OUR MATCHLESS CLIMATE

The climate Of the Rogue River
valley Is quite different from that
of other parts Of Oregon, the local
ity lies between mountains and is
thoroughly protected from the blasts
OF winter or the coast storms which
prevail nearer the Pacific. The mill
winters which mark this section are
indeed pleasant experience to most
people. II is rarely that the ther-
momoter ranges as low as 20 degrees
above zero and the humid atmos-
phoro which Is called the rainy sea.
son is considered beneficial to in
valIds. The bright days Of sunshine
which mark the early spring and
summer continue through the late
autumn, often reaching the holiday
season. Can one imagine climate
moro cheering TO the average man or
woman?

THIS SPECIAL NuMBER.

The publication of this special
number Of the Rogue River Courier
Is intended to give valuable informa-
tion regarding the country around
Grants Pass The many thousands
who are constantly seeking locations
in the west will appreciate what has
been said regarding the climate, the
soil and the opportunities in Jose
phine county and Central Rogue
River valley.
The Courier Is a newspaper which
has been published in Grants Pass
for nearly a quarter Of a century
that Is, it has now reached It's
twenty-fifth volume. During all
these long years It has served the
public TO the best Of its ability and
It is known far and wide as the rep
resentatlyo newspaper Of It's section.
Many thousands Of copies have been
sent broadcast over the land and it
has been the means of bringing
many people into the Rogue River
valley, and It can be truthfully
said that majority Of these have
found in It profitable and happy
homes.
The one object Of this special
number is to send out a truthful
statement regarding the conditions
around Grants Pass and it pledges
itself to the homeseeker that the in
formation contained in It's pages will
be found reliable and in every way
Trustworthy The Courier manage
ment Is well aware that It cannot
afford to make misrepresentation
and for that reason such statements
have been avoided.
We extend TO every reader a cor
dial invitation to visit Grants Pass
and become familiar with the match
less conditions of this highly favored
section Of the Pacific Northwest.

Rest Climate on the Coast.

Nesting in the beautiful irrigated
valley Of the great Rogue river, sur
rounded by the broken spires and
ridges of the Coast range and within
tba southern shadow Of the great
Siskivou mountains lies the beauti-
ful city of Grants Pass, in a latitude
and at a elevation challenging the
world for comparison. Far enough
north to escape the extreme heat
and dust of California, and far
enough south TO escape the extreme
wet and cold of the north. 1t is
where no billiards blow and no cy-
clone deyastates, where the roar OF
the tornado is never heard and
forked lightning is never seen eX-
cept in the towering peaks Of some
lofty mountain range.
Here in this fertile valley, where
everything grows that grows any
where, the sufferer from hay fever,
asthma and bronchial trouble finds
complete relief and here may you
sleep at night under the dome OF
heaven almost the year around,
without discomfort inbibing natures
healing balm through every pore.
Why sweltcr in summer and
freeze in winter, ye men and women
Of the east and north, when God has
created Oregon and especially the
Rogue River valley? Do you know
that the thermometer seldom goes
below freezing here? Well, it is
true. and when it does it is only just
below and then only for a day or
two. Come out from the snow drifts
and Billiards and live where it is
life to live. Come where the sum
mer sunstroke is unknown and
where summer, though warm, apol-
ogizes constantly with its healing
sea breezes. Yes, come to Grants
Pass where the half has not been
told and you can enjoy life, for re-
member when you die you may not
for a billion ages have the oppor-
tunity of living in such an equable
climate,
The price of land should not
frighten you, for the Rogue River
valley is so large that We still have
unimproyed land that can be bought
as low as $50 per acre, or you can
D. get cleared land with nothing on it
from $40 to $3.50 per acre. You
can buy land with bearing orchards
of apples, pears, peaches, prunes,
plums, etc, or vineyards of Tokays,
b Maagas, Rose of Peru, Concords or
any other variety. Then you get
something rich, and the price of
each is regulated by its annual pro-
duction, but if you buy the raw land
and develop it, every blow adds
twice its cost to the value of the
land. If you doubt, come and see.
