people of the county TO have a first
class telephone service at reasonable
cost the Pacific States Telephone &
Telegraph Company are arranging to
greatly improve the service in Grants
Pass. 1t is expected to spend fully
$4,000 in installing what is known as
the central energy system. With this
system there is but two telephones on
u line and there is no bell to be rung
to call central. The Company will in
crease their central station so that it
can handle thousand or more tele-
phones and thus readily handle the
large business that will come with the
growth OF Grants Pass and the in
stallation of rural lines throughout
the country. Their present quarters
in the First National Bank building
will be too small for the Company q
use and the Bank Company will
probably erect this Summer brick
building Immediately back of the
Bank block on ground now occupied
by their wood house. This building
will be 26x7O feet and Will be entirely
used by the Pacific States Company.
the front part for central station and
offices and the rear for storage room.
With these intended improvements
that are to be made by the Pacific
States Telephone Company and with
the completion of the four big rural
telephone systems that will cover all
the territory tributary to Grants Pass
this city will have by far the best
telephone system Of any city In Ore
gon, Portland not excepted.
Subjoined is given in full the con-
stitution and by laws of the Apple.

This constitution has been carefully
prepared and embodies the best features
of the constitutions of a number of
independent telephone companies and
strictly conforms to the laws of Ore
gon. 1t fully safeguards every in
terest of the members and fully

Pacific States Telephone q Tele-
graph Co. to Cooperate With
Local Co. in this Service.

The movement undertaken some
time ago by the Rogue River Courier
to secure complete system of tele-
phones for Josephine county has met
with such hearty support from the
farmers, miners and the stockmen of
the rural districts and OF the business
men of Grants Pass and the other
towns that it is now certain that be-
fore the close of this year that every
section Of the county will be in tele.
phonic connection with the county
seat And what is more Josephine
county will enjoy the highly credit
able distinction of being the first
county in Oregon to have complete
system of telephone lines reaching
every part of the county over which
there will be free switching for every
subscriber. This is the terms of the
contract made by the Pacific States
Telephone & Telegraph Company
with the Applegate Valley Telephone
SOuDduy, tudt dll IuIdl liutS sudll
have free switching on the Grants
Pass system and also these rural lines
will be connected through the central
Office in Grants Pass so that they will
have free switching one with another.
This fine system will enable Grants
Pass business man to talk with his
customers in any part of the county
and Williams Valley stockman to
talk with an Illinois Valley stock
man, and Galice miner to call up
miner at Greenback. Granite Hill or
Takilma. The Grants Pass High
Sohool, which is free to every boy and
girl in the county, has many students
from other districts. These boys and
girls will be more contented and
more able to do good work h school If
after studies hours they can call up
the home folks and have little visit.
But the farmers will! be the ones to
secure the greatest beneht from 'hese
rural lines for it will save them many
trips to town and to their neighbors
and it will enable them to know what
the state of the market is and to make
a sale before he is at the expense of
taking load of IrJ Jduce to town.

system of telephones for the entire
county will be of great advantage to
every farm community, mining dis
trict and town in the county it will
] be of very great value to the citizens
OF Grants Pass, for it will make this
city the center of one of the largest
telephone systems in Oregon and add
most important factor in building it
up to be the commercial metropolis OF
Southern Oregon. There Is every
reason to expect that within the near
future that with the free switching
and other favorable terms given by
the Pacific States Telephone Company
that there will be 1000 telephones on
these rural lines centering in Grants
Pass. The Pacific States Company
will profit quite as much by this CO.
operation scheme as will the independ-
ent companies, for it will add fully
$500 month to its telephone rentals,
and it's lopg distance business, now
very small from the outlying dis.
tricts of the county, will be developed
so that 1t will yield very large reve-
nue.. 1t will also make certain that
no rival company will enter this field
to compete for Grants Pass or jose
phine county business and this Com
pany will not have the hard fight to
hold its territory as 1t is having in
Salem, Portland and dozens of other
towns on the Pacific Coast, where the
Automatic Telephone Company has
entered the field. With the reason
able rental for telephones aud free
switching for all rural lines that
enter Grants Pass, the farmers will
not be disposed to take up a strictly
independent service, nor will the bust
ness men of Grants Pass encourage a
new company to enter this field to
necessitate them each to have two
telephones.
Iu order to lessen the expense and to
insure better service only four in
dependent companies will be organized
to cover the territory tributary to
Grants Pass. The Applegate Valley
and all territory south of Rogue river
from Grants Pass will be handled by
the Applegate Valley Telephone Com
pany, now organized. All the terri
tory west and north of Grants Pass
embracing Lee district, Galice and
down Rogue river to Mule Greek dis

HOW TO WIN VOTES.
By Oliver w. Stewart.

1t would be far better to say some
good thing of mans party IMAM 10
begin by telling him that his party
is rum-soaked and a reasonable or
SANITATION. He will not believe these
latter things if you say them and you
will get credit simply for being mis-
guided enthusiast who is wholly I'M
practical and always abusive.
Call his attention to the fact tnat
citizenship involves great responslDlil-
ties. Remind him that any man who
shirks those responsibilities is an un-
worthy citizen. Point out that 1t IS
the dlty of every citizen to be thor
oughly we'll informed about all pollt'.
cal parties. Remind him that the
record shows on the face of it that
since the saloon is almost every where
a legaliz-d and law-protectad instit"
ton, the diminant parties from whom
VIC have had every line OF Legislation
during the last fifty years must De re-
sronsible and that he in turn becomes
responsible if he votes their ticket.
Insist kindly that the Prohibition
party is practical movement against
the saloon. That we are trying TO
do two things One is to get the sa-
lon outlawed, and in prepare Ion for
that We are trying to get the issue be-
fore The American people. If possible
make HIM see that million Jr prob
ably even half million of us, by vot-
ing the Prohibition ticket, would inn
mediately bring this question to the
| ii ont ia AneI lean politics.
Do not assail his candidates. Do
not charge one with being coward
or another with being incompetent, for
probably neither of those things is
true. Tawe the affirmative position
on the other side, and show him that
our candidates are brave, courageous
men, able business men who are in
every way worthy the high honor for
which they would stand. Ask him II
he does not feel that it would be bet
ter to vote for these men who stand
for what he believes than to vote for
other men who represent parties
whose legislation is against his con.
viction.

STOPPED TOO SOON.

Discussing the attempt of w. E.
Corey of the Steel trust to secure a
divorce from his wife, the Outlook
says:
1.-THE foundation of civilization is the
sacredness of the family. Whoever at
tacks that is guilty of the greatest posi-
BILE crime against society. The Church
and the State might both be destroyed,
and if homes were left pure, out Of them
a new. Church and a new, State would
arise; but if the purity and permanence
of our homes were destroyed. Church and
State would fall into irretrievable ruin,
and society would relapse into a condition
worse than barbarism. He who assails
the permanence of the family is the worst
type Of anarchist"
Regard that utterance in the legal
light of what you know about the sa-
loon and it's influence on the home
and remember that DR.. Lyman Abbott
the distinguished editor of the Out
look, doesn't favor the prohibition OF
the traffic!

PATHFINDERS FIND THE PATH.

In response to our request for "some-
thing for the readers of The Public
Veal, Prof. W. J. Arnold, manager of

he is nearly dead" from their strenu-
GUS campaign. Nevertheless he sends

"The Quartette has indeed proven a

Many men. who have been indifferent,
many absolutely inimical, have stopped to
listen to the songs, then remained for

position of the Prohibition party. We
are in our rig from early morn till late

SIGNS OF CHEER.

"There are some very hopeful signs
developing in this campaign" writes
sledge-hammer Jas. H. Woertendyke
from the field
among them is the respectful and even
cordial hearing accorded to the argu-
ments of our cause by voters In general.
Scores of men have crowded into our
meetings-es open air meetings.
and remained to the close and many have
announced themselves ready to support
our party ticket All classes of men are
coming our way.
Another thing is the readiness OF the
people for straight Party Prohibition. NO
non-partisan cooperation is desired Dy
the people when they get aroused to see
that the Prohibitionists are doing things.
"The people are learning, too, that we
are not a Sunday-schoOl adjunct, but a
political party. They farther see that If
the liquor traffic is ever handled by the
government, the policy of the government
must be changed, and that we cannot
change the policy of the government atus so
whose policy is that of protection and
license to the liquor traffic. The only
way to change the government is to raise
up a party in opposition to the present
policy of the government.
Merely the election of good men by
the old parties will never change the stu
alton, for good men elected as old party

YES, PROHIBITION DOES PRO-
HIBIT.

On Monday, September 18th, for the
first time in many years, the police
court was empty in Kansas City, Kan,
city of $4,000 people which is now
saloonless and jointless. Before Asst.
Attorney General Trickett began to
enforce the law there were from ten
to thirty arrests day. He has closed
more than 200 joints and driven many
of the law breakers out of the city.
Some impossible things are being
proven possible these days.
A significant development OF the
last few days, from a Prohibition
viewpoint, is the fact that the Repub-
lican and Democratic machines are
talking of combining their forces
against the law enforcement element
in the special city election which must
soon take place.
