Talking bout fresh berries and fruit bring gathered in Oregon at Thanksgiving .time, as was the case h're in Josephine county, tbe Courier ' can tell of ome of the finest of Tokay grates which grew in the yard of O. H. Sampson, corner of Fifth and C street, Grant Pass and which were gathared on New Year's day. Thev were dtcidtdly delectable, as the Courier force can well attest and were pronounced first-clan in every par ticular. And there were more where these came from. Mr. Sampson i tbe cannery man and makes specialty of looking out for fro it of all kinds, but nowhere has he found any nioer grapes than those grown in bi own yard. W. S. Barrie, after trying his best to make dairying fay in this re gion, has concluded that be can do much better growing fruit and he ha therefore purchased choice 15 acres of suitable orchard, land here in the dge of the oily, out on Sixth street and now he will proceed to try hi hand in this line of work. Be is very enthusiastic over the matter and see a great future for this industry in this favored valley. Commenting upon the movement of tbe Josephine county fruit growers to name their respective farm the Lakeriew Herald has this comment to make: "While the above will be all right, no doubt, in Josephine county, we should think it would be a good plan to use here In connection with th Ftoit Growers' Union. It would enable each grower to get credit for hi labor and would also create demand for his log bis name en fruit, aa by bav his boxes it would guarantee the purchaser against get ting bad fruit, and as the Oregon iao lays, if your neighbor shipped (cab by and wormy apples, h would get the credit, and Dot the whole comma nity." County Fruit Inspector Elimann Is flndlog that bis i no child's job and that th,e undertaking of trying te latisfy everybody is truly a gigantlo on. But be feel confident that in theday to oome ome people who are aot feeliag like blessing blm, will think mor favorably of hi efforts to better tbe fruit conditions in Jose phlne coonty. He propoes to do the square thing by the growers, as nearly aa he can and it be make mistake, be says tbey will be of the "head and not the heart." for he is conscientious In the matter, even though some fo'ko are inclined to misconitrae his motive.

One psry insists on sacrificing old names snd substituting such misfits as Aji avenue, Neptune avenue, Venus avenue, and so oa, for Hone Brook road. Old Shell road, Feather Bed lane, and tbe like.

Harmeling & Sons, who have been engaged In the noriery business, very extensively and successfully, at Vaslion, Wah., are the people who are proposing to start up the new industry which is certainly much needed in this region. One of tbe sons has been in Grants Pass for (he past week, going into details and gathering information, which shows conclusively that they propose to go in with tbe idea of giv ing tbe people of this valley an np-to-date nursery. He state that tbe firm hss practically deolded to oome here and that now about all that is lack ing is Ithat tbey secure the minute details which they find are neceessry.

Arm strong has been engaged for some time in making ao examination of the orcharda of Marlon oouoty growers and is now serving formal notioe on those whose orohards were found to be affected, calling on them to clean up their tress, spray them and take such steps as are necessary to prevent th spread of any affection which the trees msy show evidence of having. Mr. Armttrong states that there i considerable Baa Jose scale in the oouoty and that no paina will be spared to keep the pet ander control. The inspector states that wbile it is too early to say with certainty what next year's fro it crop will amount to, there is every indication that it will be larger even than tbat of last season. Mr. Armstrong baa compiled some interesting figures on the vslue of the Marion county fruit crop for the past yesr. the Run, tae fl:ir body would lieglti to shlue by reflected light.
