At a meeting of the board ot di rectors of the Alton Mining com pany, Glen Fabrlck wag elected pres ident to gucceed A. K. War. Other offlcerg elocted were C. C. Clark, rice prealdeot; Harry Chllderg, aecretary and treasurer. These officers, with Mesjrs. A. L. Bailey and W. J. Ea nian. are the directors. W. J. Esmaa, formerly chief engineer of the Midas I ... i n t a- - Cal., was elected manager and will have charge of the development work. The property of the Alton com pany consists of four claims locate near the Greenback mine,' on the north slope of St. Peter mountain. It Is a free milling proposition, and a hundred assays are said to have returned values of an average of about $i00 per ton. A boiler and compressor are to be installed, and development will be pressed. There are eight leads on this property, from one to five feet In width, and a 600-foot tunnel will cross cut at a depth of from 400 to 600 feet. Four hundred feet of tunnel work has al ready been done. lm;amikrry to figure in valley's prosperity The loganberry ag a producer of revenue is just now attracting much attention in the atate of Oregon, and the fact that no part of the state can produce the luscious fruit In better perfection or greater quantity than the Rogue river valley has occasioned an agitation here to have a larger acreage of the berries planted. A branch of the Industry that would ap peal especially to this vicinity Is the drying of the fruit, as In that form it has a ready market, with no haxard ot shipment, and with transportation reduced to a minimum. In the Willamette valley hundreds of acres of the berries are being planted out, and the returns from them is quoted in figures that run in to the hundreds. Geo, H. Parker, the local nurseryman, has been Investi gating the culture of the berry, and supplies the Courier with the follow ing letter which he has received from a Salem wholesale house regarding the outlook for the berry In its evap orated form: ' It Is true that we have been in terested In the growing of loganber ries for evaporating purposes, and while there may not be many dried during the next few years we believe the time is coming when this will be an industry of considerable import ance. Just now the supply available for the canners is not sufficient to meet their demands. It is only with in the last few years that the canners have learned the art of preparing them properly In tin. The demand also on the part of the consumer has been growing very rapidly during the past three or four years s" that there Is now a specific demand for logan berries in many forms. "We can see a great future for this product dried, especially In localities where there may be land well suited to Its production which Is located back too remote from rail facllltU-g or from canneries, and where they can be easily dried and thus hauled out in condensed form. We would be willing to give a contract covering a term of five or seven years on a goodly acreage of loganberries, the same to be evaporated and delivered to us as Boon as cured every season. The tonnage produced per acre on land which is well located and well adapted to the culture of loganber ries Is enormous and, will pay has 1 somely. "Irrigation would be a very desir able feature In the way of assuring regular crops. We are growing a number of acres ourselves and have no doubt at all as to the net results per acre, the same to be used for drying purposes." Mr. Parker states that there are at the present time about twenty acres of the berries in bearing In the Grants Pass district, and that that amount Is considered enough to Jus tify the establishment of a custom MICHELM t j fit on any tt ; W Q.D.Clinchtr PpW Rim yw Just as superior to other tires as Michelin Red Inner Tubes are to other tubes IN STOCK.

With the drier once establish ed, there would of course be no dan ger of an overproduction, as th5 drier could be added to so as to take care of all that could be produced. With acreage large enough the cannery that is now standing idle could also be started up again, as the canned berry Is becoming most popular In the markets. How well the loganberry produces here Is evidenced by a little patch of fourteen vines in a garden within the city limits. Account was kept of the berries picked from these vines, and an acre producing at the same rate, at prevailing market prices, will re turn $1,000. In the Willamette val ley, where the berry Is now grown on a somewhat extensive scale, 1500 per acre is considered not uncommon, So lets put the loganberry In Its rightful place along with the pear, the apple, the peach and the grape In the Rogue river valley. It returns profits In a year,' with no long waits for revenue. As an Inter-tree crop It has no superior. There Is more Catarrh In this sec tion of the country than all ctuer diseases put together, and until tba last few years was supposed to be In curable, tor n great many years doctors pronounced It a local dis ease and pi scribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced It Incur able. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and there fore roqulres constitutional treat ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufac tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Tolodo, Ohio, Is the only constitutional cure on the market. It Is taken Internally In doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucus surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any rase It falls to Cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address: J.
