Il is very fitting that We, as members
OF the White River Pomona Grange, take
cog nizance OF the fact that two OF our
members have fallen from our ranks and
that we record the sense of loss which
their death occasions. Mrs. s. c. Har-
riDgton Of Good VIII grange and Mr..
Waldo Ellis OF Tweed River grange were
both interested and active members and
labored faithfully, so far as they we're
able, for the welfare of the organization.
they we're taken from Us in the midst OF
their activities, making the loss sustained
more keenly felt by Us.
We would commend the families and
relatives OF our deceased co-workers to
the tender watch-care OF our Heavenly
Father and record our thankfulness to
Him for His confused preservation
OF our members.

SUPERVISOR ANDERSON
SENDS In RESIGNATION
The Commercial Club Officials Get
Busy and Wire to Hold Up
Resignation.

Much to the surprise of nearly
everyone in the city, M. ]. Anderson,
supervisor Of the Siskiyou forest re-
serve, resigned his position to take
effect at the end Of the fiscal year,
June the 30th. This announcement
came almost like shock to the
community as Mr. Anderson Is one
Of the most popular men in Grants
Pass. He had made many friends
during his residence in this city and,
having taken up a rather difficult
job In the reserve, he wrought order
out OF confusion and gave the highest
satisfaction to the department. I'm
medlately preceding his appointment
the Siskiyou forest reserve was the
scene OF more or less local adverse
criticism.
When the officers OF the CONNER
cial club learned the fact that Mr.
Anderson had resigned they inquired
the cause and Immediately tele-
graphed TO the chief forester at
Washington, and also to our mem
ber Of congress, Mr. Hawley, regard
ing the matter. The chief forester
promptly replied that Mr. Ander-
sons resignation had not reached
him, but when II did no action would
be taken until the district forester,
c. s. Chairman, would visit Grants
Pass and confer with the officers OF
the commercial club regarding the
matter Mr. Hawley telegraphed
that he would take nm the matter

DAWN OF NEW
ERX IN REHLTY
HnsRO9ue River Land Company Points
the Way to Successful horticulture

This week marks a new era in the
method Of handling real estate busl-
ness In the Rogue River valley, and
the same man who has been respon-
sible for several innovations in the
land business is again sponsor for
the proposition. and that man is w.
B. Sherman. Those who were here
several years ago and remember the
activity created by his untIring ef-
forts will watch with interest for
tAe results Of the present system.
Mr. Sherman has long had his
eye on the fertile fruit lands lying
between Grants Pass and Merlin,
most OF which have been heretofore
devoted to the growth OF oak, pine,
fir, manzanlta and brush. During
the summer he interested Kansas
city people, and as a result, visitors
20 that district are surprised TO see
men and teams and a galnt donkey
engine cutting a wide swath in the
timber and making ready for the
planting OF orchards and vineyards in
this favored section Of the Rogue
River valley.

LARGE TONNAGE CAN BE HAD AT
AINiEDA AND OTHER MINES
WILL INCREASE BUSINESS
The Live Railroad Committee of the
Commercial Club Has Business
in Charge.

Great activity is looked for the
coming spring at Galice, not few
of the properties will be worked ex-
tensively if conditions can be brought
about so as to insure transportation
and large force will be employed on
the Almeda and it will become a
great producer of copper and gold.
Other mines in the district are also
dependent on a practical solution of
the transportation problem and it is
generally believed that John R. AL
len can be induced to extend his cleo
trio road from Grants Pass, through
Merlin and to Galice. This will
place the Hill roads in touch with the
heaviest tonnage that can be found at
any point in Southern Oregon. Those
who know Mr.. Aliens plans and pur-
poses give it as their opinion that he
will take kindly to this proposition
which will be submitted to him in the
early days Of March. The Almeda
alone can make a contract which
will pay transportation company to
build a road from Grants Pass to that
mine.
The railroad committee of the Com
mercial Club have this matter in
hand and they will confer with Mr..
Allen as soon as he returns here
from New York, which will be in
about six weeks. The club will have
all the facts and figures relating to
the probable annual tonnage Of eight
or ten of the leading mines from the
Galice which can be reached by such
a railroad. The business men of
Grants Pass are thoroughly aroused
TO the necessity Of connecting Galice
TO this city by railroad, as 1t will
largely increase all lines Of business
here at once and eventually bring
millions OF dollars for the develop
ment OF the famous mining camp
down Rogue river.
AS has been mentioned in a previ-
Gus issue Of the Courier, large
amount OF foreign capital will be in
vested IN Galice mines this spring
and that mining camp will become
active In both placer and quartz min
ing within the next few weeks. The
prosperity OF that camp can be made

ness In Grants Pass. Since the ex-

welcome has been so enthusiastic and
hearty at Grants Pass, that had we
not bought our tickets to Los Angeles
and return, l have no doubt but what
a large part would desert the train
and stop here.
Our object in making these trips
Is not entirely for recreation, but in
order that We might see the coun-
try traversed by this road and that
part of Southern Oregon concerning
which the world is now hearing so
much.
I'VE appreciate your resources and
believe much that is told us and for
that reason we feel that 1t is more
important that we should see you
than that you should see us. I am
reminded of story of a man who
came to the show and he had a fami-
ly OF twelve children. When the
door keeper saw him he said, Are
these all yours?' and he answered,
Yes You can walk in without any
admission to see the hippopotamus,
for | believe it is more important
that the hippopotamus should see
you and your family than that you
should see it,
II have listened to what your
speaker has said concerning your re-
sources, but as came along the road
| noticed one resource of which he
has not spoken, and which | have
never heard exploited, What | re-
fer to Is the countless number Of
oak trees that cover your hillsides,
and on these oak trees we saw myr-
lad of mistletoe. If that was in our
country, all would be advertised. We
would lay out and maintain lovers
lanes wherever we found those oaks
with the mistletoe?"
At this point the speakers re-
marks were ended because the
blew for the train to move
on.
