In the year 1881 Pinsker, the first
Territorialist, pointed out in his book,
"Semi- mi-Emancipation," that the selec-
ton must be made with every precan-
ton by single body, through com
mittee of experts. "Only such IA su-
perior tribunal" he wrote, "could
competently determine. after thor
ough and comprehensive investiga-
tions, on which continent and on
which part our final choice must be
fixed" Exactly in accordance with
this prophetic statement. the task has
been undertaken by single body.
through committee of experts. The
single body is the Ito. the committee

LETTER EROM IOWA.
Fred Newbern Writes Interestingly About the
Operation of Farmers Elevators.

Fred Newbern. former resident here,
who four or five years ago disposed of
his farm south of town, removing to his
former home in Iowa, in letter of recent
date writes Interestingly of conditions
generally where he is now living, l.:o
letter is of some length, but we quote
that portion of it which deals with the
question of farmers elevators, which
lately has been largely under discussion
by farmers of this county as we'll
as in nearly every other section of the
state. In Iowa farmers elevators are
dividing the business with the old line
companies, and as will be gathered from
Mr.. Newbern's letter, IN some~s localities
have a shade the best of it. In part the
letter says:
''The money panic has played the
deuce with the prices of grain and all
kinds of stock For time all the old
line elevators were closed in this county,
but do not know of any of the farmers
elevators that closed up at all. / know
of six elevators within fifteen miles of
Greene, including the one we have here.
I would tell all my old neighbors in
Cavalier county that they have no idea
of what you can do and the good that
you have done until you have helped to
build farmers elevator. Ours is on
the Rockwell plan, the father of ITO
elevators in Iowa. The price of grain
went up from to cents a bushel, with
honest weights, the day our manager
opened the elevator door. Coal could
be brought from 81 to $1.5O per ton
cheaper. Flour was 30 cents hundred
weight less; and mill feed, including oil
meal went down In price 81 25 per ton
When the start was made the banks
merchants, implement and lumber deal
ers fought us. A year and half before
we got site new line elevator we
could not buy for $4,000; twenty -four
hours after we had got site it was
offered to us for $4,000. We have the
second largest membership in the state
215, in number and frequently adding te
the number. This year we are building
new coal sheds and in addition will
handle -four, salt and mill stuffs of all
kinds and do quite good deal of busi.
ness with people who do not belong te
our company. The town that has not 8
farmers elevator is unfortunate, for the
grain is sure to go to the town whore the
farmer can got the most for it, and they
are bound to spend considerable of thei1
money whore they sell. Here's an in
stance to the point: Our elevator il
paying A and As cents, while at Charles
City they were only paying 80 cents. L
is 18 miles from Greene to Charles City
Teams came here from within four miles
of Charles City with oats. The railroad
company and line elevators are raising
the deuce with the farmers elevator
but it certainly appearssto be getting no
for the old liners. The men who haulet
over tho oats said that the line com
panies had circulated tho story that the
farmers elevator at Greene WAS $8,O0Oil

JOSEPHINE WILL BE
In THE DRY LINE
Sentiment In Favor of Suppress
sing the Saloon is Steadily
Gaining Ground.

1t is now but one short month until
the election when the question of
Local Option for Josephine county
will come before the voters and a
glance at the situation may help to
give light to some. The reports from
Jackson county to the south and
Douglas county to the north give the
strongest kind of assurance that both
these counties will go dr'. 1t has
been freely predicted in Grants Pass
and throughout the country precincts
that Josephine county will be another
LUX in the white zone which will in
the very near future traverse the state
of Oregon from north to south. Has
it ever occurred to you, good citizen,
what w3uld TO the condition of
Grants Pass. il Douglas and jackson
counties went dry and Josephine did
not? What do you think would be the
haven of refuge for the undesirable
hangerson of the saloon, if our beauti-
full city and county should be blinded
to the dire results that would follow +?
Let 1t not be forgotten that our pres
ent saloon evils would be increased
several times, and let us by our votes
protect our city and homes from the
work of the destroyer, We already
have some bright and shining exam
pies of the good that results from
the removal of the saloon, and Mayor
Matlock of Eugene eau give facts and
figures that ought to convince any
fair minded man.
If you have the opportunity get in
TO conversation with some of Ash
lands progressive citizens and see
what they think about the beuetds
they have obtained. They are not
slow to use in their ADVERTISING cam
paign the words "No saloons" and
they know the effect these words
have on people who have families to
raise. We have all the advantages
and naturaroonditions that attract set
tiers, and how greatly they would be
enhanced if we could say Bring your
sons and daughters here, for we have
no saloons" We hear SO much about
the failure of prohibition to prohibit
but is it not strange that the liquor
forces always fight prohibition to the
last ditohg Just look at this clipping
from recent number of The In.
terror" published in Chicago;
Prohibitin is a failure"
This is answered in a breath by
mentioning the spread of prohibi.
tion territory to contiguous ground.

whom there appears to be no more
adept in the adjustment OF nuptial
ties, since his election to the bench
not quite two years ago has united 57
couples. This is probably more by
actual count than the ceremonies per-
formed by all the balance OF the clergy
in the county during the same period.
OF course the judge was ordained a
Christian minister 81 years ago and
by reason of his experience. was es-
pecially we'll qualified to attend to
matrimonial affairs when he entered
upon his judicial duties.
Judge Jewell was born in Kentucky
little more than three score years
ago He started west 38 years ago
and for the past 40 years had been en-
gagged in teaching school, preaching
and lecturing. He has devoted a
greater portion Of his life to temper
ance aud Sunday school lecturinR.
For 20 years he has been resident OF
Grants Pass. Besides his present
position as county judge, be has also
served the people as deputy assessor
and as justice of the peace.
Judge Jewell, sometime go, in view
of the unusual number of marriage
ceremonies he had performed, set his
mark at 60 ceremonies for the first
half. or two years of his present term
which will be the first Of July.
However, the Courier believes from
the present activity of Dan Cupid and
Judge Jewell that he will have an
even 100 to his credit. Why there
were three licenses issued last Mon
