The Courier lias a birthday. With this Issue, 32 years hare 'jsaed and gone tlooo the Rogue Hirer Courier was born. Like a human being it has bad happy days and sorrowful ones. Days when there were no clouds in the iky and when subscribers came in and paid for year's subscription to ad ranee; business wen signed a good fat oontraot for adrertlsing and the editorr was told how ninoh his paper was appreciated. Then there were dark days wliun the sun did not shine at all, The irate subscriber oame in and stopped hla paper be cause he did not like the policy of the editor in regard to the Fiji Is landers. ; the bill collector came around and threatened to hand things orer to the sheriff and some sarcastic cltlren was kind enough to intimate that the paper was not fit to stait a fire with. Back In 1HM man by the name of J.'H. Htiue, with a literary ambition picked on Grants Pass as a suitable place to blossom forth. He larked Unsocial burking and so induced our pioneer oitixen, W. J. Wlmer to help him out. The result watt that Urother Winter soon hail to titke orer the paper to sar e himself. After owning it a short time, he transferred it ami after almut four other transft rs it came into the hands of it present owner. The Hoguo Hirer Courier was the first regularly Issued paper in the Count V.

The cow problem has gone but others have come 'in its place and the Courier is here to help solve them. At the prcsont time the Courier has the Urgent circulation of any paper in the countrand that the business com tumiitr believes it is evidenced by the amount of advertising carried.

That shall be the Courier's aim : Helping Grants Pass to grow. JUST OVER THE HILL. Just orer the bill the grass is greener, the sun shines brighter, the crops are larger, there Is more money in circulation and everybody Is much happier than right here at home. Far off hills are green. That's the way the Anglo Haxoo states It. The Hindoo tells it something like this: Once there wss young man who lived In a small railage to India. A small creek ran by his back yard with grarelly banks but there was nothing handsome about it, in fact it was rather a disrepntable looking stream. Now the Gods sent a vision to this younng man and be was told that sometime in his life he would find the largest diamond in the world and much happiness would oorue to him. The young man, much elated, started forth immediately on his search. He travelled all orer India, eren to Its most distant parts. He searched up and down all the large rlrers but no diamond rewarded him. Thus he spent the greater part of his life and it finally came to him that he had not much longer to lire. Then a longtog oa rue orer him to see the home of his youth before he died. He reached it a broken down old man and as he was stooping down to dip up some water from his much despised stream, thete, 'glistened the diamond of his search before his eyes. It had lain there all those, years In his own back yard while he was wasting his time on distant streams. We csu bring the lesson nearer home. We can find people In Grants Pass who think that the only hope of making any money on a real estate investment is to buy a lot in Portland or on Coos har or somewhere else. They despise their own back yatd and go wandering off to distant scenes. But it will end like the poor Hindoo, the opportunities are light here. Climate, varied resources, every thing that goes to make up a prosperous community. You have merely to stoop to pick up yonr diamond. Laugh and the world laughs with you, especially if it thinks that you have got the price of the treats. This months Everybody contains an account of the last prize tight at Tonopah, Nevada. The editor is surely getting hard up for material.
