FRIDAY APRIL 8. 1K08 The automobile waion la ojiun and Grants Pass is la the swim. "Fighting Bob" seems to have stab bed his too against the J oat In the "trip around tb horn" but willpend only a row days at Sun Lois Obispo after which he will assume coinmaad of the fleet again at San Diego. From all general indications it would eocin that Grant Pan will, af ter the Jnse election, be numbered among the "dry" towns of Oregon. Grants Pass has excellent schools and churches and the standard of Intellect and morality of the oity are certainly indicative of a majority at the pulls at the next election ,in favor of no saloons. The paving of Sixth street would be a most attractive advertisement, for Grants PaHS and a month after the Job was done a largu majority of the people who panned through here on the trains would be boosting for the town because of Its manifest enterprise. Most all of them wonld say Grants Pass is "up to now," and then any other people outside wonld sit np and take notice. Grants Pans has long sinoe outgrown hi r short dresses, aud is known as a oity aud the numbering of the booses is au enseutlal improvement In the linn of modem progress. The num bering of the houses is also Imperative If the city shall enjoy the othei city air to which she is entitled free mall dtiliveiy.

PREPARING FOR WAR UPON CODLIN MOTH Fruit Growers Association, tCrt tlntfe Fliperl to Learn W Ken Spraying Is to He Done.

It has been demonstrated time after time that a delay of three days will render useless spraying for codlin moth snd It has been proven that spraying loo soon was equally as oselesi. As (he codlin moth varies in the time of its appearance it takes an 6 1 pert on its hahits to tell just when is the right time to spray the trees to kill this pent The winter aud spring weather conditions affect the period at which the first brood of moth hatches out While one spring the 1 0th of May might be Just the right date to begin spraying for the moth yet the next spil'ig that dste might be five or 10 days too loon or too late. The fruit growers of Jackson oonuty are to no longer dependent opou guessing as to the time for the first spraying for codlin moth for they have arranged that their fruit Inspector, G. W. Taylor, observe the development of the moth io its larva and pupa sta'e and thus learn at about what date in the spring the full fledged moth will make its appearance and begin laying Its eggs. Mr. Taylor has been carlyng on these experi ment for several years for his own information and be .s held by the leading frolt growers of that coonty nd by Prof. Cordley, entomologist at the Agricultural College, to be one of the best nested men in Rogue River Valley on the bab'ta of the codlin moth and now that his services have been secured by the frnlt growers of Jackson county they will be able to know the exact date when to begin to sprsy for the moth. The Grants Pass Frolt Growers Association has taken np a similar work for the frolt growers of Jose phine coonty and the recent meeting of the Absolution arrangements were made with H. O. Batehan to observe the development ot the spring brood of rodlin moth and also the latter broods and notify the growers as to the'dste when they should spray. Mr. Iiatehara has made the cages and is securing a qaautity of the cocoons and he will piaoe them In the normal weather conditions so that they will develop simultaneously with those in the orchards. So soon as he has as certained the date that moths will appear be will give notice to the frnlt growers thrnogh the county papers to that effsot. It will behoove lrult growers wno do not want to suffer a loss from wormy apples aod psars to have their pumps io order and a sup ply of arsenate of lead at hsnd so that they raa begin spraying promptly on the date when the most effective killing of the pest can be made. Mr. iinteharn is one ef ths recent arrivals io Josephine county and he lias bought a fine tract of fruit land in Fruitdsle district, two miles southeast of Grants Pass and will soon .move to hie new home with his family, they now rest ding in his city. Mr. Iinteharn Is Iroui Hood Hiver where he was one of the leading nurserymen aud fruit growers of that famous fruit district, lie was also deputy county fruit in spector for Wasco oouuty lat Ji'itr and he is one of the beet posted men iu Oregon on the various pests t tint prey upon the froits and terries in this state. Now if the fruit growers will avail themselves of Mr. Pate hniu's knowledge they can avoid the heuvy Ions from wormy fruit that liny have heretofore suffered and thereby add very lurgely to the profits of their orchards.

Antagonistic to the verge of bitter ness, remnantf of the old machine which once dominted Oregon politics liavs taken op the fight for the de feat of Statement No. 1 snd all who favor that method In Portland and other larger cities of the state, the machine crowd is centering its right upon H. M. Cake, candidate for the Republican nomina tion for United fctates Senator. Mr. Cake is a firm believer ia the popular election cf United States senators and because of his belief in the eo pie, has Incurred the enmity of the old machine politicians. Those who are close to the sitoatioo however, believe that the machine fight against Mr. Cake, is the best thing that could happen tr his campaign. The people of Oregon expresied by their adoption of the primary law and Statement No. 1. what they thought of machine methods. The old system had brooght shame snd disgrace upon the state had made the city of Salem almost a Gomorrah in the way of po litical wickedness. Periodicals and newspapers of national 'circulation pointed to our state as one of sodden political corruption, of disgraceful scandals. It Is lo the hope of reviving this old method by the defeat of Statement No. 1 and of Mr. Cake, that the ma chine politicians have started such a bitter crusade against this new law. Indeed, it is their only hope. Under the present system, they are without a Job. It is impossible for a dictator to sit in bis office and say what shall and shall not lie done by the peopl of Oregon. No longer is a laturoa lia of bribery and corruption possible at Salem. Evidences of this hospitality on the part of the "system" have been sp parent in various towns where Mr. Cake has spoken during his present Itiosrary. Large crowds have flocked to hear him, but conspicuous by their bsence, were the old-time leaders. And in this connection it is a fact worth mentioning that most of these antagonistic politicians are either office holders or have some claim up on those Who are at present in office. The people who are rallying to Mr. Cake's standard are those Kepnblicani who are intensely loyal to their party but who resent any such dicta torial methods as the old machine was wont to me. It is a foregone conclusion that Statement No. 1 will prevail io Ore gon at ths coming election. It is slso a foregone conclusion that Mr. Cake, the only real active supporter of this measure will be elected if the repub lican voiers of this stAte do thsir duty and there is no room for doubt bat that they will perfoiui that duty.
