are daily receiving large shipments of

Easterners can hardly realize that
the winter season is at he nd, as they

Saturday and Monday tbe streets of
Grants Pass presented a very lively
aspect, many people being in from
all parts of the coonty to trade and

Work at the Grants Pass Cannery is
moving along nicely, the spray de
partment being run to its full capa
city. "Sampson's Spray" is in great
demand all over Southern Oregon.
As a matter of fact it keeps the local
manufacturers hustling to meet all the
demands for this product.
The Oregon Wool Growers' Associa
tion, whioh was recently in session,
profiting by tbe cooperation idea
which the fruit growers have so suo
oesafully carried out, will greatly re
duce the coat of salt they use, as they

salt well of their own, in Utah.
It looks good to see the big boxes of
fish which are daily sent out of this
city by the Rogue River Fisherman's
Union to San Francisco. Los An
geles, Portland, Seattle aod other mar
kets and it means that there is a nice
payroll resulting therefrom. It is
roughly estimated that fully 1000
pounds are thus sent out every 24
hours.
"Savage's Hall," located ou Savage

R. L. Coe, the merchant is doing
i some most valnabe missionary work
for this locality, by sending back
' east some fine samples of fruit to
parties thinking of coming west.
He also sends them some good adver
tising matter and information
' regarding the fruit growing industry. :
He finds that they are very much in
: terested in the Rogue River section
and believes that many of them will
come here to reside. Such efforts are
moat commendable and it everyone
woo Id do likewise, it would bring
about great reaults in this valley.
Sometimes one bas to go away
from home to learo home news. For
Instance, read this from the Jack
sonville Post : "At the city election
in Grants Pass J. C. Smith won over
L. B Hall for Mayor by 74 votes.
Councilmen are: T. P. Cramer,
James Tuffs, Charles Burkhalter,
Frank Fetich. Extreme bitterneaa
marked the close of the moniclpal
campaign. One of the sensational In
cidents was the forcible ejection of
A. B. Cornell, well known in Jack
sonville, a Hull worker, from the
office of Police Judge by C. H.
Clements. The Hall managers also
had challengers at the various polling I
places, which tended to increase the
bitterness."
