The Applegate-Williaws Creamery
has their machinery installed in their
now buidiup and everything In run

iotendent of the construction of the
itew building deserve credit for the
iilau. This creamery Is turning oot a
fine uoality of batter and the future

The Appegate & Williams Telephoue

better when this work is complete.
At the prrsetit time we have fire
Hops running into onr central office
and one ruuniug from Murphy to the
Central office in Orauls Pais. The
only complaiot we bars to make now
is the cros talk from one line to the
other which is so plain we can under
aUtid any oonrertatlon on the oppo
He line. Also would adrise t'le young
ladies and geutlemeo of this oommun

telephone quite so much - as there are
others who wish to use the line
on
busiui'sa and you also know
there are
many tavesilrppers.
We would also
advise those ot older
aire who hare
babies In their homes that our serrice
would be much better i( they would
keep their bahles and little ones from
answering their calls and busing so
much over their phone. If these com
plaints were corrected we would hare

SUMMER NORMAL
Cootloaed from page 1
All persons attending the Summer
Sobool will be admitted to the even
ing lectures of the Chautauqua Assem
bly at a nominal expense. This fea
ture Is worth consideration, since it
will bring within the reach of the stu
dent teachers some of the best talent
of the United States. The Chautauqua
season continues two weeks, beginning
the 12th of July.
The Summer School will be held at
the Normal grounds. Rooms can be
had at the dormitories and board at
the dining hall at a cost not to ex
ceed 13 per week. Persons who desire
to tent in the grove about the campus
may do so.
This will afford a good opportunity
for a Summer ooting that will combine
self-luiproremeut with pleasure. The
Normal campus is vary beautiful since
It Is being improved with wide lawns
by the help of au Bbundnnce of watr,
which has lately been brought from the
city of Aim laud.
The opportunity to study reading
and phonics iss rare one, since it will
be in charge of a lady who acqnirod
her skill and knowledge of the subject
during a three years' oourse in the
Oswego State Normal School of New
York, aud by subsequent experience as
a critio teacher In the Normal school.

GIVE UP MINING
FOR FRUIT RAISING
A. Hamilton Will Irtcreaae
Orchsvrd to 100 Acre
of Apple.
Mrs. George A. Hamilton and three
children arrived last week from ure
goo City to take up their residence on
the One fruit farm that Mr. uainil
ton bought last Winter of J. W.
Hamlin. Mrs. Hamilton is delighted
with Rogue Rlvfr ' Valley aud ea
neriinllv with her new home and the
farm which is located on the bank of
Hogue river and from where a fine
view of Grants Pass can be had as
soon as the Intervening timber is out.
Mrs. Hamiltoo, though from town,
her husbaud until lately being a mer
chiut, is developing into an ' enthu
siastic frp it grower and she aud her
two sons, aged 13 and 15 years, had no
sooner got their household goods un
packed and in place than they began
the work of thinning fruit in their
ornliard. There are five acres of
brge a' ple, pear and peach trees on
the place and they are so loaded
with fruit that it must be thinned
in order to irive the size and color
that is required to bring a fancy
price in the maike. Mr. Hamilton,
while here last Winter planted 17
aores to SpiUenberg and Newtown
apples. Of this tract be put in peaches
in halt of it alternating the rows
with the apple trees. All the trees
have made a fine growth and J. W,
Hamlin and J. W. Heeton, who have
had .charge of the orchard during Mr.
Hamilton's absenoe. state that not
an apple tree is dead and but very few
of the peach trees. The trees in this
new orchard are in hexagonal rows
and as the ground is level and the
rows as straight as a file of Japanese
soldiers the orchard is a model in ap
pearanoe and Ibids fair to be one of
the finest in Rogue River. Mr.
Hamiltoo will make another large
planting this Winter aud will coo
tinue nntil he gets 100 antes to or
chard. He is now in Alaska looking
after the clean-np of a big plaoer
mine that he owns on the Klondke.
He will have that work done early in
July and having sold bis mine he will
retain to Grants Pass by the first of
August and then devote his entire at
tention to his fruit frm.

JACKSONVILLE NOW
HAS A WEEKLY PAPER
No
Paper Published in County
Seat for the Past
Three Year.
Jacksonville, the oldest town and
once tbe. metropolis of Southern Ore
gon that grew op and went down
with onejof the best mining camps of
the Pacifio Coast bas had the dis
tinction for three years of being the
only county seat in the United
States except some three or four
county seats In the South, of being
without a newspaper. Tbe fiction
of a JacksonvLUe paper has been kept
up by Chas. Niokell of Medford, pub
lisher of the Southern Oreonian and
the Democratic Times. Both papers
are published in Medford and when
the Southern Oregouian is off the
press the Medford date Hue in the
forms is changed to that of Jackson
ville, the type of the semi-repubHcan
editorials is lifted out aud staunch
democratic matter inserted and tbe
Southern Oregouian title changed to
Democratic Times and the work of
getting out a paper fur Jacksonville
was completed. Jacksonville has been
waking up of late and is now one of
the most prosperous, as it has always
been the most wealthy town of Rogue
River Valley, and the progressive
element took no the proposition of
securing a newspaper for their town,
Sucoess attained their efforts and last
week the first number of the Jackson
villa Podt was issued bv Sanders &
Overholt, two bright newspaper men
from California. The Post is a well
printed, newsy paper and a credit to
any town. It has though, only a fair
advertising patronage aud a year
hence will prove whether Jackson
ville is able to support a paper or not,
With a paper at Jacksinvillle,
Jackson oounty now has 10 news
papers. Of these Ashland bas two,
the Tidings, semi-weekly, and the
Reoord, weekly; Medford three
weeklies, the Mail, Tribune and
Democratic Times, semi-weekly tbe
Southern Oregonian, and a daily, tbe
Tribune; Gold Hill, the weekly
News; Central Point, the weekly
Herald.
Tha Last of the Gil more Stock.
Mr. Wm. Krnll, the Auditor for tbe
Eilers Piano House is in Grants Pass

Mr. Krull will be assisted by
Mr. F. J. Andross, tbe wholesale rep
resentative and by Mr.. Aug D. Sing

the popular Piano Firm to represent
them iu this Southern Oregon territo
ry. Mr. Siugler will work on a salary
proposition and the publio will now be
able to buy their Pianos and Organs at
Portlaud prices and will oot have to
pay three prices and two commissions
as they have heretofore been forced to.
The pianos that are lu the Gilmore
stock are a far better line than have
ever beeu exhibited aud the prices are
lower by a good deal. Pianos that
have sold her for $300 are being of
fered by the And iter for ('V aud an
other Piano that the Grants Pass buy

Continned from page 1
spite the effort a fund of 500, 000 was
provided by Congress for tbe perma
nent improvement of the National
Foresta This sum will be used for
the construction of roads, trails, tele
phone lines or any other improvement
that will assist in opening np the ter
ritory and patting the land to the best
use. The Forest Service is anxious to
co-operate with settlers and municipal
or commercial bodies that these im
provements can be nude where they
will be of 'most value to respective
oommonities;.in this line we are now
co-operatiug with your body to pot
a wagon road down Rogue River to
connect this valley with the Coast, and
if a practicable route can be found
this road will be constructed to open
op a rich miuiog and stock country.
There are experts of the Forest Ser
vice employed in carrying on experi
ments iu so many different Hues that
are of benefit to the whole people, that
space will not allow me even to name
them, chief amoug these of interest
here is the plant at Eugene for testing
the strength of timber. This is of great
value to those engaged in struct uraal
work. There is also a department i n
gaged in experimenting on the preser
vation of wood where it comes in con
tact with the soil; this is not of as
much value here as in portions of the
state where timber is scarce, or where
the varieties that resist deoey have
been exhausted; but tbe time will
come when it will be of interest. Tnis
branch will, if oalled upon, furnish au
expert in wood-preservation to decide
definitely on the best method to treat
particular timber for any particular
purpose, fence posts, telephone poles,
mine timbers, railroad ties, etc, and
will educate by practical demonstra
tions the use of tbe preservatives.
The Forest Service is anxious to in
troduce this preservative treatment,
and to co-operate with mine owners
or other timber-using corporations
or individuals and in certain sitaa
tioos where the users are clearly en
able to bear the expense, and tbe work
promises to be of value to the entire
community, the Forest Service will be
willing to bear tbe larger part of tbe
expense.
These are only a few of the many
things of benefit which we claim for
the Forest Servioe. There are no
charges for irrigation projects within
the Natoinal Forests or for any other
non-oommercial enterprise of beuefit
to the oommonity or the individual.
Ten per oent of the receipts of the
National Forests go to the Connty
from which the money is collected;
this is not a large item at present, bot
as timber sales are made it will soon
be a source of revenue of no small im
portance iu Southern Oregon, where
from the varied and valuable resources
of the forests the proceeds will far ex
ceed the cost of management.
there is no claim that the present
forest system is perfect; it is being
improved upon all the time, and ex-
