FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1907. ,'H is very gratifying to it are to many new inbaorlbert 00m in g in right Jong. Tbif ii juet what we are working for and we are glad to enroll new reader! every day. . That was not a yery encouraging matter to contemplate, whan it wai learned that there were 17 divorce caeri at tbia term of the oironlt coort. Joit think of it, fully one-foorth ef 'the entire docket WM composed of these matrimonial differences. It Is indeed a sad commentary upon the home life in Josephine county to know that so many homes are tbua broken sp. It means so much when one realise that It is a growing evil mnd one that strikes at every found ation of true American greatness, for the relations between the home and the national life Is of the utmost im portance. Jo at what caa be dost to stem this tide of wholesale separa tion is a problem which U worrying At. i J . mo luiuim 01 many persons WI141 are greatly alarmed at this spread. Per haps no better plan can be pursued than to create a strong public sent! nient agalust the practice which U becoming no prvalent. California baa lost a fine, thorough bred, registered Holstein hull, but what is California's loss lit Oregon's gain, for the bull is at the home of J. F. Adams, a Tule Ijike, Oregon farmer, who wou him at the National Irrigation Congress by making the lest exhibits of the products of a sit), gin irriagated farm. Tbia prize went to Adams from the California com mittee which olleiod the bull, Cali fornia Promotion Hoy, to the man who showed bent what an irrigated farm could ,lo. California farmers were not allowed to compete for prizes because California was th host on this oci'HHioii anil it would uot have looked well to keep all the flue prizes at brine. There Were quite a number of competitor for this prize, for California Promotion Hoy is of the kind of stock that farmers re anxious to get hold of, and while thrre were good exhibits, Adams made snch a fine display that the judges bad no difficulty at Jail in making the awards. The ball was turned over to Adams by the authorities of the Congreaa and has been sent to Tule Lake, where he will head the herd on Adams' farm. We are more than pleased to give apace to the interesting report made by oar reporter of tbe excellent work which ii being done by the Grants Pass cannery. While this is but a new enterprise and tbe undertaking is bat in its infancy, yet enough good work hat been done to verv clearly J A 1 - Il l uBiuouBirate mat tne cannery is no longer an experiment and its success is aasnred beyond the ahadow of a doubt. We are glad to hear that the management contemplates largely in creasing the capacity of the plant for next season. The fact that the output for the entire sesson bas been told at nice figure, even before the season is near over, is tbe most convincing proof that the plant Is patting oat some good goods, for the wholesalers are not given to handling products of this kind, unless they feel positive of the high standard of the same. And now that the pore food law is in full force and effect, it becomes absolutely necessary that only good goods be placed upon the market. 80 we say, OranU Pass and tbe whole of Jose phlne oounty she-old take muoh pride In this promising industry and help it along by word and deed. For "ways that are dark and de vious" In ibe newspaper line, we are referred to tbe newly imported ed.tor of the . Medford Tribune. That party is proving to be of the genuine "yel low" hue la every sense of the word and, after having done untold harm to his own town, by creatiag discord and dissension and thereby driving suppon rrom a is sheet, be even at tempts to do outside communities in Jury. For instance, because we had one case of spinal meningitis, he heralds to tbe world that Orants Pass has an epidemic of this disease. Might we not as well Infer that be cause Medford lias one fool editor, that therefore all the people of Med ford are fools. The loglo would be just as reasonable aa that which this fellow is following out But we are led to thiuk lietter of our neighbors to the north. In fact we know that they do not uphold such rant How ever, they should know that such otatlcs sre doing their town utitold harm. Indeed, we happen to know of newcomers who hive decided to lo cate here in O rants Pass, but who originally thought of making their abode at Mel ford. They were in lluencfd against Medford by the superabundance of bet air and light made on other localities by that yellow paper anA its roterle of boomers. So we say. Editor Putuam, better reserve yonr energlts and devute them to the upbuilding of your own locality, rather than in the futile effort of tear ing down other communities. e your dog nut- t'X- If ho is well kept, no is fiirnisluM lv uro with a slook glossv .-out; a littlo orcisf on a warm day f'ives h'un pants; t vorvboily 'ivos him cutis, ami on Mirolv oulit to bo willing to furnish' his collar.
