R.ev. McLean Telia of Their
Prosperit) n.rtd ol The r
Building Schools and Roada
Roy McLean, who recently took a
position with the Hair-Riddle Hard-
ware
rived
Company and whose wife ar
from Portload last week, has
rented tor this month the residence of
A. E. Voorhies, while the latter and
bis wife are in the East. Rev. Robert
McLean is making his home with his
son, while in the city on bis vacation
from .bis missionary work in Porto
Rico. Mrs. McLean will arrive in
Grants Pass the first week in Jnly
from New Tork where she stopped to
visit relatives and take medical treat
ment, the four years residence in the
tropics having seriously Impaired
her health.
Owing to Mrs. McLean not being
able to stand the trring climate of
Porto Rico Rev. McLean will proba
bly give np his position as superin
tendent of Presbyterian missions in
that island. He expected to remain
here for at least three months as he
has not bad a rest from his ardious
work for four years but argent matters
hare arisen that may require him at
once to return to San Juan, where are
his headquarters. Though the Pres
byterian Mission Board desire that
i he continue in charge of the Porto
Rico mission field yet he feels that
he most give no the work for his
family's sake. Rev. McLean speaks
Spanish like a native and he has
gained a position of marked influence
witb the Porto Ricans and he re
grets to give np his missionary work.
Of Porto Rico an! conditions in
that island that is as large as the
Willamette Valley and has almost
doable the population of Oregon
Rev. MLoean says that the people are
taking to American ideas and customs,
though rather slowly owing to preju
dices arroused by disreputable Ameri
cans who come to the island as gov-
i ernmetit officials and as adventurers
I to exploit various schemes for getting
rich quickly. The Porto Means are
learning that this class of persons are
not representatives Americans and
they are gradually changing their ,
affiliations from Spain to the United ,
i States. Many young people arx being
i sent to American colleges to be edu
i cated and a large number of Porto
i Rico teachers are taking a course in !
i normal schools in the United States.
The Island is rapidly building np a
fine school system and school bonses
i are being erected by the hundred.
Both English and Spanish is taught in
i the schools. A system of macadam -j
ized highways are being constructed
in the Island that far excell the so
called roads in most of the Btates of
the Union. The agricultnral re
sources of trie Island are being rapidly
developed and the Porto Ricans are
now more prosperous than at any
previous time in the history of the
Island. They are very much disap
pointed and chagrined that they are
; not made oitizens of the United
States. Living under the American
flag and paying taxes
they think they
are entitled to citizenship especially
as all classes of foreigners, no matter
how ignorant may become a citizen
of the United States se soon as he has
landed in the country.
; Kerby and Placer to Celebrate.
I So far as announced Kerby and
Placer are the only places in Jose
phine county that will celebrate the
Fourtn of July. Posters were printed
this week at the Courier offioe an
nouncing that a fine patriotic program
! would be the leading feature of the
Fourth at both Kerby and Placer,
with games and sports for amusement
for the remainder of the day.
I Grants Pat's will not observe the
Fourth this year as the State G. A. R.
encampment to be held next week in
' this city will give vent to all the pa
triotism and take up all the money
that would otherwise go to make a
celebration a success. There is talk
of a celebration on the Applegate but
nothing definite as yet has been done
toward arranging for it.

If all the birds were exterminated
man could not inhabit tin world
longer than a score of years is the
opinion of a oelebrated naturalist who
has carefully studied insect life. In
spite of the sprays and poisons that
might be used the inseota would so
multiply by countless millions that
they would destroy all vegetation and
rener the earth a barren waste. Yet
for all the good the birds do man is
their greatest enemy.
Mrs. George Dirking has located
here to teach musio and painting.
Her methods in musical touoh and
technique are from recent German
schools. She makes a specialty of
beginning children by Kindergarten
aids and improves advanoed pupils
