We have a real "Wise" family in our midst. Charles E. Wise and family, and Francis Wise, moved here last fall from St. Louis, having purchased two tractB of the Rogue River Orchard Co. Since that time Mr. Wise has constructed a beauti ful, thoroughly modern home on this tract which would be a credit to the residence district of any city. These gentlemen have had ample time to thoroughly Investigate con ditions here and satisfy themselves that there Is no better place than Rogue River valley for a desirable home, and for the development of the fruit Industry, and because of this proven Judgment, their father, Mr. Charles P. Wise of St Louis, has purchased a forty-acre tract In the same vicinity, adjoining the or chard compnny's land, preparatory , (.,,8S to also making this his home. Mr. pelegates to the state grange Wise has for many years been a whi h meets at Roseburg Mav 14 prominent attorney In St. Louts and such Investors In tils region are ap preciated in the extreme. The deal was made through A. N. Parsons. Mr. and Mrs. Wise, Sr., will spend the summer here. IlKWARK OF OINTMENTS FOR CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MKRCl ISV. orchard of old trees covering most i.;py of Slsson, Cal., and two daugh- of the ground, will be sufficient to keep the temperature about five de grees higher than that of the incom ing cold air. In a young orchard thlu quantity of fuel will not raise the temperature much more than a couple of degrees, and if there be an air movement of two to three miles per hour, very little temperature rise will Ik experienced. "The quantity of fuel oil which may lie burned In any unit of time will depend upon tho size of the or- 'i a id heater. This has heeu shown I i another part of the bulletin. In t an Iderlng the quantity of fuel oil ted In the above example, It Is erstood that the fuel pot used has ; p diameter such that the area Is i iiout 4 4 square inches. It has been found that fuel oil If not too light gravity will burn from sir h a surface at an average rate of uliout two pounds per hour. "In considering the use of Biich heaters as have large areas, It will be understood that they will consume oil at a much greater rate. In the adjustable types the rate may be made anything from practically zero to the maximum, which in tho case of the Hamilton, with the cover drawn, will ho as high as 8 to 10 pounds or more per hour. It is the unit surface, therefore, that we are considering a surface of 4 4 square Inches, which is about what we find in the 10-pound lard pail and the one-gallon Holton types. "Disregarding the cost of distrib uting the oil, which will depend very much on tho facilities for handling It, as well as distance necessary to haul it from the tank car, wo may Bay that, with fuel oil costing 4 cents per gallon f. o. b. Medford, each one -' in fuel pot will burn one cent's h of oil per hour. Now, since It ! cost one cent, per hour to run a i'ii' gallon heater, It Is easy to cal c '.ate how much It will cost per hour u : acre for nny number of hea'ers. The total cost per aero for nny night's heating will, therefore, de pend upon the temperature to be maintained, a well as the number of hours necessary to continue the heat ing 'Tudor our conditions, four hours Is about the maximum length of time, nnd the number of pots per acre will run all the wny from f0 to 125 per acre, depending net only up on the a;e of the trees but the loca tion nf the orchard. We Know that trio pern' u t es Invariably reach a low ct point In i-ome orchards than they 1o tn others because nf elevation and air ilralnnce ' Mthougb It Is to bo understood tin sufficient number of orchard heaters should be on band to meet anv emergency, only the number ac ttullv needed to maintain the tem perature above the danner point should be lighted The urnctl.e In tlif t . t Is to begin bv lighting say. ev.rv other beater or even everv third beater, leaving the rest In re serve. This rdu permits of Increas ing be quantity 0f heat given o it to the maximum when It Is needed "The discussion so fr bus consl.l r.

Representatives of the granges of Josephine county met Saturday after nuou at the Commercial club rooms to discuss the proposition of holding a grange fair at tome central place. A number of teachers were also pres ent, representing the school chil dren's Industrial movement. After considerable discussion It was decided to hold the fair in Grants Tass iu October, probably the 2d, 3d and 4th, it these dates do not conflict with the date of the Southern Oregon Industrial fair at Ashland. No definite arrangements have been made, but at a meeting of the Pomona Grange Saturday, April 6, at Murphy, committees will be named and arrangements made. The co-operation of the teachers of the county has been pledged, and the Ladies' Auxiliary has offered as sistance. The Commercial club and busines Interests will be asked to lend aid In carrying the fair to suc- were elected, those being E. E. itlanchard. H. T. Prltchard and Dr. S. D. Wilcoxon. The market problem was also brought up and discussed at some li'iigth, but tn definite action taken. This question will also be brought up at the Pomona grange. 1 0 'J idtv and, so to spea the keys of the city to the Oregon-. ians. And he did so in every sense . 'of the word. Free automobile.

I Inclose a program of entertain ment, and I feel positive had the people of Grants Pass known the great treat afforded the Oregonians, Grants Pass would easily have filled a car of representatives. Allow me to state that city offi cials and citizens alike did every thing possible to make us feel at home. Governor West did the state much honor in his well-worded, kindly remarks when he was pre sented with a flag, and also the deed to the land on which is to be erect ed the Oregon building. The remarks of Mayor Rolph would make any Oregonian feel at home, but Lieutenant Governor Wal lace has an Inimitable way of ex pressing himself; and his stories kept the Oregonians in a continual state of hilarity, the most apprecia tive story being that easterners un derestimate the integrity of the west erner when they remark the wild and woolly west; and he wanted the Oregonians to particularly remem ber that the words "wild and woolly west" do not apply to Oregonian Governor We6t, "Oregon First" waB ever preva lent in badges and banners all over the city, but Mrs. Ryan and myself believe "Oregon First" had another meaning than first selection of a beautiful site on the water's for the building at the 1915 for we believe that when the was giving out climates he "Grants Pass, Oregon, first."

The church was crowded to Its ut most capacity with sorrowing friends, who had come to Join with relatives of the young man to take part In the last rites. A great wealth o blooms covered and blanketed the casket. The beau tiful and touching service for the dead was given by Frederic M. Brook, minister of the Christian church. In addition to the choir, Miss Florence Smith sang "A Happy Brother," this having been a favorite song with Mr. Rowley, and which had often been sung by him when he was happy In the full strength of young manhood. After the services the body was taken to Granite Hill cemetery. The pall bearers were Messrs. Simmons, Fred Smith, Fred Wilcox, Guy E. Gano, Russell Drake and Bob Jewell. Walter L. Rowley was 28 years of age. He was born in Kansas, but most of his life was spent In Grants Pass.
