Lasting Influence.

Though always engaged in CONNER
cial undertakings, Colonel Albert
Pope, who has just died, was endowed
with an insight so acute and a spirit
so broad that, though he was not
lucky in his later years, the whole
country realizes that a great Ameri-
can has passed away and the work of
a great benefactor has ceased. d
Colonel Pope before other men saw
the possibilities of bicycle manufac-
ture and as quickly saw the benefit
and necessity Of good roads in a coun-
try of vast wealth and UNANIMOUSLY bad
roads. 1t was not a cleaning dis
covery, but the energy with which he
devoted himself to the propaganda
produced one Of the tremendous move
ments of his period. He made ready
the way for the automobile in Amer
lea. His labors were potent in Great
ing among the general population a
desire for the advantages of smooth
and hard highway surfaces. His was
a great personality. whose influence
will for a century be plain on the face
of the land.

Hot weather safeguards.

TdHlPtOH . "asoA'h0
Safety from the danger of heat pros
tration may be almost positively secured
by observing the following rules:
Make your work as light as possible.
Wear only the lightest clothing and as
few garments as the law allows.
Fake a cold bath every morning and a
tepid one every afternoon.
Eat sparingly, principally fresh vegeta-
bles, stunning all fats and starchy foods,
avoiding the deadly fruit salad and taking
no fruit which has not been either washed
OF peeled Immediately before it is served.
Sleep, II it is possible, at midday; al
ways stay abed eight hours every night
and always sleep under a mosquito net
ting.
Make your vacation absolutely different
from your daily life.

In their demand on Governor Shall

of Mayor Dahlman and the Omaha

they do not like the governor, This

President Taft's work on The

BY the time the young south and the

chapters of history will have been

Champ Clark's boast of democratic
unity in congress is the text of much
comment in party papers, which omit
the modification that the democrats in
congress had next to nothing to do.
They bitterly complained because
Payne would not give them a chance
and, again, because the senate finance
committee reported without taking
them into it's confidence. Almost any
thing could be united when paralyzed
and puzzled. Yet the democrats were
not united. The Clark argument
seems to fatten under its own weight.

Last year, it will be remem-
bered, our display Of apples at the
first exhibition of that organization
took a large number Of first premi-
ums and won high rank for the King
Of fruit grown in this county. Our
fruit growers had short notice to
prepare their exhibit and the display
was made under discouraglng cir
cumstances, but this year time must
be taken by the forelock and an ex-
hibit made which will astonish and
please the many thousands who will
visit the second national apple show
This year there will be premiums
amounting to $4,000 offered and
the apple growers of this county can
take enough of this sum to pay the
expense Of making the exhibit twice
over. The Southern Pacific railroad
can be depended upon for assistance
in the way Of transportation for
products we may wish to send to the
show. II is time this subject should
be taken up by our apple growers
and preparations made for choice
selection for an exhibit.

GO AFTER IN NOW.

The mining interests Of Josephine
county are looking up and keeping
pace with the prosperous times
which are promised the country gem
orally There are strong indications
that the whole county Is to enjoy
better times I'm the future. Capital,
which is always timid and never
ventures to invest a dollar unless
certain of returns, is now offering
millions for railroad construction
and industrial investments. These
conditions call for those having min
ing properties in this county for the
development Of which they need
capital to make known their wants
without delay. The money for all
good mining propositions is wait
Ing the call OF the man who owns
the mine.
II the men who have the money
know what Josephine county has to
offer there would be no delay In the
development Of our good mining
propositions. This Is also the time
to commence railroad construction in
this county. No better investments
can be offered than the construction
OF the Illinois Valley railroad or
one down the Rogue river;
both propositions offer almost
unlimited demand for trans
portatlon, This is certainly the
time to call the attention of the capt
talst to conditions as they exist in
this section OF Southern Oregon.
Here is demand for a committee
to be appointed by the Grants Pass
Commercial Club to look after these
most Important mattors Thore are

But let us come back to the sub
ject which our contemporary OF
Bear Creek valley has discussed with
such magical eloquence. We can
see plainly that this threat may do
some good to Medford. For instance,
it may make the Supreme Court
tremble as it reviews the Crater
Lake appropriation case. II the
court can be made to believe that
Southern Oregon under certain cir
cumstances will secede, it will hesi-
tate to confirm the decision OF the
lower court; and then there are
other things.
With the aim and intent of the
Tribune we are, of course, in accord,
but we are old fashioned and don't
like that word secession" Shake
spear says "a rose by any other
name would smell as sweet" Give
it another name, brother, for there
is glorious tradition to the effect
that during the Civil War it was for
time uncertain whether Oregon
would or would not secede indeed
there were people who favored 1t
most earnestly, but the friends OF
the union, including some Of the
founders Of Grants Pass, in the name
of Lincoln and Grant threatened to
hang every northern son Of the Sc
ceders caught, and that put a stop
to it. So much for tradition and Sc
cession. Let's see, call it--well call
It most anything but this forceful re-
minder Of lost cause. Since the
above Tribune editorial appeared
the Grants Pass Observer has come
out and calls it Secession non
sense" and further on it speaks OF
1t as this foolishness." The Bear
Creek organ should make a note Of
this.

A COMMERCIAL CLUB sUBJEC1

A COMMERCIAL CLUB SUBJECT.
It is very gratifying to note the
character Of the men who have Of
late been arriving at Grants Pass in
search Of investments and homes
They are for the most part, persons
of means and know just what they
want. The majority Of them find
satisfactory investments and are
sending good reports back to their
old homes regarding this country. IT
is true that we need more advertising
and the announcement for us TO do
this Is In the fact, as has been stated,
that the men who come are Of the
right sort, only more Of them are
needed with q country like ours,
abounding in opportunities for the
homeseeker to secure health and
wealth, 1t win pay to make known
more extensively what we have to
offer We are certainly not doing
enough at Seattle TO insure MS our
share Of the business that might be
secured in that quarter This sub
ject might adyantageously be taken
up ut the regular monthly meeting
OF the Commercial Club next Mon
day night Time Is flying and If we
are to do anything more now Is the
time. It can be truthfully said that
little or no effort has been made at

to make known the advantages pos
sessed by Josephine county for those
who are looking for homes on the
Coast.
