Dealers persist In practicing It, not because it brings them any particular benefit, but merely be cause they are accustomed to it. "From the point of view of the cit izen and the traveler, billboards are an unqualified nulaance. What they need is not so much regulation as abatement. It would be a pity for the city to form the habit of drawing re veu no from them, since a financial argument for retaining them would thus arise, which might prolong their undesirable existence. In the moat progressive cities of the country, the definite purpose in taxing billboards la to cause them to disappear."

The houorablu county commission era wIiohu duty it la to name an of ficial paper were good enough laHt Saturday to bestow upon the Courier tbli high honor. Of course, the coninilBHloucm very properly were particular to require a sworn state ment as to the circulation of the paper In the county. This affidavit was filed by the publisher of the Courier uud tho price allowed by law being the same as the Courier's re gular chargo, the cotnmlHsloiiois on ly had to Insert the name of the pa per, Hut at this point all sweet ness and goodness disappeared from tho official action. They were like that meun old cow whose conduct ha become a proverb. She gave a wlmmlng pall of in I Ik and then kicked It over. Tho commissioners conferred tho honor on the paper and men cut tno piico from the five cents allowed by tho statutes to two cents, ft reduction of CO per cent "below tho legal rate. Tho Courier could not ccept less than five cents a line, the regular price It has been charging business houses of this city for the lame service for the past 12 years; though, If the commissioners think It our duty to serve tho county by mak ing a discount of sixty per cent from Our regular prices, we will agree to do so, providing tho members of the board will meet us half way by mak ing a like discount for their services during tho year 1910. lint, gentle men, don't haggle about small mat tars. UNSIGHTLY ADVERTISING!. Tho bill board nuisance In tho Cities and tho defacing of scenery by unsightly advertising signs In the country Is Just now attracting atten tion throughout the entire United Btates, There Is certainly no adver tising which pays as little as this par ticular kind and we notice that n largo majority of tho shrewdest ad vertisers have long ago quit this atyle of representing themselves to tha public. In some rural localities farmers have banded themselves to gether and resolved not to patronise any mcmmtllo establishment that Uios tho face of nature for advertis ing purposes. This subject U up for discussion In Portland Just now, and an ordinance Is before the city coun cil to regulate these matters. Edi torially tho Dy Oregonlan refers to tho subject mi follows; "While (ho billboard ordinance, In troduccd by Councilman Ellis, might not do everything toward ridding Tort hind of tho nuisance which now defaces tho city, R might do some thing. It might prove to bo tho be Ilnnlng of better things. Millboards are of doubtful utility M advertising agendo. Comparatively few ,.,,,,. notice what U printed upon them and those who do are more ttwut likely to bo disgusted.

Some of the big churches In great cltleB are run on broad business lines and It has been demonstrated that It tttkeB not only a large mem bership and a largo congregation to support a church. When the crowds no longer attend a place of worship the finances run low and the bur den becomes heavy on tho faithful. To restore conditions of prosperity, newspaper advertising Is resorted to In many of our cities. A Saturday evening and Sunday morning paper tolls of tho Intellectual fenst which will bo served nt certain v churches and tho people naturally are attract ed, especially visiting church mem hers and these quite often become at tached to tho church. The news paper has become tho great engine of civilization and thoso churches who do not use them must of neces slty fall behind In tho race. A dispatch from Chicago reports as follows: "Hustlo and advertising pay In business, and I don't see why they should not help out In enlarging church membership results show It, anyway." So said St. Lawrence Chaldler, member of the South Park Methodist church, whoso advertise ment for "lonely Christians wanted at our church," appeared In yester day morning s papers. Forty-five lonely applicants communicated with Mr. Chaldler during tho day. A few admitted curiosity at the unusual ad vertisement, but tuoU (f them show ed real Interest. FIRST DUTIES OF THE YEAR. We as a community have opened the volume of the new year and have commenced to write the history ot 11)10 as we are making It from day to day. If we mar tho clean pages with transactions unworthy of us ns a people, tho result must be a mel ancholy one. Therefore, as progres sive citizens of Grants Pass we must build here a city worthy of tho 10th new year of tho twentieth century. Commencing at the foundation, which of necessity must bo our thor oughfares, let us pave them with lasting material. We cannot afford to longer spend good money to fill In the streets with dirt which will be turned to mud when tho next rain comes, but rather let us lay tho hard surface pavements which will last for many years, paying heed to that old and wise saying, "Tho best Is the cheapest In tho long run." Next to paving comes tho high school. This must be built during the coming summer so as to have It for use when the school season ar rives In th, autumn. This Is a work of tho highest Importance, as It con cerns the rising generation, which U to take our places In tho near future v- every possible menus let ua ruake education popular at home, so as to avoid the necessity of patronizing the reform Institutions of t1(1 Mate. Give v. m l ov nn, i-iri a good education and there will be little chance of ''clr cuing wrong, It has boot dutifully said that 'knowledge Is pow i " and that a vlituou and cn IkMcticd people can m-U'r be tn-s!:icd. Bhot ter man of the two, putting a through McGulre's shoulder. This shooting affair, followed bo closely in the wake of the Crump case, has created widespread excite ment In this city and county, and both cases are being watched closely for any new developments. Jose phine county Is making a record in the criminal line unparalleled In all her preceding history. The McGuire case will probably come to trial in the next term of court, but in the Crump case there Is no evidence to warrant an arrcat, and whoever did toe shooting Is apparently safe for the time being at least.

In nny event, it Is believed that ('rump knows far moro than he eareu to tell, and that if there is a woman In tho rase ho Intends to shield her from public knowledge. It may bo that In lila present condition, with a bullet In his bend, he Is not ac countable for nil hia statements, but the fact that he has retained con sciousness from the first goes far to disprove this theory, Harvey Crump has nlways been considered by thoso acquainted with him us a young man of good charac ter and Industrious habits.
