The president has made a ten strike and succeeded In arousing the worst elements of congress to come forward In a tirade of abuse against htm. Senators Foraker end Tillman have become prominent by their abuse of the Chief Executive. These men each In their turn have been shown up as solle' statesmen and have very foolishly tried to turn the current of public opinion away from themselves by making long speeches against the president, who has brought home to them and the whole country their shameful transactions. Tillman was caught by the president in the very act of public land grab bing, and Foraker was shown to have taken while a U. S. senator, a $50,000 fee from the Standard Oil Company. These two men are showing their sores to the pbbllc, Il lustrating the old addage "Rogues who feel the halter draw Have a poor opinion of the law," In the house some few members are trying to get themselves to the front by Imitating Foraker ami Till man, The head and front of the of fending on the part of the president is that he has tried to convict thieves in high places, a task which he has the courage to carry out. The com mon people of the whole country, regardless of party will hold Presi dent Roosevelt in grateful remem brance for the driving of thieves from public office and sending them to prison where they belong. The winter has been; It is true, rather cold and at times very stormy but there have been many good things connected with It. Experts say that the outlook for fruits and field crops was never better. Peo ple have discovered that snow and Ice at long Intervals visit this coun try but these have done no great damage, the good It is claimed over balances the bad. A few fine days this month will make us forget the overabundance of rain and snow. President elect Wm. II. Taft and Mrs. Taft have gone with a party of distinguished civil engineers and newspapermen to Inspect the Isth mian canal. The party sailed from Charleston, 8. C. on Monday. The president elect and some friends were on board the United States cruiser North Carolina and the oth ers aboard tho Montana. The party will return about the inlddlo of February. Secretary of State Hoot has tender ed to President Roosevelt his resigna tion effective upon qualification of his succssor, Robert Bacon whose nomi nation, along with that of J. C. O'lOiiKhlln, to be Assistant Secretary of State, in place of Mr. Dacon has been sent to the senato. Tho watering of the lawns and gardens of Grants Pass by irrigation will be one of the events to place to to the credit of tho year of our Ixrd 1909. U.U.ICK. The Oriole mine Is shipping some very rich ore. It Is said that a por tion of It goes into the thousands. Ed Friday has been doing assess meut work on his claims and Is much pleased with tho outlook. He thinks his property valuable. Hilly Garrett hna returned from his Rum Creek claims, where ho wont to do his assessment work. It is generally believed that he nas sonio good property. NVnh Jones Is trapping for coons. Did ho catch a coouT No, It was a skuuk. 80 now we are feeding Noah on the end of a pole 20 feet long. The Golden Wedge people will soon have their extra stamps In place and will be ready a little later to start the mill in good shape. We've had lots of'trouble with the malls Sometimes we got them from Merlin on horseback and then by boat, and then, again, we did not get them at all, and there would be a miss of several days. This Is ab solute proof that we need a bridge. Dan Green has given an option on his Black Bear group to good parties, and It may amount to a sale. Dan Is the last one of the pioneers of 1850. .You know he was our first sheriff and our first state senator. If this sale goes through it Is believed that he will leave the camp, and If so will be greatly missed. Superintendent E. Crouch, of the Almeda mine, has had a hard time getting home from his last visit to Grants Pass. After waiting a week for the river to go down, he had to cross on a skiff, leaving his team on the north side. He hopes that he will not be forced to leave home again during the rainy season. for workingmcn Levi Straus Cfv 8 Cos Overalls wlectrd dentin the two nor txtad ii Connor Leases Savoy. Walter E.

U. meeting last Fri day was fairly well attended and full of interest. The Mothers' Day program was given after which Mrs. Chiles and Mrs. Curtis, Superintendents of Leg islature, took charge. Mrs. Curtis spoke briefly In substance, as follows: ".Our laws are good and all are en forced except those applying to the liquor traffic. Of course there are violations, but every offender Is sum marily dealt with except the viola tors of the liquor law. Will some of our bright men exlaln why one law breaker Is punished and another goes scott free?" Mrs. Chiles then led In a short Bible reading, the theme being the keeping of the Law Inviolate. Tho L. T. L, convened at 4 o'clock with about twenty children in at tendance. Classes were formed, teachers chosen and a regular course of study taken up. The suprlntendent had provided a treat and at the closo candy was passed to each child present. Let all the children be present next time, Feb ruary Mh and help the Legion to its very best. The W. C. T. U. has Medical Temperance for Its topic, February 5th, with Miss Alice Spauldlng in charge. All friends are welcome at these meetings. We have hinted that these liquor signs disgracing our city ought to come down. Now we say emphatic ally, that If our town Is dry, we so no need of further advertising to the world that the accursed saloon Is In our midst. Why should these lns meet our on the principal streets of our town? If our city Is clean why allow these signs to ro matn longer? As tho train stopped tho other day stranRor alighted and looking across from the depot remarked to a bystander: "I see you have the saloop bore as In so many other places." "Oh. no," was the reply, "our town Is dry." I-et us not tell the passorsby that our town Is cursed bv tho wi. loon by allowing these signs to re main longer.

Hood River pronounced It the rival of them all in real beauty and taste, though this was accounted for, par ilally by the beauty of the stage sur .oundlnga and the additional benefit f the lighting. Then closely follow ing came our victory at the National ,(,le Show at Spokane eleven priz es. There was a wonderful showing of apples from many states, and for ,,ir county to capture that great number of prizes among so many fine apples Is glory enough for one year.
