Wil liam Jennings Bryan will not be a candidate for the United States senate from Nebraska. He has made this assertion and followed It with the Information that he will move to Texas and enter politics in that state. He evidently Is a little bitter over his Nebraska experience and will have nothing more to do with a state which refuses to continue to support bim for the office of president. per line; FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1909. FRUIT EXCHANGE SHIPPING PEARS Apples, Pouches and Tomatoes Are firing Shipped to Portland Markets. WHEN WTC'LL OFT" tJVfcrt IT?. While the Courier Is opposed to tVif term secession yet It Is In full sympathy with the Medford Tribune In the sentiments It ex presses below. "Most Southern Oregon papers favor the new state propaganda. They'll get over It. Oregon Journal. "Yes, they'll get over it, when "The short-sighted rule and blight of the Willamette Valley inossback Bnd the Salem hog Is at an end. "Southern Oregon Is no longer hampered In Its efforts towards pro gress and development. "The restrictions of an obsolete constitution are done away with. "The opposition that defeats every bit. of development is relegated to the past. "Southern Oregon has some re presentation nt the national capital. "A few other things are done that .will aid Southern Oregon In Its de velopment instead of invoking the aid of the courts, when all else falls, to slop a worthy movement.' The Courier rises In Its place to nmend the first specification. "Wil lamette Valley most-back" is good, but the "Siilem hog" I hardly eu phonic. We move to substitute Salem ra.orbni k ; That Is the meanest kind of a hog. The Wood Kiver Times of Halley Idaho, came out with a special edi tion of 3 2 pages on the 4th of this month. Every page Is a creuu to uie enterprise of the publisher and It must result In great benefit to Halley, Main county and Idaho gen erally. The business men of the city did themselves credit in the patron age they gave this special edition. The Irrigation Convention goes to Pueblo next year and It promises to be one of the largest gatherings of the kind ever assembled. Pueblo Is the center of a large Irrigated country and the delegates will have an object lesson In scentlfic agricul ture In every direction. DEVELOPING OI'K MINES. It will be noticed lu the columns of the Courier this week that mining Interests generally In Josephine county are prosperous and that per manent development work Is going forward on a large scale. The busi ness houses of Grunts Pass are to n large extent Interested In the de velopment of our mines. Well post ed mining men tell us that notwith standing the fact that many millions of dollars in gold have been taken out of the mines of this county that In reality the ground has merely been scratched. This is undoubtedly n fair statement of conditions and It naturally follows that the future has great things In store for the mines of this section. When the day comes that even a few of the new discov eries becomo paying producers, Grants Pass should he In a position to profit by the extra business of these new mines and this can be brought about If we keep In touch with the men who Invest their money in developing theso properties. The Courier Is giving space to the mineral Interest of the whole county and will In the future, as In the past, do what It can to help along this Important development work. We have received a copy of the Vlneland Independent which Is cer tainly u relic of rather a remote period, as It Is a full fledged, old line ami out stylo populist news paper. The editor says with that lisue he punches the time card at three score years and thinks he Is good for another ten years fighting the battles of the populists. This almost antediluvian sheet talks about the good greenback money of Lincoln and still denounces the rascals who manage the banking ystem. The Valley Record brought out fine special number on August 4, nd It contains u vast amount of use (ill Information which means much for Ashland prosperity. The work cn this special number Is good. There re many fine engravings and the press work on these Is excellent. This Is the kind of enterprise that 9 1 m m i " i i m hi i MWUMUimni'ill'IIUIHIIH J' H ii tf-ki'VI 3 mm I. 1 I 1 K .1 .

They asked that the nuisance he abated and also that the main street crossing have gates for the protection of the people. The fruit Interests of Grants Pass are being cared for by the Fruit Ex change In a manner which gives sat Isfactlon to growers. It is very evi dent that the exchange Is doing good service to not only the fruit men but the truck gardeners of this part of the county. It has certainly proven mat u pays lu uu mmiuc. through this organization. One gets a pretty good insight Into the fruit business by looking through the packing and shipping rooms of the exchange. Manager Seovlll nas ueen up to his eyes In work for the last week or more, the fruit shipping sea son having arrived. Rartlett pears were in evidence and last Saturday a carload of very fine ones were shipped, having been sold f. o. b. here at $150.

It is quite clear to all ob servers that peaches grown In this vicinity are quite superior to those which come from other places and consequently they bring better prices Next year there will bo a number of peach orchards planted on land that can be Irrigated and tlm. result will be that we will have better tree growth than can be had on dry up land without water.
