Larry Manuel, secretary of the Grants
Pass and Josephine County Chamber fof Commerce,
has started on a campaign to sell Josephine County
to her own citizens, and it is a good idea.
At the last meeting of the chamber, he called at­
tention to the grapes at each plate, and stated that
if the people of Josephine county would insist on
Josephine county grapes they would not have to ship
any of the product, for the harvest was light, and by
selling the grapes to home people, they would become
acquainted with a superior product and help home
industry at the same time.
It was shown that these grapes were of sweeter
content than those shipped in and tastier and looked
much better, so it was not a hard job for him to sell
the chamber members the idea.
This should be carried out in the Illinois Valley.
Our products are just as good as those shipped in,
and they taste better and look better, so why should
we not use them, when we get a better article and
help home industry both in the same breath? The
stores in the valley should cooperate with the grape
growers and carry only Josephine county grapes, es­
pecially in the variety that is grown here.

It’s a good tonic for what ails us, and it works to each
others advantage. You buy my products and I’ll buy
yours. Try this propaganda as we suggest in “Meet­

works.

( AVE JUNCTION STREETS
All the streets in Cave Junction are dedicated to
the county as the city is unincorporated, and it was
necessary to have a custodian over these arteries, so
the county had to be the goat.
Cave .Junction is handicapped because we only
have two streets. The main Redwood highway and
the Oregon Caves highway. We have other streets
platted, but they are absolutely impassible and they
need attention.
This city is in need of many residences, but no one
wants to build out in the wilderness where they can
not get to their homes with a car, so there is no build­
ing.
If the county court will spend just a little money
on the back streets of the city so people can get to
their homes with a ear, there will be several new res­
idences built, and they will all pay taxes to help pay
the cost of the county government It seems to us a
