There are no soils too good and rich to grow the best apples and pears, saya A. H. Carson in his annual report as horticultural commissioner for. this district. The success and profits of the Rogue River valley apple and pear grower are in proportion to the good quality of the soil his orchards are planted on and the attention he gives to details in its management. As shallow soil will spell failure if planted to the apple and pear, un less water is available for Irrigation during the months of August and September. However, it must be rc McmNered that not all shallow soils are adapted to irrigation. To irri gate with profit, the subsoil must be right. If the subsoil Is wrong, ir rigation would be detrimental. A shallow loam soil two and one-half feet deep, resting on decomposed bedrock or broken bedrock or loose gravel would be all right for Irriga tion. Irrigation Ilencflcinl. Irrigation, It Intelligently done, would be a great benefit to an apple or pear orchard on such land, for the reason that the surplus water in Irrigating would readily drain off through the bedrock without injury to the growing tree, on the other hand, should a shallow soil rest on a clay subsoil or a cement hardpan, ir rigation would be detrimental to the growing of apple and pear trees. To successfully Irrigate fruit trees on any of our soils here under drainage must be nad to carry off the sur plus water during the irrigation period. These Bhallow soils with a clay subsoil or cement hardpan can be made available for apple and pear growing by tiling to a depth of not less than five feet. Must Understand Subsoil. Where irrigation is resorted to the conditions of the subsoil in relation to the growth of the tree must be in telligently understood. The mechan ical effect on shallow boIIs by un der drainage with tile Is to deepen the soli to the depth the tile is laid. During winter rains the Burplus water where land Is tiled is drained through the soil and passes off through the tile, preventing the fruit tree from Injury from excessive mois ture during protracted rain storms of winter, keeping It healthy and vigorous during the dormant period, so that when It quickens Into growth in the spring It Is In the best possible condition to grow and responds to the skill and cultivation of Its own er. Again, while the mechanical ef fect of underdralunge Is to deepen the soil and carry off the surplus moisture, paradoxical as it may ap pear, underdralnage makes these shallow soils moist during the grow ing period. During the growing period the moisture-laden air piiBses through the tile and Its moisture is condensed and left In the soil for the growing tree. In fact with thorough, intelligent cultivation where these shallow soils are proper ly underdralned, hut little water Is necessary for Irrigation during the dryest season. Study Orchard Soil. On any of these shallow soils, where the exposure Is right, grapes can he profitably grown without un derdralnage, ami, with a depth of three or more feet, (ht! peach can be grown with good cultivation. As to the variety of climate and soils In various counties In the Third district and annual precipitation had in each county, 1 hope by a detailed description of ea:h county to give the prospective K.'ttlir some data that will enabl" him to Intelligently Judge soil conditions that will ! con genial to the fruit he may desire to grow. llliciinial Niii.

Serious Runaway Saturday. J. D. McConnell, living on his farm at Wlldervllle, was considerably bruised and shaken up by his team running away Saturday. While Mrs. McConnell and her mother were trad ing at Dixon's grocery on Front street Mr McConnell was watching i the horses in front of the Btore and examining a part of the wagon which had just been repaired. He stepped behind one of the horses and in front of the wheel when suddenly without warning the horses Jumped and began running. Mr. McConnell was knocked down and his clothing caught In some manner so that he was dragged some distance and per haps struck on the curb as the team turned into Fourth street. He final ly succeeded in getting loose before the light spring wagon was demolish ed. The horses continued their mad race turning at the laundry on II Btreet to Sixth street, then to Front and up Front to the cannery where they were captured. Mr. McConnell took charge of the team and Becured another conveyance with which to re turn home, but the next day he was unable to be up. He received sever al bruises and cuts on his back and side, and although no bones were broken he was left in a serious con dition, although serious conse quences are not feared. School Teachers at Table Hock. Table Rock was again on last Sat urday the scene of a notable gather ing, but very unlike , the gathering of warriors In the early history of the country which made it famous; and any paint which mny have been discovered was far from the war paint variety. It was arranged that the company should be made up of teachers from Grants Pass, Jackson ville, Medford and Ashland, and their friends, but the Jackson county in structors did not appear In large numbers, there being only seven or eight and these coming from Jack sonville and Medford. A picnic dinner was served at the Gold Ray dam and then the ascent of the rock began. It was a long and hot trip, but the magnificent view obtained from the flat top of the rock repaid the toll and trouble. The Grants Pass delegation re turned home on No. 16, Overland, tired but happy. Among those who went from here were: Superintend ent Turner, Prof Mlelke, Prof, nnd Mrs. II. It. Hurtman and daughter, County Superintendent L. Savage, Mrs. Molllo Melding, Mrs. Zoa Ilryant, Misses Kay Newtown, Anna Miner, Cora McVeln, Christina McLean, Jessie Masten, Rev. Ilobt. McLean, Messrs.

Ten tons of cnbbago Is frequently raised on an aero of ground In the vicinity of Grants Pass, 'Baking Powder ASSESSOR MUST USE HIS OWN JUDGMENT The Board of State Tax Commis sioners is making an effort to have tax assessment valuations through- out the Btate uniform and to thin end circular letters have been sent to the assessors of the various coun ties calling attention to various changes necessary. Assessor Pollock received such a letter which is in part as follows: "Assuming that It Is the intention and purpose of each assessor to do his full duty, he should make every possible effort to find all the taxable property of his county and assess every part at what he honestly be lieves Is its true cash value, or what it should sell for at a voluntary sale made In the uBual course of business. "This board expects each assessor to be an assessor In fact, to exercise his independent Judgment, and for the valuation entered on the assess ment rolls under his direction be and no one else Is to be held responsible. In making assessments on all prop erty, both real and personal, he should neither accept the statement of the property owner as conclusive as to value, nor take the assessment made by any former assessor or for any former year as a necessary stand ard. "In many of the counties valua tions on all or nearly all forms of property are unquestionably far be low those required by law. We ln Blst that the assessor of every such county should cut loso from this un fortunate practice and adopt a new scale, of assessments based, as near ly as Is possible, on actual cash, values. In a county where valuations have been very low, the assessor makes a mistake In trying to Increase them slightly from year to year. The- law does not authorize such pro cedure, and, furthermore, it Is safest and best to make the increase at once. As Boon as fair and uniform valuations are established on a true cash baslB, many of the complaints which tax payers have rightly made cease, and the assessor's difficulties for succeeding years are minimized. Every assessor who makes a con scientious effort to comply with the law and to do his full duty us an assessor will find his work approved and sustained by this board at all times. "Low valuations will gain nothing for a county In the apportionment of state taxes, lly Independent Investi gation, the board will obtain rellnblo Information as to the ratio of assess ed values to actual values In the dif ferent counties and will equalize tin county summaries to establish an equitable Imsls of apportionment. Proper allowance will bo made In case any iorm of taxable" property i Ih t,'"' 'V l"rt of the assessors and omitted by others."
