Advertising Kales. Hereafter the Rogue River Courier will not acoept complimentary tickets in payment of advertising annonnoing entertalnmens, etc., as all advertising carried in this paper most be on a cash basis. If the proprietor desires I tickets be wi'l porcba them, and if advertising is wanted it must be paid for in a similar manner. All uotices of entertainments, socials aud other church functions whiob are not planned for making money will be published as in the psst, free of any charge, but where an admission fee is charged all soch-jioticea must be jwid for at the regular advertising rates, viz: Scents per line per ifsoe. This plan lias been adopted by the great majority of newspapers and the Courier believes that the plan is a just one to all concerued. The newspaper busi ness today is conducted along the same lines as any other business enterprise and should be considered as such. Tbe Courier advertising rate oard is also amended, commencing with tbe 1st of March, and the commercial rate will be 15 cents per inch per issue for all advertising occupying less than 20 inches of space; more than 20 in ches of apace will be charged for at tbe rate ot 10 cents per incb for space and 5 cents per incb for com position.

JUDGE BOOTH WILL RETIRE FROM OFFICE Good Koevds Advocates Induce Commissioner Lovele.ce to be Candidate Again. Judge J. O. Booth returned Tuesday from Gal ice where he had spent tbe three previous days in looking over the road situation in that part of the conuty. At the January term of oounty court it was decided to open the Galiue road around Taylor hill. There will be over one-half a mile of the new section most of which will be rock work along the hillside fao ing Rogue river. The present road goes over the bill and has on both sides grades that are from 12 to 21 per cent rendering it almost impossible for a loaded team to pass over it. There is considerable travel over the road by reason of the extensive min-! iug operations in the Galice district and the betterment of this road has become a necessity. The opening of this road will be under the supervis ion of County Commissioner C. F. ! Lovelace, who will put a foroe of men at work as soon aa the weather is settled. County Judge J. O. Booth desires the annooncmnt made that be will not be a candidate for re-election. His health has been somewhat impair ed the past year and he wishes to be free to take a possible extended trip this Summer and an entire rest from both oflioial duties and freedom from business cares. He has been requested by many promineut men, both demo crats aud republicans, to permit the one of bis name as a candidate but he feels that he most decline the honor though deeply appreciating tbe confi dence that his friends in both political parties have in him. It is now definitely understood that County Commission C. F. Lovelaoe has conseuted to be a candidate for re election. To his friends, in re sponse to their inquiries he said he would make no effort to secure tbe office again, but if the citizens of the county were so well satisfied with his work as commissioner aa to desire hia services for another term that be would acoept the honor, if elected, and wonld give tbe duties of the position his closest attention. Mr. Lovelace is one of the most successful farmers in Josephine county and has one of tbe best kept farms in Rogue River Val ley at Wilderville. For several years before settling at Wilderville Mr. Lovelace was a bridge carpenter by trade and wa a a foreman of a bridge gang i'or the Southern Pacific and also for an Eastern Railroad company. During hia term aa commissioner he has built several bridgea for the j county hiring a crew of men and doing j tho work for from 20 to 40 per ceot less than could have been had by con tract. He is credited with being able I to get more work out of a crew of , men, and do it without any show of i authority, than any other man who ' has worked on the roads of Josephine county. Mr. Lovelace is a strong ad vocate of good roads and be baa very practical ideas on the subject. For several years past be has been reading all the publications bearing on the subject and he is now one of the best posted men In Josephine coonty oa the methods of modern road building. Tbe good roads advocates generally throughout the county rega'dleu of politics are favor lag Commissioner Lovelace's re-election aod as this ele ment are now big factor in county affairs their wish will quite probably be made effective by tbe eleotion of Mr. Lovelaoe.
