Rogue River Courier,
Grants Pass, Ore.
Dear Editor:
I have Just received a copy of
your valuable, up-to-date paper,
Rogue River Courier, and after a
pleasant and most delightful per-
usal of its brilliant columns, espec
ially those relative to the "Driving
of the Silver Spike" in the first tie
of the new railroad now In progress, j
the Grants Pass and Rogue River:
railway, beg to confess that your city, '
situated in the fertile valleys of the'
scenic and picturesque Rogue River,
as you say it is, must, indeed, be
a very delightful and beautiful sec
tion of country, and one In which any
one could well afford to content him
self and be happy the remainder of
his terrestrial days. And will sug
gest further, that while Kentucky,
my native state, Is noted for "pretty
women and fast horses," that the
great state of Oregon, had as well be,
noted for possessing a beautiful coun
try and an enterprising people, such
as any great state like that of Ore
gon might well bo proud of. With
all those essential qualities, the state
of Oregon, will Rome day, If not al
ready, heap up a vast amount of
permanent wealth to her credit and
also to that of our great nation.
As I am contemplating a trip to
your city this spring on somo legal
business with which I am connected,
I hope to be able to meet as many
Rood people of the state of Oregon
as possible, and behold the grandeurs
f-f your groat country with my own
ryes.
Wishing in u h success for the
Rogue Klver Courier, as well as the
city of Grants lass and tbe whole
Kinte (if Oregon, I am.
Respectfully,
J. CALVIN DAVIS.

born in Schuyler county, Illinois,
November 5, 1842, being the young

9 years he came to Oregon with his
parents and in 1869 was married to
Miss Alnilna Bumgartner in Benton
county. Six children were born to
this union, all of whom are living;
Mrs. Dimlck also surviving her hus
band. In 1870 Mr. Dimlck located
in Josephine county, where he took
up a homestead of 146 acres one
and a half miles from Grants Pass,
and where he was living and engaged
in dairy business at the time of his
death. Deceased was a faithful mem
ber of the Newman M. E. church and
was a true Christian gentleman, who
held the highest respect of his" fel
low citizens. His death is a sad loss,
not only to his family, but to the
community. The funeral services
will be held at the Newman M. E.
church Monday afternoon, at 2:30,
