PHILADELPHIA, Nov. s.
Thrown into trance by the re-
fusal of his sweetheart to marry
him, Merton A. Swartz, an athuetic
young fellow, walked from Philadel-
phia to Boston in two weeks, al
though absolutely unconscious of
his surroundings or the roads he
was taking.
SwartZ, who is in business with
his father at SIC North Second
street, this city, was completely
senseless throughout the weary
journey, the physicians say. They
declare that lie must have eaten,
but the young man himself does
not, of course, remember having
done so.
AS soon as Swartz reached Brock
ton, Mass, however, he went to a
restaurant. His face and hands
were white and the veins stood out
prominently. Men and women in
the restaurant fled, as Swartz
looked like a walking corpse.
The restaurant keeper, seeing his
CLASSY eyes, jumped to the tele-
phone and called the police.
There is tramp here and he
looks dangerous he said.
Several policemen hurried
around in patrol wagon and
Swartz was taken to Jail. Not for
four days was the young man able
to give an account of himself. At
first thu words came without Sc
quence and sounded like the dis

Over so NAMES had been secured to the

BOOSTER
VISITS CITY
''Tom" Richardson Visits Grants Pass
and Addresses. Large and En-
thusiaStic Audience.

"Tem" Richardson. Oregou's ''Big
Booster" was Grants Pass guest
Wednesday. He arrived from the
south in the forenoon and visited the
public schools during the day, making
the scholars an address that inter.
ested them very much and in the
evening he delivered telling ad-
dress at the opera house before the
Commercial Club and their friends
In his evening address Mr.. Richard
sou told the people Of Grants Pass of
the latent prosperity and wealth Of
this splendid section and vividly
pointed ont the duty Of every citizen
in helping to show to the world the
advantages we possess. He spoke Of
prosperous Ashland and its vigorous
effort for the development of that
section. He told of the efforts Of
Medford and her great appreciation Of
the possibilities that surround that
town and then he told the people of
Grants Pass ut the Booster meeting Of
their apparent lethargy along the line
of progress and development Of Sec
tion even superior to that of the
81 lendid towns just mentioned
Tom knows Oregon from A to u
and he told us csndidly Of our latent
power in the building OF a splendid
city right here at Grants Pass. All
the ingredients are here to make this
the commercial center aud it is up to
MS to make this, garden of the
Rogue River, bloom and prosper. He
says we are a notch or two behind
vigorous Ashland and strenuous Med
ford In the matter Of progress, but
that we have even better resources and
greater possibilities and it is our re-
ligious duty to let the Fasteners
know of this great country and its
wonderful resources. He said that
every letter sent out should TEEN with
the home sentiment and tell of the
possibilities which are here for the
taking.
At this jnncture he requested all
who had come here within the past
FIVE years to stand up and he was as.
tonished to find that about 80 per cent
of the audience were on their feet.
Basing his estimate upon this fact and
in view Of the fact that such seems to
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 1886-1927, 1908-03-13

be the case all over Oregon, he pre-
dicted that Oregon's population was
going to go ahead with leaps and
bounds. He reported that in his ad-
dress at the school he made the same
request and found that fully one-half
of the scholars present had come to
Grants Pass in that short period.
These facts were surprise to Tom
who Is accustomed to rapid growths
in population and even more Of q
surprise to our residents to whom
the growth has been apparent but
not startling. Mr.. Richardson ad-
vised the people Of Grants Pass to
get busy" right now and thus Sc.
cure her Just share Of the permanent
wealth and prosperity due this fa-
vored section Of the great state Of
Oregon by reason of the superior ls-
cation and great natural resources.
One fact he noted, that the Rogue
River Valley produced the highest
priced pears ever grown In the world.

mere advertisement.
Mr.. Richardson's g words should he
an impetus to the growth OF Grants
Pass and We should have population
Of at lest 10000 people within the
next five years; we should have a
splendid street car system, within
the next decade, free mail delivery
within year, and courthouse
which would be the pride Of every
citizen Of the municipality; We
should have paved streets before the
fall. Grants Pass. located right hero
between Eugene and Medford. awaits
only magic touch of home apprecia-
tion and q booster spirit to make her
the commercial center Of this entire
section. We have the climate; we
have the soil; we have the brains and
the money. Let as do it-let us DO
IT NOW.
Mr.. Richardson's story of Gen.
Grant, with whom he was personally
acquainted, was greatly appreciated
by the audience and he was heartily
applauded throughout his DISCOURSE.
Mr.. Richardson spoke in bighet
term of the good work done by
Secretary Harry Andrews for the
Grants Pass Commercial club.

Prominent Temperance Workers

Quite a goodly number of repre-.
sentative citizens assembled at the
Courthouse, Monday evening. to meet
with the Anti-Saloon workers and to
plan for an active campaign, looking
to the banishment of the saloons
from Josephine county. Some time
was taken in considering the matter
Of state funds and when il was ascer.
tained that the big donation made for
the cause while the venerable DR..
Chapman was here. during December.
was to go towards the liquidating of
the debt incurred during last cam
paign, there was disposition on the
part of some to protest. rs 1t was very
generally understood that said funds
were to be used largely to carry on
the work in this county. However.
after the matter had been discussed.
pro and con, it was unanimously de-
cided that the work must not stop
and accordingly the meeting decided
TO begin an active and aggressive
campaign.
A central committee composed Of
leading citizens of the county was ap-
pointed and steps taken to begin the
work at once. the members entering
into the plans with much enthusiasm
and each one resolved 10 do his utmost
to see the undertaking successfully
carried out.
President Ward McHsnry, Of the

who has just been making thorough
canvass of that county. was present
and brought very encouraging word
from the sister county. He stated
that he had been agrseabbly surprised
to find how widespread the movement

while Medford business men we're
taking a decided stand in favor of
making the entire county dry.
At Gold Hill. business men informed
him that they were in favor Of it, be-
cause the saloons here drove away
business that would naturally come
from Sans Valley and other tributary
sections.
Gold Hill business men informed
him that when Sheriff jackson came
there and Estopped the gambling that
had besn going on, they found they
were getting money from customers
who before were never able to pay,
but who now kept their earnings for
their families. instead of spsnding II
gambling. And throughout the
