C. F. Cardwell, who lately pur
cbaitd the J. D. Wimer place, near
Mnrphy, (his week finished delivering
his apple crop to the Grants Pass
Fi'ait ;Orowers Aisociation, of which
be had some 2000 boxes of fine pro
duct. Mr. Cardwell is a thorough
orchardist, who was formerly located
in the famous Yakima valley. When
he left that region he carefully looked
over the Hood River region, aa well
as elsewhere and then came here, and
decided that this was the best place of
all, as it has the climate, as well aa
being admirably adapted for the rais
ing of fine fruit, while the price of
land la so mnoh more reasonable.
He proposes putting in a large num
ber of new trees this winter and next
season be will have some exception
ally excellent fruit for tbe markets.
This week the Grants Pais Fruit
Growers Association is preparing to
ship another car of mixed apples to
the New York City market, as well
as a car to one of the coast cities,
whiob will be decided upoa later.
The members are pulling together
nioely and they feel that this is but
another instano of where "Io Union
There is Strength,." and they realize
that if they can but once seen re a
good footing in the big markets and
become recognized as a place where
only good froit is grown and offered
in tbe large markets, that then it
will be comparatively easy sailing.
Until that time tbey will have to
labor to overcome any false impress
ions which mar exist in the minds of
the eastern boy en.
J. H. Robin too and sons. Claade
and Lester, wbo have a maiuifioent
farm on the Applegate, near Wilder -ville,
and who carried off so many
valuable premiums for having fine
cattle, bogs and turkeys, at. the re
cent Rogne River Industrial Fair, are
also successful orchard iita. They
have jus been having the Association
ship a ear male op entirely of their
splendid 'apples and they expect to
have another car ready pretty aoon
for shipment to the Naw York mar
ket. They are doing moch to demon
strate tbe great success which attends
the efforts of th intelligent, energetic
farmers who are fortunate enough to
locate in this valley.
'
Peter Pirzer, the well known owner
of the "Hugo Heights Froit Farm,"
was at the county seat, this week, se
curing a large inrply of paper, boxes
and tbe like, preparatory to shipping
a lot of his fine Spitzenberg apples
to the New York market. Mr. Pirier
ia credited by expert fruit men, who
have visited bis place, with baring
the most excellent orchard in all that
part of the country, in the matter of
its appearance and what is more his
orchard ia locitted ou tbe bill, at ao
elevation of 1700 feet above sea level
snd it it olay land, at that. The soil
is a mixture of blick granite and clay

bis melons easily tip the scales at
from 60 to 75 poonds, each.

hood. Mr. Hampton is teaching the
school at Wilderville where he is re
siding for this winter wiih his family.
In the spring he will return to his
farm in tbe Illinois Valley near Dry-
den, where be owns 420 acres of fine
fruit land located ou Thompson
creek. This land Mr. Hampton ac
quired four years ago, part as a home
stead and tbe remainder br purol'ase.
His vacations from teaching he puts
in on bis place and by hiring some
help be has a substantial beginning
to a farm made.
Mr. Humpton made his first planting
of fruit trees two years ago last win
ter and this seasoo many of tbe Spit
zenberg and Roasisn Red apple trees
bore fruit. Some of the trees fruited
as high as 2I to 30 apples but he
pulled them off until there were but
a few to each tree and not leaving
over seven to a tree. Next year he
will allow not over 15 apples to the
tree as lie wants the trees to make all
the growth poasible. Mr. Humpton
made a small planting of trees last
wimer and he will this winter set an
acre to Bartlett and Cornice pears and
six acres to Spitzenberg aod New
town apples. i
The new course of study tba' pro
vides that ajiricultuie shall be added
to the brauche tauuht in thn tchools
of Oregon is bi artily approved by
Mr. Humtitou. He now baa a i'Ikkb

ville and the boys and girls are tak
ing great interest in learning scieti

called at the office of Mauagt-r Me
eerve of the Fruit Grower Associa
tion, aod got a large numb r rf tbe
bulletins ioued by the Oregon Agri
cultural College and by the Depart
ment of Agriculture of which Mr.
Ueserve has some -10 different kinda

U of the opinion that evr sobool
will have a plot of groand iu tddition

voted to trees, shrubs, vegetablas and
flowtrs to give the scholars piaciiml
lesions in agriculture. And t lie dis
trict high schools, now possible to the
rural districts nnder the new law
by the joining of two or inoredis
tncK. will give more attention to
teaching industrial subjects than to
the daisies and origioal langoagfs as
Is now done in so many of tbe town
high schools. He wiabda that all
high schools had a plot of ground
and a work shop so that lbs students
could be given practical lessons in
agriculture aod mechanical arts. Of
course tbis woald be covering tbe
eame line of work as tbat dooe at tbe
atate agricultural colleges, but it ia
necessary that the high schools teach
these branches as well as th oollegns
for tbe reason tbat not to exceed oat
per cent of tbe obildren wbo enter

NEW CANNERY MAKING
WIND UP OF THE SEASON
This New Enterprise Ha. Proven
lo Be One of Much Promlee ;
and Considerable Profit
This season's" pack" has about been
cleaned up by .the Grants Pass Can
neiy and now the goods are being
labelled and harried to the large
markets, where there is a big demand
for them. Mauager Sampson has
every reason to feel greatly pleased
with the result of the season's work.
Although somewhat baudicapped for
lack of adequate equipment and
cramped for room, yet be has made a
truly remarkably good showing.
Ye scribe ran attest to the fine
quality of the superb jutles that have
been put up, for he aud his family
had occasion to sample tbe same,
which ws pronounced most excellent,
as wss also the choice tomatoes
which were likewise tried on the
table, and whith proved to be very
t cthsi tne. Now the tpray-niaklng

N"nuiier Shiiiiwou is enthusiastic
over what baa been doue and he ia
rerv auguiu about the future auo
oi- if tbi undertaking. He says that
even the moat akeptical growers of
fruit are now convinced that it is a
splendid investment and they are
tluding tb it it is making money for
eveiy oi.e of them. One grower,
alone realized about HO0 off hie pro
ducts this reason, with many others

plan for next season and wilt improve

FISHING SEASON IS
NOW IN FULL BLAST
Local Fishermen's Union Sle.r1e
Out tor What Look Like a Very
Successful Seeaon'e Run
Today the "open" season for "gill
fihing" In the Rogue River com
mences and the indications point to a
good run of business for the members
of the Grant Pass Fisherman' Aa
sooiatlon. H. H. Groisaut ia presi
dent and A. Aubery is secretary and
manager of thia organuatioo. Secre
tary Aubery informs the Courier thai
although last year was the first season
or the Association, the results were
very gratifying. Some 73 member
joined and they found 'that whereas
they had before been able to get only
about three cent per pound for their
catoh, yet laat aeaeon by shipping
together they realized a naverag of
6l4 cents per pound all through the
lesson. Aud what was bet tar, they
were enabled to get very prompt re
turns from their ahlpmenta to Lo
Angelea, San F'anolaoo, Portland,
Seattle and other large cities to which
they ahlpped their output Some of
the fiihermen who did not join the
aeaoolatlon have net yet received pay
for ome of their laat season' ship
ments. Secretary Aubery said that the mem
took pointers from the way the fruit
growers had banded tneuueive to--
gether and had found tbat tbey could
do mnoh better by etandlng together.
Another important thing which it bai
aocouipliehed ha been to stop people
from violating the fish law, aa each
member of the Association is bound
to see to It that the law 1 enforced.
The Aeaoolatlon find that it can
secure Its equipment so much cbeapor,
by ordering in (large quantities. In
stead of every tuan "going it alone,"
heretofore. It ha ordered $400
worth of material for shipping boxea
and other material accordingly.
On the whole, the Association mem
bers are highly pleased with th good
work It has tho far aocenap'ls'ied aod
they are now expecting still better
and larger -return this season than
they had last year. "1
