Life Insurance va. Unfermented Grape Juice. "Do you know, that while a life insurances man was boring his old line, double acting, automatic talk yesterday, I got an idea of bow I can beat bis proposition a mile, witb an fermeoted grape juire," said a promi nent citizen to W. B. Sherman a few day a since. "Well 1 know that onrermenteu grape juios is great stuff, but it will nave to go some If it beats the life into ranee man, Mr. Sherman replied. "It can do it," tbe other assured. "Here's the plan. It's a plain pro position J net a simple little problem in arithmetic. Tbe life insurance man was after me to take out a $10,000 20-year endowment policy. Now I haven't got anything againat his insurance, it is all right, bot I am limpy telling you that I can beat it with nnfermented grape juioe. That 20-year pnlicv woeld cost me $300 ajyear, $8000 for 20-years. Sop pose I buy 10 acres of granite land north bill slope, right here near the city limits of Grants Pass. It would not cost me $400 an acre. I could plow, prepare and plant it to Concord grapes for leas than W an acre. The average cost of caring for tbe land would be $15 an acre or $150 a year, or full care for 20 years for t-'JOCO. which ts just half of what tbe life insurance policy would costme. Ihe full cost of 2 ' "- ana IUU Care I0T W I I ilnli iliil.lnl.Ii.l. l.iT.ilnl il I II V j"s woma be less than ftfinnn T . .let bt returns I would a pi in tut meantime, Natal th rail way I oonld nnllvrt n n .v.. ml imuraooe proposition would be to die or lose a leg, arm or some other orfion of my anatomy that we can't ery wtll spare. "But you know the third year the JO acre of Concord grapes would produce $1000. and the fourth year $-'500 the tilth $4C00 and the sixth $5000, and $500 a year for the nest 14 y-u. Ti e vineyard at the expiration or thit time wuuld at lat be worth $200 per aote as it would be raying $25 per cent ou that amount. I woalaVt have to die or givw up some valuable portion of my body to gt returns. Haven't I got the insurance man beat en 83 miles? Say. I wouldn't have to live very long to become a millionaire would L on those ten acres of grapes? buiuk viiurungniy into me cosi ness, I could evm beat them io a year. I knOW of flAtAml (man finua Has. Grants Pass that prodooes from a half a ion io one or grapes each year. You can safely figure on fiv-j tons per ac re, and a tou of Concord grapes will make 213 gallon of grape joioe, which retails at $3 per gallon allowing a clean 60 oents per gallon net to tbe grower which will given him $500, per acre. I think I could grow just about 1000 gallons of grape juice to the acre and not try very hard efther. Bat I ha-l better nop, these figures make me dixzy.

Yon may put your pin money in the life Insurance, but I'm for tha uufer mooted. Rogue River Valley haa nrovan limit beyond a doubt as being a natural home of tbe grape. Readers, were you to come and see the wild grapes grow ing in th woods and see how large they grow, and bow heavy they are loaded witb fruit every year, von would be convinced of this fact with out any further proof. Z Alter looking over tbe many places where grapes are being cultivated, all around Grants Pass and convince your self of the qoantity and quality of the grapes we are growing here yoa will say that the Editor of the Bnlle- tin is too oonseryarive in his state ments. You will also find that there has been more new Uods cleared and planted to fruit around !Grants Pass in the last year, than there haa been in the last 10 years. And again you will find that 90 per cent of the clear ing and planting done bare in the past year was done by our home people. loe outside worm Is Jest beginning to learn of our little valley and Its ad vantages and olimatennsurpawed. xoo may ask yourself wot? Beoause our locality most be filled by people from the East. How can they get here? They have to come either by oue of the northern or southern roates which lands them either in Portland or San Francisco, or Los Angeles and wun tne oomomation or workers there in each of those localities, each working to locate people iu bis own neighborhood, for bis own neigh borhood, get hold of homeseekers, it U a scratch if a man finds bis way to the Hogue Kiver Valley. It is almost the same as running the gauntlet. They will tell you that the climate and con ditions are oo better in the Rogue River Valley than any other part of the ooast If they have never lived in tne Rogue River Valley one year, they may be henest in that belief, however, if they or yon would spend 13 months in thi valley yon would join ns in singing praises for our olimatlo con ditions. You see our little valley of about 60 miles one way by 100 tbe otherway,is completely surrounded by moutains wbich gives it a climate peculiar to itself. You will make no mistake by buying your ticket to Grants Pass there tbe climate is very near that of Italy and where the fruit industry is yet in its infancy.

"Fascinating" and "Clever" are some of the milder adjectives the critics employ to describe the acting of Georgia Harper, who will appear In tbe role of Nell Gwynn during her engagement here next week.

The beginning of the play finds Nell selling oranges on the streets of London, she meets the King and tells him what a rogue he is, not knowing that she was talking to nis Majesty Neli loves one Sir Roger Fairfax, who has been banished from England through tbe influenoes of a prime minister who held an old grudge against Fairfax's ratiier. He also ao cuses him of an attempt to aaainate tbe King for which be is tried and condemned, but is sayed by Nell who baffles the ylllian and wins bo King's love. Nell laughs ber way into all of tbe complications and then as easily oot of them again, she is gay without being frivolous, light and bright, alto gether so captivating that everyone ia delighted to seo her bappy ia the The management "is" "making a feature of this play and one will see correct costumes aud scenery for each and every act.
