Thomas Perry, who has fine farm
on the Williams Greek road, five
miles from Grants Pass was in this
city lats Saturday. Mr.. Perry has
the honor Of being one of the first
subscribers to the Courier, he giving
in his name before tho first copy OF
the paper had been run off. He is
one OF the successful farmers Of Jose
phine county and is strong advo-
cate Of good roads. As an instance OF
the condition OF the roads in his
locality, Mr.. Perry tells that recently
teamster was driving along with a
heavy load of wood when the wheels
dropping into the chuckholes, jerked
the tongue Of the wagon to one side so
violently as to throw one of the horses
off its feet and INTO its back in a deep
mudhole and in such a shape that it
could not regain its feet. The team
ster was unable to extricate his horse
and Mr.. Perry and some of his neigh
bors went to the man assistance and
they had considerable difficulty in
getting the horse loose from the har-
ness and out Of the depths Of the mud.
hole. To prevent the recurrence of
such accidents and to make the road
passable for this winter, Mr. Perry
and several Of his neighbors have
donated considerable labor and have
hauled gravel and filed the worst Of
the mudholes Mr.. Perry does not
favor this patching of the roads and
favors the county undertaking the
work Of constructing highways by
modern methods of road construction.

Ashland Loses Sewer Suit.

Ashland had projected : sewer sys-

OF the cause Of the suit and Of Judge
Hanns's rulings, the Ashland Record
has the following: The plans of the
last six months for an extensive sewer
system that would meet the present
needs Of the entire city of Ashland
were knocked into cooked hat by a
decision handed down in the circuit

The grounds upon which Judge
Hanna found the ordinance void,

First, That the cousoil had failed
TO give due notice aHd therefore had
no Jurisdiction.
Second, That in the making Of the
assessment the ordinance plainly
shows that no discretion or discrimi.

was used.
Third, That the ten per cent penalty
was not authorized by the charter or
statute.
Fourth. That the descriptions are

The mayor and majority of the
city council have based their plans
entirely upon the soundness of the
ordinance drawn by their city attor-
ney and repeatedly refused to recede
from their position, the opinion Of
rival lawyers being considered not
worth while as against that Of the
city's legal advisors. The upsetting
of tho ordinance levying some $43, 900

The city must refund some $4,000
which has been paid in cash on ac-
count Of the assessment which has

this amount is now represented in

which the city has on hand.

lows:
A good-sized audience assembled in
Greenback Hall, G,eonback, Ore.
Tuesday evening, December 18th, to
listen to lecture on Christian
Science by Bioknell Young, O. S. b.
of Chicago.
The speaker was intro luood by
Mrs Clara Wilson Thompson, First
Reader of the society, who said in
part:
"Tho world today is burdened
with sickness aud sorrow, and in
every heart there is a desire for some.
thing higher, better than earth can
give. In answer TO this desire or
prayer, Christian Science has been
given US, which is the Com orter
spoken Of in tha Scriptures that may
abide with us forever Il is our hap
py privilege this evening to have
again one in our midst who comes
with authority and experience to tell
us of Christian Science and of its
royerod leader, the Rev. Mary Baker
G. Eddy"
Mr. Young being introduced, spoke
earnestly aud effectively in behalf Of
Christian Science. The following ex-
tracts from his lecture are given:
Christian Science may be defined
as the science Of all that relates 10
God. and is science not only in rela,
tion to healing, but as corrective in
rotation to all problems Of existence.
Christian Science does not pro.
claim a new God nor a new law, but
comes declaring the same God, and
the Same law that Jesus declared
"The stops Of salvation in Christian
Sciouco are not unusual As in other
denominations they involve the I'D.
mission or conviction of sin, sorrow
for wrong doing or repentance, and
reformation manifested in a corrected
life. Salvation in Christian Science.
however, includes exemption from
sickness, want aud woe, as we'll as
from sin.
1T is erroneous to suppose that
Christian Scientists deny the reality
Of things They affirm the eternal
existence Of all things, and that thoy
