GRANTS PASS SALOONS
WILL CLOSE SUNDAYS
They Decide That They Will
Hereafter Comply With the Law
Governing Such Matters.

Learning that the saloon men Of
Grants Pass closed their places Of
business from IL O'Clock, Saturday
night TO Monday morning. the
Courier reporter sought out City
Attorney G. W. Colvig, to ascertain
IL this was to be permanent arrange
ment and Mr.. Colvig frankly admit.
ted it was to hereafter be permanent
thing. He said that the saloon
keepers, upon learning that COM
plant had been made to the city at
torney regarding the matter, they
came to him and inquired II they
would be prosecuted for back VIOLA
tions, II they complied with the or
dinance the following Sunday and
hereafter and that he told them that
they would not be prosecuted, II they
did as they offered to do.
City Attorney Colvig remarked that
he informed the saloon people that
the element which was back Of the
movement was powerful and that
consisted Of leading citizens and tax
payers who were determined to have
the law inforoed. The saloon forces
seemed to feed that all that was
required OF them mtwas that they should
obey the law and this they propose do.>
ing In the future. Mr.. Colvig told
them that 1t was not their money that
was wanted, but that they should.
as law abiding citizens comply with
the city ordinances and to this they
have readily complied.
And thus Grants Pass joins the long
procession OF cities throughout the
west, as well as the east, which are
having the "hd put on, or in other
words whore the city ordinances re-
quiring the saloons to be closed on
are being rigidly enforced.
1t is oommendable thing on the
part of the Grants Pass dealers In
"wet goods" that they have volun-
tarily offered To- comply with the law
and 1t only means that they are to
be olassed among the people who
want the laws enforced, no matter
who is affected thereby. Such action
on their part will have good inn
preston a pom the newcomers who will
see that this Is community com.
posed of people who mean to abide by
the laws Of the CITY and land.

CHAPTER XII.
Weman,s WlIfuIness.

Joan rode on, silent, a furlong be-
fore all her men. Behind her sulked
Maurice Won Lynar. Had any been
there to note, their faces were now
strangely alike in feature, and yet
more curiously unlike in expression.
Joan gazed forward into the distance
like a soul dead and about to be re-
born. planning a new life. Maurice
Won Lynar looked more like a naughty

rod-wielding, has compelled to obey
against his will.
Soon Castle Kernsberg 1oated up
like a cloud before them above the
blue and misty plain. But no word
spoke Joan till that purple shadow
had taken shape as stately stone and
lime, and she could discern her own
red lion flying abreast of the banner
of Louis of CORTLAND upon the top
most pinnacle of the round tower.
Then on a little mound without the
town she halted and faced about.

Senator Foraker Uses Anecdote to

Before Senator Foraker was elected
to the office he now holds he practieed
law in Cincinnati, says the New York
American. 1t is said of him that his
fees were larger than those of any
other attorney in Ohio. 1t is generally
known that he is a poor man so far
as earthly possessions 60. Senator
Platt. of New York, asked him not
long ago why he held himself down to
a $4,000 job, whereas if he confined
himself to legal practice he could grow
enormously rich.
Il am told that YOU get bigger fees,
said the New Yorker, that any
other attorney out your way"

A very simple and handy trough to
be used in the pastures or fields can
be made Of fence boards nailed to-
gether V shaped and fitted with ends
and legs long enough to raise the top
of trough about 20 inches from the
ground. The legs should be nailed on
the boards fat so they will be sufn-
GENTLY wide apart at bottom to insure
the stability of the trough so it may
not be easily overturned. says an ex-

put on a 16-foot trough. In case some
of the sheep jump owe the trough
thus getting dirt into the feed a mar
row strip should be supported over
the top of the trough by mailing braces

if more conveniences we're at hand
| One such trough is sufficient for 20
or more sheep and in feeding the
lambs separately they can be enclosed
in creeps.
To complete the outfit and make the
feeding OF grain to the lambs while
at pasture an easy chore, a chest or
feed box should also be provided,
This box should have a weather proof
cover and a lock and key, the key to
be in the pocket Of the feeder. As he
goes from work at evening time he
can call up the lambs and give them
their grain ration. say Coleman;
