WHAT PEOPLE SAY t
D. 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. D.m't put il
off until tomorrow or next week, but
attend to it today. -

that these places are
take much satisfaction in seeing the
country settled up with a desirable
class of people.
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.
