ROGUE RIVER APPLES

Passenger Agent McMurray will
Send Many Boxes Back to Ad-
vertise Resources.

That the Southern Pacific officials
are doing what they can to advertise
the Rogue River Valley in the east is
shown by the fact that William Mo.
Murray, general passenger agent has
personally spent slS5 for 80 boxes of
fancy apples, which at his own ex-.
pense he has placed where they would
do the most for this section, says the
Medford Tribune. This is probably
larger amount than any resident has
expended this year in making southern
Oregon fruit famous. These apples
were mostly sent to prominent men in
the east and all brought forth letters
of highest concentrations.
Two Of these boxes, one each Of

placed ON exhibit at the intsrnati onsl

general attention. Writing of this

FINANCIAL SITUATION
ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY
Grants Pass Banks are Doing
Busin ess at the Old Stand
and Everybody Smiles.

lne nu was taken on or the
Grants Pass banks, Monday morning,
although the said institutions really
began paying out the ready cash
Saturday, and there was not the
slightest indication of anything out
of the ordinary.
The Courier man visited both banks
Monday forenoon and found every
thing moving along 10 the even tenor
Of its way. AT the First National
Assistant Cashier Roy Hackett greet
ed him very cordially and reported
that there was nothing at all out Of
the way and on the contrary that
the deposits were fully equal to the
Withdrawals He said they were
much pleased with the way matters
were going and that everything in
dicsted that there would not even
be anything like ripple on the local
financial surface.
At the Grants Pass Banking &
Trust Co., Cashier L. L. Jewell and
his able assistants were found greeting
their may patrons with smiling
countenances aud when accosted by
the newsgstherer, Mr.. Jewell re-
marked that everything was lovely"
He also stated that the line of deposits
we're coming in nicely and were
fully equal, If not greater than the
cash that was going out. Of course
he was more than pleased with this
state of affairs and did not hesitate to
say so. He thinks that the furry
is all over and that new the business
world will settle down to its normal
condition.
Business men were interviewed by
the reporter and without exception
they were one and all found to be OF
very optimistic frame OF mind aud
they predicted that conditions would
continue to improve right along from
this time on and that in few weeks
there would be no trace left of this bit
of financial excitement.
Citizens in general who were ap-
preached by the pencil pusher, were
wearing hopeful countenanoes and
they talked in msnuer to indicate
all too plainly that they were deeply
interested in this matter They TOO
felt good over the way things were
going and likewise predicted that the
strigency was thing of the past aud
that now confidence would be restored
right along aud the business world
would get back into its customary
channels. Every body seems glad of
the fiual outcome and one and all be-
lieve and trust that nothing of the
kind will ever occur again.

Osyter Ragoo.-Put into stewpan

a bit of shallot shredded very fine, a
grating of nutmeg and salt to taste.
Heat the oyster liquor and thicken

Season and serve with the oysters on

Baked Peas.-Soak one pint of
whole dried peas in cold water all
night; the next morning put on to
boil in the same water, and as soon
as they come to a boil, drain; put
in a covered baking dish (unless you
have a New England bean pot) with
a piece of fat salt pork two inches
square, and a little pepper. Bake
half day in a hot oven and when
ready to send to the table dot the top
with bits of butter They are as green
as American canned peas and far more
delicious.
Baked Onions-Peel six medium

wah1es fried golden brown and ar
tistically disposed on the dish con-
tanning the chicken.
Meats that are to be carved at the
table should be garnished in manner
not to interfere with that operation.
A touch of green here and there is
usually all that is desirable in the
way of decoration for dishes of this
sort, although small onions boiled ten
der in sailed water, croquettes mold
ed in fancy shapes, then fried golden
brown in deep, hot fat, or fried oys-
tiers and tiny sausages, all make eff
fective garnishes for roast, whether
Of beef or poultry.
Here is a fine opportunity for any
house wife to originate something
new in the art of garnished dishes.
