DR.. G. A. Campbell. of Dallas. Polk
county, Oregon. an osteopath, has de-
cided to come to Grants Pass to re-
side and practice his profession. He
spent much time at Medford, Ashland
and elsewhere, but none OF them made
80 good an impression as has Grants
Pass. He remarked to the Courier
man that it was truly amusing the
way the Medfordites booned their
own section in one breath and then
in the next they would run down
Grants Pass and all other nearby
places. ''why." said he II think il
they would only give the majority OF
the newcomers half chance to look
around, great many of them would
do lust as | have done, namely, go
to some other place. Yes, | like
Grants Pass better than Medford or
any other place have yet visited
and | am coming here to make my
home among you for that very rea-
son. - He says that great many
people are leaving eastern Oregon on
account Of the unbesrable winters
and the most of them are coming to
Southern Oregon.
Senator Milton A. Miller, who, as
one of his travelling associates r.
marked is about the only Democrat
in Oregon who seems TO have enough
Of a pull, aside from Governor Cham
berlain, to get himse I into Office
while in Grants Pass the other day,
told the Courier reporter that in his
estimation the next Legislature would
likely have TO frame law regulst-
ing even the freight and passenger
rates for the Southern Pacific rail
rasd. Indeed. he is almost Inclined
to think tbs, Oresoo will get very
little relief trcn the excessive
charges Of this sres; monopoly until

Cicllisr's Weekly and which will
szord Oregon some excellent sdvertis-
lns "Fervor seems, to our percep-
;ion. to mark this letter from
reader; To the Editor of Golfers:
Sir-I ask for space for this in your
columns because everybody ought 20
know something about Oregon. The
Only One, for a knowledge of such
country gives a man hook to hang a
hope on-a hope that he may some
time get there. The climate OF Ore
gon is the kind you would make
yourself il able aud bottle up if you
could to take with you when you
travel Edison says he is going to
build houses with thick, hollow walls
aud squirt cool stuff IN them in sum-
mer and something warm in winter.
That is to say, he is trying artifiCially
to obtain Oregon climate. He eX-
poets 70 secure at enormous cost what
every body in Oregon gets for nothing.
Sylvester Stewart. Loog may the
West feel this sbOunding pride of
youth Tue idea OF Oregon cneers us
also; may she act more generously
regarding her resources than her
present Governor wishes her TO act.
Seems to me that we ought to have
at least two days for Thanksgiving,
said ons citizen who had evidently
seen an overly burdened festal board, "
the day before. TGen be prolonged
his remarks by commenting thusly:
ITO my way OF thinking, We
should have one day when we would
be expected to stuff ourselves and then

TO recover from the trying ordeal of
the day before. l know its lots of
fun to have very late dinner and
then to devour everthying in sight,
even IL the table is hesping down
with good things But, say, it is
truly tough to get over the effects of
the gormandizIng experience. Sup.
pose you agitate this matter and
while Governor Chamberlain finds it
so easy to make holidays, he might
take pity on suffering humanity and
set apart two days, instead of only
one, for this great feast day"
Il tell you l think if these good
church people who seem SO very an
xious to work up reforms in Grants
Pass would only join their for es and
give our boys and young men Y. NJ.
q. A, or something equally as good.
they would accomplish great deal
more good, for really l am not oppos.
ing the saloons, simply because there
is no other place for the men folks to
go to spend an evening, if they hap.
