WHAT PEOPLE SAY
C. S. Hoxie, who recently cams to
Grants Pass, after looking of er Mod
lord and other places on the Pacific
ooast, and bought borne place, la
more than pleated with the climate
and people. He bad spent aboot 85
years in doing indoor work, back at
Omaha, Nebraska and now he pro
posed to lengthen bii earthly career
by having outdoor employment. "I
tell yon I am enjoying this new order
of thing. " he remaked to the Courier
man." I have just bewn putting out
a thousand fine strawberry plants aod
am going to do lots more such work,
just as soon as oor car of household
goods arrive arjd we gt things
straightened out. Yes, we like it
here, very much and don't believe we
will ever have cause to regret coming
here to cast in our lots with your
people. "

sirable than his presence. By all
standing togetherandsayingonly

in gettiug outside capital to oome in

that we need just such "pull-to

people once all sUnd together it will

Carl Iiuniun, who has a fine ranch
near Bach, Jackscn county is another
resident of the county to the south
of ns who is finding that Grants Pass
affords hiut a belter market for his
farm products and likewise that he
can purchase merohandiiie here
oheaper than he can at Medford er
Jacksonville. He brought ia a load
of com, of which he bag a nice crop
and he found a ready sale for it at
11.35 per 100 pounds. He informed
the Courier that he also brought
some wheat here, the other day and
that it brought him 10 cents on the
bushel more than he could get at
either of the places mentioned above.
Although it takes him a day to come
and another day to return home, yet
he finds that it is a paying trip to
coma here to market and to do bis
trading.

W.' L. Babcock, one of the sub
stantial Sucker Creek farmers, whose
place Is near Holland, brought In
sums superb potatoes to relatives in
this oity and the "spuds" were mag-
nifloienl to behold. Fifty-five of
them tipped the scales at 111 pounds
and they were all sonnd and good, not
one having spots or being hollow.
He thinks this part of the valley is
the best plaoe on earth and the longer
he lives there, the more pleased he 1.
Mr. Baboock is taking a lively In
terest in the newly organized Orange
and predioU thai It will prove to t
very beneficial to the people of that
locality. His Orange boasts one ot
the largest lists of charter member
ship to be found in any such organiza
tion ia the state.
Messrs. Clarence and Ray Veneable,
sons of W. H. Veueable, who owns a
good farm place in the Upper Apple
gate vallty, were in marketing some
produce and they toll the Courier
man that they believed that a great
mauy people from this neighborhood
would come to Grants Pass to trade,
if the wluter roads were ouly better,
for he says that although it takes a
day to come here and then another to
return home, yet they find the prices
paid for farm products are be tier Tare
and that the merchants sell cheaper
than they do in places near their
own home. Thev said that the worst
piece of the public highway was the
last five miles as they approached this
city, whore it has not been graded and
there are bad chuck holes. They have
1000 sacks of flue potatoes to market
and also much wheat and oorn.
They an' enterprising farmers and
have agreed to take hold of the Ap
plegnte Valley telephone Hue, if the
same is extended up their way. It ia
already constructed as far as the
ranch of Henry Kobli, only four miles
from their plaoe.
A. B. Cornell made a two weeks'
business trip out in the Kerby and
Waldo section of the oounty. last
week, aod he reports baviug had
spUbdid success but he remarked that

auccssful.had the people learned of the
financial flurry. However, he finds
that part of.the county, like the whole
of Josephine, in good condition and
the people are uot anticipating any
hard times.
F. A. Pteroe, the Angora goat man
was la fToui his Merlin place and in
talking with the reporter, he ex
pressed himself as vary sanguine
about the future growth and develop
ment of this country. He speot 38

"Whv can't our nolioe urest these
bands of hoboes who are now in
testing this resion?" asked ' one in
telliseut citizen. "Yon ses these
fellows migrate to the north, in the
springtime, when it becomes unbear
ahly hot in California, then in the
late fall and winter, tbey travel back
and they are a decided menace to
every railroad community throogh
wn.oh they travel. They break into
houses, steal chickens, rob orchards
and do all kinds of deviltry. Why
not arrest them and put them to work
on .oor streets and public roads?
Judge Hanna shows them no mercy,
but sends them to do service in the
"pen" at Salem, whenever they are
apprehended and brought before him
I think some concerted action of this
kind might result in causing this an
desirable element to give our city the
go-by. As it is now, our women and
children are afraid to venture out of
the house, after dark, for fear of being
frightened by these miserable fellows
Why X know of such cases that are
happening in our city every week and
I think it is about time to pot a stop
to it. So I say, let out officers round
up these fellows and pat them to
work, a thing they will not do unless
the law gets hold of them and makes
them do. They will rob, kill burn
or do autyhing, just to keep from
working. But if they are gathered in
and made to work, they will then
give our city rest."
"I think 16 attorneys are too many
for Grants Pass aod Josephine
county," was the remark made by
Attorney Robert O. Smith, to the
Courier nuwsgatherer and then he
proceeded to ioform the penoil pusher
that he really contemplated removing
to Portland, where he has an exten
sive acquaintance. He says that he
has been offered a retainer fee of
$'2000, annually, by one leading firm,
alone, for his services and he thinks
that it is too good a chance to miss.
But naturally enough he dislikes to
pull up and leave Grants Pass, where
he has been the Nestor of most of the
newspapers now In existence here.
He says he famished the necessary
cane, or starting each one. But he
does not think that this is a very good
newspaper field and remarked that be
haa "sunk much money in such ou-
dertakinns. "
"Say, Mr. Editor, wish yon would
advise the oity council to quit soaring
so high and to get down and look
after the many little thinirs which
need attention," said one citizen qud
then he proceeded to remark : "What
we really need is men of 'sand' who
will do wh t they know is right.
No for instance, they require the
private citizen to build a sidewalk in
front of his place or residence or busi
ness, aud we have to act accordiun-
ly, but they let the miserable stretch
of walk over the railroad tracks go on
month after month, a dirgrace to the
city. We are told that the railroad
will atteod to that matter, but just
when is the unsolved problem. In
stead of pausing useless ordinances.
let them look after such matters as
this." The reporter sust-ested that
perhaps this gent email would lie
willing to stand for the office of city
councilman, as an election is soon to
be held and the voters are lookina for
