LABOR DAY IN GRANTS PASS.


Labor Day was most appropriately
and auspiciously observed in Grants
Pass. The day as observed here
was the only event Of its kind, Grants
Pass has ever known. A great crowd
of people We're present from all parts
of the country and county. The day
was u perfect one in every respect.
The stores and business houses were
closed from $3.50 in the morning
till 4 O'Clock in the afternoon. The
saloons closed their doors during the
forenoon and the factories and mills
of the city shut down for the day.
The celebration Of Labor Day here
was under the auspices of the Grants
Pass Federated Trades Union, and the
great success met is a striking proof
of the interest the people Of Josephine
county have in the labor movement.
1t gave an opportunity for the
Labor Union here to show their
strength and they did it in manner
most creditable to themselves and
labor in general
Tho days program began with n
parade Of the Federated Trades Union.
u. @. Hale was marshal of tho day
aud proved an experienced man in the
work of handling recruits. There
were several hundred men in line,
carrying banners and flags, bearing
the inscription "Unitod we stand.
divided we fall D." Led by the Grants
Pass band-tho boys looking neat
and natty in bright white coats and
caps the limo of march passed down
Sixth street to Front, down Front
to Gilbert creek, and turning about
marched back to Sixth, and down
Sixth to Bicycle Grove
Immediately following the parade
the crowds assembled at the grove
for the entertainment of the morning.
Fresh green boughs had been placed
over the arbor and the grove was
moro comfortable in this respect than
it has been for some time past. After
music by tho band. Marshal of the
Day Hale introduced Father G.. ID.
Doyle who delivered a stirring ad-
dress The theme cf his speech was
n warning to laboring men against
socialism and political doctors who
are attempting to usurp the laurels
that rightfully belong to the laboring
men, regardless Of party or faith.
Attorney Robt G.. Smith followed
Ia an address Of one hour and half.
His address was burst Of oloquenco
from beginning to end aud his treat
ment and prcsentment Of tho labor
question was concise and complete.
The manner in which lac cxpounded
the principals Of organized labor
brought frequent applause from the
audience
During the noon hour a sumptuous
basket dinner was spread in the
grove, with free sandwiches, lemonade
aud melons After the multitude had
been fed there We're many loayes left.
The crowd was entertained from
/ until ? O'Clock by races of various
sorts at the baseball grounds Then
followed the entertainment Of the
afternoon at the grove, a crowd almost
as large as the one Of the morning be-
ing assembled. Addresses were made
by Rev. Chas Hays of the Presby-
torian church, Dr. Robt Leslie Of the
Baptist church, Dennis II. Stovall,
and Robt. G.. Smith, All in all the
day was most successful ono and
it is probable that the celebration OF
Labor Day win be permanent
feature in the future Of Grants Pass.

A Minister'S Mistake.

A city minister was recently handed a
notice 70 be read from his pulpit. Ae-
compsnying II was a clipping from a
newspaper bearing upon the matter.
The clergyman started to read the eK-
tract and found that 1t began "Take
Kemp's Balsam, the best Cough Cure. f"
This was hardly what he had expected
and, after a moments hesitation, he
turned it over, and found on the other
side the matter intended for the reading.

CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
The editor of the Courier has been
wrongly accused of many things, but
the latest in this regard has cropped
out through Editor Bliton of the Med
ford Mail. The following article pub
lished in last weeks Mail is proof
positive that Editor Bliton saw
crooked or was dreaming;
"a. Il. VOORHEES,, publisher of the
Grants Pass Courier, was in Medford
Tuesday. He is u great novelty fell
low and his latest notion is "a motor
bicycle, one Of which he has pur.
chased and which he rode to Medford
on Tuesday at the rate of twenty
miles an hOur-until his tire went
to pieces, near Central Point, aud he
pushed the machine to Medford-at
a four mile pace-for repairs. ~
In justice to the editor of the
Courier, we wish it to be known that
he never owned n motor bicycle.
The person meant in the above was
probably f. w. Chausse, who owns
one and was seen to disappear in a
cloud of dust, going in the direction
of Medford one day last week
