WATERS RUSH THROUGH MILES OF THIRSTY DITCHES
Gang's of Men Are at Work on
Both Sides of the Noted Rogue
"Old Timer" Discusses Value of
Irrigation to this Fertile Valley
Men are at work on the Irrigation
ditches on both sides of the river.
On the north side they worked yes
terday from Jones creek northward
and the force has been doing things
In an expeditious manner to get ready
fo the water. The lands composing
farms and gardens under this ditch
are being prepared for crops. The
ground in Its present condition Is too
dry to plow, but a little water judi
ciously distributed will put it In roy
al condition for crop purposes. Mr.
Saunders was at the dam all day
Saturday looking after many details
so as to get the water down to Grants
Pass as Boon as possible.
A large number of workmen are en
gaged on the south side ot the river
opposite the dam preparing the upper
end of the ditch so as to be able to
pump water In It at an early date.
The most important work on this line
of ditch is the construction of a con
alderable number of flumes, but a big
force will be put on the job and the
wood work will be completed within a
very short time.
The farmers around Fruitdale are
on tiptoe waiting to see what crops
tl ey can put under water this season.
Some of the land up that way, like
other places in the valley. Is getting
very dry and It will need the water
within a short time if It Is to do any
particular good to early crops. It la
the intention of nearly all the farm
ers up that way to sow forage, but
the question arises as to the best
crop for feed. It will pay to make
some Investigation along these lines
as it Is late for planting many ot
he best forage crops and yet there are
pome that will be successful If not
rut in the ground until the middle of
July.
After all, the Important work must
be done In getting ready for next
year. The water will be in not only
Fruitdale but a lower line of ditch
extending five miles below Grants
Pass on the south side and It will also
be In the large gravity ditch on the
north side, which is to cover 9,000
acres. Work on these canals will be
gin as soon as the rainy season be-
g ns and will be continued all winter
hud through the spring months of
1912.
Mr. Sanders will procure modern
ditching machines, which will not on
ly reduce the time but the cost of
making ditches. Ditch construction
will give employment to a very large
number of men and teams which will
be a good thing for our farmers and
A correspondent of The Courier,
over the signature of "Old Timer,"
writes a good article on Irrigation and
present conditions In Grants Pass and
the surrounding country. It la the
general Impression that If we get Ir
rigation, all other things will come
to us. The correspondent puts It all
iu a nutshell, when he says, "Irrlga-tl-

lines of production, manufacture and
commerce.
Heretofore, the growth of the city
has been In greater ratio than the de
velopment ot the country, so much so
that many wondered what justified
the growth when in fact, the cause
was in the foresight of enterprising
and public spirited citizens who had
confidence in our surrounding re
sources and their development. So
these advance guards pushed ahead
with their optimistic lights aglow.
Their efforts were criticised by many
I who had little or no confidence in the
success ot development advocated.
Many of the critics were Impelled by
honesty of purpose and It is not an
act of wisdom to censure them too
harshly with sarcastic epithets. Here
tofore, we have been agitating the
building of many payroll enterprises
with little to justify their sustenance.
The mill yards, plants, foundry, etc.,
already a success, will now Increase
their volume of business and others
will follow.
It behooves as all to pull together
in the oneness of a common cause tv

AT WORK ON THE DITCH.
MDDKOIU) HALL 1IASERS
WIN OVEi; IiOCAL TEAM
At Medford Sunday, under an
azure sky, and beneath a sun of ad
amant and gold, before crowded
bleacher and not less crowded grand
stand, Wheeler Osborn, Grants Pass'
premier pitcher, suffered, through
errors by First Baseman Dyke and
Catcher Kelly, an undeserved defeat,
by a score of 9 to 5.
Osborn allowed only seven scatter
ed hits, two qf which were scratchy
and of the nine runs made by Med
ford. none was earned.
Manager Hall used three pitchers
to avert defeat, Sheehy retiring after
two Innings In favor of young Bur
gess, who wa3 replaced by Bragdaw
lu the fifth.
In the seventh Inning occurred
what, may be alluded to, for want
of a better designation, as an un
pleasant Incident. Williams had sin
gled to right and Smith grounded to
Miles, who tossed the ball to the
grizzled and venerable McCarthy on
second; Williams forced out by five
feet, but, presumably to prevent the
doubling of Smith at first, dashed In
to the Medford captain, turning him
a complete somersault. The entire
Medford team rushed at Williams,
who, though doubtless filled with re
gret for his action, figured he might
as well be hung for the theft of a
sheep as for that of a lamb,
squared off to defend himself. The
Grants Pass players and Managers
Hall and Roper raced to the belliger
ent zone to restore peace and pleas
ant relations. This was accomplish
ed after Umpire Glover called Smith
out for Wlllams' Interference.

Mrs. J. F. Burke requestes The
Courier to give publicity to the fol
lowing: At the meeting on last Saturday
afternoon, the rose (cstlral couiuUitee
gave In their reports showing the to
tal receipts of the show to be $206.70
and expenses, $73.00. This left a
balance of $133.70, with a few small
bille yet to come in, which Is grati
fying taking everything Into consid
eration. While receipts were not eo
large as last year the net profits
were greater because ot loss expense.
The various committees are to be
congratulated on their ability to keep
expenses within a reasonable limit. I
wlBh to take this opportunity to
thank most heartily everyone who
assisted In making the festival the
success that it was.
Now that the rose festival has be.
tome an annual event In Grants Pass,
it seems advisable to form a Rom
Festival organization composed ot
001 most Interested citizens who wll'
work In conjunction with the auxil
iary officers. 8urh an organic
tlon. headed by an experienced chair
wan, could make of our annual event
a trrmennous surrens m Terj
Interest In the rose show Is growing
prenter every year, and to meet the
p'TilrenentB we should adopt tho
t-iopt rrni:reislve methods. It Is none
too soon, In my estimation, to be
tliftikln tbt matter over and plan
nlni? to make the roue festival of 1912

CLEVER WOMEN
Always Keep Tlu'lr Hair FnKcliiatluK

Almost everybody In Grants PnHS
knows that there Is no preparation
for the hair that can eomapre with
ParlHlnn Sane.
It cures dandruff, stops falling
hair and itrhlng scalp in two weeks,
or money back.
It puts radlanc? and luBter into
that dull, lifeless hair that many
women posses, and does It In a few

On March 25, 1910, Lulu D, Fix,
of RaphJne, Va., wrote: "Parisian
Sage Is a wonderful hair restorer; It
stopped my hair from falling out and
stopped my scalp from Itching; also
cured the dandruff."
Parisian Sage is sold by C. H.
Demaray for 60 cents a large bottle.
STOMACH FEELS FINE.
Iu regard to skin diseases, tnedi
cal authorities are now agreed 01.
this:
Don't Imprison the disease germ
In your skin by the use, of greas;
salves, nnd thus encourage them to
multiply. A true cure of ull eczema
tous diseases can be brought about
only by using the healing agents In
the form of a liquid.
WASH THE GERMS OUT.
A simple wash: A compound of
Oil of Wlntergreen, Thymol, and oth
er Ingredients as combined In tho D
D. D. Prescription. This penetrates
to the disease gonna and destroys
them, then soothes and heals the
skin as nothing olse has ever done.
A 25 cent trial bottle will start the
cure, and give you Instant relief. M.
