COURIER GROWS WITH GRANTS
PASS.

Grants Pass is growing and the
Courier is growing, as is all the
other live business enterprises in the
city. With this week the Courier
enlarges from a four.page to an
eight page paper, though for this
edition 10 pages are printed to give
space to the large amount of local
news and advertising. With the fine
corps of correspondents sending in
news from all sections of Joseph inc
county and the large amount of local
matter that is to be run, toget her
with the liberal advertising space
that the local merchants take the
eight pages are now required and it
is probable that many Of the editions
for this. year will contain 10 pages,
with the certainty that the Courier
will be farther enlarged by another
year.
The Courier has more than aN 5raged
new Subscriber a day for 1905 and
the hattering beginning for 1905 in
dicates that larger increase will be
had for this year. With this splendid
and substantial encouragement it will
be the plan to as steadily improve the
Courier and to keep it up to the high
standard of being the lest newspaper
In Southern Oregon.
