FIVE HUNDRED HOBOS IN GRANTS PASS More Than That Number Past Through Each Month A Serious Danger. Neither weather nor finauuial con ditions affect the migration of the hobos, for they come and go with a nevei eiidinjj procession along the Southern Pacific the heat of the Sura nier nor the snow of Winter dicinay ing them. In order to form an esti mate of the number of tramps that pass through this city each mouth. Night Marshal Ueorge Wooldridge kepi tally on them during January. During the month he counted 209 lioboe, that he saw, and there was probably as many more hid in box cars, on brakebeams, on tops of cars and those who jumped off the trains as they entered the yard limits and supaked on through. . The day trains aUo carry inauy tramps so it is safe to assume that between 600 and 800 tramps passed through Grants Pass during January. Owing to the weather of that month being the severest of the year the hobo travel for January Is without doobt lighter than for the other months of the year. There is no doubt but that ttiere are 1000 tramps a month passing over the Southern Pacific road in Rogue P.ivcr Valley. These holders of passes that are not revokable by railroad officials, ex cept by means of the heavy boot of a husky brakeman, have no preference or scruple as to where they will ride on a train. Their usual lace is inside a freiyht car, but if an open car is not handy they will swing on the truck frame, breakbeam or stayrods nnder a car. They also ride on top of passtn- ger oars, lying fiat to keep from being observed and to prevent being blown off. On the "blind baggage," is another place where the tramp rides iu safety and free from molestation of the trainmen. This "blind bag gage" iu on the drawheads between baggage cars that are not vestiboled and between the mail car and tender. And they are not loth to riding ou the pilot of the locomotive, the cold wind and the possible danger having no terrors for them. This regiment of tramps that are passing through this Valley each mouth usually have no money but that does not mean that they go with out eating. They eat, and live well, for who ever saw a hungry, ema ciated hobo? What they can not beg of women, through the pity or fear they arouse, they steal. Thus each railroad community has to feed a large number of able bodied men, who are seeking work aud never flni it. The tramp element in the United States is steadily increasing and how to check it is the problem of today. Alabama has solved it so effeotually that there is not a hobo in the state, and a tramp would sooner cross the dead-line about a pest bouse than to go into that state. Alabama has the otuin-gang system of working con victs in coal and iron mines and on other contract work, and life in an ordinary penitentiary is a picnic beside that in a chain-gang. As every man who is caught beating his way on a train in Alabama is given a long term in the gang the hobos keep clear of that sta'e. Oregon has a law that makes it a misdemeanor for a perBon to steal a ride on a train, but it is not euforced, as the tramps would re taliate aud cause so many wrecks in the sparcely settled sections that the railroad men bear with them the best they can. HEALTH Means the ability to do a good day's work, without ondue tatigue aud to find life worth living. You cannot have indigestion or oonrtipatiou without its upsetting the liver and polluting the blood. Such a condi tion may be best and quickest relieved by Herbine, the best liter regulator that the world has ever known. Mrs. D.W.Smith, writes, April 8, 1903: "I use Herbine, and find it the best medicine for constipation and regulat ing the liver I ever used. " 60 cents at National Drug Co., and at Koter mund's. Woman Suffrage Meeting. Miss Laura Clay of Kentucky, one of the ablest lecturers of the National American Woman Suffrage Associa tion, will be heard in Grants Pass the coming week. Miss Clay, who if at nrownt engaged as a lecturer for the Oregon State Equal Suffrage Associa tion is a woman of superior attain ments. She is a member of the cele brated Clay family, so prominent in American History. It was ber kins man, Henry Clay who ottered the rnbered statement, "I would rather be right than be president!" Her father, Caseins M. Clay, wtiue minister to Russin, negotiated the puicbase of Alaska, and ber brother, Brutes J. Clay is at present minister to Switxerland. Miss Clay's gift o? oratory is an inheritance, and her ability and earnestness make ber a most delightful speaker. Grants PafS should gWs her a large audience. THE MODERN FARMER A PROGRESSIVE MAN He Attends Institutes and Learns New Methods for Profit . cxble Farming. V0LCAN0NES IN I NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Were the Last In the United States Burned Trees Still Standing in Cinders, The Oregon ian, as well as the other big papers of Oregon, are of late devot- ( ing considerable space to farmers in-, stitutes an I doing all possible to . arouse a stronger interest in them by the farmers. The following article. appeared in the editorial columns of ; the Oregoniau last Saturday -and it j makes so nianav strong points in favor i of the farmers instituted that the Courier herewith publishes it in full: Members of the faonlty of the Oro- gon State Agricultural College will tour the Kogue River Valley during the present month, lecturing at var ious points for the benefit of farmers and stockmen. The importance of fiese meetings and of the lectures given upon various topics of interest to farmers cannot be over-estimated. We are living in a world of industrial change, and in no department is this mors apparent than in that of agri culture. Old methods of farming have literally passed awaj, and where they have not the worse for the farmers. This first of all indusries has been prone to follow lines set tor it by the necessities that waited upon primitive conditions to tread year after year the same furrows, plowing and sow ing them with constantly dwindling crops. Wheat was the Btaple product in Oregon for so long that it was diffi cult to make farmers realize that they could grow any other crop. There was a good reason for this in the old conditions. First of all, it was im possible to ship perishable products by slow methods of transportation to our far-distant markets. Wheat was the only product that would boar the strain of the long voyage and find at the end ready market. Isolation brooded over the great Pacific North west and its farmers accepted the situation and raised wheat until it came to be second nature to plow and sow and reap and thresh and gather this cereal into barns. Habit is hard to break, and this habit had become ingrained into the very nature of Oregon farmers. Henoe they were not quick to respond to the overtures offered by a widening market aud qnick transportation for diversified agriculture. Within recent years, however, this habit has yielded to persistent and intelligent instruction in the better way aud many Oregon farmers have learned the secret of making farming pay by having something to sell every month in the year. That others may learn this lesson and profit by it is the object of these farmers' meetings the basio purpose, indeed, of the State Agricultural College. The Grange supplies, and iu years past supplied, almost exclusively, the social features, of rural life. It went beyond that and essayed to instruct farmers in their interests as to pri es, the time to Bell, methods of transpor tation, etc., but it remained for a later day to give instruction based up on careful experiment in regard to widening the scope of agriculture to meet the demands of a broader mar ket. A Menses to Health. Kidney trouble is an insidions danger, and many people are victims of a serious malady before the symp toms are recognized. Foley's Kiduey Cure corrects irregularities and strengthens and builds v.p- the kid neys, and it should be taken at the first indication of kidney trouble, as it is impossible to have good health if the kidneys are deranged.

Mule Farm for Rogue River Valley Jacksou countr is to have a mule farm, such as are becoming common in Eastern Oregon and Washington and which are among the big money makers of these sections. J. W. Dodge from Starbuck, Wash., has bought a fine 455 acre farm near Talent, so the Tidings states, and will at once stock it. He brings with him from Washington a oar load of brood mares and a fine jack, and also a car load of young mules. The mines and timber in Rogue River Valley will make for years to come a big demand for freight teams, and on long, hard hauls moles are far better than horses. This was proveu last Summer in bauling matte from the Takilma smelter. The horse teams when they arrived in Grants Pass from the 43 mile trip through the heat and dust wonld be jaded and almost worn out, while the mules not fretting at all and sweating but little, would come trudging into town but little the worse for the stifling dost and sweltering beat, and by the next morning be all fresh for the re turn trip. At the opening of the season Capt. Molutire had snm . of his wagons hauled by mixed teams of horses and males,' but soon all mules had to be pot Jo as tbs horses could not stand the work like their long eared cousins. Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak, in California, together with the several score of lesser volcanic coups and vents, have ejected an enormous amount of material in the past. The accumulation of volcanio lock is several thousand feet in thickness, filling a great pe-existiog basin which ouce separated the northern end of the Sierra Nevada from the Klamath mountains of Northern California and Southern Oregon. The latest volcanic eruptions in California, and probably in the United States, is that at what is known as the cinder cone, about 10 miles east of Lassen Peak. In the bed of cinders and ashes which surrounds this cinder cone still stand the snags of pine trees, killed by the heat and gases accompanying the last eruption of voclanio debris in this oonntry, Juat how long ago ' the last outburst occurred is not positively known, but is placed within 100 years. Al though no eruptions has occurred since the settlement of the state by white people, there is no assurance that an eruption may not recur in the Lassen Peak region at any time, though there is no indication of any suoh approach ing catastrophe at present. There are numerous hot springs and steam vents in the region whioh Indicate that the fires are only slumbering. Mining and Scientific Press. According to the fine weather pre vailing it begins to look like gentle Annie had come early this rear. Doney Brothers are preparing to set out a large vineyard on the land which they recently bought of J. S. Jensen. , Geo. W. Bailey has secured the contract for carrying the mail for the next four years from Davidson to Ar plegate. Our farmers are busy as bees plow ing and sowing grain and if this weather holds -ont for awhile there will be a big crop raised here this year. R. F. Iwinan and Leslie Bailey were at Davidson this week on busi ness connected with the Farmers In stitute to be held at Provolt on the 17th inst. J. H. Tompkins and several others in this locality will set out quite a number of fruit trees this Winter and Spring c insisting principally of ap ples. As we have the soil and favorable climate here there is no reason why our foot hills and npland should not be producing thousands of boxes of nice red apples. Croup Begins with the symptoms of a com mon cold ; there is chilliness, sneez ing, sore throat, hot skin, qnick pulse, hoarseness and impeded respira tion. Give frequent small doses of Ballard's Horehound Syrup, the child will cry for it, and at the first sign of a croupy cough apply frequently Bal lard's Snow Liniment to the throat. Mrs. A. Vliet, New Castle, Colo., writes, March 13, 1U02: "I think Ballard's Horehound Syrup a wonder ful remedy, and so pleasant to take." For sale by National Drug Co. md Nicholas Toss, who has a fine ranch on Applegate near its confluence with Rogue river, was In Grants Pass Mon day, and he was among the first at the sheriff's ofilce to pay his taxes. Mr. Toss is engaged in raising stock and hay, and he also has 12 acres to hops. Last year he leased his bop yard to Frank Maochat and H. Dean for five years. Messrs. Mauchat & Dean are not discouraged over the hard lnck of the hootnen last year and are now at work putting their yard in shape for a big crop for this year. Mr. Toss stated that bis wife, whom he had left in Grants Pass some time since for med'eal treatment has so far recovered from a severe attack of rheumatism that she is able to walk about the house. With the coming of dry west'ier she hopes to folly regain her health. Failed, All efforts have failed to find a bet ter remedy for coughs, colds and lung troubles than Foley's Honey and Tar. It stops the cough, heals the lnnss and prevents serious results from a cold. J. N. Patterson, Nashua, Iowa, writes: ''Last Win ter I had a bad cold on my lours and tried at least half a dozen advertised rough medicines and bad treatment from two physlniana without getting any benefit.
