NOTES AND COMMENTS 1
By Old Man Smith J
PANAMA A PROPHECY.
Looking at a 'map of the world one
oan hardly belp noticiog tbe line that
bind the continents together so that
on can travel through the continents
of Europe, Asia ami Atrica entirely
by land eioept for the Sues canal.
Tbe same is Una of North and Booth
America which In time is to be out by
the i Panama canal These lines are
both coojanctiTe and disjunctive.
Defore man learned to navigate tbe
seas b obeyed tbe Injunction to Oil
tbe earth and subdae it by wandering
on fool. The various nations and lan
guages have been formed by disper
sion. But In tbe maklug of Eogland
and the United Stales f America
the opposite process of amalgama
tion has been working for retnrn to
original unity. It is too far between
New York and Ban Francisco by
water so we must cot the distance by
cutting tbe continent. It is too far
from the Paciflo coast to London aud
the Paoaina canal will make as nesrer
neighbors to the sis millions of people
that beetle to and fro in thai great
rutro polls. Mouutains, Rivers and
oceans that were formerly boundary
lines are no longer barriers to free
Intercourse and the world is coming
to nearer relationship. Judging the
future by the past the Panama canal
is the harbinger of the day when all
barriers ihall be overcome that staud
in the way of the brotherhood of
nations -the federailon of the world.
The star of empire travels west
ward and the I'nited States is rising
in moral grandeur as it is riling in
its worldwide influence iu the affairs
of nation. It is an idle boaxt for
"The Eastern nations sink, their glory
mil. An Empire rises where I ht

Don't be coot inn ally scolding and

It worries and fieta but ssver cor
rect. A little girl got so'osed to tbs
phrase "moso't touch it "that it lost
its force. One day being left alone
be climbed upon a chair and tried to
reach the little gold fish in the globe.
She npset tbe globe ,'when water and
fish aoon reached the floor. The little
one exclaimed "I dens I tilled old
musn't touch it this time."
A qaestion of ethics arising at this
season has never been settlsd. Ia it
fair to accept a beautiful and expen
sive calendar from your grocer and
tbeo cut off the advertising or cover

A little boy almost breathless with
excitement the other day said: "Oh,
oar little calf has got a cow."
What a curious maze to a foreigner
is the English language. A French
man was looking oot the open window
of bia car when the conductor shooted
look out I His head was iu danger
of sudden contact with pest, benue

istic of ths English said tbe French
man, last when they say look out
tbey mean for you to look in.
Mark Twain was 'patriotio enough
to be willing to sscricfie all bis wife's
relations on tbe altar of his country.
Virtue by proxy is too off n and too
numerous. Too many men are
brothers-in-law in moral and reli
gious reform. There will be no
crown wearing by proxy.
Anent the New Laundry
Editor Courier: In an article ia
yeur last issue, entitled, "Ao Up-lo-Date
Laundiy for Grants Pass,"
Mr. Geo. G. Peil say that ths work
at the laundry has Mien materially
since be disposed of the laoodry, some
months ago. 'Wto"wre not aware that
be bad disponed of it. At less! be
was willing to go on the stand and
take ao oath that be had not.
We note, also, that be tells the good
people that be is going to have a new
driver and completely renovate the
business. We will state that whsn
I went to wore for Mr. Peil last
March, be bad driver working for
IT per week and five par cent com
mission and that said driver's wage
and commission amounted lo 111 per
week. So yon are the delivery lot
amounted to about $80 per week.
Recently, the last fsw weeks I
drove tbe wagon, the lot "ran up to
$102 and IIUU per week. So you can
see how the work has fallen off.

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN
LOCAL BUSINESS CIRCLES
This week an important chsnge
took plsce in local business circlss,
whsreby .1. F. Klein, an experienced
tailor, of Rock Rapids, Iowa became
the partner of F. G. Roper, the suc
cessful Grants Pais tailor. Mr. Roper
has been enjoying a splendid ran of
business aud the volume of trade was
bscoiuiag so great that he felt the
need of just such assistance as Mr.
Klein will Render. Mr. Klein is
spoken of most highly by h s home
paper, the "Review"' in regretting
his luavuig remarks that "He did a
splendid busiuess lisre, and leaves
ouly for the reason that he believes
that he will enjoy better heslth there,
at he is afflicted with rheumatism.
Personally he is a tine fellow and de
serves a full measure of inccess. "
He brought with him letters of in
troductiou front tbe batiks, which in
dicate very plainly that he itood high
in the estimation of the community
and is a man of sterling worth aud a
desirable citizen for any ccuiuiuuity.
His wife aud little son will toon
follow him to their new home iu this
city.
Mr. Klriu informed the Courier re-
peiter that he was very much pleased
with his osw locution aud he believss
that hs will like the people and
climate very lunch. He, like many
oth'ri coming this way, sirs a bright
future for this sutire locality and he
Is to be congratulated upon being
able to st p into a hands.ime bn.iiie9
so well built up as ths tailoring es
tablishment which Mr. Roper has
been conducting;.
Theie geutlenieu will make a team
that will be hard to beat aud the
Courier does not hesitate t o predict
for them a large aud constantly in
creasing business, which they will
most certainly deserve. l it it
