PERMANENT PROSPERITV The permanent prosperity of any community depends entirely on steady and profitable production, not on production that Is spasmodic or uncertain, but the production that is steady and reliable year in and year out. Applied to this community this means that our permanent prosper ity Trill depend entirely on the de velopment of those resources that will produce profitably year after year, and, while, with the great va riety of natural resources of Jose phine county; other lines of endear or will undoubtedly eventually come Into the class of steady producers. the one immediate line to develop is our agricultural interests. We have the soil, the climate. and plenty of water for irrigation running past our door the three elements which, if combined, make for steady and profitable production Nature has done her part well, but has left for the hand of man the ap plying of the water to the lands, . We have made an excellent start toward this application. On the sooth eide of the river about 5,000 acres have been organized into an Irrigation district and in due time will secure the much coveted water. West of the city the owners of the fine bottom lands have perfected an organization for the irrigation of ap proximately 3,000 acres of land by means of a gravity flow, and are now asking the people of Grants Pass for a franchise to run their ditch through the city. If the franchise is granted these land owners expect to construct their ditch tnis winter and nave same ready for service for the 1919 sea son. With the irrigation of the many thousands of acres of excellent lands tributary to Grants Pass, the future of the city is assured for all time to come, and it rests upon the decision of the voters next Tuesday whether we are to lay the proper foundation lor this permanent prosperity or not. j The landowners have made the he ginning and the next step is up to the voters, who should register their decision in no uncertain manner.

This happened only recently. It is but one of the thousands of crimes the Germans have been committing during the past four years. Shall we arbitrate and "talk terms," or demand unconditional surrender? The call recently sent out from the White Mouse is a request from Wilson to have the voters return a democratic congress to back him up in further note writing and parley ing with the murdering hordes of the kaiser. Great Heavens! what kind of a heart what kind of a brain has the American got who wants to bandy worcs and talk peace terms to the bloody gang across the ocean. now that we have them all but beaten? Is such a person doing Justice to plundered France and Belgium to our brave boys who have already fallen In Flanders fields? Xo, un less the Hon gets his just deserts by being beaten until he surrenders unconditionally, our boys "will not lMn n 'Flanders fields." and the Boche military spirit will remain un broken. imity to otners. iiowover, if you are slow on the draw, and the snoete comes before you can reach your handkerchief, you are perhaps excusable. 4th, 1918.

The names lacking on the annual census will probably be from families where there are no children in school, or recent arrivals EDWARD 8. VAN DYKE 09 School Clerk POLICEMAN MIFFED A. G. Churchwood, temporary night policeman In Grants Pass, and secretary of the Josephine county democratic central committee, is somewhat peeved over the fact that the Courier did not publish in full Wilson's partisan appeal to the vot ers to return a democratic congress. As a consequence, Mr. Churchwood has issued circulars containing the appeal and has had them distributed. The Courier Is not at present car rying the full Associated Press ser vice, hence the full statement of Wilson was not published, although the true substance of the president's appeal to the voters was printed. Temporary Policeman Churchwood says: "The Rogue River Courier pub lished such garbled portion of the president's appeal as the publisher thinks his readers should have." Such a statement from the demo cratic secretary was purposely twist ed, or else it displays ignorance to a marked degree on his part, as the Courier printed the news as sent out by the Associated Press the Courier having absolutely nothing to do with constructing the article in question. Mr. Churchwood is not a subscriber to the Courier, but the fact that he closely reads the paper is deeply appreciated. Keep Olson on bench toy writing In bis name November 6th. (Adv.l ATTENTION!

PRICES REASONABLE Phone ltM Crater Lake Motor Co. MEDFORI), OREGON THE "FLU" SITUATION The order from the surgeon gen eral of the United States that all schools be closed and remain closed until the present epidemic of Influ enza is stamped out is no doubt looked upon by some, as foolish. But the order was no doubt sanctioned by the administration end the war department, and is mandatory. Those in charge of the public health are supposed to know more about the influenza menace than does the average citizen, therefore their course is no doubt the proper one to take, regardless of the fact that Christian Scientists declare that "the right attitude of the mind wards off influenza," and who now ask "has the world gone mad?" The opinions expressed by For eign Secretary Zimmerman to Am bassador Morgenthau at the begin ning of 1917 are interesting in the light of present events, says the Oregonian. They show that Germany was encouraged to make war by the devotion of Americans, particularly of President Wilson, to pacifism hence that a reputation for loving peace aggravates danger of war. If the United States had had a presi dent who showed more zeal to mal tain American rights than to keep peace, the world might have remain ed at peace.
