H. MARGARET DORAtf. March 14. 1910. 3-18-5t Another of Josephine county's big deals is being consummated, the seller this time being Rev. W. G. Smith, founder of "Oregon's Ideal Colony" at Wolf Creek. This large nronertv. conslstlne of over 2700 acres was acquired two years ftgo and over $15,000 have been expended in development work, and now the H. L. Chapin Realty Co., of Portland, has acquired control and is platting and will sell in small tracts on easy I payments. The price was near the 50,000 mark. Mr. Chapin, president of the com pany, Is one or rortiana s leading real estate men and his taking hold means much for the new colony, in which over 700 acres have already been acquired by home makers whose principal purpose is fruit growing. Twelve new homes have been es tablished and over 100 acres set to choice varieties of apples, pears peaches and grapes, and within a very few years several thousand acres will be developed in orchards, most families securing their living from side crops grown between trees while they come to bearing. Two choice sections of tbe proper ty have been set aside for immediate development for purchasers who do not expect to occupy them till in bearing, while most of the tracts will be developed by resident owners. New City ami County Directory. The Courier establishment is en gaged in the printing of the city and county directory and the book will be Issued within a short time. This work will be a valuable one to every resident of the county, as it will con tain a vast amount of information which can be secured from no other source. Special representatives have been in the field for a considerable time gathering the material for the work. A, good city and county directory will have great value as it will rep resent practically the various inter ests which go to make up the indus tries of the county. We desire to make the directory useful to every' body and to this end we ask the as sistance of people generally in cor recting the list of names which make un the volume. There are of neces sity many new people coming in and it is the names of these we desire at . tiiis time, and if our friends will help tis to secure them we will be very thankful.

Recent conferences of representa tives of the department of agricul ture with several lead pencil manu facturers have resulted in plans for testing new woods to find out wheth er tney can be used in the pencil in dustry. According to some of the manufacturers, the supply of red cedar, which furnishes practically all the wood for the annual output of some 325,000,000 pencils, will be ex hausted within five years. A sub stitute must be found which will whittle easily, which shall contain a large amount of material free of knots, which shall not be porous, nor spongy, nor unduly hard, and which shnll occur In sufficient quantities to meet the manufacturers' demand. In view of this and at the sugges tion of the pencil makers, the forest service Is to co-operate In z test of u number of national forest woods. Among those to bo tried are Rocky Mountain red cedar, alligator Juni per, western Juniper, redwood, In cense cedar, Port Orford cedar, and Alaska cypress. Wood specimens col lected from the national forests will be sent to four lending manufacturers who have agreed to make pencils of them. The manufacturers will keep a record of the tests and report to the forest service the results, as well as their Judgment as to the fitness of the Individual woods.
