GOVERNMENT BUILDS
SAMPLE GOOD ROAD
At Seattle sxnd SeJem Josephine
County Could Gel Sample
Road for Southern Oregon.
Seattle, July 20 Six miles south of
this city the government good roads
expert has jnst completed a mile of
macadamized road to demonstrate
what can and should be done in the
way of road work in this part of the
country. The result is a beautiful
stretch of highway, bard and smooth
in surface, and rounding like the cir-
comfurence of a ball. It sheds water
as easy as the roof of a house, and its
solidity leaves apparently no chance
for the formation of chnckholes. The
mile of road shown cost approximately
$6000, that stating the expert, being
the average price for which it can be
constructed in this country. Once
properly built, the cost. of repair
work is reduced to a minimum.
The road is built 16 feet wide on
the crown, being a little narrow at
the bottom as the sides slopes inward.
A five-inch layer of cruHhed rock
from three and a quarter to two and
a quarter inches in diameter is laid
on the prepared roadbed and rolled
with a 12-ton roller until it is packed
as closely as possible. Before that is
done, however, should there be any
soft places in the roadbed, it is filled
and the entire bed rolled so that all
parts of it will support the same
mount of pressure.
The five-inch layer, which is' re
duced somewhat in rolling, is followed
by a two and a half inch coat of finer
rock, from two and a quarter to three
quarter inches in diameter. It is
subjected to a similar treatment, and
the surface of the road is then dressed
and all crevices filled by a fine coating
of rock raugiog in size from three
quarters of an inch in diameter to
that of a pea. While the two last
layers are being rolled, the road is kept
constantly wet.
The expert stated that io this
oountry for most roads he believed a
nine-foot macadamized road way,
constructed In that manner, wonld be
ample for traffic, toe natural earth
roadbed ou both sides furnishing op
portunity for the passage of teams.
A sample section of road is now be
ing constructed In Marion county near
Salem by the government throogh its
bureau of good roads. If the effort is
made this Winter it is quite certain
the government would bnild a section
of macadamized road next Summer for
Josephine couuty. The most avail
able place for putting in this sample
road is the half-mile of road throogh
South Grants Pass from the foot of
Sixth street at the Rogue river bridge
to the fork where the three roads di
verge, one to the Illinois Valley, to
Applegate Valley and one up Rogue
river. This section of road is now
oue of the worst in the county for in
the Summer it is a dnst bank with
boulders and ohuckholes to add to
its unpleasant features, tlieu in the
Wiuter it is one mass of mud with
the boulders and chnckholes still
present as profanity provokers and
vehicle wreckers. Most of the home
s'ekers, investors and tourists who
visit Grants Pass take a stroll down
to the bridge to fee Rogue river.
While on the bridge they have
nearby and unobstructed view of this
section of the most traveled highway
in Josephine couuty ud judging it
to be a sample of the roads of the
county they are given a decided
prejudice against the city for having
i mill a road at its boundary and
against the couuty as proyf of its
nou-progressivencss. Were this piece
of road a model highway it would
give strangers such an opinion of the
oouoty that niauy would decide to
locate here and it would be such a
practical object lesson in the value of
macadamized roads that it would
stimulate the movement all over the
couuty for bettor roads and le the
menus of starting an era of solid pros
perlty for this toctiou of Rugne
River Valley by attracting the better
class of settlers aud of persons who
will make substantial investments.

VINELESS POTATO
FRAUD EXPOSED:
Postoffice Department Show Up
Thle New Scheme for Getting
Money of Greedy Sucker.
The vineleis potato fraud is the
latest that has been exposed- and
driven out of business by the post
office department. The sharpers back
of this scheme have operated all over
the United States and put in sample
bins of potatoes in all the larger
towns. One of the gang visited
Grants Pass six weeks ago and pnt in'
bins of potatoes and distributed a
quantity cf their literature that told
in glowing terms the profits that
coma De made in growing potatoes by ;
their process. This method consisted j
of a bin In which layers of sawdust !
and potatoes alternate notil the bin is j
full. Each layer of potatoes is:
sprinkled with a chemical preparation
that was manufactured by the Vine-
lets Potato Company. This wonder
ful compound was both a strong fer
tilizer and a preventive to the pota
toes growing tops causing all the
strength to go to producing tubers.
It was claimed that by this process
that a potato
would produce two to
three times the
quantity that it.
would if planted in the field. The
profits though were all to the fakirs
who sold to the suckers at 10 cents a
pound a compound made from cheap
mineral at a cost of a cent or lees a
pound.
That the laws governing plant
growth could be changed by the ap
plication of a ohetoioal compound to
potato was an asburd proposition to
any person who is a reader and studies
even the rudiments of nature's work,
yet the desire to get rioh quick Is so
strong with many people that they
will bite at any fake scheme so long
as it promises big profits. The old
adage is certainly trne that a sucker
is born every minute for were it not so
the supply would ran short and vine
less potatoes, fake mines, ' lotteries,
gold bricks wold cease to be profitable
schemes to work on a greedv public.
Doctors Said lie Would Not Live.
Peter Fry, Woodruff, Pa., writes
"After doctoring for two years with
the best physicians io Wanesburg, and
still getting worse, the doctors ad
vised me if, I had any business to at
tend to I had better attend to it at
once, as I could not possibly live an-
olher month as there was no oure for
me. Foley's Kiduey Cure was recom
mended to me by a friend, and I im
medately sent my son to the store
for it and after taking three bottles I
began to get better and oontinned to
improve until I was entirely well."

HOP CROP TO BE
LARGE THIS YEAR
Applegate Valley Growers En
couraged Over Prospects
of Big Yield.
S. Provolt aud J. W. Berry were
callers at the Courier office Saturday.
Mr. Ptovolt is the owner of a floe bop
yard of 2S acres that he bought last
Fall of Rehkonf and which is located
in the Applegate valley two miles
above Provolt a' d he has leased it to
Mr. Berry aud Theo. Paine for this
year, getting one-fourth of the crop
delivered in the bale. This will be
the second crop from the yard and
Messrs Berry & Paine have given the
vines such careful cultivation and
care that the yield promises to be
very largo and the quality strictly
first-class.
There are six other hnpyards in the
Applegate and Williams Valleys in
the viciuity of Provolt and Mr.
Berry stated in ail except the Per
noll yard the prospect was good for a
large yield of fine hops. The Pernoll
yard was planted last year by James
Flowers who leasd the laud of Mrs.
N. Pernoll. The plauts made a fine
growth last year but the hop market
looked so discouraging this Spring
aud Mr. Flowers having only limited
means he abandoned it.
Curtd of Bright ! Diteu.
Mr. Robert a Burke, Elnora, N.
V., writes: "Before I started to use
Foley's Kiduey Cure I had to get up
from 13 to' 30 times a eight, and I was
11 bloated op with dropsy and my
eyesight was so impaired I could

A VACATION
AT CHAUTAUQUA
Mre. Hood Spends Two Plea.snt
Days xt the Grove
In Aehland.
Some years ago a Baptist minister
and Evangelist, Dr. Oilman Parker,
stopped for a Sabbath in Grants Pass
and preached a sermon using as bis
text the one word "Selab." The
meaning of this word is "Stop and
think." He drew some valuable les
sons from it. We go hurrying through
life so. rapidly that more stops are
needed that we may have the time to
think and a vacation rightly used is
a good thing. Vacations are rare at
0or house and as the days for the I
Southern Oregon Chautauqua Assem-'
bly drew near the desire to attend and !
get some of the good things myself ',
grew strong within me. So as I i
00ald be away from home but a short
time I chose the days when two
whom I greatly desired to hear were
to deliver their addresses. On Wed
nesday morning, July 18, I boarded
the train ready to see, hear and learn
all I could. On the same train were
a brother and two sisters from Phila-
j delnhia, one of the ladies a teacher in
that city. Seeinn mv white ribbon
which I always love to wear he said
he was glad to see the little badge of
purity. In conversation with them
be commended Governr Folk of Mis
souri and Mayor Weaver of Philadel
phia for their stand on law enforce
ment and one of the ladies told how
the women worked and prayed for
Weaver's election. They had car
riages passing to aud fro all day and
nsed all the influence ia their power
to aid the right, and with the good
men's votes the old machine was
broken.
lie said be believed that in some
crisis when the woman's vote was
greatly needed suffrage would be
granted them by the nation, and that
after all the work done to gain it, it
would come so suddenly as to be a
surprise.
I have uot attended Chautauqua
for eight years and since that time
the tabernaole has been enlarged to
a seating capacity of about 1500, the
grounds much improved and it is a
delightful place.

In the evening Dr. Looke of New
York leotured on "Shrines of Ameri
can Heroism." He was in Ashland
at the Chautauqua 13 years ago and
after his introduction by President
Billings he said that as soon as he
reached Oregon he felt at home and as
if he were breathing into bis lungs
nectar from Paradise. There ia no
better way for a lecturer to win the
hearts of an Oregonian audience than
to speak well of our beloved state.
We are proud of its history and
achievements. We firmly believe in
its promising future. The pine clad
hills, the fertile lalleys, the swift
flowing streams of Southern Oregon
are especially dear to our hearts.
We enjoyed Mr. Watson's explana
tion of the causes of earthquakes and
volcanoes as be talked at the Round
Table, aud the lecture ou Armenia
by an Armenian.
The W. C. T. U. had a tent on the
grounds in charge of the State re
cotding secretary, Mrs. Maraters of
Rosehurg. It is always a pleasure
to meet with our dear white ribbon
friends from other places.
The principal thing on Thursday
afternoon was Dr. Locke's lecture on
"Scarecrows that do not Scare." He
began by reciting the following stan
za :
"We are living, we are dwelling
In a Brand aud awful time,
Io an age on ages telling;
To be living is sublime."
It seemed a strange subject but it
