Both sides suffered seriously. Many

FL AG CONTEST CLOSES
May IS 10 the Lost Day for Vot
Ing Coupons.

The flag contest has been the all alb
sorbing topic of interest with many o
our people and the excitement bid
fair to continue until the close of tn,
contest. No more coupons are to b,
given out at the stores and all nov
out must be deposited in the boxes no
later than Monday night, May 10
after which the final count will b,
taken and the disposition of the fial
made. At times there has seemed tC
be the possibility of general all
round scrap and the Courier proprie.
tor is made to occupy the center of the
circle with eagles soaring in the all
and school children on the ground
floor pranoing about with sharp sticks
pointed our way, and all because we
refuse to take the matter out of the
hands Of 10 OF the Grants Pass reliable
and solid business firms and decide a
question on our own responsibility.
Yes, even the threat of diverting
trade from the Courier has been re-
sorted to on the part of one faction
while an already existing boycott on
the part of the other faction is hover
Ing over us. Thus combination Of
circumstances was formed which
prompted the Herald to come out
with a grand-stand play and a doubtful
home run in sight, with probably
other bases to be heard from. In a
carefully written article made up of a
shrewd selection of words, we are by
inference. placed ON stool and lab.
eled the chief fool, and they try to
convey the impression that through a
possible loss of subscriber or an ad.
vertiser. we are afraid to open our
mouth. In making such a statement
there is no danger of the Herald los
ing any business, but imagine, II you
can, the Herald substituting the name
of Geo. S. Calhoun Co, Thomas g.
O'Neill. II. G. Boblien, X. o. Nc.
Croskey or any Of the other merchants
who are interested in the contest.
The facts in the case are these: The
Courier publisher sold advertising
space in which to give the contest
publicity, one Of the terms of the con.
test being that the paper should pub
lish weekly the count of the ballots
and announce the winners at the end
OF the contest. In order that the count
might be made In time to appear in
the weekly issues, the Courier pro.
prietor was instructed to hire some
one to count the votes. From this
fact there seems to have grown the in.
preston that the Courier was engi.
neering the whole affair. When later
on it was reported that the Eagles had
been voting coupons that had not been
issued by Grants Pass merchants the
trouble began and when We refused TO
throw ont the ballots in question with
out bringing the matter before the
other merchants who are interested,
the trouble did not cease.
The Courier has confidence in their
ability aud their intention to settle
the matter right.
