some apprehension the recent appoint
ing of the school committee by the
Governor "to revise and amend" the
constitution and statutes Of this state.
Now is the time for the negroes to
be active and not wait until it is

The playing of the Olympia band
Sunday for the Knights of Pythias
was the best that has been here for
years, even when compared with
white union bands that have served
on similar occasions in other years.
This band is our own, composed OF
our home boys, and carries with il
the best wishes of many relatives and
friends of the players. 1t has further
the sentimental interest that attaches
to the attempts of members of the
race to succeed. The Statesman calls
attention to its superior work in order
to increase the number of its friends
and well-wishers. Other orders may
well follow the Knights in using this
band when they parade.

DEATH OF HARVEY w. SCOTT

The death OF Harvey w. Scott last
Sunday evening at Baltimore, where
he went for surgical treatment, was
an event which has saddened many
homes, for his name has been fami-
liar In every household in Oregon for
nearly half century. As editor of
the leading newspaper In the state
he held high place, not only in this
commonwealth but in all the Paci-
fic Coast states, and was known
from the Pacific to the Atlantic, en-
ioying reputation such as comes to
the lot OF few He ranked with the
groat editors Of the past century,
the half dozen Of the leaders In the
newspaper world. Men should be
known by their works, and II meas
ured by this test he would be en-
titled to occupy a place on the
brightest page OF our history of
journalism. Oregon has had its
great men from the days OF It's ear
ly settlement and they have contrib
uted much to insure its present high
place among the sisterhood Of states,
yet among them all none have done
better service than H. w. Scott. His
work will live after him in the warm
glow OF the bright sunshine OF pros
perity, which he did so much to
bring about IN Oregon.
Politically Mr.. Scott led the party
OF his choice, never yielding to pub
lie clamor, or the demands OF those
who would change the policies in
every campaign. He was at all times
straightforward in his editorial ut
terances and even his bltterest poll
tlcal foes honored him for his out
spoken sentences and his honesty Of
purpose As a citizen his life and
character reflected credit on the
commonwealth OF Oregon, giving
him leading position among those
who labored for the public good. He
set the highest standard for news
paper work and ennobled the call
ing by his devotion to the profession
he followed His methods in the
journalistic field will he the aim Of
the best editorial minds Of the fu-
ture and this same standard will be
used hy Oregonians in Judging the
success or failure Of newspaper
work.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 70, 1910.
COUNTY ASSEMBLY EXCEEDED
ITS AUTHORITY.

There seems TO be considerable
dissatisfaction with the late county
assembly on the ground that II ex-
ceeded II authority. The chairman
OF the republican county committees
called for the election OF delegates
TO "a county assembly for the pur-
pose OF choosing delegates to the
state assembly at Portland" The
assembly met and while in session
elected the Representatives to Port
land and further voted to recon-
mend that county ticket be made
at that time, This raised q storm In
the meeting, as quite number OF
delegates were opposed to such ac-
tion, and among others was the
chairman OF the county central COM
mittee, but majority favored the
motion TO name county ticket The
result OF this action Is that many re-
publlcans are dissatisfied and say
they will pay no attention to the rec
ommendatlon They very Justly
claim that II county ticket Is to be
recommended the chairman Of the
republican county central committee
should call an assembly for that pur-
nose.
The Courier has had occasion to
talk with number Of the candl-
dates on this so-calod county ticket,
and each OF these gentlemen has eX-
pressed himself as having been OPP
posed to the usmpatlon Of author
Ity by the assembly, but consented to
the proposition when a majority Of
the delegates voted In favor OF the
plan The facts are that the dele
gated authority under the call only
extended 20 the choosing Of state
delegates, and further action was
unwdrrantod The motion 10 name

should have hocn so declared by the

stands great Injustice has been done

Is a certainty beyond question. Once
in this country the Hill people will
develop the territory and make the
most Of the railroad situation. They
will be obliged to find an outlet to
the coast and this will be either
from Grants Pass to Crescent City,
or from Grants Pass down the Rogue
river. John R. Allen bought the
Pacific G. Eastern for the Hills and
that he secured the franchises for
his so-called electric line for the
same people there can be little
doubt. Our people will not have
long to wait to be able to discover
for themselves that Grants Pass will
be reckoned with in any railroad
building that may occur In this val
ley in the future. Medford is to be
congratulated for her enviable posi-
tion at the present time in regard to
the Oregon Trunk.

Nothing very remarkable in that
but when it was found on returning
to camp that the animal had been
there before them and had generous

the party started out on the trail to
visit the mines of the district. The
first place visited was the Oriole,
about two miles from Galice, and
here they found work in full blast
at this great producer of wealth The
Oriole Is electric lighted and con-
tains all the latest improved machin-
cry necessary to the equipment Of an
up-to-date mine and several hours
were spent in viewing this interest
ing mining camp. Saturday was
spent at the Almeda mine where the
party had the experience Of going
through the tunnels and down the
shaft 240 feet below the level of the
river. The girls climbed into the
bucket and the two gentlemen and a
guide perched themselves on the rim
holding onto the cable, and they
were lowered into the bowels Of the
earth. The constant dripping Of the
water from the roof and sides of the
shaft gave the party the opportunity
of taking a shower bath while in the
mine, but they would probably have
enjoyed 1t Just as much If they had
taken the precaution Of putting on
their bathing suits before starting
All were good natured, however, and
were willing to take the slight
/ drawbacks along with their pleasure
Even when they were suspended high
in the air on being hauled up from
the shaft, they enjoyed the joke just
as much as the fun-loving miners
who perpetrated it, At this mine
work was also progressing rapidly

Mrs. Fannie Borchert returned
Sunday evening to her home in this
city, after some time spent in Oak
land and other parts Of California,
visiting with her brother, Elmer,
and other relatives and friends.
J. A. Bradford, wife and three
children, from Sweetwater, Texas,
are in Grants Pass on visit to Mrs.
Bradford's cousin, Mrs. Jewell, wife
Of Judge Stephen Jewell. Mr.. Brad

and the mine is well equipped for
extensive mining operations.
Another interesting sight was the
government suspension bridge over
Rogue river, about ten miles below
Galice. This is a very pretty spot
and some fine views were taken of
the bridge. Pictures were also taken
along the route, from the jumping
of the dam on first leaving Grants
Pass to the loading of the boat to
be hauled to Merlin for shipment
back to this city Sunday evening,
July 81, there being between 80 and
40 views taken in all.
Five days were spent on this novel
trip, every minute of which was en-
ioyed by the party, and besides the
distinction of being the first ladies
to go down to the 240-foot level In
the Almeda mine, the girls declare
this to be the most thoroughly en-
joyable trip they have ever taken,
and of course no comments are ne
cessary from the gentlemen.
The young people returned to this
city Sunday evening, trifle tired,
perhaps, with a little heavier coat
of tan than they started with, but
very enthusiastic with the success
and pleasure of their outing.

At Atlantic City Tennessee avenue

however, told by teamsters whom
we questioned that It was very slip
perry in wet weather and that horses
frequently fell on It. 4 gentleman
whom we asked told us that this
pavement cost SS.29 per square
yard. We noticed some brick paw.
ing around the railroad station and
in the alleys, some OF which was
good and some showed the result OF
wear and tear and was very rough
and uneven.

business street, was paved with btu
