Paragraph 37 of the mining regula tions approred December 18, 1903, hive been amended by the secretary of the inteiior to read as follows: "Promptly upon the approval of a mineral survey the surveyor general ill advise both this office and the appropriate lscal Jaod office, by letter, of the date of approval, number of the survey, . name and area of the olaim, name and survey number of each approved mineral survey witb wbiob actually in conflict, name and address of the applicant for survey, and name of the mineral surveyor who made the survey; and will also briefly desoribe therein the locus of the claim, specifying each legal sub division or portion thereof, when up on surveyed lands, covered in whole or in part by the survey." 'It is also provided that when an application to make agricultural en try of the residue of any original lot or legal subdivision of 40 acres, re duoed by mining claims for which patent applications have been filed and which residue has been already reallotted in accordance therewith is made, the local officers will accept and approve the applications as usual, if found to be regular. When such an application is filled for any original lot or subdivision, reduced in avail able are by duly asserted mining claims, but not yet reallotted accord ingly, the local officers will promptly advise the surveyor general's office thereof, and will also report and identify any pending application for mineral patent affecting snob sub division which the agricultural ap plicant does not desire to contest. "The register and receiver will al low no agricultural claim for any por tion of an original lot or legal 40 acre subdivision, where the reduced area is made to appear by reason of ap proved surveys of mining claims, and for which applications for patent have not been filed, until there is sub mitted by such agricultural applicant a satisafctory showing that such surveyed claims are in fact mineral or mining locations, segregated by survey with the view to agricultural appropriation of the remainder, will be made to the register and receiver for submission to the commissioner of the general land office, for his con sideration and direction, and must be supported by the affidavit of the party in interest, duly corroborated by two or more disinterested parties ALFALFA SEED GROWN IN ROGUE RIVER VALLEY Thousand of Dollars Heretofore Sent Away Each Year for Thia Seed Waa Lost Money. Thousands of dollars are sent out of Rogue River Valley each year for alfalfa seed, yet In no section of the United States can it be raised better than here. The reason that farmers imported their alfalfa seed rather than grow it was that heretofore hay has been so high each year that it would not be profitable to let the grata got ripe and out for the seed only. But now that such vast acreage has been put to alfalfa that the supply of hay is exceeding tbe demand and th- re is little likelihood of the old time price of f 15 to $25 a ton will be had again, at least not until the num ber of dairy cows and freight teams is greater than there now is in Rogue River Valley. There was some alfalfa seed threshed in the Valley last year and as hay is likely to be low thia year there are a number of farmers who are preparing to harvest their second and third crops of.alfalfa for seed. The Central Point Herald says that G. J. Post and John 01 well have bought some 200 acres of second crop alfalfa and will cot and hull the same for the seed. The alfal fa seed business is an experiment in this Valley but it is believed ,t will prove highly irofitable. Phould the experiment prove f utii-fiictorT this season Messrs. Olwell and Post will eugiige in the tntue line next season ou a much more extensive scale. She Tried Five Doctors. Mrs. Franees L. Sales, of Missouri Valley, la., writes "I have been afflicted with kidney trouble five years; had severe pains in my back and a freqeeat desire to urinate. Wheat riding I experienced ma oh pain over tbe region of tbe kidneys. I tried five pbysicans without benefit and then ceoclndod to try Foley's Kidney Cure.

All matter for this column is supplied by the Grant Pass Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Treating. When the Saturday Evening Post said that the corkscrew was no' longer the cheif symbol of hospitality it voiced a troth which is becoming generally recognised even in the west where the treating babit has bad its strongest hold. There waa a time when refusal to drink at the invita tion of a friend was taken as an in sult. There are perhaps some few men yet whose misconceptions of hos pitality made them think it their privilege to compel their friends to drink at any and all times bnt the number of these is fast diminishing. The treating custom is growing in disfavor as it should. It is one of the means by whioh intemperanoe is in creased. Men who drink beer or whiskey only when they have a desire for it seldom become drunkards but those who drink because they are ask ed to do o are on an easy road to ex cess. The man who is treated feels nnder obligation to return tbt) com pliment and tbus takes two drinks where he felt no desire for even one. In tbe present state of the publio mind upon the subject of hospitality it would be almost impossible for two friends to step up to the bar and order drinks and each pay for bis own yet if such were the custom as it is in some countries and may some day be in this thero would be much less drunkenness. Perhaps it is not de sirable that treating should be entirely discontinued. There is unquestion ably a manifestation of hospitality in asking a friend to drink. But it is a cheap and oftentimes a hollow form of hospitality and as the Post says the corkscrew is no longer hospitality's chief symbol. Oregonian. The Deadly Cigarette. I advise every oigaretto viotim to bave his photograph taken every year and put side by side in a frame in his room, where he can see tbe gradual, fatal deterioration in himself from year to year. If this does not startle him and bring him to bis senses no preaching will ever do it, tor the pictures will be a sermon more elo- queut than ever came from any pulpit I leave it to others to discuss the moral side of oiagrette smoking, denounce it simply because of its blighting, blasting effect upon one'1 success in life; because it draws off the energy, saps the vitality and force which ought to be made to tell in one's career ; because it blunts the sensibilities and deadens the thinking facnlties; because it kills the am bition and the finer instinots, and the more delicate aspirations and percep tions; because it destroys the ability to concentrate the mind, which is the secret of all achievement. The whole tendency cf the cigarette nicotine poison in the youth is to arrest de velopment. It is fatal to all normal functions. It blights and blasts both health and morals. It not only ruins the faculties, but it unbalances the mind as well. Many of the most pitiable cases of insanity in our asylums are cigarette fiends. It creates abnormal appetites, strange, undefined longings, discontent, un easiness, nervousness, irritabiity and io many, an almost irresistible incli nation to crime. In fact, the moral depravity which follows the cigarette habit is something frightful. Lying, cheating, impurity, loss of moral courage and manhood, a complete dropping of life's standards all along the lines are its general resutls. Magistrate Craine, .of New York City, says "Ninety-nine rut of a hundred boys between the ages of 10 and IT years who come before me charged with crime have their fingers disfigured by yellow cigarette stains. I am not a crank on this sub ject, I do not care to pose as a reform er, but it is my opinion that cigarettes will do more than liquor to ruin boys When you have arrainged before you boys hopelessly deaf through the ex cessive use of cigarettes, boys who have stolen their sisters' earnings, boys who absolutely refuse to work, who do nothing but gamble and steal, yon can not help seeing that there is some direct cause, and a great deal of this boyhood crime is, in my mind, easy to trace to the deadly cigarette. There is something in the roisrn of the cigarette tliut seems to get into the system of the hoy and to destroy all inotHl nher. " Ho gives the following probable course of a hr.v who begins to smoke cigarettes, "First, cigarettts; si cond, beer and liquors; third, craps, petty gambling; fourth, horse racing, gam bling oa a bigger salo; T.fth, larceny; ixtb, state prison.

V. :i - Jit I IUI.I-. .11 li otpm ia;i tvtr th- tt.uutrj o ah kinds of petty thefts and misde meanors which boys commit in order to satisfy the cigarette mania. Another New York City magistrate asys: "Yesterday I had before nie 85 boy prisoner. Thirty-three of them were confirmed cigarette smokers. Today, from a reliable source, I bave made the grewsome discovery that two of the largest cigarette manu facturers soak their prod not in a weak solution of opium. The fact that out of 85 prisoners 83 smoked cigarettes might seem to indicate some direct connection between cigarettes and crime. And when it is announced on authority that most cigarettes are doped witb opium, this connection is not bard to understand. Opium is like whiskey it creates an . increasing appetite that grows witb what it feeds upon. A growing boy who lets tobacco and opium get a hold upon bis senses is never long in ooming nnder the domination of whiskey too. To bacco is tbe boys' easiest and most direct road to whiskey. When opinm is added, the young man's chance of resisting the combined foroes - and escaping physical, mental and moral harm is slim, indeed." Young men of great natural ability, everywhere, some of them in high positions, are constantly losing their grip, deteriorating, droppiug back. losing their ambition, their push, their stamina, and their energy, be cause of its deadly hold upon them. If there is anything a young man should guard as divinely sacred, it is his ability to think clearly, force fully, logically. The Artisan. I DAVIDSON I J. W. York and Ike Vincent paid Grants Pass a business visit Wednes day. W. L. Ireland of your city passed through our little oity Wednesday evening returning Thursday morning. John Bailey, superintendent of tbe Mt. Lion mine, and Geo. W. Bailey were visitors from there to Grants Pass Friday. Mr. Luce who has been prospecting on Miners Creek and Carris Creek left Friday, it being too dry to prospect at the present. Victor Dickey closed a successful term of four months school at Mis souri Flat Friday. He has been a good teacher and any district will do well by getting him to teach for them Tbe weather has been the hottest of tbe season the temperature ranging from 100 to 103 in the shade. It is making the hay grow very fast and lb does not take long from the time it is out until it can be put in the barn. Geo. W. Meek the Davidson bioycle repairer made Grants Pass a business visit Saturday. He is contemplating taking a trip to Sumpter, Oregon, where he goes to erect a Pratt mill for Chas. Richtou, formerly of this place. The Ditch Company got water in the ditch Wednesday and they say it will stay this time as they have a good dam in the river. All the people along the ditch hope so as the hay needs it very much. The second crop is not growing very fast. MONTMORENCY.
