Peterson, who has a fine or- chard near Hugo, was at the county seat, Tuesday, laying in supplies and while here be was encountered by a Courier man and told bow nioely bis fruit was doing. In fact be brought along a fine sample in the shape of a Buperb Virginia Beauty apple, which measures 13 inches in circumference. Mr. Petersen spent 80 years railroad i ng, but six years ago be concluded to 1 go it alone and now be has an or- ichardjost coming, into bearing. He will ship 800 boxes of elegant apples this season but next year be calcu lates that be will have all of a car of bis own production. He is putting 10 acres to peaches as he has splendid land for that purpose. Of course he thinks that this is the fluent country on earth and nothing would ever in duce luin to leave it. .. E. A. Rstlibone, who hails from Lyons, Colorado is another of tb parties who dropped into Medford, buwho became' disgusted with tbe wsy they boosted tbeir own locality and taid all kinds of mean things about all adjoining sections. He finally came here to see for himself, to use bis own words Medford "isn't in it for one moment." He believes that fully 80 families, all his old neighbors and friends and very de sirable people from Colorado will soon come to locate right here in this re gion, as they were only waiting to get word from him. He was In the mercantile business for some yearn, but now will devote bis time to fruit raising. He thinks this is tile garden spot of the west and comes to this decision after having visited all the other places. tunity to visit tbe big churches of Portland and bas also mingled with otber peoples, but comes home, pre- fering bis own people. Mr. Day is a musician and has a clarionet of his own, which he plays in church, as be accompanies the singing and he may couclude to come down and prac tice with the Grants Pais band boys. Although nearing what sometimes is regarded as the "dead line" in a preaoher's life, yet he did not hesi tate to start out and walk back home, not spending a half day waiting for the train. Hs thought nothing of walking the nine miles. "It looks to me as though everybody wan goiug.into the business of grow Ing Tokay grapes," remarked Geo. H. Parker, the successful nurseryman, while in conversation with the Courier representative, "les, 1 am selling all kinds of orders for this favorite fruit. I book orders almost every day for them and some days get several orders. One niau wants me to figure on furnishing him with all the way from 10,000 to 50,000 Tokay viuts. I think this means great things for the Valley, for we have so much laodthat is well adapted for the growing of grapes and when ouce we get a big acreage of this most desirable fruit, we will have something that will bring us in great big Incomes and will enriob tbe Toantry as nothiug else can possibly do."

"I am not a prophet nor the son of one, neither am I a better man," said prominent resident of Orants Pans who has just been out over the county to the newsgatberer and then he continued, "bat I will venture this statement that Orants Pass and the whole of Josephine county is going to go "dry" at tbe next general election and I would almost be willing to put up money on it, if I believed in betting. Why, I find that even those farmtrs who occasionally take a glass, when they come to town, say that it is a bad thing for them and for the rising generation and you may mark my word if they don't close out tbe saloon business in this count,, at the next election. Now, if the good church and temperance people of the Pass could ouly stand united, why it would be a sweeping victory, I aiu sure." "Say, Mr. Editor, why can't you boom the idea of our having a for- nitare factory?" said Joseph Mom, the well known citizen. He called at- ; teution to the fact that there is plenty of fine oak timber and told how ; a prominent niillniau bad just informed him that he could readily furnish 1000 or 50.000 feet of choice oak, on very short notice, lu fact, he said the supply was abundant for each an euterprue. Mr. Moss is not alone in this idea, for several citizens have beeu looking into this matter aud they are flndiug that it is altogether a feasible undertaking. One of them tells of a small oak table, the top of which measures ouly six feet aud yet it cost :I0 and he has figured it out that a good part of that sum has been pi ill for freight. He finds that a small oak rocker will cost from f 1.1 to fJ0 and that the freight is a big part of tbe cost. Josephine t)uk is regarded as mighty fine for such pur poses and it would be a splendid thirg if Grants Pass could have a factory established for turning out such de sirable goods. .. "We members of the entertainment course wish yon would impress npou the people of U rants Pass the import ance of their all takiug hold of this matter aud putting their names down for st'ascu tickets," remarked one leading, public-spirited citizen who is . devoting time and money to provid ing a flue series of chok-e eutt'rtaiu ments for the people of thiaoity. Tliis is not a mouey-makiug idea, but the plan is to trovide a whole some lot of attractions that, would not otherwise come to this city. No ootimmr.ity in Southern Oregon can boast of such thiugs aud Orants Pass residents should not be slow in show iug their appreciation aud should gladly subscribe lor the season's course of ut(rtaitmieuts. If you have not already done so, see some member of the committee having the nittter io hand aud peak for as many season tickets as you cu us.

A newcomer tells thef Courier how be happened to go to Medford before coming here and how they labored with bim to get him to remain there. He said that what aroused him more than anything else was the way ther endeavored to make bim think that there, was really no other place in Southern Oregon, where good fruit land; could be had. But be had re ceived some information before going there and they could not make him believe all their staff. One leading booster even followed him to Grants Pass, in ths endeavor to persuade him to come back there and locate. But they wasted their ammunition, for he thinks tbat he would much rather live In this part of the valley and has already secured a piece of good fruit land and the longer be stays here, the better pleased is he with bis selection of this locality as his future home. Hon. J. M. Glass, of Pasadeua, Cal., a noted temperance orator is in the city aud rumor has it that be is goiug to labor in Jackson and Josephine counties for the purpose of helping curry these "dry" at the next elec tion. Mr, Glass, in speaking l"ng this line, remarked that it was no longer a question of mortality, as the liquor dealers admitted that it was wrong to sell the stuff, "But", said he, "what we want to do is to con vince the taxpayers that it is going to lower taxes and bring in lots of good people, aud then they will wipe it out of existence. Why, Stockton, Cal., hat so maay saloons and dronken ness that the business men aud the citixeus in general began to agitate he gathered 350 worth at one time and ever since he has averaged about 5 per week from tbe luscious straw berries and he expects them until tbe frost comes. Of coarse his neighbors sing another tune, now and when they found that Mr. Calhouu refused to take 2500 for the place this season, holding it for 3500 and not very anxious to let it go even at that big advance, thev see whete he bas tbe laugh on them. He will pot out some peaches and some Tokay grapes and soon will hsve one of tbe banner places of the Rogue River Valley.
