The committee jointly with Charles -Meserve have succeeded in getting this meeting arranged as a farmers institute thos having the speakers expenses paid by the state. As Josephine county has had mote than Its share of farmer! institutes in the past two years Dr. Withcyonibe, of the Oregon Agricultural College, had stated that it was not likely that he could hold institutes in this county this Winter. Had that been the case the Commercial Club in order to se cure this meeting bad proposed to pay the expenses of the speakers. On Mr. Maserve taking np the question with Dr. Withycombe, the latter decided that if the bosinesj man of Grants Pass would co-operate to make the meeting a success that he would bring his foil staff of speakers and bold regular farmers institute. In addition to Dr. Withyoombe the other speakers will be Prof. F. L. Kent, dairy instructor at the Oregon Agri cultural College, E. T. Judd, of Tur ner, and William Rchulmerich, of Hillsboro. Dr. Withyoombe will speak both on forage plants and on dairys and creameries as factors in the wealth of Josephine county. Prof. Kent will tell the roles that the dairyman most follow to get the best results from his cows in quantity and quality of.oream produced and how to keep his cows free from toberoolosis and other diseases. Mr. Judd, who has an extensive frm in Marion county and is one of the largest breeders in Oregon of roistered Per oheron horses and also has a large herd of fine Jersey cows, will tell bow the dairyman " eau uiake money raTsiuB'hows" while not Linrerferino was given by Mr. Honeywell on Fri day evening, seven persons in the con gregation responding and coming for ward. The first three nights of invi tation brought forward 1!I7 persons. Mr. Houeywell is no less forcible iu addressing the unconverted than he is in rebuking the short-comings of church members, and there is a com pelling earnestness in his sermons that, makes his hearers listen whether they will or not. Hh preaches the old time gospel in plaiu words with out nullification and does not li ne down his language to suit finely stinng ears. "Satin" and "Hades" are words apart from his vocabulary. Much of the ellicacy of his pri aching is doubtless due to his straightfor ward plainness. When lie wi-Iics he can draw a word picture of rare beauty and vividness.

Ed. H. Webster, chief of the division of dairying of ti e U. S. Department of Agriculture, and it is expeoted that he can be secured to make an address at the meeting in this city. It was not the purpose of j the promoters of te meeting in this i oity to thereby keep the dairymen of Jospebine county from attending the meeting in Ashland of the Oregon Dairy Assoiation. The fact is that the dairy industry is so little de-1 veloped In Josephine county that no , large delegation of farmers can bej secured to go to Asmann. so is a case of bringing the dairy meeting to the farmers and thus give them the education along dairy lines that they need to enable them to make their farms more profitable. It is expected that the business men of Grants Pass will heartily oo-operate in securing a large audience to greet the speakers and make the effort a success in the development of the dairy industry in Josephine county. According to the following from the Medford Tribune wood must be wood in that town and a wood yard better than a gold miue: "The fact that wood is $7 per cord iu Goldfields is considered worthy of newspaper comment. We can bat that right here in a country famous for timber, with thousands Of acres of wood lands.

A large amount of coin is also shipped, but there is always mall loss In doing that, as the pieces are worn and will weigh- less than when they were new. The stamp of the mints adds nothing to the value of the gold. Imports are occasionally mads in coin and bullion from Great Britain, France, or other European countries.

On Saturday afternoon a meeting was held especially for the young people and on Sunday afte.noon an especially successful and interesting meeting for men was hold in which Mr. Honeywell spoke on th Bubject of "Paying th-i Fiddler, or Chickens Come Home to Roost."
