We've heard that " open confession wan good for the soul," and suppose that the Tribune now feels mooh bet ter after having made such a damaging admission. Elsewhere is to be found an article in today's Courier, in which it ii shown that the government propose! doing acme needed work in the forest reserve hereabouts. Supervisor An derson, who has headquarters in Grauts Puss, realizes the great im portance of these matters and these largely increased appropriations are the results of his untiring efforts. tate about saying anything good of this end of the valley. That wonld tiring down the wrath of the boomers opon it. There is an old laying that "com parisons are odious." but nevertheless it gives ui much satisfaction to have a Colorado frail grower of large ex perience come along, as one did the past week, and tell us that we have the ideal climate, soil and other con ditions for growing the best fruit on earth. He admitted that the crop in that state wkich is famous for such prodacts is this year an entire failure and be was wishing that his company only had its big orchard here in Oregon. This idea of writing and telling our eastern friends about the many good things which we have, of which they know but little, it is a capital one. We should not take it frr granted that they are informed along these lines, for the very fact that they are still remaining back in the effete east is conclusive evidence that they do not know what they are missing, else we would see them hastening out this way to hereafter make their abode. , E. VOOROIES, Pkopb. W. E. Willi, Editor e pi Oregon, as second-Ciena mail matter. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26. 1807. Again would we oall attention of poultry breeders to the approaobing how. Now is the time to make preparations for that event and Its i lioness depends very much upon how we get ready for it Let every chicken fancier take an interest la this matter and the success of the -vent is already assured. It now looks very much as though -Grants Pass was going to have a much needed new Southern Paoiflc -depot and It is to be handsome, . substantial affair, too. We are glad to see that tha railroad officials are not alow In realising the importance of this city, as socb matters very clearly indicate. With our saloons closing on Sunday and with not a prisoner in the county jail, we are entitled to some recogni tion as a law-abiding community. These are the things, among others, which moat favorably impress the prospective home seeker. And they are fads of which we have every reason to be proud. Soon the time for holding the city primaries will lu upon iih and we should btiatir ourselves alxmt the mut ter of having good, desirable men mentioned j for the vnrious places of trust. The "affair 'of the J city are needing the care and attention of (he laat men to lie found in this community. This i a critical time in the history ot this municipality and having men hold of the city who are capable and anxious to see things properly done., mentis much for the future welfnre of this place. In coiiiiiicntiiig on a tiiiiili iu the Courier to the effect that Modford was (mining the reputation for boom ing lis resources tiy tiieuns of the "hot air" met hud, Editor Putnam practically admits tliat such ia tile cane anil then proceed to berate lliants l'liMn pi ople for being willing to iv in out on pure leerit, calling 11m in "mcssback" mid the like. The organization of numerous branches of the Grange throughout tbe county will undoubtedly result in much good to tkia valley. If our farmer friends will only pull together and strive to grow more and better products and use their best efforts to improve the conditions of their re spective neighborhoods, they can ac complish great things right along these important lines. The Grange has some most excellent aims and if the ideas are brought to a successful onlmination, we may soon expect to ee all parts of Josephine county go forward with great strides. Baker City is just now gaining some very nnenviable notoriety on the strength of its being an."open town," and this fact coming to light, os the heels of the awful crime juit com mitted, whereby one of the best citi zens was foully murdered, presumably on account of hi efforts to ferret oat and bring law breakers to justice is anything bnt complimentary to Baker City. Such facts are enough to drive away desirable citisens and Ic will hurt the place in the estimation of the eutside world more than mere words can possibly express. If, as "Interested Citizen," in the last Courier intimates. Governor Chamberlain vetoed the appropriation for the Oregon University, merely for political purposes, that gentleman will find that his action in the light of recent events is likely to give hiiu more or less trouble. The friends of the state institution now aver that the Governor's action will make it harder to carry the matter through another election. If Governor Cham berlain tried to make capital out of the matter, he has certainly made a bud mess of It. to say the leant. Grunts Pass ia having a bad case of "Tokay fever," and everyliody if evidently going into the business of growing this famous grape, if we may judge by the way the people are en thused over ttie matter. And it is contagious too. Why, even the traveling men who come to this city are filching it and they are buying land and planning to have vineyards. Wonder if the Medford Tribune w ill give ik as much publicity over this " dise i-e" hs. it tried to do over one e did not lime. Uuess it will hetti- Just to think of it I We have not had a death in Grants Pass for two long weeks and we have many new comers in onr mtdit every day wno are here to make their homes. This doesn't look much as though we bad an epidemic of any dread disease, the outside world believe. And not a single crazy individual within the confines of this entire county within 30 days. But Medford is not in Jose phine county, else we might not make as the Medford Tribune would have this boast, for many people would claim that the Tribune Editor may have gone daft! Oregon is coming graudly to the front a a great fruit growing sec tion. Indeed, that report made public a few days ago, in which it was shown that our income from this one source alone, during the past year amounted to 14,276,185 was truly an eye opener for even our own people and it will set the people of the east to talking about ua aftar a fashion that is truly to be Desired. What we need more than anything else is to get the bare facts to those people. The facts are good enough. We need not elaborate upon them to any length, for the facts are in themselves enough to create much favorable comment.

SOUTHERN OREGON SUPPLY CO- Now that the city election is near at band, or rather the primaries for the same, it behooves us to take more than a passing interest in the import ant matter.
