! WHAT PEOPLE SAY I
W. A. Hood, who osi-d to be car
penter, quit that business, . a couple
of) furs hiw a nil hince ihut time )ih

what of a novice at the busiuesK, yet
from tliree acrei of grnand, on Iowa
itrrt t he it efinily making a good liv
ing. Besides naving plmty of ft'ed
for lua Iiorw and cow and all the
vppetablea for the table use at home.
be realize folly $00 ptr year from
the crack he telle and he is finding
very healthful employment. He has
had green pea from May and had
nice ones for the Thnnkegiving sa
eon, as his many cnttomi-ra can attest,
lie bad fine celery, tome of the
bnnohts weighing orer aix pounds.
Other predicts did full? at well. Now
he is going to b well prepared for
carrying on tba business, having al
ready installed an electric- motor,
which brought up much mointore
from one well and now he is potting
in windmill and a reservoir. With
inch an equipment he will be in fine
tbape to carry on the basinets on a
large scale. He informed the Courier
man that the family only boys floor
and sogar, glide from clothing, hav
ing all the good thiogi desired from
the garden patch, all-the-year-roood.
Well, we are soon to have another city
election," sagely remarked voter,
who regained as followi: "and now
it is up to os to decide who shall fill
those important places. To my way
of thinking, this is very important
matter. In fact, the future Welfare
very much depends upon tha manner
in which oar rnanioipal affairs are
handled. Newcomers take notice of
suoh things and if they find that our
city council Is conducting things ia a
safe, bat businesslike manner, they
are favorably impressed and io order
to have the affairs csrried on that
way, it is of great importance that
only men of rsoognitsd ability and
n tegrlty be chosen for those places.
So, I for one, ant deeply interested
in seeing the best men obosen and to
that ead I am working and will oon
tlnue to work ontil the polls close
neit Mo nday evening. "
"It ia too bad that tha people of
Grant Fas do not appreciate a really
meritorious play more than they
showed they did by the way they
patronised tha Kilties," said Mr.
Kinney. He spoke all too truly, for
as he and everyone else knows, the
people seem to want the cheap, poor
aggregations and they will pack the
plathoase to bear suoh noDsanslual
staff. Mr. Kinney lost about 0 in
his efforts to afford the play lover of
this vlolnlty a good and wholesome
attraction and it 1 enough to dls
coorage hint from endeavoring to
bring the better olaas of performances
to this olty.
"Say, Mister Peucll-Pasher, did yoa
realize how our population is iuoreas-
lug?" wat tha salutation with which
the newigathcrer was accokted by
enoe bserving citizen, who continued
bis remark after this fashion : "Yes.
did yoo notice that there were three
births in one day in this city, last
week? That doenu't look much like
Grants Pats people: believed much
in raoe suicide, does It? And tay,
if the population continues to iu
cream at such a rate and the new
coiners keep on pouring in here, why
we ar going to outdintauoe all other
cities In Southern Oregon, sure I"
II. V. Warrington, a Canadian, iu
lubmTihiug for the Courier, writes
from Dritlsh Colombia, unclosing
"One good Canadian paper dollar."
He aiMs: "I limn been reading about
(irai.tt Pans ami surrounding country
and I am thinking some of paying
the district a visit." In conclusion
lie says: "This dollar is perhaps the
forerunner of many more Canadian
dollars that msy follow, if your country
is as good as you ssy it is. "
"Just hew one woman can lie pTTs
esed of the magnificent sum of f.io,
thoxe hard times is what gets ins, vim
the comment made by one resident,
upon heming that Miss Ireland had
lost her pursn, containing ail
amount. Mii.s Ireland tuys it was
something unusual tor her to carry so
much cash around with her aod ahe
would gladly divide the filthy lucre
with the finder, if the keys were alo
returned.
"Did I go to thst Commercial Con
gress, just held in Oklahoma, to
which I was appointed a4 a delegate
by Governor Chamberlain? Well, I
guess not. Why I get such empty
honors thrust upon me by that of
ficial about half a dozen times a year,
but that is only plan the Oovernor
has of trying to ourry favor with ns
fellows," said Attorney Robert Glenn
Smith to the news rustler.
"You'd be surprised to learn how
many people there are hereabouts
who, ontil judging by the Way they
register have no political pa-ty these
days," was the way City Recorder
Clements talked to the reporter.
"Yes, almost everybody in register
ing, when asked shout thtir political
party, remark that tbey belong to bo
party. Of coarse tbey can make such
a response and still vote at the com
ing election, as there were no prima
ries held aod the voter does not have
to state hi political affllationa." "
Gen. D. F. Pike, of Moro, Sherman
county, who is Past Commander of
the Oregon Department, of the G. A.
R , has been in Grant Pats, visiting
with old army. friends and others. He
has attended two G. A. R. encamp
ments in this part of the state and en
joys coining over this way. He states
that the financial situation in Eastern
Oregoa I very good and .in fact that
it has never been better. Tbey have
reoord breaking crops, both a to
yield and qoality. The wheat Is
stacked out in the sheds and in every
available place, awaiting oar for
shipment to the market. The stock
men have lota of fat beef cattle, while
the horsemen are in fine trim.
Whereas a few years ago tbey bad to
pot op with S35 cayuses, now they
have 260 and $300 Clyde and Per
ch eroo dra't animals. He feels con
fident that as rood a the money
situation improves throughout the
land, his Motion will prosper folly as
well as It be been doing in the past
Jadge W. 8. CrowelL who i presi
dent of tb First National Bank of
Med ford, spent a . part of last week,
visiting witb Grant Pass acquaint
ances, and in speaking of hi recent
trip to eastern parts of the oountry,
be took occasion to say that he
found the financial condition there
really better than it seems to be here.
He was in his native stat of Ohio,
as well as in New York and be man
aged to run op to Washington, the
aational capital, where ha paid his
respects to Presideut Roosevelt. He
I an ardent admirer of tha president
aod oomplimented the chief executive
upon hit admirable work in checking
the paoio in flnanolal matter. He
told the president that "as a demo
crat, a banker and a Western man,"
he paid the compliment This sesmed
to please Mr. Roosevelt very much
and he shook hands twice with his
western friend. Jodge Crowell re
marked that he found the President
looking the very picture of good
health and foond him to be a man
brim full of vitality.
M. K. Laudrn, secretary and vice
president of the Grants Pass Box
Factory is op from Sao Fraucisco, on
his frst tour of inspection. He is
greatly pleased with th lay of the
land here and is delighted with the i
good work being done by the large
plant. Sunday he took a walk aronnd j
the citv ami expressed great pleasure 1
iu the beautiful scenery and said thst j
if the people here only realized their
fine situation they would be able to
make much out of it in telling the .
eastern people of its site. He thinks
that if moli a people as the residents
of I. os Angeles could only have sack a
pretty locution as Grants Pass now
lias, they would boast of it all the
world over as being one or the finest!
ou the continent. Mr. Lauden is a!
luisiin s.i timn and appreciated the 1
splendid outlook in this direction for
this section of oountry.
