as it should be and it will not be long
until all resident! of tbia state will
bsre too much pride about them to
offer any bnt perfect frnlt for sale,
even without tbe restraining in
fluence of a law prohibiting It. When
nature is so provident in making it
possible to raise the Boest applet in
the world, the most loscioni pears,
and peaobes that can not be maiea
anywhere, why ehoold the residents
of the Rogue River Valley be con
tent to offer any but the most perfect
to buyers.
EXAMINING COMMITTEE
MAKE THEIR REPORT
CLASSIFIED ADS.
Next Thursday is Thansigiviog.
The day will be fittingly observed in
Grants Pass, and tbia is ss it should
be for thera is certainly no fairer
place on Uod'g green earth than this
little city nestled in the hills and
sorroanded by one of the most beauti
ful valleys In the world, where the
choiest of fruits and garden products
abondantly grow, where the climate
is almost perfection itself, aod where
all of nature's gift have been lavishy
applied. Residents of this favored
section oertainly have much to be
thankful for.
OA LIFORN IANS AWAKENED.
Ban Fraociico is aroused over tbe
-dastardly attempt of an exoonvict to
assasHloate Frauds J. Heney. It was
supposed at firt that the would be
murderer was in the pay of the Reuf
grafter gang, bat this belief is not
now generally accepted, However,
the result is the same as it has
brought about the awakening of a
pobllo conscience and the people of
the Bay City have determined to pat
an end to bribery and graft in con
nectloo with tbe handing oat of fran
chises and other olvio matters. It Is
' too bad for Heney, that he mast be
shot and wonnded nigh unto death to
awaken the San Franciscans to their
dotv. bat saoh Is the (ate of many eo
listed In good oaase.
Those who have watched the career
of Heney, were not surprised to learn
that his life had been attempted ; the
wonder is that it did not oocor long
ago. He has been absolutely fearless
in his prosecution and has not alone
made enemies of the persons on trial
bat of all others whether tbey were
jarvniBn, witnesses or otherwise
oonneoted with cases where occasion
warranted. Haas, who attempted bis
life, was drawn on the jury panel of
the first trial of Reuf, aod at that
time was oonfrorted by Heney with
Ills former record, and reminded of
the stripes he had worn. This Inci
dent caused Haas to attempt to kill
him.
lluuey may be, and probably Is a
fanatic, but no one doubts but that he
has been engaged ,n K01' work in
his prosecutions of graft and 'fraud
cases and nearly all will say, let the
good work ga on.
Now that Thanksgiving is near at
hand and the season for making the
winter's sopply of mince meat draws
near, those who are wont to eat pies
"like mother used to make" are
wondering what will take the place of
the brandy and sherry which have
generally been added to that kind of
plet. Looks as thoogb they would
have to be thankful if tbey get pies
at all.
Just stop aod think what it will
mean to Giants Pass and Jospehine
oounty when all the new orchards and
vineyards come Into bearing. The
income from grapes, apples, pears and
peaches set out in the fall of 1908 and
early spring of 1909 w ll oertainly reach
the million dollar mark and probably
greatly exceed It.
Things politically are warming op
again and a determined fight is being
made againt the election of Governor
Chamberlain lo the Senate. There
seems to be a wide difference of opin
ion throughout tbe state as to whether
Statement No. 1 means anything or
not. '
Good roads are essential to the
highest development of any country ;
let everyone turn out to the good
roads convention on the 23d, and
see that the Rogue River Valley has
Tbe lack of hitching posts on our
streets is the cause for just ooiuplulut
wbion is constantly being made by
farmers. When they come to town
they most either drive a team that
hasn't life euotigh to run awny or
else hitch them out in tbe suburbs
before they transact their buslneM.
As one of tbein remarked nut long
ago, it looks as though they were not
wauted In town. Here is a matter
whteb might profitably be discussed
and acted upon by the Commercial
Club. As the matter now stands it is
easier for a farmer to write out his
order and buy his goods from a mall
order house tlmu it is to hunt a place
to tie his team ami theu ruu around
town for supplies.
Everywhere throughout Oregon the
cry lit, raise better fruit, and nearly
every city has panned au ordinance
making it a misdemeanor to sell or
offer for sale fruit that Is scaly,
wormy or otherwise infected. This is
the best roads possible.
