ROAD TO KERBY IS STILL
AN UNSETTLED QUESTION

Many rumors have been heard as
to when the Grants Pass and West
ern would be built and as to what its
western terminus would be. Rail-
road officials who knew nave been
like spnlnxes however, and it has
been all guess work
The Courier is in a position to in
form its readers authoritatiyely,
however, that the fact whether or
not the road will be built is still an
undecided question. The second au-
thoritaiive announcement that The
Courier can make is that the road
will only be built, for the present at
least, as far as Kerby
The Courier's source Of informa-
tion is a gentleman high In the con-
fidence of the officials of the Harri-
man system, who has recently re-
turned from a trip to New York city,
where he met some Of the highest Of
ficials Of the Hartman system.
This gentleman has interests in
the Rogue river valley and he accord
ingly used his opportunities to find
out what was doing, with the result
above mentioned.
He learned that the surveyors of
the line between Grants Pass and
Kerby had been instructed to make
a permanent survey and to do their
work so completely that accurate es-
Inmates could be made from maps
and profiles that will be filed Then
the computations, maps and other
data will be presented to the higher
officials Of the Hartman roads ear
ly this spring or this winter and a
final decision will be made as to the
building of feeder to Kerby or
some other point in the Illinois val
ley A through line to the coast has
never been contemplated by the Har-
riman interests
This is all borne ont by the actions
of the corps Of surveyors now on the
Job They have located line to q
point short distance beyond Kerby
and have cross-sectloned that portion
of the line and have made a complete
and final survey The party when
il left Grants Pass ran hurried line
across the decomposed granite ter
ritory short distance from town.
When the work in the Illinois valley
and over Hayes hill was completed,
the party changed it's base Of opera
tions and It is now engaged IN cross,
soctioni2ing the line across the gran
ito flats
All the curves are being put IN and
permanent grade stakes OF iron are
being used All these things 30 to
bear out the truth of the opinions cx-
pressed by the man who has Just rec
turned from q visit to those high I'm
tho councils Of che railroad.

Knoxville, Tenn.-''If you had seen
me, before 1 began TO take Cardui. you
would not think I was the same per-
son." writes Mrs. Mamie Towe, of 1O2
W. Main St, this city.
Six doctors failed TO do me good. and
my friends thought 1 would die could
hardly get out of bed or walk a step.
At last, an old lady advised me to
take Cardui, and now 1 can go most

The secret of lasting health is:
regularity.
If a clock does not tick regularly
and evenly, it is out of order and soon
wears out, or runs down. If all your
functions are not regular and natural,

WANTS NO MoDERNIzED BIBLE
King James Version the Best Of All,
Says Writer In Success
Magazine.

We are just old-fashfoned enough to
take no stock in the modernized Bible
which is shortly to appear, "oouched in
everyday language, with obsolete
words and phrases eliminated" The
King James Bible has done more to
preserve the good old Saxon words and
style, which are the best English lit
erature has produced, than anything
else. Instead of a movement to get
US further away from that vigorous.
simple, classic style, and in the inter
est of establishing the finest literary
ideals possible to a people destined to
use the curious hybrid which the Eng
lish language has become, 1t would be
more sensible to frown upon all efforts
to improve on the King James Bible.
