With the closing of this school year, which has been one of the most successful in the history of the Grants Pass schools, the board has been considering various plans for the still further betterment of the educational interests of this city. A new eight-r;om brick building has been decided on to give accommodations to the steadily increasng attend ance. As the very large majority oft he scholars attending the poblo schools never get beyond the High School work the board has determined to pnt the Gants Pass High School in shape for doing even better work than baa heretofore been possible, though in efficiency it ranks with the best in the state. In anticipation of a larger attendance the room heretofore occupied by the Eighth grade in the Central building will be given over to the High Soehool. The parti tion will be taken out and this room will be joined with a small one so as to give a large class room. The apparatus in the labratory will be increased and the library will be enlarged making it very coinplute for reference work. The course of study has been given a careful revision through the ioint work of the hoard und ntTSnnurintanrii.nl Turner and for practical results in fitting boys and girls to successfully meet the requirements of life and to be able to earn a living, it is not exoelled by even the Portland High School. Stenogaphy has been added to the business oourse and it is expected to add typewriting another year. Tbe High School is free to all scholars in Josephine oocnty and a iijuii enor. is to De made to get a large attendance this coming year from all tbe schools of the couoty ine louowing is tne announcement that has been prepaed tor the scbol year of 1906-7 Following l thn ortnrsA nf aft id v nf 41ia ftrn.nta Pass High School as adopted by the Board of Educa tion, May, 1906 : lat Yaar of Hi School U Yaar ol Hl.h School f Are you troubled with Bed C Bugs, Ants or Flees, if so get a bottle of our ;M(iim um s Bugine It will destroy all of these insects BED BUGS?

After starting in on one course it is very un desirable to change to some other. However, it is the desire of the Board of Education and Superintendent to give pupils as much choice as possible In the selec tion of their studies. In any year's work the classes in English and Mathematics will be required. (All other classes may be designated as eleetives. ) There is no variation from this rule and four full credits will be required of each pupil each year. The classes whioh extend through only one-half year count as one-half credit. Rhetorical work will be required of all High School pupils. As far as the program will permit pupils for the session of 190(5-7 may select their studios so as to in clude the English and Mathematics of their year in High School, and sufficient elective studios assigned for the same year to make iu all four full credits.

' "i" ArL7 CRAIOri"P.""A7"' The San Francisco Chronicle said one day last week: "Sau Francisco for the past fortnight has been abso lutely free from disorder and virtually free from crimes of violence. There have been no street brawls. No drunken brute has beaten his wife. No gamblers have murdered each other in low resorts. Except for some dealings with sneak thieves, the occupation of the police courts is gone. It is a most impressive object lesson ot the value to society of the restriction of the liquor traffic. We are promised a continuance of this peaceful condition for a considerable time to come, save only as dranken men may drift over from Oakland, where the authorities have been so reckless aB to allow saloons to open. We may be compelled to renew the quarantine agaiuft Oakland." Such a statement, coming from such a source, is significant. In its period of terrible affliction, the city of San Francisco not only not along without saloons, but would tolerate none. Possibly some children will live to see great American cities, even if not stricken with calamity, "fre from disorder and crimes of violence," where there will be "no street brawls"; where for a fortnight "no drunken brute has beaten his wifo", where "tramblers have net murdered each other in low resorts" all of which, and much more, more than can le told or even more than hinted at in Tirint, is due to the liquor traffic, to the saloons. s-alooas are generally recognized as an evil, and it is said they are a iiecpfsjiry evil. It seems from this statement in the f-au F'rancisro Chronicle that for a fortnight they were not a necessary evil in that great and hitherto wicked city. There Is a lirge suggestion iu this fact.

That there is a difference in the profit to the horseraiser of thn little horse that only sells for fHO to f 100 and of the big horse that readily sells for f200 to f2;i0 is becoming better known each year among the farmers of Oregon. And the farmers of Jose phine connty propose to take advant age of this greater profit in large horses as is proven by their importing last year two of as large and fine Percherous as ever were brought to the Pacific Coast. Other counties of Oregon have been raising heavy draft horses for some years past and the farmers have real ized big prices for their yonng horses as the following from the McMinn ville Ne s-Reiiortor tells of recent all's mane in Yamhill county : "That it pays to raise big horses has been demonstrated often, and the proof is still being placed before the people. C. Mitchell of Amity re cently sold a 4-year old "Gallant Stamp" colt to P. H. Dodge of Cheha lis, Wash., for t3")0 cash. About the same time the same man bought from Mr. Caldwell of Bllston a team of colts there and four years old, paying therefor tih. Stock raises of this county have been wise in improving thn grade of their animals, and they are now reaping the reward of such wisdom iu increased prices.

PROFITABLE POINTERS FOR GOAT RAISERS A Merlin Farmer Tells How He Makes Money Rais in. Go&ts. Editir Coorier: In regard to the Angora goat question I send you a clipping- from the Oregon Agricultur ist and hope it will interest some of the goat raisers of Southern Oregon. Thore are snme who think a grade back is just as profitable as a thorough bred, bnt thoy are far from right, as a thoroughbred will put in the first cross, at least a ponnd more Mohair and of a better quality, and by care ful breeding can increase the number of pounds and quality every year, and thus make Angora goat raising a very profitable industry. We have just botighr another flock of good gratie Angoras and will in a few years ' have a bunch of very fine Angoras as we have !i0 thoroughbreds. We only keep the best of Billies, our old ones' clip for this Spring was 10 pounds and the Nannies clip from five to eight pounds. We have one grade kid that clipped 8ve pounds. We have a dog that herd the gouts and brings them home nights, so they are very little trouble. F. A. PIERCE. Merlin, May 20, 1 Of!. The Portland buyers of mohair sug gest to in that we urge upon the mo hair growers nf Southern Oregon the imiKirtanee of using good bucks in their rlock. They find that the mo hair clip of Southern Oregon averages as a whole 'much Iselow that of the Willamette Valley in quality. This is not surprising for most of the An gora raisers in that portion of the state are comparatively new in the business and it is no easy mutter for a beginner to get the is-st quality of st tndarrl goats. It is possible, how ever, to bring about improvemnt quite rapidly by buying good bucks and culling out as fast as possible the inferior, coarse-haired goals iu oue's flock. The natural conditions in Southern Oregon appear very favor able for the raisinir of Angora goats, and for the production of a fine quality of mohair. There is so much rough land in that portion of the state which is covered .with brush or shrubby tree irrowth that the An gora industry must eventually tie come one of much importance,' and ''.o.-e who are .-utrtlng will hasten 'I,. il v- I iprm nt of the industry by improving as fast a" possible the quality of their goats. Wo are pleased to inform the public that we have made ar rangements whereby we can give them the same VALUE and CUP QUALITY in COFFEES and TEAS as before the San Francisco disaster. We should be pleased to ex plain our rebate profit shar ing plan to you at any time; ask about it. For prompt service call up Phone 431.
