If we are to reform our knocker, let us give him an opportunity to work in the club and build up the town; then he will not think that the only use we have for him Is to get his money. The Irrigation directors managed fiiia JniHineKH better. In t,Qt Hav there were knockers, but after a committee waited on those individu als and got them to take blocks of stock to build the ditches and water their land, these same men became of creat use to the enterprise.

Cruel and inhuman practices are alleged In a statement given out to day by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber culosis against the eastern doctors who persist in sending dying cases of consumption to the Southwest. Fully 7,1 SO persons hopelessly diseased with tuberculosis annual ly come to die in the states of Cali fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Colorado, most of them by order of their physicians. The statement, which is based upon the testimony of well known experts, and all avail able statistics, shows that at least 50 per cent of those who go to the Southwest every year for their health are so far advanced in their disease, that they cannot hope for a cure in any climate, under any circum stances. More than this, at least GO per cent of these advanced cases are so poor that they have not sufficient means to provide for the proper necessities of life, which means that 1.315 consumptives are either starved to death, or forced to accept charitable relief every year It Is not an uncommon thing, the nt tonal Association declares, . for whole families, who can hardly elu out a living In the East, to migratf to tne West In the hope of saving the life of some member of the faml ly. In most, Instances, the abject poverty of such cases forces them to beg, or to live on a very low level. Often consumptives who cannot af ford the proper traveling accom modations are found dead on the trains before reaching their destina tion. The resources of almost every charitable organization In the South west are drained every year to care for cases which would be self-supporting in their Eastern homes. It cost, on an average, at least $:,0 per mouth for the suppo'-t of a consumptive in the Southwest, in cluding some medical attention. The National Association strongly urges no one to go to this s '. ti.'U who has net sufficient funds to care for him .elf at least one year, in addition to what his t'ainil..- might require of him during this time. It Is also urged that no persons who are far advanced with t uherciilosis c to so ,!i;tant a ilinvi'e.

The Fruitdale grange picnic last Saturday was a great success. About , , H. OA itnlntr llt : i a ueing present, uvt-i ov from town, tnere neing no ieSS man a dozen business men of brants l ass nun nmocrtv In Fruitdale. In opening the meeting Mr. Bateham, who was master of ceremonies, spoke of Fruitdale and its needs Seeing so many people from Grants Pass, he likened the occasion to the pilgrimage of the Commercial Club r! the Illinois valley. He said Fruitdale wants some things and wants them bad. She wants roads bad and has got them. Some people say they are the worst in the country. Seriously speaking, how ever, we are going to nave neuei highways and the men are here to day to show us how to build them. Continuing he said we want rural delivery, a ferry to Grants Pass, electric lights, and an electric rail road running through here from Portland to Ashland and new roads laid out and built. In the past, he said, they had wanted many things and they had gotten them. Judge Jewell was the speaker of the day and his subject was good roads and this was uppermost in the minds of everyone. His remarks were listened to with attention as he discoursed on the drainage of the roads, the building of different kind of roads and the bonding of districts for road purposes. He made a practical talk and at the close was lied with questions and many took part In the discussion, and the result was that all present gained many ideas of the needs, necessity and ob ligations of having better and more permanent work. After the judge's speech there was an adjournment for supper. Talk about your tables groaning under their weight of viands, we had to underpin them with bunches of shingles. After everybody had eaten all they could, they were called upon to wash it down with two loads of watermelons ttnd a barrel of ice water. At the close, Rev. Brooke, of the Christian church of Grants Pass, made a few well chosen remarks regarding his impressions as a newcomer. Tin social time wnicn. followed was greatly enjoyed by both old and young, and many were the resolves to come again nnd join the grange Raising Marly ('arden Truck. .Next season gardening will lie an Important feature in this city on streets supplied with irrigation.
