It Is a mutual benefit organization and all farmers should be members of the order. Chas. Cougle and F. A. Topping each have a fine field of corn and sugar cane. Crops on Williams creek, also all kinds of fruit, give promise of being exceptionally good. Strawberries are plentiful and cheap. W. J. Ttussell and daughter, Miss Audrey, passed through our valley May 22. Farmers nre haying In earnest. The hay crop Is much better than In 1909. There will be an open session of the grange nt the public hall on the 4th of June. Come everybody with well filled baskets and hnve a good time.

A livery horse from the Burkhalter stables at Grants Pass, and driven by Mrs. Mattlson and Miss Sorg, of that city, accompanied by Mr. KItterman, of the Mountain Lion mine, became frightened and unmanageable when part way down the grade, overturn ing the buggy and Its occupants down the hill side Into the Irrigating ditch, wnlch was full of water. Mrs. Mat tlson received two broken ribs and other slight bruises. Miss Sorg got a fright and a soaking, while Mr. Klt terman's portion was a soaking and a fright. The buggy! Well there was nothing left of It, while the horse got off without a scratch. The Missouri Flat baseball team went down In defeat last Sunday at the hands of the Applegate team with a score of 5 to 11. Cheer up, boys.

Hnyes hns been on the sick list for several days. She Is Improving nt this writing we are glad to learn. The farmers are nearly all busy ' now-n-days taking care of a bountl- ful hny crop. From present Indica tions the prW of hny will not soar quite sa high as It did last winter. It's funny how many people have business to nttend to In town on cir cus day. Mr. ITerriott. the Williams stage driver, states that he met no fewer than f!0 odd rigs, all hound for Orants Pass, on that day. Another sale of real estate took place In our vicinity last week. J. L. Williams sold his fine farm to Dr. Loughrldge, the purchnse price be ing $5500. We have not learned where Mr. Williams Intends locat ing. It seems as though the Frultdale people want the enrth, with a barbed wire fence nround It, from the way thpy kftpP territory. When they enme over within two miles of Murphy nnd claimed the Blnnchard place ns South Frultdale we never snld a word, even though It Is In Murphy school district. Now they have gone over the divide east nnd Iny elnlm to the old Gentner place ns being East Frultdale. WTiy did they not go a mile or so further east nnd claim Redlnnds vlneynrd, or extend their lines a mile or so north nnd claim Grnnts Pass ns North Frult dale.

Scio CondensedjjMilk COMPANY OUR COAST DEFENSE PRONOUNCED USELESS Congressman James McLnchlun, of California, Thinks Situation Dangerous. On Thursday of last week Repre sentative James McLachlan made a speech in the house In which he told the representatives that the weakness of our military defense Is known to all the world. Tt was a sensible talk, void of flourish or sensation, and it created a profound Impression on the members who heard It, and In naval and military circles. The speech was made In support of a re solution which the congressman In troduced and which calls upon the secretary of war for a report on the state of the military forces. McLachlan disclaimed any predi lection toward militarism. He de clared that he had awaited a time when all the world was at peace to present his resolution In order that no friendly power might be offended. Thnt the entire system of coast de fense, Installed during the past two decades at a cost of $100,000,000, Is absolutely useless for want of mobile land forces to defend It from land attacks was one of McLaehlan's startling statements. In case of war with Japan, he said, the Pacific Coast slates would be Invaded and occupied by Asiatic soldiery who could be "dislodged only by a dis honorable and humiliating pence." "For an Invading army to pnss the Golden Gate nnd land In San Frnn- clsco Is doubtless Ininosslble," the speaker snld, "but for It to land at Monterey or In Bollnns Bay and to take San Francisco from the renr Is not only feasible, but for an- "ower possessing the ships nnd the p'i pre sents no difficulties. A landing ef fected nt either place, the fall r f San Francisco would be Inevitable. I mny ro o far ns to sny thnt every Important city, every defended har bor In this country could be rap tured without a single cun now In stalled being afforded opportunity to fire a hostile shot. T do not n'i"tlon the wisdom of the Installation of const defenses, but T question sor'-vs,. lv tho wisdom of Installing them without ndoqunte preparation for their defopso from the renr nnd be fore n mobile force sufficient to dis courage the thonchtt of Invasion Is created. We have for Its sl-o the most rrnonilvp mllltarv establish mcnt In the world. In proportion to expenditures we have the lensf rf flclcnf. The fault lies tint In Its per sound, but In Its organization. Boating and EMiIng Advm. No opportunity should be lost by the people of Orants Pnss to ndver tlso tho boating and fishing privileges to be t-njoyed on the Rosue river nt this point. No other city in South cm Oregon has opportunities of this kind equal to those to be found here. A banker 0f Medford who visited this city sometime aeo and enjoyed the boating, remarked before leav ing thnt if Medford had n stream with all the advantages possessed by Rogue river at Grants Tnss they would mnke it worth a million do! 1ur to them. The question Is, do we f iliy appreciate the crowning benefit we possess n the beautiful Rogue river. OLD Hampshire Bond letterhea,l and envelopes at thf Courier office. Club Milk GREATsrPROSPERITY AMONG MANUFACTURERS Fifteenth Annual Meeting of the National Organization Held in New York. The loading manufactories of tho United States declare that the Ameri can nation Is In tho midst of prosper ity such as was never known In thi3 country before. The 15th annual convention of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers took place In New York city on Monday of last week. There were 1000 members present and from first to last there was much enthusiasm over the com mercial prosperity of the country. Leading manufacturers In their speeches voiced the sentiment of tha large gathering as follows: John KIrby, Jr., president of the National Association, Is convinced that "rarely hns the country been in a better condition. It must be let alone for a time, however. We must have a few years In which to recover from 1907." C. C. Hanch, treasurer of the Nor dyke & Marmon company, of Indian apolis, Is not only convinced that the prosperity of the country Is solidly established by this time, but Is also convinced that the high prices of the necessaries of life are firmly fixed. "I see no renson to think that tho cost of living will ever he much lower than It Is now," said Mr. Hanch. "There are too many causes that have operated to bring about th present conditions. Back of It all the careful lnvestlgntor Is likely to find overcapitalization as the prime cause." "We are right In the midst of a season of actual and assured prosper ity, In my opinion, and we have no cause to regret the 'excessive pros perity' of three years ago," said How ard Heinz, son of H. J. Ilelnz, found er of the great preserving plant In Pittsburg. "I have followed condi tions closely," Bald Mr. Heinz, "and my conclusion, based upon the re ports of 500 salesmen, covering the entire country, Is that there Is nofh Inn sectional or restricted In tho present development of prosperity. While there may he apparent shifts nnd changes, It will be found that, considered for a period of six months, the average will hold about the same for the entire country." David M. Parry, of Indianapolis, formerly president of the association. Is convinced deserters from the farms nre beRlnnlng to return. "The lure of the city for the farm-born Is grow ing weaker every day and the call of the farm Is growing stronger," said Mr. Parry. "Time was when the boy lorn on the farm had every renson to want to get away to the city. Now, however, things are chnnglng." H. E. Miles, of Racine, Wis., of the Rhrlne-Snttely company, tho larg est manufacturers' of agricultural Implements outside the trust nnd a member of the executive committee of the association, was filled with en thusiasm over the rapid development of his section of the country during the last few years. "Not only Is there prosperity In our eetloi,," said Mr. Miles, "but It hn become n thing so familiar with ns thnt wp no longer talk about It as you folks In the east do. We aro now supplying the west from the west with nearly everything she needs The east apparently has fall d to realize Just what we are doing In the wcBt."
