VETS SAID TO BE ORGANIZED

VETS SAID TO BE ORGANIZED.
Not all the organization and deter
mination regarding local option, 1t is
said, is on the side OF. the enforcers
Of the law. The other side Is in evil
dence, but in a very quiet way. One
would hardly suppose that an organ
ization exists in Grants Pass which
has for its object the gathering OF
names of those on the wet as well
as those on the dry side Of this ques-
Llon Every man in town is said to
be rated. If person Is marked
Al he has no difficulty in getting
the real article, either whisky or
beer. If he calls for drink and his
standing is questionable he is given
a substitute. The organization
spoken of is surprisingly active. New
recruits are constantly added and
unreliable parties are 50 marked
Members are closely watched and
news regarding contemplated prose-
.cution is quickly reported and placed
before the proper officials, The
managers know every move that is
made to prosecute and they are also
informed of the names of witnesses
who are likely to appear in court.
Part Of the work undertaken by
these men relates to a careful can
yass Of the voters so as to know the
best methods in case the subject Of
local option again comes before the
public This organized movement is
said to be financed by the wholesale
liquor interests and they hope to be
able to vote this county wet when
the subject again comes before the
people.

The death Of Francis w. Cushman,
congressman from the state of Wash
ington, which occurred at the Roose-
welt Hospital in New York, Is shock
to the whole country Mr. Cushman
was a man Of great ability, integrity
and loyalty, and while he had the re-
putation of being the humorist Of the
House of Representatives, he never
used that humor on serious occa-
sions. He had served in Congress
ten years and possessed a strong hold
on the people Of his state and was
respected over the whole country
His start In life was doing farm
work. AT one time he lived in Wyom-
ing and worked on a ranch, but this
did not prevent him from looking
forward to high position and rank
In the service of his country He was
held In high esteem in Washington
among the members of both houses
OF Congress His life, as he made It.
from humble beginnings, will serve
as an incentive to other poor bows
who have true hearts and a desire
to make name and fame for them
selves.

THE PROOF OF SUCCESS.

The demonstration made on Mon
day last by the Josephine County Ir-
rlgatlon company was one of the
most important events that has ever
occurred on Rogue river. 1t was the
letting or the water into the 200-foot
ditch and allowing 1t to flow through
the streets OF the city. 1t was a
welcome sight TO our citizens and as
the waters Of Rogue river hurried
through the cutters of Sixth street,
Carrying everything before II. the
over-joyed people who had seeming
ly so long waited for this event burst
into enthusiastic cheers, to be repeat
ed again and again The bright
faces of the multitudes told the story
of gladness even more than did the
bursts OF applause,
