VALUE OF OUR EXCURSIONS.
As will lie seen by our special from
Holland the delegation of 42 inenv
bets of the Commercial Club were
cordially received at all places along
the line to that point. Our good
friend in the rich country visited
are entitled to the thanks of the
Grants Pass Commercial Club for
their many acts of courtesy shown
their delegates on the trip.
It Is safe to say that this excur
sion will bear good fruit, not only
for the county seat but for the conn
try vhlted. If Josephine county Is to
become u power In bringing within
its borders capital for Investment and
men of enterprise to do the necessary
development work, .the city and the
country must unite to bring this
about. So many things are needed In
carrying on a campaign for the bet
terment of our general interests that
it has become necessary to drop nil
personnl ambition and work for the
good of the great majority.
We need good roads and bridges
and this must be done at the expense
of the taxpayers; therefore, we must
have more lands cleared, more farms
and settlers to occupy them, bo that
taxation may be kept at the minim
um. Josephine county stands In need
of a thousand families to take up
with us the burdens Incident to the
development of this county. That
number of people will bring in their
train new rnllronds, many new farms,
orchards, vineyards, also the open
ing of rich and productive mines.
If wo will work in harmony all of
these things will come to us in the
very near future.
The development of the resources
of Josephine county will benefit all
clnsses but none more than tho men
who own the farms. The value of
their holdings will be largely In
creased if new families to any con
siderable number locate In the rural
districts, and for this renson nil
owners of land should unlto with
the men who represent the mercan
tile Interests In mnklng known to tho
world that this Is tho land of oppor
tunity for those In search of homes
and investments. Our. rich lands
which are being placed rapidly under
Irrigation and our beautiful climate
tell the story which will bring us the
desirable class so much needed if we
will but make tho facts known to the
large army of homeseekerB who are
constantly Invading tho rnclfio.
Coast. If the excursion to Gnllce and
the Illinois vnlley help to tiring about
united action then they will bo of In
estimable value to our particular
part of Southern Oregon.
A PICTTRE 01 IlKAl'TY.
There nre points of beauty around
Grants Pass that are discovered by
Visitors which nre seemingly never
noticed bv the person who resides
here. This class nre apparently un
mindful of the truly wonderful
mountain scenery which fairly sur
rounds the spot whereon the city of
Grants I'ass Is built. There Is hill
and dale, mountain and vale, and
deep gorges along the Ito-no River
to which only the great artists can
do Justice, Then there Is tho small
valleys along the numerous torrents
w hich converge- near here to make up
the greater river that has given to
the valley Its name and the locality
Its fame.
Place yourself In any location In
the city you may, nnd gaze In any
direction yon will and you behold a
mountain clothed In e vergreen or dif
ferent shndes, which makes a picture

so beautiful that be who is born with
a love of nature in his soul is fair
ly entranced. Change your position
and you see another mountain and
another beautiful picture and so on
until all the points of the compass
have been covered. All Is beautiful
except the names of some of the
streams, the work of a class of sacri
legious Individuals who marred God's
own handiwork by such names as
Louse creek, Jump-Off-Joe and
others along the same lines. It Is
to the credit of the last legislature
that steps have been taken to wipe
off the map of the state the last re
minder of that class who blighted the
country by the names they left be
hind them.
INDICATION'S MEAN GOOD TIMES.
It is a singular fact that good crops
and good times always come to
gether under a Republican adminis
tration. The best crops for many
years are being gathered Just now.
The crop report has much to do with
all classes of people and therefore
the government report will he ex
amined with great Interest by those
who ere wishing for good times
which always come when farmers
have bumper crops.
The government crop report for
July makes very pleasant reading
for the country. Reduced Into plain
terms It Indicates a yield of 3,161,
000,000 bushels of corn, CC3.000.000
bushels of wheat, 983,000,000 bush
els of oats, 32,000,000 bushels of rye,
and 181,000,000 bushels of barley.
Except. In the single Item of wheat
this Is a lead over 1908, and the fall
ing off in wheat Is only 1,000,000
bushels. Save In 1902 and 1906. the
oats crop promises to break all re
cords. I?ar1ey Is far ahead of the
biggest, crop of the past.
With the tariff soon to be placed
upon tho statute hook, and with
crops assured which will be much
above any harvested In the past, the
outlook for an early return of pros
perity ought to ho bright enough to
please the most pessimistic,
Till? FARMER AND MERCHANT.
It will ho seen that R. O. Scott
takes up the subject In this issue of
the Courier of the treatment of the
country people by the town and deals
with It In a very conservative man
ner. The Courier has no part in this
controversy except to say that Mr.
Lucke, whose letter appeared last
week is In error regarding farmers
being required to take out a license
to Bell their products In town. Even
those who Bell meat at retail nre not
required to have a license. It Is now
In order to hear from some of our
merchants. Had it not been for the
pilgrimage of this class to the Illinois
valley this week there would have
been an answer to the charges of Mr.
Lucke from a merchant's standpoint
In this Issue. It Is to be hoped that
the result of this correspondence will
he a better understanding between
the farmer and the business men of
the town. Mr. Scott, It strikes us,
makes a good suggestion when ho
says that the farmers should belong
to the Commercial Club. The facts
are thnt the Interest of both farmer
nnd merchant are Identical. This
will bo clearly seen by any ono who
will Btudy the subject.
A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.
It has been suggested that the new
steel bridge he protected against the
nuisance of bill posting. The old
ono has fur many years been disfig
ured by that enterprising individual
who has a horse, a cow, or something
else to sell or has a desire to buy
country produce. The county board
will have (he matter In charge and It
Is Its duly to Issue an edict of "Post
No Mills."

A Wonderful Invent inn.
M11. h Interest Is In dun mnnlfe.-.tcd
In the demonstrations given at the
Russell confectionery and Ice cream
purlers this week. The llurllng.i'ue
Telegraphing typewriter Is the in
strument of Interest Just now. This
consists of two ordinary typewriters
with electrical attachments, one on
either side of tho room nnd the mes
sage written on one typewriter Is ':
produced on die other, This Is ac
complished by nn electrical apparatus
of recent Invention which It Is claim
ed will do away with the Morse
sender, all thnt Is necessary being
the new typewriter attached to the
wires, nnd anyone who ran use a
typewriter can send the message with
a slmlllnr receiver at the other end.
Sam Jacobl Is manager of the work
here with Geo. Clarke n demon
strator and three salesmen to sell
stock In the Instrument, The gentle
men are very courteous and many
people are being shown the merits of
the Burllngnmo Telegraphing Type
writer. The demonstrations will
close Saturday.
SOCIAL EVENTS
j The foot of Tokay Heights was
the scene of a merry gathering last
' Friday evening In the form of a plc
nic given by the Y. P. S. C. E. of the
Presbyterian church. The event was
' greatly enjoyed by the young people.
j Miss Helen Lister celebrated her
fifth annual anniversary at her par
ents' home In the Hotel Josephine
annex, on Tuesday afternoon. About
j 3 5 little guests were present to do
honor to the occasion and from 3 to
6 o'clock the little folks enjoyed
themselves in a manner highly satis
factory to themselves and most grati
fying to all who saw them. The
party was held on the beautiful,
shady lawn at the Lister home and
the dainty refreshments of ice cream
and cake were served by Mrs. Lister
to the little ones while they were
seated in a circle on the grass. Little
Miss Lister proved herself a very
pleasing hostess and received many
beautiful gifts from her little guests,
and she, as well as thy will always
remember with delight the jolly good
time enjoyed on Tuesday afternoon".
Sport Presley Entertains.
A most unique little party was
held at the Presley home on Second
and B streets on Saturday afternoon,
probably the only one of the kind
ever held in this city. This party
was given by Grace, the 8-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Pres-
ley, In honor of her dog, Sport, on
his second birthday. Grace Invited
several of the neighbor dogs to par
ticipate in the celebration of Sport's
birthday, and went! with a carriage
to bring them over, the eanlncsJTor
tunate enough to receive an invita
tion being treated in a royal man
ner. On arrival at the Presley home
the doggies were welcomed by joy-
fill barks from Sport and the after-
noon was pleasantly spent and re -
freshments of buns and beefsteak
were served, after which a picture
was taken of the assembled guests.
Late in the afternoon the visitors
were taken to their several homes,
having enjoyed the event to the ut
most, and wishing Sport many happy
returns of the day.
Misses Maude and Dessle Cole and
Miss Pauline Coe entertained about
30 of their friends Wednesday even
ing In a juvenile party at the R. L.
Coe home. Tho Invited guests were
requested to appear In costumes re
presenting their childhood days and
some of them responded In a manner
which left no doubt In the minds of
the assembled guests that those days
were still - fresh In their memory.
Among Borne of the childish guests
were two young Buster Browns, most
closely resembling that young gentle
man in dress and antics, while one
young lady came laden with Teddy
Bears enough to supply the whole
company, had she been so minded,
but which she kept closely clasped in
her arms, refusing to share her
treasures with anybody. There were
young ladles In short dresses with
their hair down In curls nnd braids,
and young men in knlckerbock?rs.
The whole scene closely resembling
a childish gathering, and with dolls
and marbles the evening was merri
ly spent. In one part of the room,
little Florence Riddle, In the guise of
a fairy, served punch and animal
cookies to the "little ones." Later In
the evening Ice cream nnd cake were
served. This was one of the very
enjoyable parlies of the season and
all Join In the opinion that it Is -ood '
to go back to the childhood days or- i
caslonally to see how much we r. al- j
ly enjoyed ourselves when we were ;

Xcw Base Ball Ordinance.
The city council at its last meeting
passed an ordinance which levies a
tax of $75' on every game of base
hall where admission Is charged.
This will result in few professional
games and no games on Sunday. The
ordinance was passed by a vote of
six to one. Councilman Myers, when
the ordinance was brought up, said
that the matter was a complete sur
prise to him and unless it was
changed materially he would be
obliged to vote against it' and did so
when the roll was called. This ordin
ance was the result of trouble which
grew out of the Fourth of July cele
