COURIER GROWS WITH GRANTS
PASS.
Grants Pass is growing and the
Courier in glowing, as ii all the
othor live business enterprises in the
olty. With thin weok the Courier
-enlarges from a four-paga to an
eight page paper, thongh for this
edition 10 pages are printed to give
space to the large amount of local
news and adverting. With the fine
oorps of corespondents sending in
newa from all sections of Joseph inn
county and the large amount of local
matter that is to tie ran, together
with the liberal advortiisDg spaoo
that the local merchants take the
eight pages are now required and it
ia probable that many of the editions
for thin, year will oontain 10 pages,
with the certiinty that the Courier
will bo further eularged by another
year.-
Tlio Courier has more than averaged
a new sabsoribnr a day for 11)05 and
the flatturiiig beginning for 1UOH In
dicates that a larger increase will be
had for thin year. With this splendid
and substantial encouragement it will
be the plan' to as steadily improve the
Courior and to keep it np to the high
standard of being the Lest newspaper
In Southern Oregon.
Through the courtesy of W. J,
Wlmer the Courier will be able to
give a series of articles on the pioneer
days of Grants Pass. The Courier
was the first paper published iu
Grants Pahs and Mr. Wlmer soon after
it was started bought the paper and
published it for several years, making
it the lending paper of Hogne Klvor
Valley, a position It has continued
to hold. Mr, Wlmer, who now re
sides near Waldo, where ho lias for
years pro ltably operated a big placer
mine, is a Huh descriptive writer and
his article based on incidents do
ploted iu the columns of the Courier
during pioneer ('ays, he having the
old flies of the paper, will be hUltly
interesting tc the residents of Grants
Pass, of today, a city of over 4000
population aid the commercial
metropolis of Southxru Oregon.
VALUE OF FARMERS' IN3TI
TUTKS.
The North Paoitlu Rural Spirit of
Portland, oonoiaely states iu the sub
joined the reil value that institutes
are to farmers. It is not so much
what is learned at the institute, m it
is the ride and interest that is given
to the farmer In his vocation and the
realUatlou that farming is one of the
most complicated and painstaking
bnsiucMa that a uiau oau engage, if it
is carried on as a money making under
taking, and uot as a meaus of mere
existence as is the case of so many
ranchers :
Many valuable ideas can'alway be
picked up at the farmers' institutes,
but there is not really as much iu
these as In the awakened desire to
learn. This rubbing up against others
and hearing what they are doing and
how they are doing it is a great thing
to lift us nut of the rut and set us to
think inn anil .studying. It broadens
the hori.on of our mental view and
open up new fields of opportunity,
and sets us to studying and learning
abc ei I many interesting and profitable
things right within our reach that we
have unconsciously been passing day
by day unnoticed.

Miners' blanks at the Courier oflke.
FARMERS BLUE LEDGE
NOW TO BE DEVELPOED
BU Crew of Men to Be Employed
and a Compressor and Power
Drills Used.
E. L. Jones, known among mining
men as Coolgardie Jones and Globe
trotter Jones, by reason of his having
visited about every big mining dis
trict in the world, spent Tuesday in
G rants Pass.
Mr. Jones now makes bis head
quarters in Jacksonville and he is
largely interested in the Blue Ledge
district He bas a number of promis
ing claims in that district and be
was also an owner in the famous
Bine Ledge group lately sold to a
big New York oopper company. Mr.
Jones will act for a time as a foreman
for the company while they are get
ting in readlneas for the extensive de
velopment work that will undertake.
The general superintendency of the
mine will be held by F. W. Carna
ban, who arrived in Jackgsonville
recently from Meizoo, where he was
in charge of a big copper mine be
longing to the company now operat
ing the Blue Ledge property.
Men and material are now being
assembled at Bine Ledge and a com
pressor aud set of power drills ar
rived at Jacksonville to be hauled to
the mine, 27 miles np the Applegate.
This compressor will be operated
by a gasoline engine. There is plentv
of timber about Blue Ledge, but the
company uses gasoline compressors In
their preliminary development work
as they And it more economical than
steam power. John R. Allen, who
oouducted the negotiations for the
purchase of tho mine has gone back
to New York. When the development
work has progressed far enough to
prove the value of the mine and if the
showing then warrants a smelter, Mr.
Allen and ohter principal men of the
oompany will come to the mine and
arrange for putting in a smelter and
for railrrad connections with th't
Southern Pacifio either at Grants Pass
or Medford.
A Healing Gospel.
The Rev. J. 0. Warreu, pastor of
Sharon Baptist Church, Belair, Ga.,
says of Eleotrlo BitteK: "It's a God-
seud to mankind. It cured me of lame
back, Btiff joints, aud oomplete physi
cal collapse. I was so weak it took
me half an hour to walk a mile. Two
bottles of Electric Bitters have made
me so strong I have just walked
three miles in 50 mluutea and feel like
walking three more It's made a new
uiau of me." Greatest remedy for
weakness and all Stomach, Liver and
Kidney complaints. Sold under
auarantee at all drug stores. Price
500.
, School closed in the New Hope dis.
triflt on the Applegate last Friday
after a successful term of six months.
The teacher was Stephen Jewell. Mr.
Jewell is one of the most experienced
teachers iu Josephine oouuty and has
probably been iu the work longer than
any other teacher in the couuty, for
it was US years auo tint he taught his
first school in Kentucky, he theu be
ing a young man, just nut of college.
In the intervening years he has taught
much of the time iu the live differ
ent states in which he has resided.
School teaching though has not been
his only vocitlon for ho served two
terms as couuty assessor iu Texas.
Since ho settled iu tl.is couuty with
his family he has been hugely en
gared in farming, teaching only dur
ing the Winter, mouths. He has a
good farm ou the Jerome Prairie
road, three miles west oi Grants I'aas.
Absolutely
DISTINCTIVELY A CREAM OF
TARTAR BAKING POWDER
It docs not contain an atom of phos
phatic acid (which is the product of bones
digested in sulphuric acid) or of alum
(which is one-third sulphuric acid) sub
stances adopted for other baking powders
because of their cheapness.
GOLD KING MINE
TO BE DEVELOPED
A Deep Shaft to Be Sunk Gaso
line Engine Hoist to
Be Used.
J. L. Pennington arrived In Grants
Pass Sunday from Fort Worth, Texas,
to spend the greater part of the time
for the next six munths on Jospehine
creek, superintending the develop
ment of the Gold King quartz mine,
on which he bas a bond. Mr. Pen
nintgon remained in Grants Pass un
til; Saturday, placing orders for sup
plies and tools aud arranging de'ails
connected with bis business, when he
left for Kerby from which place he
goes to his mine.
Mr. Pennington will develop his
property by a method that is as yet
little used in this district and that is
to run no tnnnels, but sink a shaft
and follow down on the vein until he
has a mine or a hole in the ground.
He will put on a hoist operated by
a gasoilne engine. Mr. Pennington
is a successful mining man and haa
ample capital to fully develop and to
equip his mine. There is also a placer
mine on the property that haa prov
en profitable. It is equipped with a
giant and has a good water supply.
The mine bas been in operation for
the last six weeks, with Ed Daily
as superintendent, and a gucd run
hns been made.
Mr. Pennington has made several
previous trips to the Illinois Valley
and he is of the opinion that the
proposed Grants Pass and Waldo rail
mad will be a paying line and will
double the value of all property in the
territory it will cover.
Failed.
All efforts have failed to Bud a bet
ter remedy for coughs, colds and lnug
troubles than Foley's honey and
Tar. It stops the cough, heals the
lungs and prevents serious results
from a cold. J. N. Patters n,
Nashua, Iowa, writes: "Last Win
ter I had a bad cold on my lungs aud
tried at least half a dozen advertised
rough mediciues and had treatment
from two physicians without getting
any benefit. A friend recomuierded
Foley's Honey and Tar and two-thirds
of a bottle cured me. I consider it
the greatest cough and lung medicine
in the world. For sale by H. A.
Rotermuud.
