M. liAifSbnoi'uii ol Rossburg Tlio Courier liss never refused any one the iri ilcgu of examining its flics. The excellence of liia former and present work, 1 Roy Bai-tlntf recom mendation for re-election and it Hix-aks far hinder tlian words in hi behalf. The courU'sy, el leorf nines and helpful ncs with which lie rret every vis itor to the county clerk's office, uo mat ter how bony or overworked he muy be, will bring him many a vote on election day. The county should roll np for him tlio biggest majority on record, to how it appreciation of first cIuhs official work. A. M. Crawford of RcW.burg, repub lican candidate for attorney general, is tlio only southern Oregon man on the state ticket, and thin fact will doubt less lncreaMe his ixipulnrlty throughout this portion of tho state. He Is emi nently qualified for the office for which he Is a ruudidnto. He ha a high standing in the legal profession and has 20 year' experience in the practice of law, mainly in Douglas and Coon counties. Ho i a man of integrity and fully raiblc, if elected, of filling the office in a manner which will bo a credit to the stale of Oregon. At the coming election, the voter of JonepMno county will have an op portunity to vote on theproioltioii to establish a ' comity high school in Grunt Pan. Thl is a matter of very keeu intercut to every one interested lu educational matter and particularly to tliOMe parent who have children whom they are endeavoring to educate. Tho benefit which would accruo from a county high school are of very great IniiKirtunco and tho greatest degree of benefit would lx derived by tho dis trict outHldo of Gnuil Pa, for it would place all the Mtudeut of the county on tho same footing a to rights of attendance. At present, the Grunt Pans high school being only a district school, student entering it from other district are required to pay tuition, an item of expense which is often unfile I cut to keep tn aeut out of the school. If a county high sc.iool is established any student of the county may attend without ly lug tuition, while the additional ex pense to tho taxpayer would be slight and iucousideruble, perhaps oue-teuth of a mill on the dollar. If a county high school i cKtahllHhcd, one more year will be added to tho present course and graduates of thia school w ill be fitted to enter a university without flrHt having put In oue or two year at some other and crhapa re. iiioteedueutlonitl Institution. It. would greatly advance the opiKirtunitie of Josephine county student for higher education and, in our opinion, the voters should give it a hearty support and every oue should vote on the ques tion. It takes a majority of tho votes cast to carry and those who fail to vote on tho question will materially injure the chances for success. I I Tho Olwerver goes largely Into statistics to show that it was not in existence at the time tho contract for the Jireseut owner book was awarded and infers therefrom that it could not have defended the book later on, wheu It wits conducted by its present editor. It admits, luadvcrt.iiitly, no doubt, that a contract was uiade by the county court of that time and the money that Mr. limit h received for compiling the IkhiIi was uiid by the county court. It docs not say , as it should to keep its statements anil in fcrciices in proportion, that Mr. Hooth broke into the county treasury and' sii'xed the cash and ill this the Observ er mini fulls short of the high standard which he seems to have set for him self. He conies nearer it when he re lieves himself of the silly remark : "Wluit will he do wheu he gets the lilies in his own hands?" in which he iiiMilts his readers by plain allegation of stupidity. Having found an ancient editorial in which Jerry Nun an called the present owner book a "steal," he reprints it over and over again and draws much political inspi ration therefrom, and asks with the grand air of one who delivers a din cher, "Was the Courier wrong then or uowr" "Then" was the time when Mr. Nuuau used to refer to the Ulnar ver editor as the " idioter of the Or nery Obfusticutor" and similar pet lutmc. Answer the quest ion yourself, Mr. Chaussc, was the Courier w roug "then" or now. You wid " He must have reported what he thought true." And, by the way, it would be in teresting to have the Oluerver, if it ha any opluious licsidc those drawn front tho Courier, to ex pre oue of It ou.

Quilt in Interesting story I doing the round of the prei regarding a Joee phln lost mine being found. On Friday H. D. Johnson, who recently arrived in thl city from low, came into Oranle Pan with s bag of nugget and gold dust that he had removed from a discoveiy on Jacques creek, of Jump off-Joe. The discovery la the mine that had been lost for fifty years, sccordisg to the story of Johnson told in Grants l'a on hi re turn from Jacques creek. Johnson aaid he was grubttaked to Southern Oregon by capitalist of Colo rado Spring, Colo. Tki capitalist bad been in Southern Oregon during the pioneer day. Among other he made a rich discovery on Jarqne creek. This find ws In tb nilure of ss auriferous gravel bed, rich in coar.e gold and nug gets.

He lound Jacques creek and had proapected but a liltli while on the rich gravel bara whan be removed $2u In cotrat gold, aside from a number of good-iized nuggete. Johnaon went nearly wild with delight, realising that ha had lound the luat miuo. Tht claim and water rights bad been taken up, but were purchased by John son for $1,600, the owaera not knowing of the diacovery. Johnaon returned to Colorado Saturday, but elated that he wtuld couit back to Uraut i'asa in about B nitulh and would begin the work of equipping the mine with a complete hydraulic plant.

The reader of the Courier ill remember Ihe very bitter fight mtde on Judge Voluoy Colvig in 18U2 by the Courier when Jerry Numn waa ita editor and proprietor and those who read the Observer it ti lt lime, will remember how the Observer attempted to defend the Judge. The Courier at that time made the preaeut ownership book con tract its special object of attack because Judge Colvig gave the patronage of the county to the Observer, when it had been enjoyed prior lo that time by the Conner The Observer anewered Mr. Nunan's atticka and defended the present owner ship Uijk contract and repeatedly an nounced that Jie preaent ownership book wai the very beet money saving device which had ever been purchased by the county. Aa the cowardly pub islier ol the Observer refutes to allow in inspec tion of bie files, the exact language used cannot bt given. This fact stands out prominently; the Courier has changed ownership and editors; the Observer il still in Ihe same hands and under the same management. The Courier of VM2 ia not responsible for the utterance of the Courier of 192, year belore the p epeut owner took charge, but however plain this fact may be to people of brains and intelligence it will probably never be understood by the dispenser of soda- aaler alio has nothing to understand aith, and alio never hud an idea above the level of an oyster. For the benefit of those who are not ucipiaiuted with the true facts regarding the pte-ent ownership book contract laud the Observer's publisher doc not wsnt them understood), let it be taid there was no stipulated price made for tlis book, but Ihe agreement was that 25 mills should be paid to the contractor Mr. Booth, upon all property brought to light in 1892 which had escaped taxation prior lo that year. The eervicea of two men who thoroughly underetood starch ing reconlB were bad for six months and numerous trips were made to Salem in order to discover the school land uld in Ihe county. But what was the result? has beeu asked. One hi. nuked anu thirty-six inoisANu acres of taxable pioperty which hid theretofore escaped taxation was brought to light and Jose phine county has had the benefit since. Was it a graft lo bring all this to light? Was it a graft to put the thou sandi of dollars into the treasury which Josephine has enjoyed? Probably aoda water ltd popcorn venders may have an impreseion (they have no ideas) that it was, but thinking tople, who have the welfare of the county at heart, do not believe it. The utlacka which the Observer lias mtde upon J. O. Booth are worthy of i lb publisher, for what moie could be ex pected from one who will stop a leading physician on tht street, aa did the Ob seiver's proprietor, tnd ask, ''Doctor, who is this fellow Kipling (he pio nounced it 'Kypling') who is sick in New York, that the papers hive so much to eiy ibut?" The question ex hibit the knowledge of litersture, ind of one of the greiteet literary men of the se, which tbia would be wielder of pub lic opinion has.
