direct rejection of W. J. Bryan's
leadership, which he has maintained
In Nebraska for the last twenty
years. The fight against the Com'
moner was made by the whiskey In
terests, who favor local option in
each municipality. This shuts out
the vote of the farmer and enables
the whiskey gang to concentrate all
its strength In each of the cities
where saloons are demanded. Mr.
Bryan favors county option as the
best method of dealing with the
liquor question. This permits the
farmers, who, as a rule, are against
whiskey, to carry the county in spite
of the large opposing element in the
city.

FUTURE DEMAND FOR FRUIT.
A short time ago a gentleman
from the middle west who was look
ing over the country chanced to be
In Grants Tass and made a call at
the office of the Courier. In the
courso of conversation he remarked
that it was his opinion that the fruit
business was going to be over done
and os a consequence there would
be a slump in prices and orchards
might be a drug In the market. He
was told that the demand for fruit
was world wide and constantly on the
Increase. Thnt this article of food
waa the most helpful of any that was
offered man. He was further told
that the northwest, and especially
the Rogue River valley furnish the
finest apples, pears and peaches of
any section of the known world and
these things being true, it seemed to
us that there was no probability of
the market being glutted or orchnrds
becoming less valuable than they are
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG.
There N certainly something
wrong in the way tiie government
today. The writer had long been
con hnndlos claims. Here Is an lllustra-
In your roads during the spring and
summer with plenty of dirt; then
heavy wagons passing over that from
May to November will Insure you a
mixture which will be hub deep in
some places during the wet season
and disagreeable for many months.
Josephine county has suffered much
from bad roads and It will continue
td suffer until we elect men as road
builders who have the ability to spend
the taxpayers money in a way that
will insure for us good roads. It has
been claimed by gome that it does
not require an expert to build a good
road, but we have the proof to the
contrary In the expenditure of the
last $40,000 of our taxpayers' money
on our public highways.
TIIE VERMONT STATE ELECTION.
Vermont Is one of the states which
holds Its election In September and
this year political conditions are such
os to center the anxiety of both th
democratic and republican parties in
the politics of that commonwealth.
It will be the first state election of
the year and consequently the results
will be closely analyzed as affording
a test of the relative strength of the
two leading parties In the general
elections to be held early In Novem
ber. The democratic party Is making
strenuous exertions with a view of
cutting down the lead of republican
candidates to congress. The repub
licans on the other hand are doing
their best to keep up their majorities.
At this distance It Is hard to even
guess the resut of this, the first state
election of 1910.

The colored porter, Reynolds, who
was taken to Roseburg last week and
locked up in the county Jail, had a
hearing on Tuesday and was bound
over to the district court. His bond
was fixed at $5000. One of the In
cidents of his examination was the
appearance of a colored lawyer from
Portland, who appeared to defend
him. After hearing the evidence in
the case the attorney stated that he
would withdraw, as he believed Rey
nolds guilty as charged. Mr. and Mrs.
Moss and little Josephine returned
from Roseburg Tuesday evening,
where the little girl testified In a
clear manner as to the negro's con
duct toward her In the pullman car.
The case will come up at the next
term of the circuit court. It appears
that J. K. Sanders, a pullman car
conductor who tried to keep Reynolds
out of the hands of the officers at
Grants Pass at the time he was ar
rested, has so far transgressed the
rules of propriety that his conduct
is being investigated by the Pullman
company.
FORESf FIRES ARE
STILL TROUBLESOME
Fortunately None of the Conflagra
tions Are of Any Great
Magnitude.
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Heltman and
baby left Wednesday evening for
Portland, after visiting with rela
tives in this city. They expected to
remain several weeks longer, but Mr.
Ileitman was summoned by telegram
to attend to pressing business.
During the last few days there
have been forest fires of considerable
magnitude In the vicinity of Merlin
and heavy clouds of smoke have
floated from that locality down to
ward Grants Pass. The particulars
of the fires have not reached this city
except that a force of fire fighters
went out from Merlin Wednesday
evening and were enabled to do good
work. A considerable amount of
timber has been burned and many
miles of fence have been destroyed.
A big fire has been raging for the
last three days at the head of Six
Mile creek and part of the conflagra
tion has been Inside the forest re
serve. Some practical work in head
ing off the fire has been done and it
now looks as If It would be under
control within the next twenty-four
hours. The fire has been in a heavy
timbered section and no little amount
of damage has been done. If news
from the district is not satisfactory
the forest service will send addition
al help.
A fire has been burning on Slate
creek during the last two days and
a considerable stretch of country has
been burned over. The forest service
office here has had a force of fire
fighters on the ground and they have
done fine service and It Is now be
lieved that this fire also is under control.
These numerous fires have filled
this whole section with smoke and
the excessive heat has had consider
able effect in raising the temperature
In this part of the valley. The forest
service Is keeping a sharp lookout
over a large section of country so as
to be In the field promptly should
fires break out.

were driving a livery team and lead

when the animals became frightened
by the auto, which approached from
the rear, and in a remarkably short
time the horses, buggy, mules and
men were rolling around In the dust

and horses pulling the vehicle In
opposite directions. Strange as It
