Sarah Teresa Mccormick.

Sister of Mrs. Margaret Barr of
this city and Mrs. Michael Barr Of
this county, died at the home of Mrs.
Mary Mccormick at Early, Iowa,
Feb. "a, 1906 at the age Of rs years.
She was born in BAHAMA, Ireland,
Feb. Z 1880, where she was raised
having been in constant attendance
for II years at the bedside Of an in
valid mother, after which she came
to America and for few years made
her home with her sisters near Man
chester, going to EARLY, Iowa, some
% years. ago, having lived since that
time with her, brother, John McCor-
mick, who preceded her in death
about one and one-half years.
Although she never married and
never owned home Of her own,
her life has been one of usefulness
and her duties to her God and her
neighbor were careful considera-
ton with her. She enjoyed a bright
spiritual life placing her trust in
God at all times and never more so
than during her last weeks of severe
suffering with cancer Of the stomach,
her last words being words of love
for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Gods words whenh he said Consider
the lilies Of the field how they grow,
they reap not neither do they spin,
yet Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like these were we'll illus
trated in her life. Shenever laid by
for herself and gave no thought to
dress or riches, yet at the time of her
illness she was tenderly and well
cared for and all was done that mon
ey and kind loving hands could do
to make her comfortable. Having
lived the true life she did here, we
have reason to feel she has left this
life to enter into the mansion pre-
pared for those who have loved ane
served the Lord in this life, there tc
receive the crown and rewards du'
those who live and lead the unseltisf
life of love and duty to their neigh

APPLEGATE FARMER
TALKS GOOD ROADS
Endorses Plan to Shorten and
Better Their Roads to
Grants Pass.

G. W. winetrout was caller at the
Courier Office Tuesday. Mr.. Wine.
trout resides on Thompson creek two
miles above Applegate postoffics
where he has large farm and is en-
gagged in raising hay and cattle. He
stated that grass was fine aud that
stock we're doing we'll but that the
heavy rains Of late were making it
difficult to save the first crop of al.
falfs.
In regard to the plan proposed by Il.
N. Provolt, candidate for county com.
missioner, to straighten and improve
the road from Grants Pass to Murphy,
Provolt, Williams and Missouri Flat.
Mr.. Winetrout stated that the set
tiers of Thompson creek and of Ap-
plegate Valley in the vicinity of
Applegate postoffice were very much
in favor Of this road improvement.
BY this plan the road would be short
ened fully two miles and the grade
would be greatly improved it being
SO reduced as to not exceed three per
cent in any one place. From Apple
gate postoffice, where the road down
Thompson creek intersects the main
county road, it is an even distance to
Giants Pass and to Medford. it being
20 miles to either place. The farmers
market their produce and trade in
both towns hut prefer Grants Pass a.
they are able to realize better prices
for their produce than ut Msdford.
With the round trip shortened by four
miles from the Josephine county
boundary to Grants Pass and the road
put on almost . level and no heavy
hill to pull over as from Medford
across the divide to Applegate Valley,
the farmers FROM Thompson creek and
the middle section Of Applegate VAL
ley would al come to Grants Pass to
do their trading and sell their pro-
duce. Thompson creek heads in
Josephine county and Mr.. Winetrout
states that most Of the settlers live In
this county and they have to come to
Grants Pass once year or oftener to
attend court and to pay their taxes and
as their county interests are with
Grants Pass they would do all their
trading here II they were afforded q
shorter and better road than to Med
ford.

l have read over the preceding ar
ticle, shown me by Judge Booth. ]
remember clearly that one bill which
was put into the county in my name,
while was in DR.. Kremer's employ.
was cut in two in the middle by the
court. 1 also remember that l dis
cussed with Judge Booth, that fact,
and insisted that it should have been
allowed. My recollection is that
caused the bills at DR.. Kremer's, re-
ferred to in Judge Booths article, to
be prepared by our bookkeeper and
then sent them to be presented to the
court, which was done. Subject tc
these notifications, I believe Judge
Booths article fairly states the facts
in the premises, as clearly as can
now remember them. d. p LOVE.

prepared for the struggle of life. Mr..
Gilkey laid special stress on the work
ing value of an education and expressed
the hope that parents would more fully
realize the need of at least thorough
common school education for their
children and would keep them at their
studies until they had completed the
high school course.
For the school year of, 1906-7 the ex-
pectation is that the Grants Pass High
School will have the largest enroll
ment in its history, for there has been
an unusually large eighth grade class
graduated from the schools of this city
and from the schools of the county. 1t
is expected that fully 60 pupils will en-
ter the high school for the next term
as there are 2S eighth grade graduates
from the Grants Pass schools and IL
who passed in the recent examination
except in one or two studies and these
they will take at the June .examina-
tion. There will be fully as many
graduates from the other schools of the
county as from this city.
The following are the scholars of the
Grants Pass schools who passed the
eighth grade the recent examination:
Roy Cheshire, Clifford Dean, James
DeLameter, Geo. Fay, Enrol Gilkey.
Lionel Gordon. Henry Newell, Dale

The rerort of City Superintendent
Turner showed that the enrolment for
this term had been 962, for last year
s93 a gain of 50. Average daily attend
ance 81 for this term and for last term
5S, a gain of 81. Cases of hardness
for this term 159 aud for last term 204.
a decrease of 40 for this year, good
showing as the enrolment was much
larger than for last year.

FIRST CREAMERY IN
JOSEPHINE COUNTY
Loca ted In Illinois Valley and Is
a Fine Plant-Begins Op.
erntions Juno IS.

The industrial development Of jose
phine county is coming on apace and
one after another of the causes that
drain the county of cash, sent away
for products that could be produced
here, is stopped. The first -four mill
in the county was put in operation two
months since in Grants Pass is turn
ing out high grade of flour and is
building up a satisfactory business,
but could do better if the housewives
OF Josephine county would give their
preference when ordering -four to the
brands made by the Grants Pass
mills, provided the quality aud the
price are equal to that of the imported
-four.
Butter is another article the impor-
tation Of which takes thousands of
dollars each year out of Josephine
county to the financial loss of the
county. but this drain on the wealth
OF the community is certain at no dis
tant date to cease. AS a result of the
farmers institutes held in Josephine
county by DIR. Withycombe and his
staff from the State Agricultural Col.
lege, in which the farmers were told
of the steady and profitable income to
be had from dairy ing. that industry ia
being taken up quite extensively in
various sections Of this county.
Large quantities of cream are now
being shipped from Grants Pass and
Merlin to Medford and Portland
creameries, while large quantities of
butter is made by farmers who do not
ship cream. A creamery will be
quite certain to be erected at Provolt
this year and within the near future
there will be creameries at Merlin and
Wilderville. There may though be
built at Grants Pass, where the mar
ket would be for the butter and the
buttermilk. one big creamery that
would handle the cream from all sec
tions Of the central and northern parts
Of the county.
The southern part Of the county now
has creamery in course of construc

Beef Cattle in the South.

Farmers of the west and north
west understand how impossible
it is for a farm to grow a single
crop successfully for a long term
of years. There must be rota
ton of crops, and certain a.
mount of fertilization. The soil
conditions of the south are SINH
lar to those of the north and
west, In some localities like the
Yazoo Mississippi Valley, the
lands are so fertile that for sew
eral years they will produce
large crops of cotton and corn
without fertilization. But even
these lands would be more pro-
ductive under systematic rota-
ton OF crops and a liberal use of
barnyard manure. We have for
years insisted that stock growing
in Mississippi and Louisiana
should and would in the near
future. become a profitable in
dustry. The following excellent
article from the pen of Prof. r.
r. Lloyd, professor of agriculture
at The Mississippi Agricultural
and Mechanical College will be
read with interest. The time is
near at hand when farming in
Mississippi and Louisiana will be
done as it is in Indiana, Illinois,
and Iowa, except that the two
southern states will have the
advantage in this. that they can
grow in addition to all that is
grown in the north, Cotton, one
of the most profitable of all our
staple crops. With Mississippi
and Louisiana growing stock,
cotton, corn, oats, alfalfa, all
kinds of fruits and vegetables,
homeseekers should visit these
states aud study their resources
and possibilities before deciding
where they will permanently
locate. For southern printed
matter address the Undersigned
at Manchester, Iowa.
