bearing message of sympathy and good will.
1t was beautiful thought, gracefully express
ed. Mr.. Busher deeply appreciates the thought
fitness of his friends in this as we'll as in so
many other kind acts shown him since he has
been sick. With the cards came the following
lines from one of the gifted sisters of the
Grange:
TO BROTHER NJ. E. BUSHER.
Dear friend and brother, bound by the ties
Where all Grange hearts in sympathy beat
May God, our Father, who is ever wise,
Restore your strength with health complete.
No doubt to-day you are looking back
To the victories and battles won
Ger some hard worn, well beaten track,
Meath the hot rays of scorching sun,
Where you so bravely fought for Right
To save our country and its flag.
May its stars for you shine more bright
And its floating stripes never sag
But ever float out on the breeze
For every new Memorial day
With the music Of birds and the trees.
May it live forever and aye
With its memory today fresh and new.
With it's silken stripes, white and red,
While the stars ever shine in the sky of blue
We will bow to this flag as sacred.
Sacred through the loss of comrades and friends
Who left their homes this flag to save
Well honor their names till time shall end
By placing bright flowers upon their graves.
Today you will be showered with post cards,
May their reading give you much pleasure;
May no worry or illness retard
The joy in your heart while you treasure
These tokens of respect and love
Sent by kind sisters and brothers,
Be as rich blessings sent from above
To you while trying to help others.
The world is made better and brighter
All life is made sweeter today
By the thought that some burden is lighter
With the bright sun shining the way
Well leave you in Gods safe keeping,
For we feel that "He knoweth best"
He'll watch DER you, waking or sleeping
And when your years are numbered here
You need not be troubled or fear
You will be given seat among the blest,
You will hear the glad welcome at last
When all sorrow and trouble is past,
Enter thou who vert faithful and true j,
Into sweet rest through the sky of blue.
That these hastily penned lines may be of
some comfort to you while ill and shut-in from
the outside is the wish of your friend,
MRS. H. M. AVER.

able number of adults and the child
rem from the public schools were In
waiting to hear the congressman.
On arriving there Chairman Glenn
ents introduced to his new audience
Mr. Hawley. who at once resumed
his speech, with explanations Of what
had been said at the club rooms.
After finishing his remarks on what
he would try to do for Grants Pass
and Vicinity, he turned to the school
children and made most acceptable
talk to them. His remarks were
founded on the Importance of truth
fulness as the foundation Of charac-
ter, and related instances in con-
gress to prove that truthfulness and
honesty were the essential things in
character building The speech
proved very interesting from first
to last and will be long remembered
by those present.
The visit of Mr. Hawley to Grant:
Pass was a most acceptable incident
in the every day life of the people
of our city,
He left on the northbound even
ing train.

PUMPING WATER
FOR IRRIGATION

Or. Kimbley, the osteopathic physl-
clan who came here from California,
knows something about irrigation,
and he was accordingly piled with
questions along this line by a repre-
sentative OF the Courier, and finally
was induced to talk, though he per-
sisted that he would not think OF
saying anything for publication AS
he thought there were others who
have given the subject more attention
than he could claim.

1t having been prepared by numer-
Gus Auxiliary ladies who are noted
as experts in the culinary art. The
best of everything that goes to make
up dinner for welcome guests was
served. There were $50 seated at the
first tables and fully as many more
at the second, not counting the little
ones who were strongly in evidence.
After the guests were seated Presi-
dent Hall from the head of the room
welcomed the visitors to the city,
and the club and to their festive
board. While the dinner proceeded
the orchestra, composed of r. l..
Demaree, DR.. VanDyke, Fred Che
shire, Jos. Wharton, NJ. A. Newell
and Arthur Frier, with Victor Newell
at the piano discoursed sweet music,
adding much to the harmony and en-
joyment of the occasion. Mayor Kin
ney presented the key of Grants Pass
to the guests and bid them hearty
welcome to the municipality, Judge
Jewell also made an acceptable talk
All the speakers were applauded.
After all had been served the ladies
and gentlemen enjoyed a social hour
in the numerous rooms of the club
and Ladies' Auxiliary. After the
social visit the club officials an
nounced that all the theaters of the
city had been chartered for the use
of their guests during the afternoon,
All accepted the courtesy and the
balance of the day sped away in a
highly entertaining manner. After
the theater the guests assembled at
the railroad park and enjoyed the
daylight fireworks provided for the
occasion. This was declared to be an
excellent display and proved very
enjoyable. Then, with many re-
grets, came the parting hour, wher
the friends were obliged to turn thtil
faces homeward. Before leaving
there were numerous expressions o.
kindly feeling toward those who on
tertained them, as they expressed ii
80 royalty" and there were man!
expressions of good will and kindl,
remembrance. This was one OF tn
most important events in the socia
history of the city, and it is to b
hoped that much good will groy
out of it to the people OF both tn
city and country.

REMEMBERED WITH
SOUTHERN GRAPES

C. p. Bishop, formerly mayor OF

lem Wooden Mills store, and now con-
ducting clothing business at Grants
Pass. has remembered some OF MS
friends the past week with sample
baskets of very fine Josephine county
Tokay grapes. The fruit is very
choice, and why anyone should want
to eat California grapes when such
perfect fruit can be grown IN our
own state is mystery, Mr. Bishop

PROMINENT PENNSYLVANIA is
HIGHLY PLEASED
GREATLY ENHANCED VALUE
Owners Of Property Received Offer
of $4,000 More Than Was
Paid for Ranch.

w. +. Hill, Of Huntingdon, Pa,
one of the syndicate who purchased
the Riggs-Miller ranch at the mouth
of the Applegate, arrived at this city
on Monday morning to look over
the big property which has since Its
purchase caused so much comment
throughout the country. After view
ing the ranch and carefully examin-
ing 1t in all parts he Is highly pleased
with the place and seems to think
that It's value has been under, ra-
ther than over rated. He was not on
" pleased with the ranch but with
the Rogue River valley, the climate
and surroundings.
Mr., Hill Is one Of the prominent
men of Pennsylvania, having been
for ~ years trustee OF the state
agricultural college, II years master
of the state grange, and on two sep
arate occasions has been one OF the
three men appointed by the president
to represent the United States at the
International Institute Of Agriculture
held In Rome, Italy, He Is president
of the Grange Trust Co., OF Hunting
don, which is a strong financial In
stitution.
A man of Mr.. Hill's large expert
ence In agricultural matters Is well
qualified to take leading part In
the development Of one OF the larg
est, as we'll as one Of the best farms
in Southern Oregon. He views agri
culture and fruit growing. not as
fad, but as a practical business. III
says he will come here to lear'
: Southern Oregon methods and do nj
> part In the upbuileing OF this par
> of the Rogue River valley.
Speaking Of the price OF the ranch
) which was $4,000, he thought h
> and his associates were well repre-
sented in the person OF Mr.. Sober
who made the purchase, for sine
N that time they have been offere
e s123,a00 for the property. Que
J. toned regarding the purchase i
IT said that after having been abroa
- twice and seen much Of foreign cou'
II tries, and having been in most OF Il
N states at home, he felt that, viewir
IL II from a practical standpoint, TN
~ the property embraced more pos'
10 bilitIes in agricultural value In
Ia soil, water, market and climate, thu
Iis he had found In an equal numb
no of acres elsewhere. Mr.. Hill and ]
OF associates will improve the proper
al the coming season along the lin
ar which have already been mention
re in the Courier. These gentlemen W
er do much for the Rogue River vail
ed in the way OF development. IL
lg' not speculation with them, but le
he innate farming and fruit grown
ily They represent that thrifty cli
yet known as the Penhsylyanian Dut'
ng the men who have done more
eet farm development in their state u

Conklin Residence Burglarized.

Some one entered the residence OF
Arthur Conklin, publisher OF the
outlook, on Thursday night and ran
sacked the premises, taking silver
teapot and half-doZen silver spoons,
and threw other valuable articles out
OF the windows to the ground with
the evident intention Of carrying
them away. It so happened that
Harold and little Marion had gone 10
bed I'm the tent and the latter child
was heard crying in the yard and this
evidently alarmed the burglars VINO
fled without carrying away more OF
their plunder. The night marshal
was promptly called but no burglar
WAS found. though footprints were
discovered in the soft dirt OF flower
he'd uAder a window. This occurred
shortly after Z o'clock in the evening
One OF the mysterious features OF the
case Is that little Marion, who is only
n wear and one-half old. and not yet
able 10 walk, was found cryinf
standing in the yard some 20 fee
from the tent, although she had beer
nut to bed In a crib with high sides
II was at first thought ny the famil!
that It was case OF attempted kid
mapping. though Mr.. conklin. whit
was attending the baptist Confer
ence at Roseburg and returned Fri
day noon, Is at loss to explain thi
feature OF the case.
