Without doubt one of the most important matters to be looked after now la the clearing up of the old orchards In the county. This will be In the Interest of the owners of uch properties, who lost altogether during the past season the sale of Dot less than ?1 0,000 worth of fruit by scale, cod I In moth and bitter rot. To some the lows stated may seem over estimated, but these are the figures of Fruit Inspector Burke, who assures us the loss Is over rather than under the amount mentioned. The Importance of this crusade for Clean fruit which the Inspector Is now making can hardly bo over Btated, as It will not only affect the orchards operated on but the clean orchards which are In danger of con tamination if the diseases are not eradicated without delay. It seems Btrange that there should be owners of orchards who refuse to spray their trees and thus prevent the ravages Of these diseases which mean loss, Bnd yet thero are men of this kind. They have llttlo Idea of the Injury they cnuso to others as well as them selves. The mnn who has smallpox In his family and exposes his neighbors to the disease Is not regarded as a good citizen and yet ho Is no worse than the man who scatters fruit diseases broadcast among the orchards of the county, causing great loss and Injury to those who live near him. Tho law should require the In spector to put up a disease flag on every orchard where Hi" owner nor slots In refusing to spray. Blight, scale and nearly all the fruit dlea '.sen are contagious In character and the inspector Is a health of titer and he should be clothed with the same au thority as the health officer or the city, (onnty or state, who looks after tho conlnglous diseases of humanity lind hangs out, a flag at tho homes I where those diseases exist, The next legislature should amend the fruit j inspector law In this particular and, thus do a great service to fruit j growers generally. Tho fruit com-i jnlssloneis of the state are deter mined that tho law shall ho enforced to the very letter and they ask the County courts to appoint Inspectors who will do their duty. In this county Inspection Is going on with great energy nnd It Is to ho hoped the county commissioners will give the needed financial assistance to the Inspector so that he may take out nil trees where the tfwnor refuses to spray or clean diseased trees. An example Is needed now and the Inspector should he encouraged to act promptly nnd with great decision. This will never become a fruit, grow ing county of Importance unless there is close Inspection and prompt action. Tho county court, we trust, will do its full duty as well as tho Inspector.: numeration, and this was done at the expense of his own business, which often had to he neglected, and for the benefit of Grants Pass, and the people of this county. As coun cilman his far slghtcdness gave to us an up-to-date telephone service. We had an abominable system, twenty years behind tho times and our citizens were without hope of secur ing a better service. When the Citizens Telephone company asked for a franchise and offered to guar antee a service second to nothing In the entire country, Mr. Rlggs said In his place in the council that the old company was taking the money of the people without giving them a fair equivalent, and for that reason he favored the new company. Other members of the council joined him and a franchise was granted for an up-to-date telephone system for Grants Pass. The mayor vetoed the ordinance but the company asked for the referendum, and in the mean time the old company rushed materi al on the ground and commenced the construction of an up-to-date sys tem. Having secured this the ma jority of the council were satisfied pnd the appeal to the people went no farther. We all realize today that If Mr. Rlggs had not stood firm the city would still be using the worst system to be found anywhere. Our service today, thanks to the majority of the council, headed by Mr. Rlggs, Is the very best In use In tho country. UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE THURSDAY Tho union Thanksgiving service will be held in tho Newman M. E. church Thursday, November 25, at 11a. in. The sermon will be given by Rev. Mr. Dills, pastor of the M. E. church, South. All the pastors of the city will take part In the services. It Is customary to take an offering at these services for benevolent work in tho city, the fund thus obtained being placed at the disposal of the Ministerial Association. The plan of the association Is to Investigate all cases of distress and need and when those In need are affiliated with any church, to turn the enso over to that church. Where they have no church relation the association relieves the necessity from the common fund. Lot the people make a thank-offering as the Lord lias blessed them. tSV '2 . mm?

ESSE acst BUSINESS MEN MEET FOR CONSULTATION 11. It. Norton Recommended to tho Convention as Candidate for Mayor. There was a conference of business men held at the Commercial Club rooms on Wednesday evening at S o'clock and the subject of the neces sity of eloctlnu business men to the municipal offices which are to be come vacant on tho rirst Monday In January, 1!Un, was discussed. M. J. Anderson, by request, called tho mooting to order nnd stated tho ob ject of tho gathering and asked that a chairman and secretary bo elected. with tho times. R. L. Coo said that he had been a resident of Grants Pass for 20 years and that there was now more unity of action than at any other time. He thought the people were determined to build up the city nnd the general business of the town. Mr. Gllkey said that some man must be found who wns able and loyal enough to the city to sacrifice his time for the benefit of Grants Pass, and that man must be one who could be elected. Mr. Durham also made a talk along the same line and upon the necessity of choosing an able candidate. There was a motion by Mr. Parker to proceed In the selection of a can didate to be recommended for mayor. He thought the proper way was to proceed by ballot, permitting every person present to write his choice on a ticket, and accordingly tellers were appointed and a ballot taken. First Rallot. Dr. J. C.
