oREGoN's PROSPEROUS TOWNS

oREG0N'S PROSPEROUS TOWNS.
1t is unfortunate when facts are
subordlnated to theory, and 1t is
especially unfortunate when those
who should be most deeply interested
In the prosperity of town are en-
gagged In giving 1t black eye to sus-
tain vicious theory.
This observation is suggested by
a remark made by the secretary of
the Portland Commercial Club in a
meeting of the Commercial Club
November 10. Mr. Richardson stated
that the town in Oregon having the
largest percentage OF growth for last
year Is Eugene This statement has
more than @ passing Interest, TO u.s..
lt has been repeatedly claimed, and
the statement has boen sown broad
cast that Grants Pass has been lose
ing financially and otherwise by the
closing OF the saloons. Whether
that has kept any who might be de-
sirable citizens from coming here Is
hardly debatable question, but that
Il has tended to discourage some and
has, in a measure, prevented unity
of effort In the development of the
city Is an admitted fact.
Passing by the absurdty of the
claim that that which produces
nothing but la2iness, crime and mis-
cry can be a factor in the prosperity
of a community, let us get at the
facts.
\ trip down the Willamette valley
brings to light remarkable condl-
lions, conditions that reveal with
startling emphasis the absurdity of
the claim that a town is In any way
dependent upon the saloon for IT'S
prosperity
Taking Eugene. dry town. as
starter, we have here the most re-
marknble growth that Oregon has
witnessed In It's history Then visit

,ery face. And these are all towns

every face. And these are all towns
that have banished the saloon.
Now we come to one strange ex-
ception-and in touching this we do
not wish to fall into the error OF
subordinating facts to theory-the
city of Woodburn. There is no
town in the Willamette valley that
has greater natural resources or a
richer surrounding country tributary
than that same Woodburn. Yet this
Is the one town that seems to be
stationary, there being scarcely any
perceptible progress. And this town
has the open saloon In all its power
( for evil. If it is a power for progress,
what ails Woodburn? Is this case
OF cause and effect? There are those
/ in Woodburn who do not hesitate to
answer this question In the affirma-
/ tive and declare their determination
/ to work for the removal of the evil
that they may join the procession.
/ Whether this be case of cause
and effect we will not attempt to de-
eide. but there is one lesson that
should come home to us: Loyalty to
our own interests requires that we
cease giving the town a black eye,
retarding progress and crying that
it is the lamb of temperance that has
spoiled the drink of the patient wolf
Every town that has turned the
money from the saloon into the legi-
innate channels of trade is moving
forward, developing its resources
receiving the best class of settlers
and developing the best type of young
manhood and young womanhood.
Last week we were visited by some
Medford citizens, and as they saw
our beautiful river and park they
said, "If Medford had Grants Pass
location we would make town Of
it."
OF course they would, and not by
putting in saloons, for they were not
that kind of citizens, but they would
do it by pulling together, and by 10y
atty to their own home.
Medford has the saloon fight on
her hands; we have it settled. Med
ford would not tolerate an organ
that would run down the town on any
pretext; and in this she is wise.
1t Is an i'll bird that fouls its
own nest" Cut it OUT

IMPORTANCE OF HOME BUYING

IMPORTANCE OF HOME BUYING.
Too much money is going from
this county to the mail order houses
of half a dozen big cities. 1t is an
old story that has often been told,
but this is SO vital just now to the
prosperity of the people of this sec
tion that we feel it duty to urge
the Importance of dealing with your
home merchant This does not ap-
ply more to the farmer than it does
to the business and professional man
of the city. The merchant favors
home buying when 1t applies to
others but he too often sends away
for articles which he does not keep
rather than to give his trade to fell
low merchants in other lines. This
is setting a bad example and he will
be certain to be hoisted on his own
petard If he does not reform If you
are looking up this subject and will
investigate you will find many homes
in both city and country supplied
with catalogues and they are con-
stantly in use. Ladies whose hus-
bands are in business cannot afford
to send out Of town for those articles
which are kept in our home stores.
Farmers may think they are in
dependent of the town merchant, but
they are mistaken. The facts are
that we are all in some way Joined
together, and every mans prosper
ity depends largely on the prosperity
of those around him. The farmer,
If he builds up the town, partici-
pates directly In its prosperity by en-
larging the home market for his
products. The merchant, IL he will
buy the farmers products, will keep
the money at home and 1t returns to
him directly. If the money is kept
at home we have both the goods and
the money; II that money is sent
away for goods we only have the lat
ter.

next day and more than twenty
thousand weekly papers published 1t
before the week was out, and then
there were thousands Of editorials
about the Rogue River valley and
the wonderful distinction 1t had won.
This was not all. 1t was not the no.
toriety gained, but the fact that the
Rogue River valley has the soil, the
climate and the conditions gener-
ally for growing fruit which is SUI
perior to that grown in all other
sections; added to this was the fact
that the prize won carried with II
the title OF King of the apple grow
ing world"
This, 1t viii be seen, Is kind OF
advertising which can only come to
a country that has proven its SUI
periority through impartial experts
in apple growing. The value of this
advertising which has come to us
cannot even be estimated 1t tells
a story which will go to all the fruit
growers of the world and be read
by them with deep interest. All
honor to Tronson & Guthrie of Eagle
Point, who have by their superior
knowledge and intelligent work add
ed intrinsic value to every acre of
land in the Rogue River valley and
made it an incentive to other fruit
growers to go and do likewise.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1909.
THE CITY ELECTION.

On Monday last there was muni.
cipal election in Grants Pass al
which time mayor, city treasurer
and four members of the council
were elected. There were two
tickets, of course, in the election, but
the interest taken was all on one
side. What was known as the Smith
party drilled night and day from the
time the nominating convention was
held, down to the close of the polls
on Monday night. This proved they
were good politicians and good or
ganizers. The Norton party made
no effort to organize until about
three days before the election; they
felt sure of the result being in their
favor and one of the most prominent
and conservative men ON chat side
Informed the Courier on Saturday
that he was as sure of a majority for
Norton as IL the election had been
held and the vote counted. The
Courier had figures at the time
which, in its judgment, gave Smith
30 majority, but the authority from
which came the claim of a Norton
majority was from so high a source
we felt that the Courier figures
might be wrong,
The Norton men did what they
could, 1t is true, but Smith was real
ly elected before the other party took
the field. This accounts for the de-
feat of Mr.. Norton.
The Observer Is In error when it
says there was church party in this
election. The church by request stay
ed out of the fight and had not this
been the case, the result would have
been the election of Norton. Our
esteemed contemporary made an
other stab at the churches by saying
the voters asserted their independ-
ence and mental liberty by voting
down all church candidates. This Is
simply misrepresentation. There
were no church candidates. In the
first ward Lee Calvert was nomin-
ated by popular vote and he was
elected by the same vote. The church
people voted for what they thought
was the best interest OF the city. No
one will deny that the church peo-
pie or the temperance people have as
much right to organize as the anti
church or anti-temperance party has.
II Is well known fact that the sa-
loon forces were fully organized and
they voted as one man as they had a
right to- There were few anti
church men and they worked and
voted with them and both of these
always favor turning the churches
into taverns and club rooms. Grants
Pass is church town, and when the
lines are drawn, the church people
can, aided by the moral element, car
ry any election, In spite OF the vets
or the dlsbeievers.
