Swinden & Payne, who own one of the beet hay baling outfits in the country, were in Grants Pass Monday on their way to Ruch where they have a big contract for bal'ng hay. Hereafter the "opened by mistake" excuse will be a mistake that will cost $200. The postofflce department has ruled that mail mast be looked over beford leaving the office, and that any letter pat In your box by mistake must be returned before leav ing the postofflce under a penalty of $300 for failure to do so. ' J. W. Thomason, who figured In the justioe court some time ago makes strenuous objection to the artiole which appeared in the Oonrier regard ing the case. The paper stated that Thomasou . knocked Church down and that staetment is the cause of much unre-t on the part of Thomason who declares that although he struck Cburob he did not knock him down, Chorch was ba lly damaged but the conn proceedings failed to show that Church was actually down. According to the annual report of School Superintendent P. H. Daily, Jackson oonnty shows a material In crease In school population during the past year.

The salmon fishing season for Rogue rivet closed August 1 and no fishing can now be done exoept by hook and line until December 31. The cat oh was very good and the shipments from Grants Pass to Portland and San Francisco have averaged almost a ton a day since the season opened, which is about the amount caught last Spring and . Summer. The price though was low for. most of the sea son the fishermen were paid but 3 12 cents per pound and the highest price being but 6 cents, while la,t year the prioe owing to competition among buyers run from 6 to 71-2 oeuts per pound. - The Tribune says that at a meeting of the school board the contract of Med ford's new schoolhoose wss let to H.

The main struc ture is of brick with metal shingle I tile roof and the equipment is modern land substantial in every respeot The 1 site of the building has not been defi i nitely decided upon but the board is hoping yet to neon re the tract in North Medford facing Garl T. Jones residence and owned by the railroad oompany. The vinelss potato fraud caught many honorable persons who were led by the plausible showing made of how quantities of potatoes could be raised in a bin at only a small cost to fall into the get-rich-quick scheme. Fow.'e & Lycan "of Portland took tho Oregon agency for the company hav ing the alleged patent rights to the discovery and installed a sample bin in this city. By the time the post- ' office department had exposed the 1 fraud this firm had expended t'-'OO in putting in bins in various farts of the state. The firm though duped them selves did not propose to dupe others and refused to accept money for county or individual rights or sell the po tatoine until they themsevles had made a thorough test of its merits. Grains and Grasses Wanted. There is not an exhibit of the agri cultural products of Josephine county to be set-n in Grants Pass and strangers in the city noting this fact and thai the hills about the city are yet in their primeval- wildness, draw the in ference that there is little farming carried on here. To prove that the soil of this county does produce grass, grain, fruits and vegetables not to be exoelled by any other county in Ore gon the Courier will undertake to collect an exhibit of these products. Grains and grasses should be tied in bunches and dried in the shade and handled carefully. Samples of this year's growth of fruit tiee limbs and of grape vines would add to the in terest of the collection. Real Estate Transfer. Susan Morrison to Swan Llndgren Lot 9, in Blok 34, O.
