The people of Grants Pass should turn out en masse to hear this able discourse. Dm't miss this rare literary treat In last week's Courier appeared a patent medicine advertisement, pur porting to be a testimonial from Mrs. H. R. Veafcb, who denounces the whole thing as outrageous, paying that she not only had never oned the medicine in question and most as suredly that he did not reruiit her name to be uxed by this company.

I The Tolono restaurant has again changed hands, Albert Archer having leaned the property from M. W. Turner, the retiring operator. Work on the rew warehouse being erected by Cramer Bro. is progress ing nicely. H Eastman & Son have the brick work almost completed. Freight business at the S. P. de pot is again assuming large propor tions and tbe Grante Pass merchants are daily receiving large shipments of holiday gcods. Easterners can hardly realize that the winter season is at he nd, as they hear the robins, linnets and thrushes singing among the madrono trees, juat as though springtime was here. Saturday and Monday tbe streets of Grants Pass presented a very lively aspect, many people being in from all parts of the coonty to trade and the merchants report a very floe trade. iuv r uuu iie cuuuuciea Dy ins members of the Woman's Home Mis-1 slonary Society, at T. B. Cornell's store, Saturday, waa very successful, all the articles offered being quickly taken by purohasera. Work at the Grants Pass Cannery is moving along nicely, the spray de partment being run to its full capa city. "Sampson's Spray" is in great demand all over Southern Oregon. As a matter of fact it keeps the local manufacturers hustling to meet all the demands for this product. The Oregon Wool Growers' Associa tion, whioh was recently in session, profiting by tbe cooperation idea which the fruit growers have so suo oesafully carried out, will greatly re duce the coat of salt they use, as they have decided to buy and operate a salt well of their own, in Utah. It looks good to see the big boxes of fish which are daily sent out of this city by the Rogue River Fisherman's Union to San Francisco. Los An geles, Portland, Seattle aod other mar kets and it means that there is a nice payroll resulting therefrom. It is roughly estimated that fully 1000 pounds are thus sent out every 24 hours. "Savage's Hall," located ou Savage Creek, is being greatly enlarged and Improved. Tbe original building waa 80xft0 feet in size. A new dining room, 16x78 feet, a kitchen, 15x10 feet and an 8xlA dressing room has been added, mak ing very comfortable quarters Xhere will be a big social dance given there Christmas night and another New Tear's evening, both of which prom ise to be very enjoyable affairs. R. L. Coe, the merchant is doing i some most valnabe missionary work for this locality, by sending back ' east some fine samples of fruit to parties thinking of coming west. He also sends them some good adver tising matter and information ' regarding the fruit growing industry. : He finds that they are very much in : terested in the Rogue River section and believes that many of them will come here to reside. Such efforts are moat commendable and it everyone woo Id do likewise, it would bring about great reaults in this valley. Sometimes one bas to go away from home to learo home news. For Instance, read this from the Jack sonville Post : "At the city election in Grants Pass J. C. Smith won over L. B Hall for Mayor by 74 votes. Councilmen are: T. P. Cramer, James Tuffs, Charles Burkhalter, Frank Fetich. Extreme bitterneaa marked the close of the moniclpal campaign. One of the sensational In cidents was the forcible ejection of A. B. Cornell, well known in Jack sonville, a Hull worker, from the office of Police Judge by C. H. Clements. The Hall managers also had challengers at the various polling I places, which tended to increase the bitterness." Elsewhere in today's Courier is to be found the statement of one of Grants Pats' solid financial Institutions The Grants Pass Banking & Trust Co. This report furnishes good read- ing for every citizen who tins the best ' inten-sts of this city and county at heart.
