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

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.

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

Mr. Chaussc, was the Courier w roug
"then" or now. You wid " He must

Lost Mine Found.
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 bad Just begun work upon his
consult when he and hi companions
were attacked by Inditu and forced to
flet for their Uvea, lie left Southern
Oregon and went to Colorado, where he
tatdt hia fortune, lie did not forget hit
find In Southern Oregon, and alter fifty
year had psaaed he asnt hia friend John
ton here to aetrcb fur it. He mtde a
rough aketcb of the district, tnd, armed
with thia, Johnson came to Grants Pass
about two weeks ago. 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.

promptly refuted an eximinilion of
those tilra. 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

the level of an oyster.

numerous trips were made to Salem in

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

pected from one who will stop a leading

DOG SUICIDES FROM SHAME.
Hopeless DhiMitliiK of lis Master Wa
Too Much fnr the Intelligent
Hunter.
A fine bird do;; was given to a Uox
bnroiigh man one day lately, and the
pair went huntinir together. The dofr'g
work was wonderful; it flushed bird
after birr! ; il pave it matter the finest
shots that could he desired; but the
man missed and missed and mi.-sd,
until a small boy who had been trail
ing curiously in the rear was unable to
refrain nnj longer from shouting:
"Say. ler ilosr's all right, but you're on
the bum for fair, mister." After that,
having flunked 10 good shots, the mnn
went home, reports the PhKniIelphia
lterord. The dog, he noticed, was be
having ml d : j-. kept away from him,
avoided looking at him, st-enied thor
oiighiy iIMnartened and' ashamed.
And that iii-ht it hanged itself. There
could he but. one motive to Recount for
this suicide. The dog could not toler
ate a future that consisted of nothing
but a daily watching of its master's
hopeless shooting, and it had Imped
over the wooden fence from its kennel,
and by its chain, which wat too short!
had hanged itse'.f n few feet above Ihe
ground m the other ride, and so died.
An ini(iietionalile suicide and a par
donable one. the man's friend say, but
he insists that the d..g merely intend
ed to run back to its furmtr home
when It leaped the fence.
