Rogue River mines and froit grow ing are attracting widespread attention. Why not make an effort to have our planrs of business and residences look lag neat all Civ year 'round? The finding of gold in the striata of Grants Pass, by an old prospector, during fair week,in paying quantities: was a splendid advertisement of our mineral resources. TblH ploaMing in cident had a moat impressive effect upon fbe newcomers who were herejto nine up this part of the country. Every oue is loud in his praise of the toocoss of the fair sdJ couveutiou and the people who speut time and money iu promoting theae objects must feel amply repaid for all their labors of love. They undoubtedly renlire tlutt they did a good thing when they put forth all tholr might iu endeavoring to make the affairs a luccesa, Thoae merchant who spent some time ami money In decorating their place of business with the fair aud Convention rotors builded better thuti they knew, for the lcople notice such things and they act accordingly. They like to Hee pulilie spirit displayed iu such a milliner and they will not for get the in mi who thus showed it. Me are glad to give apace to ex feudist mention of any of Grant Pass' factories mid like Industries, fur wo rvalue, only too well the truthfullnes of our citya slogan that "It's Payroll 'I hat fount. " The more of these Institution wo have the better it will lie fur every individual citien, for what -effects one person or firm, indirectly touches ns all. If we run have many more of these thriving in duatriea it'will be all the better for us. oar oup is more than full. This is a most important factor in the material welfare of this county and when it is good we all rjolce with the growers. Now that the convention and fair are over, we note that many a paper in the Rogue River Valley which should have been boostiug for those events before they occurred, are now saying some mighty nice things about the success they achieved. Bnt they would have been much more successful if we could have had the hearty co-operaton of all parts of Rogue River Valley. As it was, Josephine county almost had to go it alone and naturally enough we felt that our county has won great honors, but we would really rather have di vided tht honors with the other sec tions of the valley. These were not Grants Pass doings, but were origin ally intended for the whole of the valley, bnt for obvious reasons the other localities did not see fit to have a hand in the gieat good that was accomplished.

The other day one of the Grant Pasa firms sold a nice bill of house hold Booda to fa leading citizen of Arhland, who finds that this city is the place to get bargains. Guy C. Morris, the popular assist ant superintendent of the S. P. lines in Oregon, spent Wednet-day looking into local railroad conditions. Saturday was a busy day for Grants Pass merchants, the city being filled with people from all over theis cocnty, and many coining from other localities to get bargains here. The Courier bad an article a few weeks ago, regarding the coming of Spokane capitalists into this valley This was rerrinted by the papers of that city and now the Courier is daily in receipts of letters from people np that way, asking for more par ticulars regarding this region. Eugene Spencer, the bunco man who is in the toils of the law, at Portland, is alao wanted at Grants Pass, where Dr. W. H. Flanagan wants to prefer charges against him for obtaining money under false pretense. A masked hobo held op saloon keeper, Geo. Strong, in his place of butineas, at Leland Saturday night and took two shots at him. But the timely arrival of outsiders scared the fellow away. Sheriff Russell was ap praised of the fact at once, but the fellow made good his escape. Herman Horning received a harry request from C. H. Dittmar, by wire, to have sis boxes of "Carson's Tokays," at Tuesday evening's train, for him to take to the home folks at Philomath, as he was going there from northern California. Mr. Horn ing gladly complied with the request. Word comes from the Grants Pass delegation at Newport, to the effect that they are one and all having a fine time of it Geo. Cramer, A. E. Voorhies and Prof. Van Zant and Earl Voorhies went out flounder fish ing and got a fine catch. Earl prov ing to be the best fisherman of the lot, as he caught the biggest member of the finny tribe that was landed. He naturally feels quite highly elated over the remarkable achievement, as well he nay. In reporting the big baseball game at Portland, Monday between Los Aneles and Portland teams the Jour nal remarks: "Henry I'ernoll, Mc Credie's Grants Pass phenomenon, was the hero of the day." After two of the crack pitchers had bitten the dust and retired from the box, Pernoll went in and made good, winning much tame thereby. The Condor Water & Power Co., did the handsome thing by the fair management by suggesting that the big arches which span Sixth street be loft standing for awhile, as they are good to look upon. Now, if the new 1 band was in practice, it would be ; a mighty nice thing to have the lights turned on and let the people enjoy sotue open air band concerts. Bui j those treats will aoon be forthcoming, ' for everything indicate that Grants Pass w ill aoon be proud of one ot the best bands to be found anvwhere 111 Southern Oregon, and that will in deed be a welcome day to every pub lic spirited citizen.
