Oregon, a second-class mail matter.
FRIDAY. MAY 11, 1906.
The Courier office installed this
week a Mentgeg folder,, a machine
which is a very important addition to
the mechanical equipment of the
office and whioh eliminates all the
laborious work of folding papers by
band and consequently disposes of
much of the rush and worry of "press
day." The new machine very ma
terially increases the lead already
possessed by the Courier over its com
petitors in the matter of equipment.
The campaigns are opening after an
ominous calm had prevailed in politi
cal circles for some time. The
successful candidates in the primaries
were taking a breathing time after the
efforts of the first campaign and are
conserving their energies In antici
pation of the effort which will
precede the June election. As to
whether or not the primary law is
a success there are diverse opinions,
and it is probable that the onsacoess
f n 1 candidates have a deep seated im
pression that it is not. This idea,
moreover, is not confined to the un
successful candidates but finds lodg
ment in the minds of many thinking
men throughout the state. It will re
quire yet more familiarity with it
and its workings before the voters can
render a definite verdict, (Jenerally
its operation seems to fairly satis
factory. One of the weakest points
of the method is this, that when
there are more than two aspirants for
the nomination for an office it can
easily happen that the plurality
favorite is not tUi choice of the ma
jority of the party and when there
are a nnmher of candidates it is possi
ble that the man getting the most
votes may he really obnoxious to a
majority of his party. Among the
candidates for state offices, outside of
the govemoiship, the bent adveitiser
is the man who stands the best chance
of winning; the man who spends his
money profusely or wisely in postage
stamps or display cards, for in most
cases the candidates are men of whom
the rauk and tile of the voters have
never even heard and are therefore In
competent to make an intelligent
choice. It is set u also that there is a
grand Held for a new line of manipu
lation in the introduction of dummy
cnudidales and splitting up the vote
in precincts. This dees not seem to
hive Ihmju done in the primary elec
tion just past but this sort of manipu
lation will doubtless bi resorted to
when the conditions are right. There
are points in which the new law is
greatl suH'rior to the old method
and it will require more familiarity
with it to determine just how its good
and bad points balance.
I r no volt :
Thomas I.ewinan of 1'rovolt was at
Orauts I'll- this week on business.
We are sorry to hear of Mrs. S.
Cook Mug very ill ami wish her a
speedy recovery.
W. Karris of Applegate was a visitor
st our burg this week and also visited
his many relative before returning.
The recent accident which occurred
last Wednesday to Mrs Kexford of
Applegate was quite startling, but did
uot prove fatal as everything proved
to be In her favoi.
The Provolt merchant, I,. V.
Smith, as 'at Grants Pass Friday
and took in the circus, returning Sun
day witli a load of groceries for his
store and blacksmith also.
Mrs. ILIcxin Ijtyton of this place,
ho left for SHkane, Wash., returned
Friday after a very short visit with
relatives, Mr aud" Mrs. Mvroii Wil
bur, formerly of Jacisou and Josop
blue counties.
We are having some fine weather
at Provolt at preseut and the pros
pects are good for a big crop this
season in all vegetable Flues. Hops
are niueM ahad of last season iu
growth and look much healthier aud
we e i peel a large output tins season
over that of last Fall.
The local teachers, institute, which
was held at the school house at 1'ro
volt, May 6, was 'one of the eveuta of
the season aud the first ever held in
this district aud one that everyone
should be proud of. At 10 a. m. the
institute was called to order by Hupt.
L. 8avage of Josephine county and
the following program was reudered :
"The Teachers' Fart," was present
ed by Chester Hut nam of the Provolt
school, aud many points were given
oil the teaching of children which
could be and should be taught at home
as well as iu the school rooms for the
advancement of tlupupil.
" "The Eighth Grade Urauuuar
Work" was Miss Aguew's topic winch
was clearly brought ont so all could
understand the ueed of a grammar
education. As a inirrespomleut 1 can
see the need of that study by eiKr
leuoe, aud the work of grammar was
one or tne most oenenclal lectures
presented before the salience.
"The Teaching of Arithmetic, Men
tal, " by 'Victor Dickey, of Missouri
t lat gave many useful thoughts iu
regard to learning mental arithmetic.
At 11 :80 the school was dismissed
and a fine dinner was prepared for the
superintendent and teachers under the
oaks around the school house, which
was heartily enjoyed by all present.
Afer dinner the young ladies enjoyed
themselves gathering wild flowers till
1 :80 when Superintendent Savage
called the institute to order. Afetr a
few minutes talk the audience was
addressed by J. A. Bish, of Grants
Pass, on "Teaching History," which
can be pat to practice by old as well
as the .school pupils. Mr. Bish had
bis subject outlined on the blackboard
as to the way children should be
taught to nnderstand history, which
I think is one of the best methods put
be'ore the pupils ;it is tbesame ai'map
drawing and other outlining subjects.
City Superintendent R. R. Turner
gave ns a lecture on "Temperance and
the Injuries of Strong Drink, "which
should be pnt in practice by all We
thank Mr. Turner for his good advice
and hope what he said may become
useful to many in our Valley.
The dosing speech was rendered by
Miss A. Htites, of Williams, on "Li
brary Needs in the Hohool Rooms. "
We all agree with Miss Stites; if
ohildren have tho proper books needed
they will learn much more in regard
to reading.
