Fine Fruit Display.
The windows of many of the busi
ness housed this wwk contain
samples of extra fine fruit and vege
tables, whclh proves beyond a doubt
that the country In and around
Grants Pass is among the finest in
the world for raising first-class fruit
and vegetables. In the window of
the Sabin drug store Is a fine dis
play of eight apples, measuring a
full yard and weighing exactly 8
pounds 5V4 ounces. This 1b one of
the finest exhibits of apples seen for
some time and were raised Just out
side of town by S. N. Phillips. By
the side of these apples Is a large
cluster of strawberries raised by N.
E. McGrew on his place here in town,
and are very large, the bunch con
taining both ripe and green berries.
In this Bttme window are some very
fine specimens of "Gov. Briggs"
peaches, grown by D. V. Woodson
on his place south of town and with
out Irrigation.
Elmer Shank has some very fine,
lurgo peaches on display In his real
estate office, raised by him on gran
ite without irrigation.
In the window of the A. N. Par
sons' real estate office we notice
some enormous Bartlett penrs grown
by L. D. Allen on his place two miles
this side of the Elstnunn ranch west
of town.
A box of "great big" apples aro to
be seen at the Best-Fuller real estate
rooms. These are of the same vari
ety as shown in the Sabtn window
and from tho same grower, 8. W.
Phillips, and raised without Irriga
tion. Mr. Phillip's place adjoln3

The Geo. S. Calhoun clothing store
and C. H. Dcmaray's drug store win
dows contain boxes of magnlflclent
Bartlett pears raised near the Anient
dam, about 2Vi miles southeast of
this city.
Hendricks t Son also have a dis
play of fine, large Bartlett pears
grown by Chas. Williams on the old
Mash place west of town.
In spite of the fact that this is
not considered a corn country, Isaac
Best has a field of corn on his place
on 9th street of which he may be
Justly proud. This corn Is 11 feet
high and contains from five to nine
ears to the stalk. He also has some
quash four feet In circumference
and tomatoes, seven to the stem, fine
and large.
Speaking of tomatoes, that re
minds us that Mrs. C. W. Coutant
has raised some at her home near tho
river on 6th street, that for stie,
looks and flavor can hardly be beat.

Joseph Moss has on display some
enormous Bartlett pears raised on
river bottom land and some apples
raised by M. T. Vtley on 6th street,
which measure 14 Inches.
These are Just a few of the many
fine products of tne Rogue River
valley which we see on display, Oi
we paBB down the street. The soil

country 1b capable of raising the fin
est fruits and vegetables In the
world and when Irrigation is once
firmly established and these rich
fertile lands covered by the irriga

valley will be known by Its superior
productions as consisting of the most
famous soil in the whole world.

It begins to look as If Chief For

Is without doubt thoroughly in the
mood to undertake to run his own
department. Pinchot has been very
discrete on all occasions, but his
friends may not have been bo care

No Jumping Over Superiors.
To Mr. Taft this quarrel between
Mr. Ballinger and Mr. Pinchot Is de
cidedly embarrassing. He himself Is
pledged to the Roosevelt policies,
but he la equally pledged to a rigid
enforcement of the law. Moreover,
when he first assembled his cabinet
last March, he said to his official
advisers that he would not tolerate
a practice that marked the entire
Roosevelt administration -that of
allowing subordinate officers to carry
complaints to the White House over
the heads of their superiors. He
said that as a cabinet officer he had
on many occasion been embarrassed
by having army officers appeal dl-
reetly over his head to the President.
He would not permit the members
of his cabinet to be similarly humi
liated. COST OF UVIXO CHEAPENED.
