APPLE GROWERS WILL
SHOW MUCH FINE FRUIT
ktlon&l AppU Show Will
Vast Amount of Good to
the Industry.
Do
The National apple show to b beld
at Spokaue, Washington from Decern
ber 7th to 12th, 1908, will be an im
portant affair to those engaged in
apple culture. 126.000 will be given
in prizes. 11500 of which goes to the
owner of the bent car of apples. A
letter from E L. Stewart of Prosser,
Washington, one of the best known
applegrowers of the northwest says:
"I will certainly enter the contest
with a carload of apples. It shuis to
me that tills is a grand opportunity
fur the different apple districts of toe
Northwest to how their faith in the
olaitus of growing superior apple.
"I think the matter should be brought
to tliu attention of the commercial
clubs of the different districts, with a
view of taking the matter np and get
ting the best equipped grower in each
dihtrict to enter tiie competition.
"It is certainly the bent opportunity
the West ban ever bad of sbowiag to
the Kant that we are really growing
olioiie apples on a commercial scale,
and at the sama time, convince trein
that we leud the woild in our GRADE
and PACK.
"I would prefer to be in competi

with only two or three, aud if it could

tanged to have an auction sale of the
exhibitions of this class, on the last
day of the show, aud the buyer would
land bis , purchase in the eastern mar
ket iu time for the holiday trade. I
believe this could be worked up to be
the most important feature of the
show, and as the apples would all be
the "Cream of the Northwest," I
thiuk they would sell at prion never
before heard of in any country.
"The parties making exhibit in
this class would be running no risk
whatever, for if tbey put up meritor
ious fruit In good shape, it is cer
tain to sell at a price to more than
repay the extra expense of maknig
exhibit, without taking into consider
ation the prize moner at all.
"The oompetition cannot fail to do
a vast amount of good to the whole
country, for it should bring out the

President Asks Larger Army.
President Roosevelt, iu his fiual
annual message to congress, propahlv
will recommend an itu-reuse in the
nimerUMl strength of the army to at
least 100,000 men. At present the
army is ou a footing ct tlo.OOD men,
the number provided for iu time of
peace. To the general sUn it hs
become evident, in the last two years,
that (10, 000 men are too few properly
to garrison the post at which it is
necessary to maintain an armed force.
These posts iuolnd i the garrisons in
the insular possesions of America.
The law provides that the army
may be increased to 100.000 men in
time of need. This provisiou in the
opinion of military experts is likely
to prove a serious handicMi to the
army If absolute necessity should
arise for a larger force. It is expected
that the president will tecomuieud
in his uiexsigtt an increase of the
army by the addition of at least 10
egiments of Infantry, live regiments
of cavalry aud scleral companies of
coast artillery.

ROOSTER CLUB ANNOYED
BY RAILROAD COMPANY
The members of the Roosters Club,
which for some years tast have fat on
tbe fences along the railroad parks on
Sixth street, and amused themsevles
by expectorating on the sidewalks
and commenting on the ladies who
passed by, are much annoyed be
oause the Ruadmaster's department of
the Southern Pacific has s en fit to
replace tbe wooden fences with iron
with sharp points on the upper side.
The Roosters are not only annoyed,
but practically pot cut of business as
far as thesu streets are concerned. It
has not beu announced as yet where
they will make their next head
quarters. The people of Grants Pars
generally (outside of the Roosters
Club) are greatly pleased with the im
provement. Those Gun Metal Scoffers are tbe

IRRIGATION CONVENTION
(Continued from First Page.)
It bus been determined by the Irri
gation Committee of the Commercial
club that tbey will call a meeting of
the farmers whore lauds will be nuder
the proposed irrigation canals, to
take pi toe at the Commercial Club on
Monday next at 2 p. in. The com
mittee desire to consult the farmers
regarding irrigation and will ask
them to elect a committee of six to
act with the irrigation committee of
the club.
The committee feel that it is high
time that the farmers come forward
aud act for themselves regarding the
irrigation of their lands. They Bay
that many questiong arise which can
only be settled by farmers and there
fore it is highly important to have
farmers as with the Commercial Club
committee. It is to be 1 hoped that the
proposed meeting next Monday after
noon will be well attended, in fact
ever1 farmer iu the county wants ir
rigation should make up his mind that
it is important for him to be present
to expres his wants and wishes on this
occasion.
There will b) numerous speeches and
in fact a general discussion of the sub
ject of irrigation, tha ways and means.
the opportunities aud what has been
as we'l as what should be accom
plished. It is Impossible for the news
papers to publish everything that takes
place regarding tbe securing of irriga
tion, therefore those who deslie full
information should atteud the meeting
ud lamiliarlzt) themselves with the
subject as it presents itself to those who
have land aud desire water to cover
it.
There appear to be many erroneous
reports regarding the d"tails of irriga
tion under the various plaus which
have been discussed. Attend the meet
ing and get the f icts and then you
will have an opportunity to act as
well as to protect your own interests.
All agree on one point, irrigation is
the thiug needed to make agriculture
aud fruitgrowing a success iu the
Rogue River Valley therefore it is im
portant that tin people generally, act
together so as to commence the con
struction of the ditches and iusure it
rigation for ti e seasou of 1000.
Since writing the above article ou
the North Dakota U. S. Government
Reclamation scheme and the Garden
City projecct, we have found the cost
per acre which those settlers pay lor
water rights. The following is'u full
1 st of goverumeut projects now being
carried out and tho cost for water
rights under each. These figures are
reliable and certainly must be Inter
esting to our readers at this time.
They should be placed before the meet

FOREIGN LANDS
H. B. Miller, of this place was in
Honolulu Monday on his war home
from Chiua, where he has been for
several yeats, holding the responsible
position of Amerioan Consul -General
at Yokohama. It is probable that Mr.
Miller will spend the snuimer on his
farm on Rogue River a few miles he
low Grants Pass. Close ateutiou to
duty has greatly impaired his health
and he has many times said that a
summer in good old Or. gju was just
what he desired and ueeded. His
nuuuierous friends will glad to
welcome his return.

they're woven in stripes and plaids
and other attractive patterns, in an
almost endless variety.
New models and new kinks in
style; new ideas in patch pockets,
buttoned flaps and that sort of
thing; you'll find just what suits
Carson Loses Horse.
One of the gray driviug horses
owued by Carson & Son had to b ghot
on Tuesday of this week on account
of a broken leg. E. L. Ch uchill had
taken a party of eastern persona out to
show them the vineyard and when
they reached the laue leading to the
Carson home the horse was standing
near the gate. It did not appear to be
afraid of the automobile and wheu the
machine was stopped to let the riders
out the hcrse came down to it, but
suddenly turned and jumpod over the
six foot wire fencs. It got caught in
the wire in some way and the leg was
brokeu at the aukle, making it neces
fary to shoot it.
