IL is a fact not generally known to engineers
outside the State that unlike other States
this State owns most of its inland streams.
This precaution was taken by the State
when the canal system was inaugurated
in the early part OF the last century. Where
in other commemorative the riparian
owners control the bed Of the inland
streams. here the people Of the State are
the owners. so that the State is in a position

rapidly gaining wide reputation.
To my way of seeing things, Grants

than has Medford aud what is more /
mean to invest here. where l cn get
realty at something like its real value
and not have to pay two prices.sS they
are asking up there for no better
land. And say, by the way, did. you
know that they are cirulatineg all
kinds of reports about Grants Pass not
being a healthful place in which to
live. They say You have an epidemic
of spinal meningitis and their daily
paper is hsrping upon tbs matter.
But find that you have only had
one such case here and that, on the
whole, the death rate here is much
lower than it is ut Medford. All
such Misrepresentation, will hurt
Medford more than l can b'gin to tell
and the sooner they stop such
practices, the better it will be for
them, or l am no judge of human
nature. Such nonsense turned me
against the place and it will have
the same effect with people who are
able to think aud act for themselves. -

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
What People saw

What People say.
Robert Morris, Of r. F.lD. No. 1,
in seeing to it that his subscription
was extended to 1908, remarked to the
Courier man that he always managed
to pay for his paper in advance and
that he seemed to enjoy reading it
more when he knew that it was paid
for. In fact he said 1t had been one
OF the rules Of his life to see that his
bills were paid for lAs they we're
contracted. but Of all of them. II any
had to wait bit. he was sure to try
and see that the newspaper was not
allowed to get behind.
Fred T. Harris, . prominent archi-
tect Of Redlands, GAL. who has been
looking over the Pacific northwest,
with the idea Of locating, finding in
the Courier reporter m old friend.
did not hesitate to declare that he
regarded this immediate vicinity as
the most inviting Of any locality he
had yet visited, and he has been to
most OF them. He Is of the opinion
that there is a great future in store
for this region and already he thinks
that the tide of immigration this
way has set in and that hereafter it
will be Oregon and not California
that will be so much talked about.
He plans to come back here and
''get in on the ground floor. "
lyon would be simply amazed at
the remarkable increase In the
volume OF business in our office, I"
was he way Assistant Postmaster W.
| A. Newell talked to the newsgstherer.
Mr. Newell went on to state that the
Increase had been wonderful and that
it was getting greater all the time.
He thinks that this state Of affairs
will keep up right along, If he may
judge by the large number of new
people who are trying to secure boxes
at the postoffice, where none are to
be had. The condition Of affairs al
Uncle Sans Office is always taken al
an indication Of the progress Of the
community, or otherwise. and sc
Grants Passites can secure much res
satisfaction from the way things are
going at the local Office.
