Say, Mr., Editor, why cant you
boom the idea of our having fur
niture factory" said Joseph Moss,
the we'll known citizen. He called at.
tention to the fact that there is
plenty Of fine oak timber and told how
a prominent millmsn had Just informed
him that he could readily furnish
1000 or 50.000 feet of choice oak,
on very short notice. In fact he
said the supply was abundant for such
an enterprise. Mr. Moss is not alone
in this idea, for several citizens have
been looking into this matter and they
are finding that it is altogether a
feasible undertaking. One of them
tells of a small oak table, the top of
which measures only six feet and yet
it cost $50 and he has figured it out
that a good part Of that sum has been
paid for freight. He finds that a
small oak rocker will cost from Sl5
to $50 and that the freight is a big
part of the cost. Josephine oak is
regarded rs mighty fine for such pur.
poses and it would be a splendid thing
it Grants Pass could have factory
established for turning out such de-
sirable goods.

go dry" at the next general election

put up money on it, if believed in

when they come to town, say that it
is bad thing for them and for the

A newcomer tells thes Courier how
he happened to go to Medford before
coming here and how they labored
with him to get him to remain there.
He said that what aroused him more
than anything else was the way they
endeavored to make him think that
there was really no other place in
Southern Oregon. where good fruit
land. could be had. But he had re.
ceived some information before going
there and they could not make him
believe all their stuff. One leading
booster even followed him to Grants
Pass, in this endesvor to persuade
him to come back there and locate.
But they wasted their ammunition,
for he thinks that he would much
rather live in this part of the valley
and has already secured a piece of
good fruit land and the longer he
stays here, the better pleased is he
with his selection OF this locality as
his future home.

tiOn. Mr.. Glass, in speaking along
this line, remarked that it was no
longer a question of mortality, as the
liquor dealers admitted that it was
wrong to sell the stuff, But, said
he, what we want to do is to con.
vince the taxpayers that it is going to
lower taxes and bring in lots of good
people, and then they will wipe it out
of existence. Why, Stockton, CAL.
has SO many saloons and drunken
ness that the business men and the
citizens in general began to agitste
the matter, saying that it was hurting
the city and they held monster mass
meeting. which l attended and it was
addressed by ex.judges and the like
and they made splendid temperance
talks. The district attorney showed
how, after he was elected SO cases
came before him and 81 of these we're

cities Of Pasadena, Riverside, Red

like, in Southern California, which
