S. WILSON, Agent Grants Pass, Oregon AUTO VEHICLE CO., Corner Tenth & Main Sts., Los Angeles, Cal.l O U R O U R The following letter received this I week from H. C. Rich of Coolldge, j Washlngon, will be of interest to onr readers. There Is food for thought In It and, should anyone desire to write Mr. Rich, he will undoubtedly be glad to receive the correspondence. Coolldge Wash., Dec. 24th, 190S. A. E. Voorhles, Prop. Hogue River Courier, Grants Pass, Oregon, Dear Sir: Two Issubb of your pa per at hand for which kindly accept thanks. The writer saw an exhibit of the fruit from your section at Nat tional Apple Show, Spokane, and are now trying to get posted as to advan tages and facilities of your section. This particularly as regards the road conditions that lead to your city from outlying districts. Since arriv ing from the east two years ago the writer has been investigating the needed Improvements for lands that are somewhat remote from a market and finds the most urgent is trans portation facilities, above that of team haul of three or four miles per hour under load. Owing to the strong demand for eastern capital from sections that are well developed and have tonnage at band the financial element east only will listen to the parties representing the most favored localities and when a deal Is made on bond basis (the es tablished custom) the deal Is such that not only the capital advanced is paid back but as bonus the cream of the profits of the transportation line remains In the hands of the eastern faction for all time to come.. If these lines arc profitable to the eastern element is there any reson why the Bame would not aply to local capital provided it was within reach of such capital. Again, sparsely set tled districts, while having Just as productive and valuable land as that close to market, finds no attraction in the eyes of the eastern capitalist or settler, as the first demands ton nage at a profit before Investing a dollar and the second refuses to set tle far from market with no transpor tation method outside of his wagon equipment. This I find applies to districts from 10 to 20 miles from a market center of marKet facilities and presume you have roads leading from every di rection Into the Interior of your county. The ideaof the writer has been and Is, (who is an engineer by profes sion) to convert the common high way or such ortlon as may be neces sary into a motor way for power equipment and at the same time al low automobile travel over the same. This can bo acompllshed In a prac tical way for about $2000 per mile and make the motor way of cement top coat with macadam sub base and which Is acknowledged the only road surface that will withstand the wear and skidding of power vehicles. Tests are on record where thU" type of road way wears for years with no expensive upkeep and under very heavy traffic. On a motorway of above type a schedule of 20 miles per hour can be maintained and 40 tons at each haul. This in applying to sparsely settled districts would fill the bill as an outlet as the settler could get to market 20 miles away In an hour and return In same length of time while with team haul of a couple of of tons would require all day and far Into night for return If not the next day. Telephone and rural delivery would follow a line of this kind when settlers enough were In the district to justify a modern up-to-date electric no trouble would be had (n securing capital, and the owners of motor way would bo In an Independent position to dictate terms, etc. As an advertising feature to draw settlers do not know of a more valu able one than a transportation outlet going right by the doors of the place where the Intending settlor la pro posing to locale. Are there any roads or roads that have 20 miles out good productive j land and the grade of road not ex cessive. Also are there progressive men In your territory who wouli be II line with a project of this kind after they had fully Investigated and found all satisfactory? The writer Is also looking for a locality to make a home as be has not as yet made a selection for one, Am at present In charge of this place, having 1600 acres of sage brush land under water 'from a 3000 gallon per minute Oas Producer plant. This Is all Irrigation from start to finish and a slip In water means Injury to crop and personally prefer more natural moisture where Irrigation Is not required constantly, although do not care for excesive rainfall, where one is drowned out most of the time. Addressed a letter to your com mercial club some few days ago but presume they have overlooked same or are rather slow In correspondence. Would bo pleased to receive your views and In case It Is desired, can run down and see your city and have a personal conference. Yours very truly, 11. G. RICH. CATAKKII CI RK! Xo Cure, .Xo Pay, 1st a Mwt (ienrrouN Offer. To get an antiseptic strong enough to kill catarrh germs and not de stroy, the tissues of the membrane at the same time, has been a problem which was never solved until the discovery of Hyomel (pronounced Hlgn-o-me). Hyomel Is prepared from eucaly ptus, the most powerful, yet henling antiseptic known. Breathe It thru the Inhaler over the Inflamed and germ-ridden membrane four or five times a day, and in a few days the germs will disappear. The Inflamed condition will go. too, and the snuffling, hawking and offensive breath, and the discharge of mucous and crusts In the nose will cease. Then why should any catarrh sufferer hesitate, when Pemaray has such faith In Hyomel that ho offers to return your money If after a fair trial Hyomel does not cure catarrh. A complete Hyomel outfit, Includ ing the inhaler, costs $1 and extra bottles, If afterwards needed, cost but 50 cents. Hyomel also cures asthma, croup, sore throat, coughs, colds or grip.

The Charter Commission at Eu gene Is considering the advisability of suggesting the Des Moines plan of government. In brief, this plan calls for five departments of business, the council reduced to five members, all elected at large, and all paid a fair salary. Ench councilman would be at the head of a department and held responsible for the work In that de partment. A Common Cold.
