An event at general Interest to southern Oregon and of particular In terest to dairymen, the opening it the Rogue River Cheese and Products plant tomorrow noon at Central Point promises to Introduce a new era (or milk producers of this sec tion. Under construction since last October, the completion and opera tion of the factory Is the subject jf general celebration to which an in vitation to the publlo and dairy In terests has been extended to. wel come the new Industry.

When the capacity of the Central Point plant has been reached, In keeping with expected de velopment of southern Oregon dairy ing, the establishment of a. branch factory in another section of the val ley Is a probability. While entirely independent of other plants, the Central Point fac tory is related to plants now in op eration in northern California, west ern Oregon and Klamath county. Mar ket conditions have been such that the construction of a new plant near Medford was deemed neoesssry, fol lowing a careful survey of the region releavlng there are a sufficient num ber of cows in the seotton to supply the needed milk. Officials Lauded. Officials of the company are re ceiving congratulations and best wishes for establishing the plant in this section and are beginning busi ness operations on a program of "a square deal to all and sincere, cour teous treatment." It is the belief of the oompany the success of the new industry i Is closely allied with the success of milk producers, en abling them to produce milk with a jutinable profit to maintain a steady flow to the plant. The oompany la headed by O. L. Churchill of Wheeler, Ore., as presi dent; A. S. Page of northern Oregon, Tloe-prealdent, and A. M. Churchill, secretary-treasurer and manager. "While all lines of endeavor have . been affected by several years of ao normal business conditions," said Mr. Churchill, manager, today In a message to dairymen, "statistics re veal the dairymen maintain the best position In agricultural pursuits. The producer has continued to receive a cash Inoome for his products from day to day. and It is one of the objects of the cheese factory to Im prove local dairying conditions by providing additional markets. We are here to cooperate with dairying interests on a cooperative basis to the fullest extent. Stable Market. "We shall strive to herald the re turn of normal conditions. The mar , kt we provide is stable, with Its sta bility to be generally recognised after the plant has been In full operation for a short time." The Rogue River Cheese and Prod ucts oompany Is financially well pre pared to enter southern Oregon on a big scale. There have been no so licitations for stock subscriptions or . donations, having been and being en tirely privately financed under cor poration laws of Oregon. The plant, a modern concrete tile building, Is located along the Pa cific highway In north Central Point, the location chlsen due to Its osn tral location to sources of milk sup ply, coming from Applegate, Little Aplegate, Big Applegate, Ruon.

By Mary Grelner.) SALEM, Feb. 3. (Spl.) Jamu Tl Owen, manager of the Owen-Oregon Lumber Sales company, is one lobby ist who comes to learn instead of to teach. He arrived In Salem this morning to attend the public hear ing on the forest and yield tax, which will be held tonight. Whether this proposed legislation will be of greater benefit to his com pany and subsequently to Jackson county than the now extsltlng prop erty tax, Is what he hopes to decide after he has listened 'o both sides of the question. At present he Is In clined to favor the former. Under this proposed new scheme, a forest tax will reduce the property tax 10 per cent each year until, at the end of 10 years no property tax, except five cents an acre will oe collected. Then the yield tax begins. This Is based on the percentage of the stumpage value of all the timber cut. The amount of that tax starts at one and one-half per cent and in- erases up to 12 per cent In the tenth year. This Is calculated to produce enough revenue to equalize that lost on the property tax; grant ing, of course, that the property tax could be paid In these times by the badly crippled lumber Industry. So far, there are only two house bills now under consideration affect ing the Rogue river,. The first Is No. 333, reducing the net mesh from eight and one-half to six Inches. The other is No. 300, opening the com mercial fishing season April 1 In stead of May 15, as Is now the case. Needless to say, Ralph Cowglll is spending most of his tune In the lobby. If Representative Paul us of Salem has his way, three years of Insanity on the par tof one's mate will oe grounds for divorce. This bill, ameno- lng the 1031 law, which made the period five years, is now In commit tee for consideration. Give the country boy a break, fie makes Just as good an auctioneer u the city boy does. This was the though back of house bill 334, au thored by Representative Chllds of Linn county. Formerly, when the country lad came to the city with ambitions be an auctioneer, according to Mr. Chllds, he was docked right off the bat for a license fee. The city slick er, on the other hand, could go out Into the country and pursue his ballyhoo art with only his conscience as a guide.

If It weren't for the newspaper, many senators and representatives wouldn't know what la going on in the legislature.

When one of these gets up for the tenth time In one morning and star's a familiar harangue on a given sub Ject, there la first an obvious falling off of attention, followed by audibly whispered discussions which pick up volume as the speech progresses.
