Many people from all parts of the county took advantage of the fins weather and came in Saturday to do sods trading, with the natural re sults that local dealers had a very big day of It. "It's payroll that counts," is Grants Pais', slogan and it is proving to be a mighty good one, too. And now that ;ws have a chance to hare another payroll, by establishing a factory for the evaporator designed by fir. Coleman, 1st as not miss such an excellent opportunity. This it a mat ter in which every publlo spirited citizen should take much interest. Z The slaying of Ex-sheriff Drown, at Baker City dors not reflect any credit opon our state. Indeed, if all reports be true, it wonld seem as though they were having a reign of terror over in the eastern part of the commonwealth. What we really need, all 'over this big state, is a reign of law. Only when our people respect and oliey the law, can we ex pect to have the ideal conditions which are, so greatly to be desired b"yevsry right minded citizen. Ah, the rniny season approaches, the need for wore good roads be eotnis mure apparent. Josephine county ha some vety good public thoroughfsrcM, hut there are other stretches which lire nothing to brag upon. We need hardly intimate that there in nothing that will asit so Niatcrally in the upbuilding of all partH of thin rich valley, aa that we have' good rowls all in-cr the county. Now that the fruits an.l grains have for the moat part 1 u gallon.!, we find that our valley lins been bouuti fuly blessed in then material things and that the grower I at every miaou to fi'el luii'i y nvi r the result. Hut, when our nmikcts fer earing for all such products are much improved, they will then have much greali r cause for l!iHiik-mniig. I'.nt all those things will come in tune and the As the cold, winter season of the eastern states approaches, wa may ex pect to see many newcomers wending their way hither. If they only knew just what they are missing, there wonld be a great influx of those peo ple into this great and growing valley. They are coming and those who oome always bring others, for they are so well pleased with conditions as they find them here that they cannot refrain from writing back home and telling their old time friends and ueighbors about some of the geod things they are enjoying out this way. "There's something doing" among the aspirants to succeed Postmaster C. E. Harmon as that official's second term expires November 17th and it is expected that someone will be choren to fill the place, aa Mr. Harmon will retire and .look "after 'his extensive ranch and other interests. Jtist who will be the lacky man teems to be the unsolved problem, al thoogh the "knowing ones" say that The Commissioner of the General Land Office has issued an order wbieh requires the registers and receivers of all United Btates land offices to pre pare all applications to mske entries and filings on publio lands when they are requested to do so by the appli cants. This order will insure greater accuracy in papers of this kind, and be a ssving to the applicants who have heretofore been required to bave their applications prepared at their own eipente. Big Demand for Sampson's Spray While the price of the 8am peon's pray hist season was very moderate, there will be a "substantial reduction here after because of the purchase of the Ingredients In large bulk. The open ing order this season of the Canning Company for the making of this spray is HO tons of lime and 60 tons of sul phur, and the reduced cost realised by these large purchases will tie i applied in the reduction of the price of the spray to customers. Call at the can nery and talk to Manager Sampson, lis will be only too glad to explain the whole buslneas to you. If it Is not convenient to call . then writs to him for prices and such other information as you may desire. The making of the Hampson spray will commence Novem ber 1st, and continue through the winter as long as there is any demand. Head the following credential, the original copy of which may be seen at the Cannery : We, the undersigned, hereby certify that we used Sampson Lime and Sul phur Solution, last year for the Sun Jose scale, which has proved satisfac tory ill every respect. It not only tilled all the scale, but put our trees in a much more healthy condition. This solution cost us So a gallon when ready to apply to the trets. Heretofore we have manutactured our vn snrav. anil fl ml that we cannot make a spray as cheap ami at tbe same time so effective as the Sampson Lime ami Sulphur Solution manufactured ly ihe liriints l'a-s fanning Company. .Ill Criixtuii.

There are several persons mentioned as being "in line" for the important position, should the political lightning happen to strike their way. Among those most prominently'mentioned are: W. A. Newell, J. W. Moore, O. W. Don nell, H. W. White, Lincoln Savage and J. E. x Peterson. There may be "others", but if so they are keeping very much in the dark as to their intentions. The friends of Mr. Newell are quite sanguine, basing their hopes pureIy"upon bis fitness for the place. They tell of his 13 years as a faith ful and efficient railway mail clerk and how, for the past two years he has been doing good service in the Grants Pass post office. They also point to the fact that President Roosevelt seems determined that, other things being equal, the man who has been faithful, should be prometed. So, they are feeling pretty good over Mr. Newell 's prospects for knocking the coveted plum. j Mr. Moore's friends also show how he put in several years in the postal service and they aver that he is a very capable man for the place. They think that he has a mighty good showing to capture the position and that bis prospects are growing better every day. Mr. Donnell, although at present holding an important office with the Medford railroad which runs out as far as Eagle Point, still holds his resi dence in Grants Pass, where he has done some effective political work and where he has many friends who are pulling for him with all their power. They are feeling good over his ex cellent chances.
