New Base Ball Ordinance

The city council at its last meeting
passed an ordinance which levies a
tax of SIS on every game of base
ball where admission is charged.
This will result in few professional
games and no games on Sunday. The
ordinance was passed by a vote of
six to one. Councilman Myers, when
the ordinance was brought up, said
that the matter was a complete sur
prise to him and unless it was
changed materially he would be
obliged to vote against it and did so
when the roll was called. This ordin-
ance was the result of trouble which
grew out of the Fourth of July cele-
bration.

VALUE or OUR EXCURSIONS.

VALUE OF OUR EXCURSIONS.
AS will be seen by our special from
Holland the delegation Of AZ mem
bers of the Commercial Club were
cordially received at all places along
the line to that point. Our good
friends in the rich country visited
are entitled to the thanks of the
Grants Pass Commercial Club for
their many acts Of courtesy shown
their delegates on the trip.
II Is safe to say that this excur-
sion will bear good fruit, not only
for the county seat but for the coun-
try visited. If Josephine county Is to
become power in bringing within
It's borders capital for investment and
men Of enterprise to do the necessary
development work, the city and the
country must unite to bring this
about. SO many things are needed in
carrying on q campaign for the bet
terment of our general interests that
IL has become necessary to drop all
personal ambition and work for the
good OF the great majority.
We need good roads and bridges
and this must be done at the expense
of the taxpayers; therefore, we must
have more lands cleared, more farms
and settlers TO occupy them, so that
taxation may be kept at the minim-
um. Josephine county stands In need
OF thousand families to take up
with us the burdens incident to the
development of this county. That
number Of people will bring in their
train new railroads, many new farms,
orchards, vineyards, also the open
ing OF rich and productive mines.
IL we will work In harmony all Of
these things will come to us In the
very near future
The development or the resources
OF Josephine county will benefit all
classes but none more than the men
who own the farms. The value Of
their holdings will be largely In
Creased II new families to any con-
siderable number locate In the rural
districts, and for this reason all
owners OF land should unite with
the men who represent the mercan-
tile interests In making known to the
world that this is the land of oppor-
tunity for those In search OF homes
and investments. Our rich lands
which are being placed rapidly under
irrigation and our beautiful climate
tell the story which will bring us the
desirable class so much needed II we
Will but make the facts known to the
large army Of homeseekers who are
constantly invading the Pacific
Coast. II the excursion to GalIce and
the Illinois valley help to bring about
united action then they will be of In
estlmable value to our particular
part OF Southern Oregon

love of nature in his soul Is fair-
ly entranced. Change your position
and you see another mountain and
another beautiful picture and so on
until all the points Of the compass
have been covered. All is beautiful
except the names of some OF the
streams, the work Of class of sacri-
legious individuals who marred Gods
own handiwork by such names as
Louise creek, Jump-Off-Joe and
others along the same lines. 1t Is
to the credit Of the last legislature

off the map of the state the last re-
minder Of that class who blighted the
country by the names they left be-
hind them.

A most unique little party was
held at the Presley home on Second
and B streets on Saturday afternoon
probably the only one of the kind
ever held in this city, This party
was given by Grace, the S-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Pres
ley, in honor Of her dog, Sport, on
his second birthday, Grace invited
several of the neighbor dogs to par
ticipate in the celebration of Sport S
birthday, and went with carriage
to bring them over, the canines-for-
tunate enough to receive an invita-
tion being treated in a royal man
ner. On arrival at the Presley home
the doggies were welcomed by joy
full barks from Sport and the after
noon was pleasantly spent and re-
freshments of buns and beefsteak
were served, after which a picture
was taken of the assembled guests.
Late in the afternoon the visitors
were taken to their several homes,
having enjoyed the event to the ut
most, and wishing Sport many happy
returns of the day.

A PICTrRE or nnAIIrY

There are points of beauty around
Grants Pass that are discovered by
visitors which are seemingly never
noticed by the person who resides
here. This class are apparently un-
mindful Of the truly wonderful
mountain scenery which fairly sur
rounds the spot whorcon the city of
Grants Pass is built There is hill
aud dale, mountain and vale. and
deep gorgcs along the Rogue River
to which only the great artists can
do Justice Then there is the small
valleys along tho numerous torrents
which converge near hero to make up
the greater river that has given TO
the valley It's name and the locality
its fame,

the city you may. and gaze In any
direction you will and you behold a
mountain clothed In evergreen OF diff
ferent shades, which makes n picture

Misses Maude and Bessie Cole and
Miss Pauline Coe entertained about
80 of their friends Wednesday even
ing In a juvenile party at the r. l..
Coe home. The invited guests We're
requested to appear in costumes re-
presenting their childhood days and
some of them responded In manner
which left no doubt in the minds of
the assembled guests that those days
were still fresh in their memory.
Among some of the childish guests
were two young Buster Browns, most
closely resembling that young gentle
man in dress and antics, while one
young lady came laden with Teddy
Bears enough to supply the whole
company, had she been so minded,
but which she kept closely clasped in
her arms, refusing to share her
treasures with anybody. There were
young ladies in short dresses with
their hair down in curls and braids,
and young men in knickerbocke
The whole scene closely resembling
a childish gathering, and with dolls
and marbles the evening was merrl-
~ spent. In one part of the room,
little Florence Riddle, in the guise of
a fairy, served punch and animal
cookies to the little ones" Later in
the evening ice cream and cake were
served This was one Of the very
enjoyable parties of the season and
all join in the opinion that 1t is good
to go back to the childhood DAYS oc-
casionally to see how much we real
ly enjoyed ourselves when we were
wee small Youngsters" All those
present vote this the hit of the sea-

INDICATIONS MEAN GOOD TINES.
It is a singular fact that good crops
and good times always come to-
gether under Republican admins
tration. The best crops for many
years are being gathered just now.
The crop report has much to do with
all classes of people and therefore
the government report will be ex-
amined with great interest by those
who are wishing for good times
which always come when farmers
have bumper crops.
The government crop report for
July makes very pleasant reading
for the country. Reduced into plain
terms it indicates yield of 9,l6l,-
600 900 bushels of corn, 100000
bushels of wheat, 963,000,00O bush
els of oats, 32,0O0,0O0 bushels Of rye,
and 184,000,000 bushels of barley.
Except in the single item Of wheat
this Is lead over 1908, and the fall
ing off in wheat is only 100000
bushels. Save in 1902 and 1906, the
oats crop promises to break all re-
cords. Barley is fer ahead of the
biggest crop Of the past.
with the tariff soon to be placed
upon the statute book, and with
crops assured which will be much
above any harvested in the past, the
outlook for an early return of pros
perity ought to be bright enough to
please the most pessimistic,

THF FARMER AND MERCHAN7

THE FARMER AND MERCHANT.
II will be seen that r. g. Scott
takes up the subject In this issue OF
the Courier of the treatment of the
country people by the town and deals
with Il In very conservative man
ner. The Courier has no part in this
controversy except to say that Mr..
Lucke, whose letter appeared last
week is in error regarding farmers
being required to take out license
to sell their products in town, Even
those who sell meat at retail are not
required to have license 1t Is now
I'm order to hear from some of our
merchants. Had It not been for the
pilgrimage OF this class to the Illinois
valley this week there would have
been an answer to the charges Of Mr.
Lucke from a merchants standpoint
In this issue. 1t Is to be hoped that
the result of this correspondence will
be better understanding between
the farmer and the business men OF
the town. Mr. Scott, 1t strikes us,
makes good suggestion when he
says that the farmers should belong
to the Commercial Club. The facts
are that the interest of both farmer
and merchant are identical This
will be clearly seen by any one who
will study the subject.

Miss Helen Lister celebrated her
fifth annual anniversary at her par
ents' home In the Hotel Josephine
annex, on Tuesday afternoon. About
35 little guests were present to do
honor to the occasion and from to
6 O'Clock the little folks enjoyed
themselves in a manner highly salts
factory to themselves and most graft
flying to all who saw them. The
party was held on the beautiful,
shady lawn at the Lister home and
the dainty refreshments of ice cream
and cake were served by Mrs. Lister
to the little ones while they were
seated in a circle on the grass. Little
Miss Lister proved herself a very
pleasing hostess and received many
beautiful gifts from her little guests,
and she, as well as they will always
remember with delight the jolly good
time enjoyed on Tuesday afternoon.
