The enterprising firm of Geo. S.
Calhoun Co., advertised in the last
Courier that it would accept bank
checks and cash them. Saturday even
ing there was a big rash at that store,
and the people were very much
pleased with this accommodation.
City Recorder Clements informs the
Courier that he will be attheCityBall,
to register voters who cannot come
through the day, from 7 to 9 o'olook,
oa the evenings of November 25, 88
and 27.

which are due here at 10:15 and 6:23

of ;il :23, so Mr. Jester informs the
Courier.
Governor Chamberlain has ap
pointed Attorneys R. G. Smith and O.
S. Blanohard and M. O. Anient as
delegates to tbs Trans-Mississippi
Commercial Congress, which convenes
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, November
19 to S3, inclusive.

ing started a new Orange at Central
Point, of which L A. Merrimsn is

under most promising auspices, with
47 charter members.
O. O. Watson, a civil engineej, who
has been working on the Standard Oil
dock, at Portland, was a south bound
passenger, on Wednesday morning's
train and being a bit thirsty he trok
occasion to ran into a Grants Pais sa
loon. But when he came out his train
was moving. Being a bit boozy he
tailed to land safely on the car and
was thrown off, having his left leg
broken. Be is now at the South Pa
cific hospital in this city, where be
will remain until he is able to .walk
aboai again. He is 39 years old . and

While "Bud" Lawrence, aged 19
years was feeding, one of The saws at
the Williams Bros. Door & Lumber
Co., yesterday afternoon, one of the
loves he wore got oaoght in tbe roll
of the machine and his baud was bad
ly hurt so that, the doctors bad to
amputate it today. Be is now at the
South Pacific Hospital, where he is
getting along as well as cold be ex
pected. ; . .
This week, U. 8 Lnd Commis
sioner Joseph Moss had considerable
land business to look after. There
were no less than nine final proofs
on timber claims and one home
steader. Be reports that this is
about an average week and that busi
ness has been remarkably good in
that line, all the time.
"Say, Mr. Editor, wish you would
call attention to the loose manner In
which some people leave their teams
unhitched cn the streets of this city.
There is an ordinance governing such
matters and why couldn't the marshal
enforce it? was the Inquiry made
by one leading oltizen.
"Things are looking up," remarked
Cashier L L.JewelLof the Grants Pass
Banking & Trust Co.," And I think j
that it is only a question of a short
time until matters will be more set
tled. You see this state of affairs has
been brought on, firstly by Ibe wild
cat simulations of the Wall Street
gamblers and secondly by the fact that
jostat this season of the year the crops
are being moved and it takes an enor-
mons amount ui ujuu ..u...
them. 1 his is something for which
we are not at all to blame, but we are
going to make the best of the situa
tion. Yes, It really looks better all
along the line and I think I have
grounds for expressing the belief that
' the financial coudition will continue
to steadily improve right along."
