at the latter place.
e. N. Provolt left Monday for Will
Jams where he spent the day election
eering. Mr. Provolt is making
strong campaign in this vicinity and
will carry the entire southern part of
Josephine county. The farmers want
good roads, both in jackson and jose
phine who make their trading point at
Grants Pass, and il the roads between
Grants Pass and Williams were
properly built, Grants Pass would get
3 much heavier support from Jackson
county and the Applegate and TLomp-
son creek valleys, which at present
goes TO Jacksonville. 1t is to the in.
terest Of Grants Pass to support e. N.
Provolt, for commissioner as we'll as
the surrounding county. The Laurel
Grove correspondent was told that
one man was as good in county affairs
as another All men are not alike.
Some can do more with half the
money than others can. am greatly
in favor Of the good work which Mr..
Provolt will make and will help the
good cause as much as can. for we
need good road from the Rogue
river bridge to the Wilderville road,
which will be built if Mr.. Provolt is
elected. Remember June 4, and cast
your vote for Mr.. Provolt and have
good roads and q larger support of
Grants Pass business men, from the
