(By Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr.) 1 ' nipt measures so prevalent in me 'past should join in defeating even candidate who seeks or accepts an assembly endorsement. By such de termined action efforts to revive po- j was devised by would-be political I bosses, who thoroughly canvassed 'the state, enlisted the aid of former j political leaders wherever assist- anre could be secured, and by con stant agitation and persistent urging I Induced a few persons In many pre cincts to designate delegates to the Ka,,'s 1,p n,a,n,ainoa', an1 il ls n0" inrlnnn that In mnnv Inst.inees the j number of voters present was less : than the number of delegates chosen, ithiis demonstrating that the assem blies thus composed can not be rep resentative of public opinion, i Political bosses are attempting to force Oregon republicans to accept dictation from an undesired assem bly made up of delegates chosen by a relatively shall number of voters. In other words, a coterie of would-be political doctors have de clared the people of Oregon to be suffering from Ills purely imaginary, and have employed themselves to j prescribe a remedy. They also as sume the right to mix the dose and expect the people to swallow It 'without a grimace. loiter they will expect the people to pay the bill In tho form of legislation for special in terests and distribution of political awards. Unless I mistake the tern r an(, ,n.lligence of the people of Oregon, the dose will be refused, the prescription will bo declined and there will bo no bill to pay. Plan Indirect A Mark. Ijicklng the courage to make n direct assault upon the progressive laws which have been enacted In Oregon, self-constituted leaders have planned an Indirect and covert attack, by which means they hope to be successful. Their pretension of allegiance to the direct primary law Is but the kiss which precedes trayal of their master, the people of j Oregon. j In an attempt to fortify their posi tion they quote Governor Hughes of New York ns favoring an assem bly prior to the direct primary In that state, but they hnve not the ! honesty to submit to the people of Oregon under the initiative the Oregon' nuest Ion whether the people desire the Oregon law amended by restor ing the convention system. They are not wilting to trust the Intelli gence of the people even In this. The Issue presented Is not one of personalities, but of principles. Doubtless the guiding spirits of the assembly movement In the hopes of .reinstating themselves in power have tried to select ns candidates men who are as free as possible from objection on personal grounds. To HeveUc Pi-ople. Thev thus hope In accomplish a double purpose, secure the assist ance of Influential cltl-ens and de ceive ii' people r.enerallv as to their ultimate objects But the principle j at taUe Is of vastly more Import-: ance than the personal Interests of an Individual The Issue Involves, Hie rklit of the members of a party to se'eet their candidates without! dictation fioin a party boss who Is w'.r.iu.', to spend time ;ilil money no, 'ess. in to build up a machine or c.aul, ;' Ion It I . fruit le-.s for ad vocal es of t he a I s of Ian to a-Kert th it thei mtcrUon to restore Mv iN r,.i 1 1 1 l s II. al Where. inai Mm it ko bv lea M,, .V,. pa ! 1 .1.'

Those who have In recent years made their homes among us have observed the operations of the 'systen" in other states and are familiar with its results. Return to that system in Oregon means repeti tion of the disgraceful scenes which were exhibited in elections and in legislation prior to her popular gov ernment demonstration. In an effort to conceal their self ish purpose, the leaders of the as sembly movement pretend to be deeply concerned over alleged dis ruption of the republican party. They assume anxiety for the unifi cation of the party. They Ignore what tverybody knows to be the fact that party disruptions grew out of the methods of convention managers and that some of the men who now plead so earnestly for par ty loyalty and harmony have been responsible for party defeat. Supremacy of principles Is of more importance than supremacy of party, and he is an enemy of the party who leads it into abandon ment of the fundamental principles of popular government. Loval observance of the spirit of the direct primary law and subordin ation of selfish Interests to the wel fare of the state will do more than anything else to unify and strength en the partv. The assembly Is des ignated to nullify the primary law. Success of Hie movement will be followed by attack upon the Initia tive and referendum and other pro gressive laws. Because this is but the first step in the general attack, and because it is wrong in principle, I assert that every man who has accepted an assembly nomination, either expressly or by acquiescence, should be defeated either In the pri maries or at the general election. The people of Oregon are again on trial. Will they be betrayed into returning to the former days of legislative and administrative spe cial privilege auctions? Are they stupid and Ignorant animals, incap able of self-government, or are they the most intelligent people in the world, as demonstrated by their pop ular government laws which they now enjoy, but which the nssembly ites evidently wish to deprive them of? Success or failure of the as sembly movement will furnish the answer. New Ojera House Management. The announcement is made that our townsman, Thomas Fuson, takes the management of the Grants Pnss opera house on 1he first of Septem ber and will open the season with tho Mlkndo on the second. The com pany presenting this popular musical comedy is one of the best on the road and It will give Grants Pass" citizens an opportunity to witness a fine production. Mr. Fuson had charge of I he opera house In Ashland for six years and his superior management brought to be-jp '" a lge nnmher of flrst class companies. He will do the same thing for Grnnts Pass and our people can rest nssured that the drama will become popular under his management, for he will give ns some of the very best plays on the road. Grants Pass will show Its ap preciation of Mr. Fuson's manage ment. This city has had one trouble with Its productions In the opera house, and that Is the plays have not been tloronuhly advertised. Under the new management we are assured that this wilt be remedied, as all good plavs will be made Known bv the most aproved methods of ad vertising How This?

I iH,l !.' Ill :' snl'iis'tinn sit T-ESSITL EXPERIMENT BY WYOMING WIZMU' Professor Biiffum Breeds New Vari ties of Grain and Forage. Wyoming has the honor of claim ing among its citizens one who equals If he does not excel the renowned Burbank of California. The latter gentleman discovered a method of breeding new varieties of fruits, flowers and vegetables. The Wyora- Ine man has taken a broader field and has produced new varieties of grains much superior to anything existing before. His first experiment was with the seed known as Black Russian emmer, a winter grain re sembling barley which Is known as one of the best stock foods grown In this country and Is particularly adapted to semi-arid conditions. Af' ter four years experimenting, Prof. Buffum has produced a grain of much higher quality and greater vleld than the original. He has nian carried on experiments with wheat with the same success. He has succeeded In taking the heard off this latter grain and has In creased the production per acre three or four fold. His experiments with alfalfa are equally wonderful as he has succeeded In evolving a forage plant that grows nine feet high and of much greater tonnage. Tie Is now experimenting with the clover family and he hopes to breed a variety which will be in great de mand all over the country. Prof. Buffum has been quietly at work during the past four years In making experiments, all of which he has kept to himself until success has crowned his efforts. His experiments with small grain and forage plants will be of great benefit to the agri cultural world In general. The pro fessor is still a young man. not yet having passed the prime of life, con sequently much can be expected from him during the next, few years. He has in the past rendered valuable service to the agricultural college of Colorado and the agricultural experi ment, station connected with the Wy oming state university. Four or five years ago he, with associates, found ed an experiment farm In the Big Horn basin In Wyoming. This farm was Intended to supply seed of su perior quality and the experiments have been successful. Economy Fnilt Jar Caps at the Rogue River Hdwe. Co.'s. 6-24-tf A Fine Farm on the Applegnte. A representative of the Courier was fortunate enough a few days ago to become the guest of R. L. Coe at his Applegate ranch, seven miles from this city. This ranch Is one of the finest properties on the Applegate and it contains 161 ncres, 110 acres of which are under Irrigation. Eigh ty acres of this farm consists of bot tom land and the balance table land, and the entire tract is on a southwest slope and Is consequently suited to fruit cultivation. The water for Ir rigation is supplied from what Is known as the New Hope ditch. The ranch has on it a fine crop of alfal fa, corn, potatoes, apples and pears. The head farmer Is George A. Bar den, a brother of Mrs. Coe. He has had large experience In fanning, but this Is his first experience in irriga tion. He thinks with another year the work will come easier for him; but his crop this year Is far from a failure. A visit to this place will convince anyone that Irrigation Is of the utmost Importance in this coun try. M S M1 K KH)M;vs lou't Mistake Hi,, fans,, of lour Troubles.

Why my last summer's suit will do But wlfle must have one that's new. I wonder why when home I seek At one, the stairs so loudly creak. Why skeeters round my mug will play When there's a "peach" two steps away. Why when an outing I have planned It always rain3 to beat the band.

Congressman Victor Murdock, of Kansas, one of the leading Insur gents of the house, has made a study of postal affairs for a great many vears. He says that the house postal savings bank bill was a good meas ure. In the senate, Insurgents like Cummins, La Follette, Bristow and others, said that It was a bad bill, and :hey voted against the house proposition. Naturally the question arises f.s to who had the proper Idea of postal legislation. Courier and Better Fruit $2. Nursery Stock Get my prices before or dering nursery stock.
