Dr. C. R Ray, president of the Rogue River Valley Development League, and President G. F. Billings, of the Southern Oregon Chantauqna Association, are getting plans well nnder way to make Development League Day, July 17, of the Chautau qua assembly one of the biggest events in the way of boosting Southern Ore gon ever held In this part of the state, President Billings writes the Courier that he ha secured Hon. Tom Richardson, manager of the Portland Commercial club, Col. E. Hofer, presi dent of the Willamette Valley De velopment League and President P. L. Campbell of the State University, as the leading speakers, for the day. A special train will be run from Grants Pass to accommodate the oitizena of that place and of Woodville. Gold Hill, Gold Ray, Ceutral Point. Jack sonville and Medford. The train will leave Grants Pass in the morning and will remain over in Ashland nntil 10 :30 p m. so that the visitors may attend the evening session of the Chautanqna Assembly. A program of a high class will be prepared for, that evening. A special low rate will be Riven by the railroad company and it is hoped to get a one-fare rate. , It is expected tnat 600 . or more people will attend this meeting of the Rogue River Development League aud give the movement for the promotion of the general welfare and prosperity of the Valley a big boost. The fields, orchards aud green hills make Rogue River Valley a veritable picture at this season of the- year and to even have the pleasure of a ride through this, one of the fairest valleys on the Pacific Coast, will fully repay all who will go. Then the presence of all is needed to give an impetus to the work of the League in promoting the de velopment of ., the resources of South ern Oregon. In connection with these meetings of, the Rogue . River Development League Mr. BUings calls the Courier toaocount for stating that Jackson ville had no representative at the recent'toeetiing In I Grants' Pbs. The genial president : of the Chautauqua holds that an apology is due the old pioneer town, or rather to two of its handsome young ladies for there jtvere present In Grants' Pass; from Jackson ville, t Alieses Leila and Maud Prim, daughters of Judge Prim aud two of the popular teachers of Jackson county. The Courier apologizes for its remissness and the next time those young ladies attend a .meeting of the Rogue River Development. League they shall have a most favorable menticn for their public spirit in representing their town, a p'ace of surpassing natural beauty and of fine advantages and of br-autiful homes and a people of generous impulses and contented spirit, the environment of which has placed it somewhat in the rear of the procession of progress. - Dr. Ray is- proving himself to be a most energetic president of the Rogue River Developmeot League and is de voting both time and money in fur thering the work of the League.;. He is doing most! effective boosting , for the snccees of the Ashland meeting and its success 'will be largely due to him. He sendB the Courier the fol lowing communication for publication and it nhould be read by every resi dent of this Valley. Gold Ray, ' Jane 23. 1906. To the Editor Dear Sir: I take this means of thanking the people of Jackson and Josepliiiw counties - for the honor con ferred on me in re-electing me as president of the Rogue River Valley Development League, and I wish to assure them that I will do everything in my power to "boost" the entire United Valley.. The enthusiasm already shown in this movement by the united efforts of the Commercial Clubs, Boards of Trade, the people, and the able, nntir ing effort of our secretary, Captain M. F. Eggleston, convinces me that great prosperity will be brought to the entire Valley In traveling from the Atlantio to the Paoific Ocean and from Seatlte to San Diego, there is no spot that will compare with the beautiful Rogue River Valley in the richness of soil, perfection ft climate, and manifold undeveloped resources. In the "Promised Land of Canaan, it was the custom of our ancestors to labor six days a week and rest on the seventh. In this favored valley, it is only necessary to labor one day, and rest the balance of the week. Traveling through the sage brush deserts in Eastern Oregn, Idaho, Wyoming, Western Nebraska, Colora do, Nevada, New Mexico and South ern California, where the drifting sands obliterate roads and bury fences, there are numerous evidences of the influx of hundreds of thousands of new settlers. Poor, deluded people! One feels that all that is needed is the Latter Day Prophet (Advertising) to lead them into the rich valley of the Rogue River. ' "'' The thought arises that if these'peo ple can afford to pay from $10 to 50 per acre for this" land and then in ad dition to this,' mortgage their future at the rate of $20 per acre for" water and an annual rental of from $2.60 to fo'Tier acre, 'then thev would gladly pay $100 per acre for' our now unused and nutilled hillside and from f 100 to $500 per acre for our valley lands. " " THERE IS NO QUESTION BUT WHAT THE LANDS OF THIS VAL LEY CAN BE MADE WORTH THAT' MUCH MONEY. AND MORE, BY DOING ONLY TWO SIMPLE. EASY THINGS: "PULL TOGETHER I PULL TOGETHER!" ADVERTISE! ADVERTISE! AD- VFRTISE !" ' '' LET THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD KN6W WHAT WE HAVE GOT AND THEN WHEN THEY COME, "DON'T KNOCK. BUT BOOST" ' Ever bear in mind that one "knocker" can tear down faster than 10 "boosters" can build up; Denver, Salt Lake, Spokane, and Los Angeles are located in the midst of deserts with not one-quarter of the resources tbat -surround . our Valley towns i we are equi-distant from Port land and San Francisco, with hun dreds of miles of undeveloped country east and west to draw on for susten ance, and some day, in spite of every handicap, "THERE WILL BE . A 'SPOKANE' IN OUR MIDST." Let us hasten the day. Let us be np and doing. PULL TOGETHER I 'ADVER TISE ! BOOST. , -' , The mansgers of the Ashland Chau tauqua have kindly designated July 17 as ; Booster" day one whole day set aside out of their busy calendar for the benefit of the Rogue River Valley Development League. ' Let's wake up; let every city, town, village and precinct be represented at Ashland. , Let every . store in both counties-close their doors that day; let evety man. woman, and child go to Ashland July 17th. Let's have a monster ruass meeting at Ashland and show that we are in earnest. ' This Is a businers proposition and for the benefit of every man, woman aud child in the Rogue River Valley. The Rogue River Valley Development League is organized not only for the upbuilding of the valley and the in troduction of morn capital and more people, hot also for the correction of evils and the making of all internal improvements. We believe' in the Golden Rule. If we have a bad neighbor, "reform him." If we have a good neighbor, tnoourage him. We are one great family ; make it so at tractive and home-like that we will hang together, and "pull together." Encourage the "new comer" so that he will wander no further, but say, THIS IS HOME."

The presentation of the scarf by Miss Nora Beebo on behalf of the Seniors to Walter Herndon who re ceived it on behalf of the Juniors was an unique and pleasant feature, This banner passes from class to class year after year and is the cherished relic of the school. The number of people who attend ed the exeroises from abroad bespeak wide interest felt in the school. School superintendents .and members and teaoberi ,rom various parts of Southern Oregon were in attendance. The Alumni Association was attend ed,, by 90 members. The , present faculty and students were rejoiced to see the, lively interest here shown by tbe students of loug ago., ,--,'),, Nearly all of the graduates of this year will teach. . Most of them have good positions. .Next year , will .find each of them located in some desirable field for work. The best positions ask for , the, best , teachers and the best teachers seek the best positions.. The normal graduate and the best position always find each other. - Of recent, graduates Vora Storey is elected to the Woodburn High School, Hoy MoNeil sod Anna Beeson to tne Medford schools, Eva Storey, Docia Willits and O. W. Milam to the Ash land schools, Harvey Iolow principal- ship Pleasant Hill, . C.

Robbing Superintentden of Myrtle Point Publio Schools. ' This liitt will suffice, to show ths character of positions "'occupied by those people thoroughly prepared for their work. They are reoeivlug salaries varying froru' $50 to $100 per month. ' ! ' It will be of interest' to all friends of the ' ichool to know that with the acceptance of the appropriation' bill by the people the Ashland water sys tem will be extended to the lnornial School grounds where lawns and lountaius, plants' and shrubbery ' will further adorn the already beautiful Normal School campus.' 'A heating plant will be established at once and large additions will be made to the physical and chemical labratory and to the Normal School lir-rary, three new teachers will be added, an ad vance year will be' added to the Nor mal School from which will be gradu ated at leant IS persons who are al ready applying for entrance to that course.' ' In fact, the entrance and graduation requirements will parallel that done by the San Francisco Normal School which is taken as a standard and which is acknowledged the best in stitution of its kiud on the Pacific Coast. The faculty and students of the Normal School are deeply loyal to the institution. They have passed resolu tions thanking the people of Southern Oregon for the stand they took at the polls in June concerning the appro priation for state institutions. Every town and county in the territory em braced by Jackson, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Josephine, Klamath and Lake threw a heavy majority for the appropriation bill aud this institution construes this vote into an act of kind ness, and of recognition of merits shown towards the institution. Therefore, we take courage and go forward in our endeavors to make tbe Normal School an institution of which every citizen' of Southern Ore gon will be proud to speak when they journey abroad and which they will delight to see when in their wander ings they return to their beloved S'ate again. , . - An Alarming Situation , frequenlty " results from neglect of clogged bowels and torpid liver, nntil constipation becomes chronic.
