GRANTS WHAT PEOPLE SAY I In writing the Com it r. regarding other matters, "Tom" Richardson, the hustling manager of the Portia d Commercial Club, took occasion to say, among other things: "I hear a great deal of complimentary talk about the Rogue River Valley and sincerely hope this little hesitation in financial matters will only be temporary and will in no wire inter fere with tbe general progress of your community." Attorney Edward S. Van Dyke not only finds time to attend to his legal matters, but also is potting a 36 acre piece of choice grape land in fine con dition. He tells tbe Courier news rustler that It is lots of fun to get np before daylight and mount hit bike and take a run of 25 minutes ont to bis piare and then spend an hour outting stove wood.' before returning to his office for the day's grind. Thn, in the ev ning be hikes out there again and puts in another hour or so in like manner. This superb exercise is putting him In fine trim and he will soon be able to tackle any of the athletes around the city. Jacob Voorhlese, the man who is organising so many branches of the Grange all over this state Informed the Courier man that while tbe or ganization esuhewed politics, in the generally accepted sense of tbe term yet they did propose to take a band in J the choosing or good men for olfice. in the ooonty, state and national affairs. He finds that such an organi zation, by standing together and re quiring the political parties to put up only good, clean men and by going to the members of the legislators and requesting that only such laws as are for the beet interests of the common people be enacted, that they do much real g"od. He tees a very useful career for the organisation, which is growing in numbers and influence right along. ''I tell you, if the people of Grants Para and Josephini county only knew what a treat was in store for them, there would not be more than standing room at the mass meeting at the new opera boose, next Sunday mornlna-," said an enthusiastic oitizen and he oootioued: !!Yes. I have frequently heard Dr. E. S. Chapman, who is to deliver the address and he is one of the finest polpit orators I have ever heard. Ton mark my word every man who is there in the morning will be there again at night, for he will know just what a rare treat he is missing, if he once hears him. He is earnest and impressive and can hold large audiences spellbound with h a matchless eloquence." "Yon may put me down for tbe first prize at the coming poultry show," said C. E. Palmer, one of the energetio salesmen of the Southern Oregon Supply Co., "I mean it too. I think I will have no trouble in mak ing my word good, for I have some mighty nioe birds and they are going to beat everything else, I think. " "Say, Mr. Editor, I noticed what the 'Prominent Citizen' had to say about the city council compelling the railroad to build those sidewalks and I wish you wculd inform him that we will be only too glad to turn the job over to him, if he thinks it is so light and easy." This was the way Mayor Smith accented the Courier man. He added : "Yes, that is about the idea people have of doing things of that kind. If they could ' nnlv take a hand in the actual work, ! they would probably nrohaM, see thin, in an altogether different light. It is no sinecure to properly loot aftr the ! city's Interests and at the same time please everybody. Guess that would be an utter impossibility. But if this g-ntleman wants to try his hand, we will, as I say, let him have a good opportunity to do things as they ought to be done." "Yes. you are rightly informed when you say tbat you hear that a I am in favor of the municipal ownership of public utilities," con tinued Mayor Smith. "Of course I would want the conditions to be ripe for such a move. I would favor hav ing the legislature extend tbe limit of our bonded indebtedness and then, we could easily pay all operating ex penses, and at the same time belay ing ande sinking fsnd and in the years to cone we could pay off the bonds and the city would have a gcod investment. I am convinced tbat the 112 old company does not propose to sun 102 mit to any reduction of rates, even though the city council passes an ordinance requiring them to do so, bnt I am in favor of seeing that thy do comply with the laws governing such matters. That plant is owned, for the most part, I understand, by ouui.!t capitalists and what do they care for our wishes tr welfare in the PASS, OREGON NOVEMBER 15, SOME BARGAIN POINTERS News Notes From the Business Men to R.eiders.

Tbe "Kilties" have receoty re turned from a triumphant tour of Mexloo, where they were the first musical organizatioa from a foreign country touring that Republic, and playng the best theatres. There is no other concert Band in tbe world as unique as this one. Not only is It a remarkable combina tion of high clats artists who render clasio and popular musio with an equal musical understanding, but it represents in 'costumes and appear ance, the Nation from which each player is sprung. The men who wear tbe Kilts of Scotland (from which the name "Kilties" is derived) are all Scotch Canadians, and accompany ing the Band, is a splendid male choir, which sings the ballad of tbe Mother Country as no one but Scotch can. Ia addition to these singers, there is a troupe of Scotch Pipers and Dancers, headed by Angus McMillan Kraser, who dances with trueJScotcb fervor and remarkable grace. The visit of the Kilties to Grants Pas is ao evmt that will be enjoyed by all who hear these traveled, talented flayers matter, if they can take more money ont of our pockets, as consumers of their water. So I say, I favor the city's owning and controlling such things., wheoever tbe time is ripe for our doing so. "Have yon noticed the agitation which is going on In Portland, to have the city oooncil pasa an ordi nance, requiring that tbe cement side walks have a dark tint and not be so trying on the eyes?" was the query one geutleman pot at the scribe. Then be bxk occasion to remark that Judge J. M. Chiles of this city was having tliU idea earned out, in the building of the concrete walks in front of his business block on Frout street and he believes that the Orants Pass city council should look into this matter, for he avers that many newcomers, in the summer season do not take k'ndly to the glare of the white walks and he thinks tbat it is a matter that ought to be looked after. "I notice that one of your corres pondents pokes some fun at me, when he refers to the ' Hood River editor,' said Charles Mnterve, to the news gatherer. "Thonder and Mars! I ns-d, when I was connected with the Courier, to jay k up onr Josephine county people by 'telling them ?iow the reople of Hood River were doing things and I guess some people did not takejtn.thejdi-a any too kindly. ' ' 1907. gocoocooocococxxxxxooococo x A Brief Record of P Local Events. Harvey Kesterson is building a nice, $1000 residence, on a beautiful aite. at tbe head of Sixth Street, Joeeph Harper, the contractor being in charge of the work, which Is being done by dty labor. It will certainly be a credit to that part of the city. "You may say for ns that we are on top and we promise stavimr there" was the good natured way in which Cashier Jewell of the Grauta Pass Banking & Trust Co. spoke to the reporter who inquired as to how things were going. Cashier Gilkey of the First National Bank informed the Courier man that the outlook was very encouraging; that the bank greatly appreciated the loyalty of the business men and tbat the latter were now reporting that business conditions were very much Improved. Matt Brltt. a nephew of Mrs. Henry Ablf has arrivd from Austria, to make his home with Mr. and Mrs. Ahlf. Although he is well educated in the schools of bis native land, yet, in or der to more quickly master the Eng lish language, he will take abort oourse in the publio schools of this city. The Telephone people have just is sued a fine, new directory, which will be weloome news to their manr pat rons.

The boys were to well pleased with their prise that they packed tbe animal home, whloh waa a distanoe of about four miles.
