WHAT PEOPLE SAY What People say'. Robert Morris, of R. F.D. No. 1, in seeing to It tbat his subscription was extended to 1908, remarked to the Courier man that he always maaaged to pay for his paper in advance and that he seemed to enjoy leading it more when' be knew that it was paid for. In fact ha said it had been one of the rules of bis life to see tbat his bills were paid ' for they were contracted, bat of all Jof them, if any had to wait m bit, be was sure to try and see that the newspaper was not allowed to get behind. s ' Fred T. Harris, prominent archi tect of Redlands, Gal., who has been looking over the Pacific northwest, with the idea of locating, finding in the Courier reporter an old friend, did not hesitate to declare that he rogarded this immediate vio'nltv as tbe most inviting of any locality be had yet visited, and be has been ta moat of them. He is of the opinion tbat there is a great future in store for this region and already be thinks that the tide of immigration this way has set In and that hereafter it will be Oregon and not California that will be so much talked about. He plans to come back hare and "get in on the ground floor." "You would be simply amazed the remarkable increase in the volume of business in oor office," was lh" way Assistant Postmaster W. A. Newell talked to the newsgatherer. Mr. Newell went on to sla'e that the increase had been wonderful and that it was getting greatar all the time. ! H') thinks that this state of affairs ; will keep np right alnug, if he may 1 judg hy tbe large litiuilwr of new people who (ire trying to secure boxes at the poatoffice, where none are to be had. The condition of affairs at Uncle Sam's office la always taken as an indication of the progress of the con,ninntTi or otherwise, and so ! f, tl p., it . can aecore much real !

' "That cartoon on the lront page of the Courier reminds me of the way the . Medff.rditea talk about your low 11," aaid a newcomer who accosted t " the newsgatherer. " "Why, to hear them talk np thine, yon p-ople aren't in it for one minute. Ttiey say you have nothing to btck you and all soo'i stuff. But. when I came here, I found that they were simply giving me some hot air, for which th y are rapidly gaining a wide repotailoo. To my way of seeing things, Grants Pass has more real, genuine backlog than has Medford and what la more I mean to iuvest here, where I on get realty at something like its real value and not have to pay two prieea, they are asking np there for no better land. And say, by the way, did, you koow' that they are oirulatiiug all kiuds of reports about Grants Pass not being a healthful place in which to live. They say you have au epidemic of spinal meningitis and their daily paper is harptug npon tha matter. But I find tbat you have only had one such rase here and that, on the hole, the death rate here is much lower than it is at Medford. All such misrepresentation- will hurt Medford more than I can b'gin to tell and the sooner they stop suob practices, the better it will be for tbem, or I am no judge of human nature. Such nonsense turned me against the plaoe and it will have the same effect with pt ople who are able to think and act for themselves." Newman M. E. Church. At II a. m the pator, O. O.
