Modern Methods in Teaching
Book-keeping and business practioe
will probably be taught with much
more satisfactory results in the futare
than in the past, for the Text -book
commission adopted what lis k known
as tbe budget system of teaching.
Briefly stated, this sy tern places In
tbe bands of the puplf- a series of les
sons oo sheets of heavy paper, with
tbe sheets plaoed in a pile and tbe
corners fastened together. Kaon day
the student tears off a page or sheet
and finds underneath the blank forms
of bills, notes, checks, drafts, mort
gages, deeds, eta, that are to be nsed
in the day's work, be can ot get
tbe blanks without tearing off tbe
sheet of paper. Tearing off the sheet
of paper is equivalent to opening his
office in the morning or receiving his
daily mail. Tbe forms 'are "exactly
like those used in actual business
practice, and the transactions are as
mach like those of actual business as
possible. The budget system is used
in most of the busineis "colleges and
In many of the bigh schools of the
country. Its adoption in Oregon is
considered one of the most important
changes made by the Text-book
Commission.

IRRIGATION ASSOCIATION
Continued from page 1
biggest of its kind ever held in Oregon.
By holding it following the meeting
of tbe National Congress at Sacra
mento a very large Dumber of tbe
speakers and delegates at that gather
ing could be induced to attend the
Oregon Association in this city. By
sending a large delegation from
Grants Pass to Sscramento many of
the mou of national reuoun u-uid ht
secured as speakers for the meeting
here and many of the Eastern dele
gates be indured to retard to their
bo:i:es by sy of Oregon and uiuke a
stop in Grants Pass. 1
By having the Oregon Irrigation
meet in Grants Pass and the attend
ance or a big delegation Irom the
National Irrigation Congress it will
give Rogoe River Valley and Grsn's
Pass a spleudid advetisement such a
could not be 'gained by the epxeudi-
ture of ll(X)(l in literature. The
holding of an irrigation convention in
Grants Pass will be the means of giv
ing a strong impetos to the movement
to get an irrigation system for this
section of liogne River Valley. With
the showing of profitable results had
from the small plants in operation in
this valley it will be possible to in
terest capital in the nodertaklng of
tsking water from Rogue river 'and
distributing it bv means of a canal
along earn side of the Valley on the
lands that are naturally very rich,
but now of little value for tbe lack of
water.

The Road to Mule Creek.
Subjoined is an article by Alex
Watts, giving practical information
as to the location of a feasible route
for a wagon road down Rogue river
from Grants Pass to tbe Mule Creek
mining district. Mr. Wattf Is a
pioneer of this Valley and a veteran
of the Rogue River Indian wsrs and
thoroughly knows every section of
this Valley. He states that it would
be no difficult matter to bnild a
wagon road to the lower Rogne river
section and that Ir would not be so
expensive of construction ai to make
tbe undertaking unprofitable:
Murphy, Ore, June lfith, 1907.
Editor Cornier:
I see in yonr last issue that there is
a proposition to build a wagon road
from Galice to the mouth of Mule
Creek with tbe estimated cost of
10,000. As I was employed by the
county In 18(H) to look over that route,
perhaps my experience may be of
sufficient value to pay for publication.
From Galioe to tbe Yank ledge
there it bat little work needed for
three or four miles, then comes the
big canyon of seven miles to
Whiskey Creek, which is the molt
expensive piece of road building be
tween Grants Pass and Gold Beach.
From Whiskey Creek to Mule Creek
there is nothing particularly bad on
ttin north sHo cf tVe rlvr say 13
miles more. I Hlionld lay out the riiad
just above high water mark as to
keep higher up the side of the
n ountain would raise snow lids
besides being lunger and more up
and down hills.

EISNAN BROS. BUILDING
A BIG PACKING HOUSE
Three Stortee High With Capacity
of 12.000 Boxee
of Frutl.
Eisman Bros, are building what
will be oue of the largest and best
arranged fruit packing and storage
houses In Rogne River Valley. Tbe
packing hooee heretofore nsed on
their big orchard, five miles west of
Grants Pass, is only a oue story
structure and was no longer large
enough In whioU to handle their ap
ple crop, which last year amounted
to over 19,006 boxes This old build
ing, which as located in the orchard
has been torn down and the best of
the material is .being nsed in the new
bnildiog. The new building Is lo
cated on the hillside near Fred Eis
man 's home. It is 60 feet square and
three stories high. The first story,
or basement, has stone walls aud con
crete floor and will be used for hold
ing apples in storage. The ventila
tion will be under perfect control and
the temperature and moisture of the
air can be kept at the required degree
to insure the perfect keeping of the
fruit This basement will have
capacity of 13,000 boxes and 30,000
boxes of fruit can be haudlled in
the entire building. The second floor
will be nsed as a packing room aud
the third floor will be for storing
paper, box shook, nails, etc, and
the box making department An
elevator will be used for transfering
boxes of fruit from one floor to
another, but a shute will be put in
for sending boxes and paper from the
wareroom to the packing room belor.
The steep hillside will enable all
three floors to be reached direot from
tbe wagon. There will be driveway
to the lower side of tbe basement and
one to the upper side of the packing
room and the box room will be
reached by an elvated way.
Tbe packing room will be well
lighted and have a stove to take tbe
chill off during cold weather so as to
make It comfortable for the packers.
Every convenience will be provided
for rapid work and for economically
handling tbe fruit. With this new
warehouse Eisman Bros, will be able
tc hold etch Fall m large part of their
apple orop until the rush of tbe mar
ket is over and oars can be readily
had and prioes stiffen. A well equip
ped packing and storing warehouse
is an essential adjunct to every or-
chard and ths fruit growers wbo
build such a house will find it one of
their most protfiable investments.
