Cider and Vinegar Works.
The Sampson Cider & Vinegar
Works Is the latest addition to the
Industries of Oranta Pass and It bids
fair to be a most Important factor In
the wealth of the city and the county.
The opening 'ot this 'new Industry
it the undertaking of Herbert O.
Sampson, sun of ,11. C. Sampson, the
well known Southern Paclflo engi
neer. For the last three yean Mr.
Sampson was In the employ of the
Government In the engineer depart
ment and stationed at Ban Franolsoo.
Last Spring he resigned his position
and returned with his wife to Grants
'Pass. Several years ago be and bis
father built and operated a older and
vinegar factory at their home on
Fitfh and D streets. Mr. Sampson has
takeu down the old building and
erected a two story structure 24x40
feet that gives ample room for the
boiler, engines, presses, generators,
tanks and storage bins. The equip
ment is of the latest and the plant is
as complete and up-to-date as any on
this Coast. Mr. Sampson has been
making a thorough study of the manu
facture of cider and vinegar and with
his complete plant he is able to put
out a strictly tirsr-olass article. He
is making a specialty of the Sumption
brand of cider and vinegar and both
re guaranteed pure and made of
aounl, clean apples. To supply the
retail trade Mr. Sampson lias cider in
handsomely painted kegs and barrels
that ho supplies the merchants and
when empty replaces them with a
rilled barrel, lie will also put on sale
a fancy brand of cider and viuogar in
bottles for family trade.
This cider and viuegar factory will
miiki) a market for apples, pears,
prunes and other fruit that is poor
shipping varieties ur too small and
will enable the fruit growers to real
i." a fair price for an orchard product
that heretofore has been of little
value.
Hallowe'en Social.
Ghosts and goblins were plentiful
at the Presbyterian Chinch p.ulora 1
Wednesday evening at the Hal
lowee'u social; the white robed
figures performing their parts on the
program in the room dimly lighted
with Jark-o'-latitcrus impressed the
amliciu'o witn somewhat of an uucaii- .
ny feeling ami the song of Misses !
Walker and Bridge, in itself a ghostly '
aud blood curdling narrative set to
music well calculated to chill the i
blood of the timid, held the audience I
spellbound until the final shriek!
which brought many to their feet and
ready to My from the goblin band.
The program also included a song by
little girls aud one by A. K. Voorhlcs.
an original ghost story by Mrs. K. H.
Uiltillan and the " Reason we Never
Married" by six bachelors aud six
maids who were willing to marry but
not takeu.
During the course of the eveuiug
Mr, (iilllllan in her Gipsy costume
made much sport and some silver by
her fortuue telling.
Refreshments were eerved consist
ing of pumpkin pie aud coffee. The
decorations were very novel and at
tractive, consisting of apple por
tieres, sprays of sweet briar and
Jack-o'-Uuterns with an occasional
gold in.
In the program there was marked
musical ability shown as the song
by the little girls wns composed by
Mrs. Giltlllau. and the song by Mr.

SIXTH STREET
FRUIT GROWERS MEETING
AT GRANTS PASS
On Monday, November 12 Every
Farmer b. nd Business Man
Should Attend,
A fruit growers meeting will be
held in Grants Pass under the joint
auspioes of the Grants Pass Fruit
Growers Union and the State Agri
cultural College on Monday, November
12. There will be forenoon and after
noon sessions, the forenoon beginning
promptly at 10 :15 a. m. and the after
noon at 1 :30 p. m. sharp.
The topics will bear directly on the
development of the fruit industry in
Joephine county and are those that
interest both farmer and the business
man. It is the purpose of the meet
ing to cover all phases of the fruit
Industry and to that end the pro
gram has been arranged to cover
large number of topics. Each speaker
will have one particular theme and
oau thus fully cover it in the 10 min
uets that will - be the time limit.
This plan will make the meeting more
instructive and satisfactory to the
frlut growers than a program of but
a few long addresses that would be
tiresome to both speaker and audience.
The only exception to the 10 minute
limit will be the addresses by Prof.
Cord ley and Prof. Lewis, who will
each be given all the time necessary
to fully cover their subjects. As
their addresses will be purely tech
nical and dealing with the planting,
cnltl ration, pruning, thinning and
general care of the trees and of eradi
cating the pests and prevention of the
importation of these orchard wreckers,
the fruit growers will be anxious to
hear all that the professors may have
to say. A question box will be a
profitable feature of the meeting aud
pads of paper will be distributed and
those desiring additional information
on any topio will write their question
on a slip aud place the papers iu the
question box. At the cWe of the
regular v program the box will be
opened and answers to the questions
called for from the professors and
fruit growers.
The meeting was set for Monday so
farmers and business men could at
tend if they desited aud net be pre
vented by the time-honored trading
day of Saturday. It is expe'ted that
all who are interested in the building
up of the fruit industry in Josephine
county will be on hand promt tly at
1(1:1.") a. iu. the hour of opening and
be proent for the entire session.
This meeting will be hitihlv educn-
ioiml aud more practical knowledge
can be gaiued on how to grow fit a
Imix apples aud f? a box pears than
could be had from six months read
ing of books and papers. The latest
lBek of knowledge with the fruit
raisers of this county is in how to
spray aud clear their orchards of the
pests that now render their fruit
unsaleable. The farmer who atteuds
this meeting aud pays attentiou to the
instructions on spraying will be able
to have a clean, profitable orchard
uext year. The fruit grower who de
clares he is too busy to atteud the
meeting or says he kuows all about
spraying will get a disastrous awaken
iug from his seltishut-ss aud egotism
uext Fall wheu he attempts to sell his
fruit for the Uniou is determined
that the couuty fruit inspector shall
rigorously enforce the law aud every
farmer or dealer who ia caught selling
or even giving away sea ley, wormy
or other diseased fruit will be arrest
ed aud fined the full limit of fAO, It
is certain that the fruit inspection
laws will be made more rigorous by
the legislature that meets in January
and the owner who does not spray his
trees at the right time and thoroughly
will have to out the trees down or it
will be done for him and the expense
will be collected from off the laud by
the sheriff. With the certainty of
the law being enforced on them it
behooves every owner of frait trees
to attend this meeting and learn how
to care for them or to waste no time
in usina the ax on their trees and
save themselves from serioos tronble !
and expense. The end is at hand in
Josephine county for scaly, wormy
fruit and the day of the f3 a box ap
ples is at hand and the fruit growers
meeting for November 12 will be the '
dating point for the close of the on-
profitable period and the beginning j
of the money making era to the frait !
grower. j
