FRIDAY APRIL 8. 1K08
The automobile waion la ojiun and
Grants Pass is la the swim.
"Fighting Bob" seems to have stab
bed his too against the J oat In the
"trip around tb horn" but willpend
only a row days at Sun Lois Obispo
after which he will assume coinmaad
of the fleet again at San Diego.
From all general indications it
would eocin that Grant Pan will, af
ter the Jnse election, be numbered
among the "dry" towns of Oregon.
Grants Pass has excellent schools and
churches and the standard of Intellect
and morality of the oity are certainly
indicative of a majority at the pulls
at the next election ,in favor of no
saloons.
The paving of Sixth street would be
a most attractive advertisement, for
Grants PaHS and a month after the Job
was done a largu majority of the
people who panned through here on the
trains would be boosting for the town
because of Its manifest enterprise.
Most all of them wonld say Grants
Pass is "up to now," and then
any other people outside wonld sit
np and take notice.
Grants Pans has long sinoe outgrown
hi r short dresses, aud is known as a
oity aud the numbering of the booses
is au enseutlal improvement In the
linn of modem progress. The num
bering of the houses is also Imperative
If the city shall enjoy the othei city
air to which she is entitled free
mall dtiliveiy. The volume of busi
ness of the Ursnts Pas post office Is
alreHdy such that the city is now
eligible to the free delivery list.
There are mauy stunller places will h

century list, will be MS pleasant and

thoroughly and with1 best of arsenate
of lead, bat it was because they failed
to spray at the right time. It has
been demonstrated time after time
that a delay of three days will render
useless spraying for codlin moth snd
It has been proven that spraying loo
soon was equally as oselesi. As (he
codlin moth varies in the time of its
appearance it takes an 6 1 pert on its
hahits to tell just when is the right
time to spray the trees to kill this
pent The winter aud spring weather
conditions affect the period at which
the first brood of moth hatches out
While one spring the 1 0th of May
might be Just the right date to begin
spraying for the moth yet the next
spil'ig that dste might be five or 10
days too loon or too late.
The fruit growers of Jackson oonuty
are to no longer dependent opou
guessing as to the time for the first
spraying for codlin moth for they have
arranged that their fruit Inspector, G.
W. Taylor, observe the development
of the moth io its larva and pupa
sta'e and thus learn at about what
date in the spring the full fledged
moth will make its appearance and
begin laying Its eggs. Mr. Taylor
has been carlyng on these experi
ment for several years for his own
information and be .s held by the
leading frolt growers of that coonty
nd by Prof. Cordley, entomologist at
the Agricultural College, to be one of
the best nested men in Rogue River
Valley on the bab'ta of the codlin
moth and now that his services have
been secured by the frnlt growers of
Jackson county they will be able to
know the exact date when to begin to
sprsy for the moth.
The Grants Pass Frolt Growers
Association has taken np a similar
work for the frolt growers of Jose
phine coonty and the recent meeting
of the Absolution arrangements were
made with H. O. Batehan to observe
the development ot the spring brood
of rodlin moth and also the latter
broods and notify the growers as to
the'dste when they should spray. Mr.
Iiatehara has made the cages and is
securing a qaautity of the cocoons and
he will piaoe them In the normal
weather conditions so that they will
develop simultaneously with those in
the orchards. So soon as he has as
certained the date that moths will
appear be will give notice to the frnlt
growers thrnogh the county papers
to that effsot. It will behoove lrult
growers wno do not want to suffer a
loss from wormy apples aod psars to
have their pumps io order and a sup
ply of arsenate of lead at hsnd so that
they raa begin spraying promptly on
the date when the most effective
killing of the pest can be made. Mr.
iinteharn is one ef ths recent arrivals
io Josephine county and he lias bought
a fine tract of fruit land in Fruitdsle
district, two miles southeast of Grants
Pass and will soon .move to hie new
home with his family, they now rest
ding in his city. Mr. Iinteharn Is
Iroui Hood Hiver where he was one of
the leading nurserymen aud fruit
growers of that famous fruit district,
lie was also deputy county fruit in
spector for Wasco oouuty lat Ji'itr and
he is one of the beet posted men iu
Oregon on the various pests t tint
prey upon the froits and terries in
this state. Now if the fruit growers
will avail themselves of Mr. Pate
hniu's knowledge they can avoid the
heuvy Ions from wormy fruit that liny
have heretofore suffered and thereby
add very lurgely to the profits of
their orchards.

KENNEDY'S LAXATIVE
COUCH SYRUP
ROGUE RIVER COURIER GRANTS PASS, OREGON, APRIL 3.
The Prinary
Campaign .
Antagonistic to the verge of bitter
ness, remnantf of the old machine
which once dominted Oregon politics
liavs taken op the fight for the de
feat of Statement No. 1 snd all who
favor that method
In Portland and other larger cities
of the state, the machine crowd is
centering its right upon H. M. Cake,
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for United fctates Senator. Mr.
Cake is a firm believer ia the popular
election cf United States senators
and because of his belief in the eo
pie, has Incurred the enmity of the
old machine politicians. Those who
are close to the sitoatioo however,
believe that the machine fight against
Mr. Cake, is the best thing that could
happen tr his campaign.
The people of Oregon expresied by
their adoption of the primary law and
Statement No. 1. what they thought
of machine methods. The old system
had brooght shame snd disgrace upon
the state had made the city of Salem
almost a Gomorrah in the way of po
litical wickedness. Periodicals and
newspapers of national 'circulation
pointed to our state as one of sodden
political corruption, of disgraceful
scandals.
It Is lo the hope of reviving this
old method by the defeat of Statement
No. 1 and of Mr. Cake, that the ma
chine politicians have started such
a bitter crusade against this new law.
Indeed, it is their only hope. Under
the present system, they are without
a Job. It is impossible for a dictator
to sit in bis office and say what shall
and shall not lie done by the peopl
of Oregon. No longer is a laturoa
lia of bribery and corruption possible
at Salem.
Evidences of this hospitality on the
part of the "system" have been sp
parent in various towns where Mr.
Cake has spoken during his present
Itiosrary. Large crowds have flocked
to hear him, but conspicuous by their
bsence, were the old-time leaders.
And in this connection it is a fact
worth mentioning that most of these
antagonistic politicians are either
office holders or have some claim up
on those Who are at present in office.
The people who are rallying to Mr.
Cake's standard are those Kepnblicani
who are intensely loyal to their
party but who resent any such dicta
torial methods as the old machine was
wont to me.
It is a foregone conclusion that
Statement No. 1 will prevail io Ore
gon at ths coming election. It is slso
a foregone conclusion that Mr. Cake,
the only real active supporter of this
measure will be elected if the repub
lican voiers of this stAte do thsir duty
and there is no room for doubt bat
that they will perfoiui that duty.
