GRANTS PASS THE
BIG STAGE LINE CENTER
More Stages Than Any Other
Oregon Town = Many Are
Concord Type.

While the day of the stage coach
with its romance and its hardships to
the travelling public is rapidly pass
ing on the Pacific Coast. yet Grants
Pass remains an important stage
center, and 1t is probable that more
stages arrive and depart each day than
from any other town in Oregon over
the three lines that terminate here.
The stages operated out from Grants
Pass are of the best, most Of them
being the famous Concord, type which
is used altogether on the line to Cres.
cent City. The Granite Hill line has
very easy riding coaches. The WILL
iams- ApplegAte line has come ont
with new stage that is both nobby
and we'll adapted to the large traffic
that is had in that route. The new
stage was put In commission Monday
and its white canvass top and yellow
running gears make quite color
contrast. Ed Herriott, the owner
aud the driver ON this route is giving
first class service and is building or
a fine business. With July LIST new
schedule went into effect ON this route
and now the stage lays over night IN
Williams instead Of Grants Pass.
The stage now leaves Williams each
morning and arrives in Grants Pasl
by i a. IN. and leaves on the return
to Williams at 2 p. III

COPPER MINE INVESTORS
VISIT GRANTS PASS
Blue Ledge Bein6 Thoroughly De-
veloped and a Smelter IL Ger
tain to Be Erected.

DR.. j. f. Reddy and Fred Perry.
the well known mining men of Med
ford and Jacksonville arrived in
Grants Pass Monday evening to meet
a promiennt Spokane mining man.
Thursday morning the three left by
private conveyance for Crescent City
on copper mine deal, that if con-
sumated will mean much to Southern
Oregon.
DR.. Reddy stated to Courier repre-
sentative that development work was
being pushed on the Blue Ledge cop
per claims by Superintendent Car
nahan with force of 100 men. Both
tuuneliug and drilling is being car.
ried on, large compressor and
power drills being used in the former
work and q diamond drill In the lat
ter. The most thorough work ever
done in Southern Oregon is being
done on the Blue Ledge claims and
when this development is done a very
comprehensive idea will be had of the
extent and value of the ore body.
There is every reason to believe, so
DR.. Reddy states, that the New York
company now owning the Blue Ledge
will erect a smelter on that property
within the next year. So we'll is the
mine showing up that it is quite
probable that the company will begin
this Fall ON the construction of
railroad to Blue Ledge on which to
take in the smelter plant and to afford
transportation for the matte and coke.
AS to whether the road would go in
from Jacksonville or 60 up the Apple.
gate from Grants Pass. Each route
has advantages and the road will
likely be built from the town Offering
the best advantages and Inducements.
The Opp mine, in which DR.. Reddy
and Mr.. Perry were owners at the
time it was equipped with 10.stamp
electic power mill is now running
steadily and the New York people,
who now own 1t are well satisfied
with their investment. The mill has
been increased to 20 stamps and the
mine is now one Of the biggest gold
producers in Southern Oregon.

No July rsrm Of Circuit Court.

Monday is the day for the July
term Of circuit court to convene, but
there ia 80 little on the docket that
Judge H. K. Hanna has decided not
to hold session. There is but one
prisoner in, the Jail, Smith the cloth:

the county Is board him until the
September term than to be to the ex-
pense Of jury summoned just for his
case. So to save expense on the tax
payers Judge Hanna will let Smith
do little sweating and repenting
during these hot Summer days.
Mrs. Hanna left last week to spend
the Summer with their daughter and
son in Oakland, CAL, and the Judge,
accompanied by his son, Herbert, will
leave next week for Cinnabar Springs
to spend a, month at that famous re-

buyer Of Medford. and has had

trips to Hood River. as has also his
brother Fredrick d. Eismann, who is
president of the Grants Pass Fruit
Growers Union, to study the methods
that have enabled the Hood River
growers to get 50 to 50 per box for
their apples while the Josephine
county growers were able to realize
but 80 cents to $3.50 a box for their
apples. Mr.. Eismann is also close

Bros, the champion apple grower OF
Josephine county and : among the
largest orchardists of Rogue River
Valley, returned Wednesday evening

couple of days on an inspection trip
of the big orchards of that vicinity.
To Courier representative Mr..
Eismann stated that he found the fruit
prospect about Medford to be first
class. A. to the care of their trees by
the big orchardists Of jackson county
Mr. Eismann stated that they hardly
equalled the Hoocd River growers in
thoroughness. AS rule he found
that they did not prune as closely nor
thin as largely and carefully as has
been done to produce the famous Hood
River apple. The : spraying though
had been well done and the crop
would be free from pests or defects.
Mr.. Eismann is q director. lin the
recently organized Grants Pass Fruit
Growers Union and while in Medford
he called on Manager J. A. Perry of
the Rogue River Fruit Growers
Union. who gave him much valuable
information ON the detail workings

THE FRUIT GROWERS
ADOPT CONSTITUTION
Get Ready for Business-Hold Ses-
sion This Saturday to Arrange
for Purchase of Supplies.

The adjourned meeting for perfectinG
the organization of the Grants Pass
Fruit Growers Union was held last
Saturday afternoon in the Courier
Office. There was a good attendance
of fruit growers and the spirit of co.
operation and of confidence in what a
union can accomplish for its members
gave the assurance that they were one
set of farmers who could and would
work together in harmony and would
maintain an organization that would
be Of great financial gain TO them
selves and strong factor in bringing
greater prosperity to Josephine
county.
The meeting was called to order by
the chairman, Fred d. Eisman. Prior
to the regular business of the meeting
q general discussion Of the work of
fruit growers unions was had. Hon.
A. H. Carson, commissioner for the
First District OF the State Board of
Horticulture, spoke on what unions
had accomplished in putting the fruit
industry on q paying basis at Hood
River, Medford, Ashland and other
places. To enforce the state law aud
compel owners of diseased fruit trees
to either clear the tress of pests or to
cut them down was another work
that fruit growers union in Jose
phine county could undertake. Mr..
Carson thought the union should rec
ommend and secure the appointment
by the county court Of man who
had the knowledge. the tact and the
energy to execute the duties of fruit
inspector. Then to make 1t possible
to fully enforce the law the union
should strongly back the inspector and
educate popular opinion to secure con-
victions by juries in the county should
obstinate violators of the law be
brought up for punishment. Mr..
Carson stated that for this year he
could not join the union as he was
now the only one who had grapes to
market and preferred to handle them
himself.
Copies Of the constitutions and
rules and regulations Of both the Hood
River Fruit Growers Union and of the
Rogue River Fruit Growers Union of
Medford had been secured and each
were read by Secretary Meserve. In
the discussion that followed Of the
obligations that these rules imposed
on the members Henry Ruch, manager
of the H. B. Miller orchard, stated
that he could not sanction the rule
that compelled members to market
their fruit through the union. For
this year he had arrangements made
with dealers in China to handle his
crop and therefore would not join the
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 1886-1927, 1906-07-06

sanctioned this rule for without 1t
designing dealers would break up the
union by bidding up members fruit
and then when the union was wrecked
proceed to pay the hapless growers 79
cents box for fine Spitzenbergs as
was the hard experience of an APP
plegate orchardist last year, who made
shipment that had the fruit been
handled by union would have netted
him 50 or more box. Every grower
present had hard luck story to tell
of the way they had lost on their fruit
through the greed or dishonesty of the
middlemen
The adoption OF a constitution was
then taben up and the best features of
the constitutions of the Hood River
and Medford unions were embodied
in the constitution for the Grants Pass
Fruit Growers Union, which is pub.
lished herewith in full. The rules
governing picking, grading and pack
ing Of fruit, the sale to members of
supplies. ETC., will be deferred to a
future meeting pending thorough
consideration of the matter and a
comparison of the rules of other
unions. The membership roll was
then signed up by Eismann Bros, J.
H. Robinson, r. A.. N. Reymers. X.

The election Of treasurer was deferred
until the next meeting and President
Eismann was authorized to arrange
with one of the banks of Grants Pass
to act as custodian of the funds of the
union and to have person Of the
bank fill the position of treasurer.
j. A. Perry. manager of the Rogue
River Fruit Growers Union, having
been invited to attend this meeting
was unable to do so and sent letter
stating that he could not come to
Grants Pass by reason of an important
meeting of the Medford union.
Manager Perry was again invited to
meet with, this Union at its next
meeting for the purpose of taking up

A consular report holds Japan responsible for half the trouble thatis now worrying the hide and leather market. When she went to war with Russia she had to shoe with leather half million men who had been accustomed to wear straw sandals. In doing this she drew heavily on the worlds supply of tanned hides, and the effects of this drain are still feltin the leather market. If the Japs continue the habit thus acquired of wearing leather boots, the situation is not likely to improve right away unless the Japs also take to raising cattle.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachin Tube. When this tube inf1amed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hndured Dollars for any case of Deafness (causcd by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
