the land, for the house cost less
than a thousand dollars 10 years
ago. OF course the street work,
sewer and taxes cost something,
but not so much as rent, and that
poor man made what was a fortune
to him. Anybody who wants to
see the piece of land that did this
can go out and look at the homely
little place that brought such good
luck TO its first owner. for the
house still stands there just as it
was when he lived in it.
G. L. Russell of the firm of Smith
Russell & Co, prominent Richmon
district real estate dealers, gives a
instance of the increase of land. with
in block of their offices at Sixtl
avenue and California street.
A year ago l bought a lot in
California street between Fifth and
Sixth avenues, with the idea of
building an apartment house,
living in one fat myself and
renting the rest. paid $4,000
for the lot and put up a
model mission style apartment
house with two flats and store on
ground floor. | now find property
has increased so fast that it is
more profitable to rent or sell the
place and live elsewhere. The land
alone on which my building stands
is now worth $4,000, and it brings
rental of $l,250 a year
Another party bought a lot in
that same block for 81. 500 with the
idea of building a home on it, but
Within six months he sold it when
the tempting offer of $4,000 was
made TO him. Now he has bought
another lot for $4,000 on California
street a few blocks farther out
where he intends to build.
Such instances as these go to shov
that real estate bought for homes il

pest investments any one can make

The Pacific good roads movement which has for its
object the construction of continuous frstclass high

south as possible the Pacific slope appears to be very
successful so far representative of that association
attended the Good Roads convention held at Portland
December T. and asked the body of Oregon good roads
advocates to help extend the highway across Oregon The
delegates admitted the Importance of the movement but
thought best to confne their efforts first to the work Of
building the much needed roads in the counties of OREGON
and to later take up the interstate movement Grants
Pass is deeply interested in the construction of the So
called Pacific highway this city must be made an i'm
portmt station on the modern trunk line, which will be
used by thousands of automobile tourists for many
months in each year The supplies to be furnished and
the MOTEL patronage from the source will amount in
the aggregate to large sum- The people of Josephine
county should do all in their power to help the construc
ton OF this important road 1t happens that will be
easy to build it will be the old California stage road

REFORMS THAT ARE BADLY NEEDED

this state considerable of farce and that the law
governing them is fifty years behind the times The
Courier called attention to this law after the late school
election which occasion less than dozen people voted
the expenditure of 0O This was not because citizens
of the district did not take interest in school matters
but for the they had not been informed of the cleo
tion The law evidently framed before newspapers
were known in Oregon the law provides that written
notices of school elections must be posted three places
and consequently those who did not these advertise
mens would have knowledge of the election The leg
slae should attend to this matter at the coming ses
sion, for it disgrace to the state of Oregon School
meetings should be advertised far and wde so as to reach
every tax payer
While on this line The Courier desires to mention an
other matter which "needs fixing and that is the char

Mayoreec Myers mentioned this subject few davs ago

an empire south of Grants Pass would rise to remark that
the line should have been built long ago and when

to the prosperity of the Rogue river valley it sounds to
them like trfng and the average booster who has in
