In the high school there are present
three grades, the 18th grade having
been added last year
Soon after school started tins year
the students of the high school orga-
nized into a student body called the
Athenian Literary Society, the pur-
pose of which was to give entertain
uents of a literary nature and also TO
give the students experience in par
liamentary usage. The society held
meetings and gave entertainments
every two weeks. A Boys Glee Club,
a Girls Glee Club and a double quar-
tette were also formed for the purpose
of assisting in the society's programs.
The entertainments of the society fur
nished some of the most enjoyable
features of our school life The de-
bates were particularly interesting
and were always warmly contested.
A number of good impromptu speakers
were discovered and developed during
the year. Altogether the society has
been a great benefit to the high schoo
students
In athletics the school boys KEEP
we'll up to the standard Of formel
years. 1t may be that the boys thii
year were not as able a lot as those o
two or three years ago and the reasol
is that they are nearly all new men
while until last year the boys who
led in athletics had been i'll the leaC
for several years and the school los
nearly all of them last year. Blu
the records of this years school boy
are good as any. The school foot bal
team defeated the factory team ant
the school base ball team won from ,
team of clerks.
There were no commencement eXer
cises this year, the graduating clas
being composed entirely of student
who had already been graduated iron
this school. 1t is quite likely tina
there will be another grade added t.
the high school coure next year, il
which case all the class expect to at
tend school another year.

THE ELECTION.

Mondays election was one which
staggered the prophets. Josephine
county is credited with having
heavy independent vote, but the way
in which the party tickets were cut
and slashed ON Monday is a puzzle TO
the politicians The election was
quiet one, with very little excite
ment manifest, though lively work
was being done by the various candi-
dates 1t was the result that was SEN
sationaL In the county offices, hon
ors were nearly even between the par
ties, but the glory Of the conflict Is
undoubtedly with the democrats, as
Josephine was supposed to be a safely
republican county. The democrats
elect the county judge, commissioner,
treasurer, and surveyor, all with am
pie majorities. The republicans elect
representative, clerk, sheriff and as
SCISSOR, the first named three Of these
with very slight majorities On state
offices, the county went republican l2j
votes, but it is a noteworthy fact that
no republican county candidate, with
one exception, carried the vote of his
party. Fallin, for assessor, received
good majority, but his opposition
was divided between Hathaway and
Reynolds. Straight" tickets were
few and far between. Many candi-
dates on both sides, but more particu-
larly on the republican side, were
freely knitted" by their political
brethren. The democrats made re-
markably vigorous campaign and
failed by only few votes of sweep
ing almost the entire field in the
county. They have the credit, though
not all the results, of victory.
Though the returns are still incom-
plete, all signs point to the election
of Chamberlain for governor. With
this exception, the state is republi-
can. Tongue and Williamson, con
gressmen, are elected by good major
tiles. Bean, for supreme judge, if
elected; Dunbar, secretary of state
Moore, state treasurer; Alderman,
superintendent of public instruction
Crawford, attorney general; Whitney,
state printer. Geo. II. Williams il
elected mayor of Portland.
In Grants Pass, election night was
quiet, the noise and hilarity which
usually prevails on such occasions be-
ing conspicuously absent.
The successful candidates are as
follows:
Representative-W. @. Hale.
County judge. o. Booth.
Commissioner-C +. Lovelace.
Sheriff-Geo. W. Lewis.
County Clerk-R. l.. Bartlett.
Treasurer. T. Taylor.
Assessor-W. II. Fallin.

Coroner-W. +. Kremer.

majorities, but no figures are obtain
able from outside precincts. Th'
swine proposition is in doubt.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Last week closed the school year of
1902 and completed the 10th year
of the Grants Pass high school The
patrons of the school may be interest
ed in review of the work accom-
plished during the past year.
The board of education, Messrs r.
Thomas, T. p Cramer and j. A. Slo-
yer are noteworthy examples of public
spirited business men. Each is act
lively engaged in business in Grants
Pass, but each takes time from their
other cares to devote to the manage
ment of the schools, and il must be
admitted that the affairs of the
Grants Pass district have never been
better cared for.
The growth of Grants Pass is well
shown by the increase in the num-
Der of children attending the schools
Last year it was found necessary to
add another teacher to the force, and
this permitted the addition Of another
grade in the high school Notwith-
standing this extra expense, the board
has, by careful management, been able
to make many improvements about
the school buildings Some of these
are sewer connections, kalSomining
the walls and ceilings of the rooms
and halls and putting in a number of
new desks, At the present time car
penters and masons are at work taking
down the porches and putting cement
steps on the inside of the building.
The pupils too have tax EN- an in
terest in the work of school improve
ment. Under direction of their
teachers the students have successfully
carried ON several projects. Among
themselves they raised a subscription
and purchased set of 60 volumes Of
histories of the Nations Of the World
\ piano has been purchased with
funds solicited from the business men
by the students, and Si2 80 is on hand
for the purchase of books for the
school library. On Arbor Day each
grade planted a tree ON the school
grounds, hoping in this way to make
them much more attractive than they
are at present.
AS educational institutions, our
schools have progressed as much as
they have prospered in other lines

4 FALSE IMPRESSION

In the article headed "SMnderous
Stories, " appearing in the last issue
of the Courier the ommission Of a
name gives the impression that Mir.
Williams, the republican candidate
for county judge, is the man refer
red to. This is not the case. MIR.
Williams is not the man referred to.
He IS man far above such things,

Furnish is possibly defeated, but
let it not be interpreted as II "re-
buke" to Roosevelt. Roosevelt is
popular on the Pacific coast in de-
gree that few presidents have enjoy
ed. The election of Chamberlain
is no rebuko to him. 1t simply ex-
pres ,es the choice Of the man Chamber.
lain and the man Furnish. Furnish
may be an able man and might per-
haps have made good governor, but
he has no public record; the people
have no assurance of his abilities
or his fitness for the Office. Oregon is
u republican state and, all things else
being equal, would probably have
elected n republican governor. The
election may be interpreted as a re-
buke to the republicans for putting up
u man like Furnish, whom the peo-
pie do not know. In some places, u
place on the ticket will carry almost
any man successfully through an cleo
tion, but such is not the case in Ore
gon. The people will not bestow
the highest Office in the state on any
man unless he has shown some in
dication at least Of his ability to fill
1t. Politicians may ascribe the de-
feat of Furnish to the influence of
Simon, Geer or Lowell, but the real
reason is that the people preferred
Chamberlain to Furnish. We ven
ture to say that the next republican
candidate for governor will be one
who carries some weight individually.
