ROGUE RIVER COURIER, GRANTS PASS, OREGON, OCTOBER 12, 190b. Groceries' THE POPULATION OF OREGON Grant Paae Weather. Following is summary of the weather observation at Grants Pass daring tbe month of Sept., 1900, as reported by J. B. Paddock, local voluntary observer for the Oregon State Weather Service: A WRITER WHO SAYS HORSE IS A COWARD Incree.ee of 20.000 During Past Must Have Run Foul of One of Eastern Oregon' Buck ing Ctxyuaea.

Pardee Front St., Near Palace Hotel GRANTS PASS, - OREGON VTelepHone 863 WAR ON THE PESTS SOON TO BEGIN Fruit Growers Union Have County Inspector Appointed Treo Own . era Will Have to Sprav. A. H. Canon, commissioner for Son tern Oregon oo the Stats Board of Horticulture, nit a number of the members of the Froit Growers Union at the office of Secretary Moserve in thii city last Saturday to sign the necessary oertifloate to file with the ooanty oourt to have Charles MeBerve appointed froit inspector for Jose phine ooanty. Owing to the badly diseased condition of many orchards It will be necessary to have spraying for autliraonose began so soon as the fruit is picked. In order that the dilatory tree owners may be forced to spray at the right period to kill the spores of this most deadly of tree di sease, Mr. Carson arranged with Conuty Judge Jewell to have Mr. Meserve appointed at once and to that ud a special session of the ooanty corut will be called the last of this week or so soon as one or both of the oounty commissioners oan come to Grants Psas. There is likely to be little opposl- tl m to the enforcement of the state law for eradicating' the pests as it is oouoeded that if a vigorous campaign is not at once bogan and carried on with the same thoroughness as is done at Hood River, where wormy, scaly fruit Is almost uukuown, fruit raising in Josephine county will lie at an end Ave years hence. It is t'.e purpose of the Fruit Growers Union to have the law strictly enforced and all trees that have not been thoroughly sprayed by the Unit of November ac cording to the spray formulas and regulation of the State Hoard of Hor ticulture awl the work of eradicating the pests well under way, will be nut dowu by orlr of the fruit inspector and the expense will be a lien upon the laud to be collected by the sheriff for the oonnty. Non-resident tree owners will be givn no more latitude than residents and it will be kill off the pasts or cut down the trees or pay the county for doing it.

The following from the Medford Tribune illustrates very foroibly the old saying that bind sight is better than foresight : "The case of Uncle Sam Beuuett who lives near Medford, while not entirely typical of the way that the fruit industry Jibs been conducted in this country, is, In a general way the experience of a number of orchard 1st s of the Rogue River Valley. "Mr. Bennett had an orchard set out in Newtown Pippin apples, but being convinced that by the time that they came into bearing, the market would be overstocked and not having a very high opinion of that rartionlar kind of apple, he proceeded to grub out the trees aud left only an acre and a half, just to see what the result would be. " He has found out now. Yesterday a party of Medfordites went out to his ranch and inspected the crop on this acre aud a half tract. They found that the trees were bearing sufficient apples to fill 1000 gathering boxes, out of which from 1000 to 1200 boxes of shipping apples can be secured. "These are sure to net Mr. Benuet ft. 50 per box, thus making the pro duct of the oue aud a half acre bring 15(H) to flHOO. " A Moit Worthy Article.

A most excellent company headed by America's foremost, romantio young actor, Mr. Lee Willard, will appear in "Monte Cristo," the strong est of all thrilling, romantio plays, and the one that will live for ever. Mr. Willard 's capabilities are well known on the coast, having toured two seasons ago in the Christian, as John Storm. He comes this year heading his own company, composed of selected Eastern people and tbe papers of our large cities, snob as Tacoma, are load in bis praise. Mr. Willard has a most brilliant future ahead of him, being as he is a most successfully, clever actor. Ashland Commercla.1 College. The attendance of the home students this term at the Ashland Commercial College is much greater than ever be fore, as well as a larger patronage from abroad. The coarse has been strengthened with the latest ideas, in every department, revised text books have been adopted, and up-to-date appliances of every kind are used. A no more thorough and complete course of business training is given anywhere, while the cost of securing the coruse here is only about one-half j the expense in the larger cities. The i instruction Is mostly individual which is of very great advantage to the students. The fame of Josephine county as a hunter's paradise has evidently gone abroad for on Friday H. W. Corning of Cleveland, and W. P. and L. S. Thompson of New York with vallet arrived to spend some time in the hills at the mouth of the Applegate. Helpers, dogs aud baggage have been arriving for the past several days and it is safe to say that the gentlemen will have a hunt combined with all the oouiforts possible. The pack of 11 bear dogs is the Fame pack which has accompanied President Roosevelt on bis famous bear hunts. The horse is a coward nature made him so an unreasoning coward, who fears everything with which he is un familiar: nothing, however horrible, to which association has a customed him ; a creature given over to sudden and uncontrollable panics, and, in their paroxysms, stopping at no in jury to self or to those who cherish him. His overpowering instinct in such cases is flight; frequently, bat not alwajs, associated with a determi nation to clear himself from any ham pering surroundings. He has no feel ings ot revenge unless trainea to cunning by the abuse or the mistakes of mankind, aud, when thee prevail, he rarely wrecks his vengeance upon any particular individual, but upon humanity in general, with no regard for age or sex. The sentiment of revenge is so usually associated with cowardice that it may almost be clashed as a phase of that instinct. Cowardice manifests itself in equine connection in many ways with one it is terror of the dark, which will make him kick his stall nil night, doing himself posBibly serious injniy; yet in niue cases oat of 10, a light left in the stable will so completely reassure him that he will not lift a foot. Another Is alarmed at blowing paper, yet stands yawning while cannon are fired in his face. It is this very attribute of cowardice which enables as to han-1 die the animal as we do; to train hm to our will and for our purpose ; whioh makes him, once he is thoroughly deceived and intimidated, j the useful servant we find him; not a 1 willing slave, but one who fears again to tempt reprisals which have always proved ineffective; and who labors for us because he has been made to do so, and fears to rebel. Give to the most docile the idea that he may success-1 folly disobey, and presto, yon shall discover another attribute of tbe ' coward for your steed forthwith be-: comes a bully, and a dangerous one ; j since each little act of rebellion which succeeds awakens him to the idea that he need not obey, aud that in power and will he is superior. Forthwith disaster impends. The horse does uot love man nor does he delight to labor in his inter est. If you think yours dees, turn him loose in the road and see wheter he will follow yon; bat do not try this unless fond of pedestrian exer cise. Troe, you may train him by the use of certain appliances to follow you through the fields, flood cr fire, but ho will do this not, because he adores you, but because vou have sue cessfally deceived him into thinking ' that he can unt help himself, and that cue idea dominates him. i Do you imagine that it is personal j regard for Cinders & Co. which im pels those splendid draft horses to toil and strain at the live-ton load? Or that it is adoration which lauds Mr. Spenders' roadster iu front in a brush on the speedway t Not in the least.
