"Republican Assemblies."
Under the above raptlon the Ob
server of August 3 attempted to
Justify the work done by the recent
so-called "county assembly," held at
Grants Pass on the 16th day of July,
1910, and in a very shrewd way
places itself In a position to class all
who would oppose the assembly plan
as followers of and writers for Sen
ator Bourne.
We follow the dictates of no man,
nor are we writing at the Instance
or request of Jonathan Bourne.
There is such a thing as a man
having an opinion of his own, which
opinion Is naturally and originally
opposed to any attempt on the part
of any leader or leaders to either
disfranchise the people, or dictate to
them directly or indirectly how or
for whom their votes shall be cast.
To me the will of the people is law.
I am a republican. I wish to vote
my own convictions. I object to
any unauthorized convention setting
up a list of candidates and saying to
me: "Here, vote for them." I have
no candidate in whose interest this
article is written. Neither am I a
candidate for the present or In ex
pectancy. But inasmuch as we have
a carefully prepared primary election
law which lays down the method In
detail whereby all candidates for
office shall be nominated. It Is my
contention that any attempt to evade
that law Is wrong In principle and
should not be tolerated. The law
may not- be perfect, but it directs
the method of making nominations
and thereby forbids any other
method.
Will the exponents of the assembly
plan explain Just what you expect
to gain by the methods pursued In
your recent meeting In which you
took the naming of candidates for
county office out of the hands of the
people? Where do you get one
single hint of authority for what you
did? Did you have any hidden pur
pose for doing It and if not, why did
you do it at all?
We love the old republican party
for what It has done In the past,
and we protest against political
methods which shall give It an In
glorious future, but if we would
have it live to future usefulness we
must denounce "snap Judgments" of
every kind. We must give to the
people an open, frank and free op
portunity to express their will, and
the acts of the party must rest there
on. The people are on the alert
for crookedness In public, places,
where graft and political corruption
are openly charged. They are bit
terly opposed to the political boss
or self-appointed leaders, and when
any number of men come together
and act without authority, the peo
ple are entitled to know why.
The life of the republican party
rests at this time upon a "square
deal," and In order that we may
fully understand the situation, so as
to vote Intelligently, we Invite a
full, free and fair discussion of thU
question. We nsk you to come di
rect to the Issue, without coupling It
with the vices of some man whom
yon Hope to defeat next year, but
tell us just why you did that, when
the primary law provided other
wise? V 1.IF1M.OXC. UKPrni.lC.W.
President Will Visit Panama Canal.
A dispatch from Beverly, Mass.,
the summer home of Mr. Taft, says
that It has not yet been determined
on what date the president will
leave for his proposed visit to the
Panama canal, but the expectation is
that he will depart on the day after
the November elections. He will
probably sail from Norfolk on one
of the armored cruisers or battle
i ships of the Atlantic fleet. Prior to
this trip the president will be very
busy with administrative affairs and
it is on this account that he has can
celled engagements and arranged
' with Senator Crane to visit the west
iThe understanding is that the sena
tor will depart within a few weeks
and that he will visit Minnesota,
i Montana, Wisconsin and Washing
ton, among other states, for the pur
pose of attempting to patch up dif
ferences In republican ranks.
Rome Suggestions to Peach Growers.
(By A. C. True, U. S. Department of
Agriculture.)
First Year. Select a well-drained
field, one that also has good air
drainage, high than the surrounding
land if possible.
If possible have the field some dis
tance from other orchards.
Lime the soil before planting, un
less sure that it Is not needed.
Buy good thrifty trees of a nurs
eryman who Is not only honest, but
intelligent one who knows the dis
eases of the peach, so that he will
not be propagating diseased trees.
Remove the borers, If there are
any.
Prune to a whip, or nearly so.
Dip In lime, sulphur and salt be
fore setting.
Plant far enough apart so that It
will be easy to drive through when
spraying.
Fertilize well and plant corn or
other tilled crops between the trees.
Prune In June, so as to start the
formation of the heads.
Remove the borers in the fall.
Spray the next spring.
Subsequent Years. Prune every
year, doing some headlng-ln as well
as thinning out.
Spray thoroughly every spring be
fore the buds swell.
Till every year, beginning early In
the season and stopping early.
Fertilize liberally with phosphoric
acid and potash, particularly with
potash. If barnyard manure is used,
also apply muriate of potash.
Remove the borers every fall and
again in the spring.
After having given this good care,
promptly remove all sick trees.
Thin the fruit when necessary.
Grade the fruit carefully. Put up
the first quality in a package that
differs from that used for the poorer
grades.
If the peach orchard is neglected
In order to care for the corn crop, the
profits must be expected to come
from the corn.

WILL ENFORCE FRUIT LAWS.
July 14, 1910.
Mr. J. F. Burke,
County Fruit Inspector,
Grants Pass, Oregou.
You are hereby instructed to notify all fruit dealers in
your county that the provisions of the law in regard to the
sale of insect infested fruit in Josephine county will be
strictly enforced.
You will especially call the attention of all fruit deal
ers to the act or the legislature entitled "An act to prevent
the false branding or marking of, or false representation
with reference to fruits grown in the state of Oregon, or
elsewhere, and provide penalties for the violation
thereof."
Section 1 provides as follows: Any person, firm, assof
ciation or corporation engaged in growing, selling or
packing green fruits within the state of Oregon shall be
required, upon packing any such fruits for market,
whether intended for sale within or without the state of
Oregon, to stamp, mark or label plainly on the outside of
every box or package of green fruit so packed the name
and postoffice address of the person, firm, association or
corporation packing the same; provided further, that
when the grower of such fruit be other than the packer
than the same, the name and postoffice address of such
grower shall also prominently appear upon such box or
package as the grower of such fruit.
Sections 2 and 3 of the same act say what is unlawful
when a dealer may falsely vend friiit in a package.
Section 4 says: Any person violating any of the provi
sions of this act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine
of not less that $5 or more than $500, or by both such fine
and imprisonment in the county jail not less than ten days
nor more than one hundred days, or by both such fine and
imprisonment, at the discretion of the court.
To raise the standard of better fruit the provisions of
this act for marketing packages must be obeyed. Dealers
should co-operate with the inspector for the "enforcement
of this act. However, should a dealer ignore the law, vou
are required to report the same with the evidence and I
will insist that the district attornev proceed under the
law to impose the penalty. ' A. II. CARSOX,
Commissioner Third District.

II. Kinney Spcitkw WNely.
Ex-Mayor Kinney, who Is In the
east, wrote a letter last month to
Rev. Hohert McLean, of this city,
from Cleveland, Ohio. In which he
says :
"We spent n pleasant day at Hil
lings, Men:. It Is a delightful coun
try because they have Irrigation. 1
wish some of the farmers near
Grants Pass who are holding back
irrigation there could make a trip
to Hllllnts. 1 saw one piece of land
that the owners 'did not need Irri
tation for It,' 'would not mortcace
his land to a water company.' The
land Is practically a desert surround
ed by beautiful fields. The Irritated
land are worth $ 1 0 " per acre, but
the owner of the desert land can not
sell It for $in. as the ditch Is all
taken and he inn neither tet water
for love or money. I thought of
some of our neighbors and wonder
ed If they would play the same fool
