A letter received by the Courier from Mr. Hawley states that la a conference which he has Just had with ins director of the bureau of mines, he had urged the establishment of one of the stations In the vicinity of Grants Pass. Mr. Hawley states, that congress last year authorized the establishment of ten such stations In the-United States, one to be in Alaska. Three of these stations are to be located annually as congress may provide the funds, and It is one of this first trio that Is be ing sought for Grant Pass. The de partment of the interior has sub mitted an estimate for an appropria tion of $75,000 to be nsed in the es tablishment of the first three, though Congressman Hawley states that the department will take no action to ward determining the location till the sundry civil bin, carrying the ap propriation, has passed the house, this Drobalbly late in the session. Is the letter the congressman asks that he be supplied with data that will support his contention for the loca tion of the station, and this Is being gathered for him at this time. While here last summer Mr. Hawley gath ered many facts for his guidance in the matter, and was further advised through the efforts of the Commer cial club. I . The publication of a recent bul letin by the University of Oregon up on "Minerals of Oregon" bear in It self a powerful argument for the location of the station In Josephine county. The bulletin has been pre pared by the assistant professor of geology of the university, and Its outstanding feature is the fact that Josephine, a county among the least in area In the state, ranks first In the number of minerals found within its borders. Forty-five different min erals are found within the county, while Baker is second with 40. Our neighbor to the east, Jackson county, Is third with 83 minerals. Representative nawley should be supplied with such data as our citi zens can supply him in furthering his effort to secure this station for Grants Pass. With the mining dis trict Just being developed It sup plies an almost virgin field for Inves tigation, and the work of the fed eral Investigators who would "be In charge of such a station would be absolutely unprejudiced and worthy of the fullest confidence. The Courier has on other occasions called ' attention to the fact that the govern ment fostered stations for the ex- . perlmcntatlon In pretty nearly every line of endeavor except that of min ing, and that recognition, while tardy, was nevertheless due the in dustry that It was Intended to foster. RUSH FOR GOOD ROADS." ' The year 1916 will witness an un exampled extension in the building of firm roads In the United States, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Not one state, but all states are Interest ed in what, by common consent, has FANCY UTAH ALFALFA SEED AT KINNEY & TRUAX Grocery become a country-wide. movement. A leading reason for this welcome factl is tne practical realisation oi me truth that permanent common high ways are a gilt-edged Investment. In the end. and not remotely, they bring to a whole community more money than they cost. Any one who has seen the manner In which they wake up a neigQDornooa, stimulating u activities in all directions, know that this result Is too plain to be denied, and that it is of an immediate na ture. The new prospect tor good roads is fortunately based on a popu lar conviction that they pay, and that to be without them Is to be on the -retired list with the unenterpris ing. It is now comparatively easy in most of the forty-eight states to put through county and state bond Issues for the substantial betterment of or dinary highways, and these are the ones that have tbeen most neglected or inefficiently handled The Hollanders have a proverb that paint costs nothing. They do hnot mean that the materials lor painting or the labor required costs nothing, but that the preservative properties of paint are more than an offset for the expense. Many are the Items of advantage on the side of good roads. . Probably the Increase in land values alone would be a suffi cient return to put-the" balance on the right side. . But this advantage Is scarcely more valuable than more economic transportation, the saving of time, and the reduction of wear and tear. Good roads cost nothing in the eventual accounting. Bad roads are a constant leak and hard ship. Votes on bond issues for scientific road construction show, in all parts of the country, thlsjmportant change In the attitude of the average citizen on this subject ESSAD PASHA HAS ARRIVED IN ITALY (By United Press Leased Wire.)

S, Presoott. Mrs. A. U. Ban nard, Mrs. L. O. Clement. The large company of guests was divided Into parties of eight and per sonally conducted on a tour of Pres byterian missions in various parts of this country, gaining extremely clear Impressions of the stations, the work being done there, and the general character of the people. Mrs. Pinkerton had charge of the extensive work among the Indians, graphically portraying their charac teristics and achievements. MIbs Carmeltta Poole, as a young Indian mother, waa an able and pleasing as sistant Mrs. Longenecker conducted the visitors to ths Freedmen's schools and missions In a sympathetic man ner" Mrs. Roy Bush was guide tor those Interested In Mexico, her schools, her beautiful weaving in gorgeous colors, her drawn-work, pottery, etc. ' The excursion Into Mormondora was ably superintended by Mrs. Al brecht, who took ber guests through the mysterious endowment ceremony.. Porto Rico, with Its wonderful hospitals, consecrated medical pls slonaries, clever people, but men and women, who do such beautiful needlework, was charmingly presided over by Miss Dora Blrcbard.

On the Bedouins' long marches across dry countries the size of the water skins is nicely calculated to Just outlast the journey, and they rarely allow them selves to break the bnblt of abstemi ousness, as this would be sure to make their next water fast atl the harder. They are accustomed from infancy to regard water as precious and use it with religious economy. Location notices, Courier office. Hardware Co.

PRESIDENT FIRM (Continued from page 1.) pone It, I think ths whole matter, as far as ths house is concerned, will remain in status quo. "The sum and substance of the con ference, . outside of explaining the temper of the house and much argu ing on both sides, Is that the situa tion Is fully set out in the two let ters. We explained how the bouse feels. We told the president that a warning would carry in ths bouse by two to one If It came to a vote. Some say It would carry iby three to one. "There was a great deal of talk about International law and prece dent, which It Is not necessary to re peat. President Wilson stands on his letter to Senator Stone, as I see It. The warning resolution will not come up today. Some one might try to obtain unanimous consent, but, of course,' there would be 'objections."

After a two-hour session the cab inet declared itself solidly behind the jpresldent, and resolved not to close the Lusltania case while the armed merchantman decree threatens to In validate the previous Lusltania pledges. ... The senate was kept from break ing into a public discussion by rea son of an executive session over the confirmation of Henry P. Fletcher as ambassador to Mexico. After the White House session a compromise move developed In con gress In favor of the passage of a re solution to prescribe the maximum calibre of defensive armament for ships, and a warning to 'Americans not to travel on ships carrying an excessive armament. ' Those back of the compromise plan believe that the president may be in fluenced to approve this plan; which has considerable support. The"rumor" of Germany's post ponement of its decree apparently was based on Ambassador von Berns torff's recent suggestion that Ger many might delay Its operation. Chairman Flood said the president had told the conferees of this sug gestion. There has been no further suggestion of such' postponement, however, and no request from the United States that Germany take this step. ' . Chairman Stone of the senate for elgn committee was skeptical stbout the rumor. "I csn not discuss every Idle re port," he snld. "I heard the rumor yesterday, but I was unable to learn the source of It,' and there was cer talnly nothing In It upon which we can rely." President Wilson expressed to his callers today his displeasure at pub- Hetty given to the .differences be tween himsvlt and congress, as he held this to be Irritating and capable of such misinterpretation by Ger many that she would be ths lest will ing to make concessions.

The state department will try to establish their authen ticity, and If they are as Berlin rep resents, they may have a material bearing upon this government's fu ture position toward armed ships. "I believe It would proclaim us to the world as cowards to tell our cttiteoe that they must not exorcise their right to travel on armed bel ligerent vessels and that, If they do so, we will not protect them," said Senator Lodge In a statement up holding the president ; AIR MEN TAKE WRONG HANGAR Inollsh Aviators Surprised When German1 Wsrplane Drives In.
