POMONA GRANGE PROMISES
GOOD WORK.
The officers and members of the
Pomona Grange are starting In to do
things In an up-to-date manner. They
know the situation In regard to the
necessity of a market for tho pro
ducts of tho farm and are determined 1
to find a remedy for existing evils, 1
and by the time another harvest I
comes around arrangements will have
been completed to secure nn outlet
for the crops grown on tho farms In
Josephine county.
When the railroad to Crescent
City Is built that will give ns accsg
to the cities of Paget sound and
Alaska, but the railroad cannot be
completed In tlmo for next year's
crop therefore tho wise men of. the
grange have resolved to provide for
1913.
The grange can be made one of
the most powerful organizations In
the Btnte as It Is founded on the '-
operation of the people and they rnn
be depended on at all times when
they have tho right kind of lenders.
Tho Pomona grange of Josephine
county Is showing every evidence of
future usefulness by working along
practical linen and much good will
follow If this plan Is continued.
CATTI.K Kl'HTMiUS.
It si'ciiiK rather remarkable that i
right in the outskirts of Portland cat-!
tie rustlers are gettlug iu their work. ;
Had this occurred some twenty-live
years ago It would not have been so '
surprising, but at this day it Is cer- '
talnly out of place. The ofllclals of
Multnomah county will find It neces
sary to clean up the gang. Uy tho
way there are other counties In the
state where cattle rustling Is prae
tlced to even a larger extent than in
Multnomah, the stock raisers of Jose
phine county have lost a large num
ber of cattle within the last twelve
mouths.
If tho Btockgrowers of south"-u
1
Oregon have proper protection t
cattlo Industry will become nn iui-1
portant business In this part of t'. e I
Btt.te. Cnttlo growers will do well to j
bnnd together so ns to protect their
holdings and tn tho event of theft
prompt legal action phould be taken.

Ing month after month and being put

It is said that there conies a time
when patience tenses to be a virtue
and this was the case with the pen-
pie of this city when the many
promises of the Southern Pacific
came to naught; they then resolved
to build a road of their own and
they have joined with their neigh-
mis on the toast and the line will

GOOD WORK MY COM.MKUCI A!,
CLUB.
The Monday night meeting ot the
commercial dub was in every re-
spect worthy of the organization,
.Matters of the highest importance
were discussed and acted upon with
unanimity. These meetings have
been highly interesting for some time
ami the members can be sahl to be
enthusiastic for everything that
builds up either Grants Pass or Jose-
phine county. The commercial club
is certainly standing by the town
and It is only right for us all ,0
stand by it. There were between i!0
and 70 members out Monday night
and every one to a man was not only
in favor of building the railroad but
voting the bonds. It was the genor-
al opinion that here was the oppor-
tunity to benefit the city and that
every loyal resident rf Grants Pass
phould vote nnd work for the bond

MUNICIPAL BOND ISSUES.
The bonding of municipalities tor
public improvements is 110 new thing.
The directors of the Pacific-Interior
railway point out elsewhere in the
Courier today that Cincinnati many
years ago voted $ JL'.Ouo.uoo 0f bonds
for the (oustrintion of a railroad,
and that the venture was a highly
profitable ,me. The case of Grants
Pass i- a parallel one with that of
the Ohio tity. except that there is lit
tle liMihood that this ti'y win c,m
tinu.d in tho railroad business, as it
;s more than probable that capital
will bo ready t,. take the proposiuon
over before it has even been place,! tn
operation. But should it not be tak
en over
t will prove a profitable
.lertaking. and either leased or
ated. it 1 an be made to pay di blends
upon the capitalization.
It is not the intention of the local
company to spread the $20O,0i'O
realized from the bond issue over the
entire course of the road to the sea.

FAKM EXPERT IS NEEDED.
The farmer of all now countries Is
met with two great problems. The
first of these is the growing of his
produce, and the second Is its mar
keting The commercial club can well
afford to expend its energy along the
line of solving these questions, for"
upon the prosperity of the producer
depends in a large measure the pros
perity of the ((immunity. Three out
of four of those who come into the
Rogue valley to locate tire amateurs
in farming. With no guidance they
'make errors that are expensive and
discouraging, whereas had they been
wisely directed in crops and In meth
ods they would have met with un
qualified success.
The best investment that can be;anuual nlet,till., of tlle stockholders
made at this time would be in the en-' of the Joseph no County Rank will
