceased growing
sorghum cane and pnt the land to
other crops.
With the coming of the sugar trnst
the prices of all kinds of syrups lias
steadily advauoed in the last fewjyears
until it it again profitable for
Rogue River Valley farmers to again
engage io the growing of caue and
the manufacture of syrup. This sea
son two Applegate farmers ventured
to try sorghum manufacture. These
men were J. T. Cook and J. K. Kubli
of Kubli. Mr. Cook having acres
to cane aud Mr. Kobli about three
fou tht of an acre. 1 heir farms are
in the famous Missouri Flat, the toil
of which it a deep, warm, sandy loam
especially adapted to growing caue
or corn, both of which grows as
thriftly and matures as perfectly as
in the Eastern states. Stalkt of cane
were numerous iu both Mr. Cook's
and Mr. Kobli 'a fields that were 10 to
13 feet high. In quantity and
quality of juice produced this cane
compared favorably with the best that
is grown in the East. Mr. Cook pre
sented the Courier oflice with a sam
ple of his syrup and it is of smooth
flavor, and fairly clear iu color. This
is the first syrup that he has made for
nine years and he was somewhat out of
practice, and his equipment was in
ferior. He expects to fit up iu better
shape nrxt year aud expects to be able
to manufacture a syrup that will io
color aud flavor equal the best factory
product, but without the dangerous
qualities that the latter has.
Mr. Cook has had such a big de
maud for his sorghum syrup that he
will plant a large field to caue next
s asou and go into the business more
extensively. Many people prefer
sorghum syrup to the factory artiole
as the latter is considered by them to
be unhealthy by reason of the chemi
cals used in bleaching the sugar and
iu giving the handsome color to the
syrup. Sorghum is absolutely pure,
as made on the farms, aud no fear
need bo entertained that it will ruin
one's digestion.
If tile sugar trnst continues its high
price on its chemically purified
syrups, and the railroad holds up the
present high freight rates, the manu
facture of sorghum syrup is certain
to become one of the important in
dustries of Rogue'River Valley. Aud
there is a possibility that iu addition
to supplying the greater part cf the
home demtud, a cousi lerable trade
can be built up in the export of syrup
to other sections of the Northwest,
for this Valley is the only paitof
Oregon in which cane can be grown
profitably.
