FRIDAY, AUGUST 80. 1907. How for the big fair. What's to binder Grants Pane from baylug a permanent exhibit at the depot ground, juat aa A inland and Medford have? We are in the famous fro It belt and,what is more, we hare many other resources, too. There is no way of even beginning to estimate the far-reaeblng inflnenos soob an exhibit wonld have. It wonld cer tainly be nioat jndloions advertising and that is jnit what we need in order to get oar share of the large number of newoomers who will soon by flocking to the PaciOo coast by reason of the exceedingly low rates of travel afforded by the railroad. Think this mutter oyer and if the idea strikes yon favorably, talk it mp with your neighbor and thns create some soutlniont in favor of such au entnrprine and then the rest will be easy enough. All the Indications seem to point to a very iiroeroos year for the people who are fortunate enough to have their lot cant in this favored MiKit. Hngae Klver has been gaining an euviabla reputatiou all over the weateru slope, as well as throughout the euatcrn states and if those people back there only realized Juat what they were iniNing, they would moat certainly be leaving no atone uuturued to make it poasibln for them to come this way to cant iu their lot with ns. Cerlalu it is that we have the climate, the material wealth and moat con genial people, anion the many draw iug cardn which might be held oat to the hounweckors and there i no lo cal it jto he fouud anywhere that can at all begin to compare with this choice aectiou in all that is to be de sired for the pernianeut home place. No wonder that our people are in clined to regard this as indeed "God's own country." If there ia any one thing above another of which the Courier la jnally proud, it is of the tine line of adver tiaers It has. For the iuot part three flriua have ataid riht with us, year in and year out and we have bet u re joiced to see that they have beeu proaoeriug right along, and wo have been aellUu euough to think that our effort to place them and their tempt ing offer U'fore the large circle of rvuuera wnico we nave ail over tins valley and adjoining localities have They vonr and war ami wear koi ciui.nuj :n ,cvi Strauss c Co. 0 Zitl of Shoes If you want the best thero is for Mining, Hunting, Cruisinp, Mountain climb ing, buy this Shoe. No other shoe has as many water-proof qualities. 10 inch top 8 $9 14 inch top been Initrnmeotal In bringing abont this deelred state of affairs. These oonceras are all reliable and well worthy of yonr confidence and patro nage. The men who conduct them are public-spirited and are always ready to work anything and every thing that will advance the best in terests of this entire region. Yes, we are proud of onr advertiser and if yon want to help this paper grow and oome up to a higher standard, yon can do so in no surer war than by patronizing these etablihauenta who present their invitations for your consideration in onr columns. Those Portland newspaper chaps are beginning to realize that Jose phine ooonty is on the map and if they wonld only take the trouble to run np and take In our coming fair, tbey wonld no longer have any doubt about the matter.JThat affair jvlll also serve'to" open the eyes of some people who are not so far distant, too, or we miss onr guess. Grants Pais people are not given to blowiug their born very much, for they rely on the good old maxim that "actions speak louder than words," and so the showing onr people- will make aext week will astonish many visitors from nearby vicinities which are given to claiming all tee good that may belong to Southern Oregon. Possibly it will prove to be but another example of the truth of that ancient saying that "be that laughs last laughs beat," for we have been abiding our time and now it really seems near at hand, if we are not badly mistaken, but, while we will have every reason to be proud of onr ohievaments, let us in no sense of the word "lord it" over our neigh bors who may have been misinformed aud who will be hocked at what we present before them. We oan well afford to be charitably incliuad in this mutter, us in all others aud let them see for themselves how they have boen misled in the matter. The Conner is daily in receipt of reboots for wimple copies of this paper from eastern parties who contemplate coming this way to seek out a home place and it affords u much pleasure to thu do our part in helping bring desirable resident into tli ia fair city and cxeelleut sur rounditig country. Iu this connection it might not ho amiss for n to drop a hint to our business men iu the matter of suggesting that a paper which is filled with large and at tractive advertisements given a meet pleasing impression to the man who is "slsiug up" any community. Aud what is more, the better advertising patronage we receive, the more credit able paper are we enabled to pohliah. There can be no denriug the fnct that any locality ia judged hy the kind of newspapers it supports. If they are newsy, bright and op-to-date, then theoutsidtr can form but one con clusion., and that i to the effect that the coinmuuity is thriving and that it people are prosperous and progres- Ive, while jui-t the reverse coucluaiou ia formed if the papers are poor. Let ds all make elaborate prepare- tiona for t tin forthcoming fair. Clean streets, btuutiful lawua and attractive residences will be a very telling way to advertise Grants Ta.-s to the outside world, when we have the big crowds at the fair. Are you getting your home place in readiueus? Make the strangers who Come into our midst fe 1 at home. There's uotliiug so lasting as "first impress ions" andMf they are made to under stand that they are welcome, half of the bat Me is wen and when they take in the tunny rcsoi". why this lt lie riiht 1 lace to cum to, chance are thai tlev will i io further, hutVil'l Ik- i lily too Va i to tcp right" here. ! u'i lc i ' d to not u e tie l'i' v ' U Ul ttiai g. ia to yon. It will do you no harm and it will be greatly appreciated by the "itranger in a strange land." The action of the carpenters of Grants Pass in donating their services in constructing the fsir building and the big arches 'was most commenda ble. Such things speak all too plainly of their loyalty to their home city and if this idea only prevails throughout the community, it will mean very much toward the, future growth and development of this entire seotion. We need more of this spirit and with it pnt in practice we miy expect great things for onr oity and connty. So let na cultivate this man ner of looking at the affairs of pub llo interest and eve' be ready and willing to gladly do our part. The recent visit of United States Land Commissioner Ballinger to Oregon is already bearing good fruit or since bis return to the national capital, he has stated in most em phatio terms that he proposes to eliminate a lot of the red tape which has been hindering the representatives kf Uncle Sam in the Beaver state from earning on the large volume of business that the taking np of so much public land has necessarily en tailed. This will be very welcome news to many a worthy homesteader, who bas doubtless been waiting these many months for a chance to prove op on bis claim and tben go ahead and make it his permanent borne place.
