He has cherries that bogin to ripen also some very fine pear trees that can hardly support the pears npon them, one pear tree 3 years old baa 30 pears growing npon it. Last year the same tree matured 12 pears. Mr. Webb made a mistake when he first oame here In buying Eastern stock as he only has one plum tree growing out of all he bought from Ne York nurseries and says it serves him right. But ob those straw berries I Elk Valley beats the world. EBEN. ; t WILDE It VI LLE t Mrs. Walter Harmon of Ornats Pass visited friends at wilderville several days last week.

PHONG XJ safnMl s(Afci GRANTS PASS, OREGON. :-5Q Editor Courier: I read "AnonV breezy and aeneible suggestion in re cent issue of the Observer on tbe ub ject of irrigation. "Anon" has struck tbe key note to ultimate suc cess and endless prosperity for Grants Pass and tbe Lower Rogue River val ley. This city bas outgrown tbe country aboormally and is not bs it sboulld be. Tbe present judicious improvements of tbe public roads all over tbe county is one mark of ad vancement in the right direction. Our county court is doing its doty along these lines. The brushing out and straightening crooked roads and tilling np the rats and chuckhoies and making cement colveits in place of tbe shaky and dangerous plank and corduroy make shifts. By improving the road tbe farmer and teamster can baul from 50 to 75 per cent more to town on the same thoroughfare and it makes it possiole for him to me the roads the entire year, whereas before he could only haul about six months in tbe year. With tbe best road bed materials in the world as we do have here, and cliniatio conditions favor able, we ought to have fine driveways in every direction from our fair city. I would suggest, since the proposition to purchase a rock crusher for uor streets was defeated, that decomposed granite be nsed as a covering over tbe turnpiked streets. Tbis sand Is coarse enough so tbe wind does not move it and fine enough tojpack and make per fect roads as it does sidewaks. It is cheap material and easy obtained. Why not give It a trial test? Along witb our road scraper, our oonnty or city needs a good steam roller to pack the newly graded streets and thorough fares. This would prevent dust and belp teamsters and tbe farmers and wben we help them we are telping ourselves as well. Now, as to irrigation : Grant Pass business men are able to organize a joint stock company and make amint of money out of an irrigating scheme ; but tbey won't do it. The city should take the matter up a "Anon" suggests and appoint a committee of practical business men to make esti mates of a new dam and pumps, also to learn wbat a dam could be secured for. A good dam site a mile from the city can be had, where the conditions are favorable for our oity ; both of thete a committee should investigate. Bonds for practical irrigation could doobtltxs be disposed of above par and if left to a vote ought to carry, and I think would be the proper wasy to bave our oity supplied with aboud-N ance of water for fire purposes as well as irrigate a couple of townships joiuiug our town. This would mean 10,000 people in Grants Pass by the time the project was completed. No kind of mining or milling schemes appeal to the capitalist like irriga tion. It makes wealth where before was poverty transforms deserts into beautiful verdure of "green pastures aud still waters," where the dairy niau, horticulturist and agriculturist reap their sine reward tlieituTemeut (or toil. j There is another feature to this Irrigation scheme by the oity. With in live years it will bave paid lor it J self aud the city would have at cost ! at source of reveuue to it -redit from the noiulal .rates for water from prl- vate parties and get the beuefit of using its own water. What will it j have cost tbe oity to use the other (fellow's water duringthe uext M years? Again, what would it mean j for tbe oity to generate power for its own electric plaut? I beg yon foot up , your electric light aud water bill for a period of 30 years and see if we can not And we could save enough to build a new bridge across Rogue River and construct a modern three-story brick ami Jstone county court house. The time is ripe for our commercial club aud city Dads to act I aeooud your motion, Mr. "Anon." Please call a meeting and pnt tbe question. It hardly admits of debate, so v-onld call fot the "previous question." Ques tion! H. B.
