THE NEW CITY ADMINISTRATION
The newly Inaugurated city ad
ministration will receive a hearty
welcome from all who favor making
Grants Pans a prosperous and thor
oughly progressive municipality. In
asmuch aa all the successful candi
dates, the mayor and council, ran
on- a progressive ticket, pledged to
business-like methods, we may
expect an up-to-date municipal
government. There will be many
demands on this administration but
it is safe to say that everyone of
these will be met In a buslnes-like
way. Street paving, sewer construc
tion anu the stamping out of nuls
ances including the unlawful sale of
Intoxicating liquors, no matter under
what name they are vended, will all
come up for action. These are only
a part of the demands the majority
of the voters will muke on the new
city officials. We think It safe to
predict that the men who were
chosen at the late election will not
be found wanting when they are
tried In tbe balance.
Grants Pass must not only be a
progressive but a clean town from
whatever standpoint it may be
Judged. It will be In order for the
city government to In every way
possible assist In the upbuilding of
Grants Pass; In short whatever may
' advance our business Interests or In
rrease the prosperity of the city as a
center of population that we have
faith to believe will receive attention
at the hands of the new admlnlstra
tlon.

A TIMELY SUBJECT,
i. An article taken from the Satur
day Evening Post on tbe apple Is
printed on the Oral page of this Is
sue. This story of the most popu
lar fruit grown In the United States
should be carefully read by everyone
Interested In this Important subject,
that Is la the cultivation of the ap
ple for profit. Grants Pass Is the
center of a vast territory which It Is
admitted will grow to perfection
more kinds of fruit than any other
part of the Pacific, coast. This Is
the testimony of the most experien
ced fruit growers who have Investi
gated the subject. There exists
conditions In this' part of Rogue
River Valley which make It the Ideal
place for the growing of the apple.
The soil and climate In combination
with the bright euriahlue, give alio,
color and flavor, producing a fruit
that has never been equaled In any
other part of the world.
The Interesting and highly Im
portant article referred to points out
the present difficulty of growing ap
ples In many of the states which
have heretofore been large producers
and glvea the facta as to the uniform
auccesa which baa rewarded tbe
Northwest. The article will greatly
encourage those who last year plant
ed large apple orchards In this
couuty. Tbla business Is without
doubt, when well managed, highly
profitable aad those who have the
moans, the knowledge and a delre
to follow the occupation of an or
rhardlst around Grants Pas. itay
feel reasonably certain of suecesa.
money at home and add It to the
wealth of our farmers.
Again irrigation will develop here
a creamery and a cheese factory
which will add largely to the pros
perity of our farmers and will make
this the supply point for these im
portant articles of commerce.
The Increase of farm productions
through Irrigation will make Grants
Pass and other railroad towns in thl.
county shipping points for every com
modity produced on the farm, aud
through this means great wealth will
be added to the farms under our Ir
rigating system.
Irrigation will more than double
the production of our orchards and
vineyards and will render these Im
portant Industries successful each
and every year to come. In the
plantng of new orchards and vine
yards Irrigation will Insure the
bring them to the bearing period
and bring them to the bearing period
much sooner than without if.
Irrigation It the only deiendance
of the small fruit grower. Straw
berries, raspberries and blackberries,
with all their numerous varieties can
only be successfully grown by the use
of water. These fruits are very prof
itable for shipping, and under Irri
gation this could be made a noted
place for the cultivation of small
fruits.
The Courier realizes these are
timely topics, now that Irrigation Is
In sight and Interested parties should
and doubtless will get ready to rev
olutionize methods on the farm, In
the orchard and vineyard as well as
in the garden.

donbtedly the best ever played In
this city, and both teams had to
fight bard for every basket that was
made. At first It looked as though
the "Nuggets" were going to be the
victors, but the Ashland boys Anally
got warmed up and It was anybody's
game up to the last minute of play,
Drat one and then the other side
beiag In the lead.
Tbe attendance at this game was
- - hat larger than at previous
games played In this city, which
goes to show that more Interest Is
being manifested In this lively win

the people will turn out In greater
numbers as the boys need their sup
