FRIDAY JUNE . 1908. 12 NATIONAL FORESTS. The first step toward carrying out a comprehensive plaa at districting the National Forest In western states baa Jnat been made by the president In sliming executes orders effective July 1, estaolishing tbe Cache and Pooatello National Forest In northern Utah and Southern Idaho. The object of till clan ii to eauallze areas of administrative nniti aud re-arrange the boundaries in such a manner as to promote the most efficient admlni tatlnn. No actual addition to tbe National Forest area is involved in the plan. The Cache forest will consist of the Loan and Idaho divisions of the Ifear River National Forest, and will be administered by Supervisor Wood rnff. with headquarters at Logan, Utah. The Pocatello National For est will consist of the present Pooa tello and Port Neaf National Forests, together with the Malad Division of the Bear River Forest. Theie areas will be administered by Sopervlsor Wrsnsted, with headquarters at Po catello, Idaho. Undir the general plan of redisrict ing 18 new administrative units will be established . from the existing National Forest area. Tbe attempt Is being made by the Forest Servion to reduce the area of tbeadministratlve units to an average of approximately 1,000,000, sores. This will on be pos sible in all cases, as is shown by the fact that tinder the plan of redisrict ing there will be 144 supervisors who will administer more than ISO, 000,000 acres of National Forest area. tilled land contiguous to the city oi Giant Pans which, together with our mioing and timber industries, yield us an annual income of $1,500,000. And these resources have built Grants Pans from a mountain hamlet to a city of 6000 in few years, e per tinently asked what would be the re sult in Bve years if tbe 100,000 acres of uncleared land tributary to the city were put under cultivation with an annual inoome of 1100 to 1500 per acre. The suggestion is one worthy of consideration, and while the estimate may seem large to some it is onn servative to a degree and ihould en list the attention of every resident of Grants Pass and Josephine county. Think what the aggregate would mean. One hundred thousand aores of land planted to fruit at even $100 per acre would add 110,000,000 to the annual in.,m f Grants Pass. This would soon mean a population of 60,000 peo pie for Grants Pass. The natural tffects of such development would bring the proposed electric and steam roads, Irrigation ditches, factories, etc., along with Ibem in their regular count. i Don't wear yourself out with that did lawa mower.

A WONDERFUL FUTURE FOR GRANTS PASS In a recent Interview with W. B Sherman relative to the futore devel opmeot of Joaephise county and I greater population for Grants Pass, Mr. Sherman said, that while he ful ly appreclted the numerous advantages of th proposed electric belt line from here to Ashland, the steam road to Waldo and throogh to the coast and the irrigation projects snggested by various people, and hoped that all tlii anticipations might be fully realized, yet he thought that the time was premature for their acquisition, and iuastnuoh as the Southern Pacific, lu his opinion was giving ample trans portatlou, considering our preseut de veloptueiits, and suggested the do v lop nieutof thorn resources and possibilities whiob now lie at our door, such as the clearing of land aud til'age of soil now in practically ia virgiu slae and awaiting the clearing aud planting to make this section of the Rogue River valley a veritable garden, at the same time the employment will be most re tuunerativ,. He was enthusiastic and confident that tbe electric roads and i grealty increased population would follow, naturally the ntilizattiun of th idle land now tributary to Grauts Pass, and that th conveniences sought are bound to ooiue as a natural sequel to prudent induatry. Mr. Sherman came here six years ago from Traverse City, Michigan, and ha sine been engaged in tbe tlmbe and land business which has given him an excellent opportunity to view the country and carefully judge of the soil, timber and fruit industries. II said "What we want Is the ulenrlug of these lands aud more people here to enjoy the product of the soil thus cleared ; bigger city and more railroad eoainiouioation must of necessity fol low." lie say there'ar now 7,000 acres of apologies to the immortal for workingmcn Levi Strauss Overalls selected denim the two bone bemud If, M "If Sexton, by pure luck, and tbe wild heaves of the Grant Pass boys hadn't stretched a single for three stations; if Pat Dooegan hadn't come through with single right after him ; if Schmidt could have made any kind of a hit in the eighth, with three mea on bases, two out and the Jack aon ville team holding on to tbe weed to keep from going up in th air, the story of tbe Sunday game might have been different, bnt none of these things happened, or didn't happen, and it is writ tbat Grant Pass lost, 4 to 0. "Also it might be inoidentallr men tioned that jonng Mclntyr pitched shot-out ball, aid showed hi class as a coming youngster. Grauts Pass, after the first four in nings, played good ball, bot wet unable to bunch their hits and failed to score on several occasion when a bit would have meant a run. The game oauaed the Medford ball tossers to wake up a little, and negotiation are now under way for a aerie of games dining tbe next few weeks. For the first time since be donned a Medford uniform, when he was so sumll that be had to stand on a box to bat, 'Shorty' Miles witnessed a game from the 'grandstand.
