AN EASTERN EDITOR
MARVELS AT PROGRESS

Greenville (Mich.) Independent.
A. f. VOORHEES, is making a great
success as a newspaper publisher.
Taking charge of The Grants Pass
(Oregon) Courier while it was strug-
Cling for existence, he built it up un-
til 1t became deseryedly the best
paper in Josephine county, leading
all others in circulation and influ-
ence And that is not all by any
means. He constructed new build
ing in a prominent part of the city
and moved into 1t his plant, a plant
which has been enlarged by large
newspaper press and Mergenthaler
No. 8 linotype machine. the only one
in the county, and other equipment
needed in an office of rapidly in
creasing business.
And now comes to our desk The
Grants Pass Daily Courier. a marvel
of enterprise for city no larger than
Greenville but quite important as
the largest place in Josephine coun-
ty and its county seat.
Grants Pass and Josephine county
have been important for years on ao-
count of its gold mines and mining
industries; and later the region has
greatly grown In Importance because
of its fine prospects as to fruit culti-
walton with irrigation; and latest the
probabilities that a railroad running
through new region will be built Of
which Grants Pass will be a terminal
So bright looks the future Of
Grants Pass and Josephine county
and all contiguous territory that Mr.,
Voorhies thought that establishing q
daily newspaper to advertise all It's
numerous attractions to settlers and
persons looking around for places to
invest capital would be an enterprise
that would receive liberal patronage
from the people It benefits. It must
have good patronage to succeed, for
such an enterprise is costly first as
an investment and then to pay It's
current expenses. No town In Mich.
igan of its size of which we have
knowledge has a paper the cost OF
whose publishing Is so great.
We are sure that, were we resi-
dent of Grants Pass, we would hail
its advent with Joy, even II for moth.
ing else-and there is much else OF
good we can not stop to mention
for opportunity to read the news OF
the world before It is state comine
in on Portland or San Francisco
trains hours after their publication
The sense Of being in touch with the
world Is worth much and the Grants
Pass people are now In touch Will
the world by means Of the press dis
patches by special leased wire pub
lshed in The Daily Courier.

-nents will almost certainly determine
within the twelve month period.
The further fact mat there is nov
a case pending on appeal affecting
mis- very matter would probably move
the city not to insist on t.:is work
being done until the appeal is deter
mined. AS this may happen in any
where from sixty days to twelve
lnenths, it would seem that but little
time would be lost in any event by
granting the stay asked FOX: while
the effect of a definite stay of twelve
months would ease h minds of the
property owners and let them know
exactly Waen ~ work has to be one
and enable them to get ready for il.
The matt4- OF water connection
with lead pipe instead of steel pipe
should be attended to ahead of any
of these permanent improvements.
There are many other such reasons
as this tina would make it appear
that this period of Suspension asked
for might be probably employed;
.lat il might result in great convcn-
fence and saving to many people, and
that it could not possibly hurt or in
convenience n one.

WELLS AND RATEMAN GIVE
~ REASONS FOR NOT WIDEN

L. s. Bateman and W. T.. Wells APP
peared before the council Tuesday
night in behalf of property owners on
Main street, and asked hat the e
forcement of the law in regard 20 the
widening of tae sidewalks and change
in awnings be suspended for twelve
months. They make this request for
the following ason
That at the present time money
matters are very close, N the prin-
cipal local sources of income do not
become available until later in the
year and that the s~emi-annual taxes
would be falling due Just as this york
should begin, as the law now stands
and that fact alone will make tae
distress acute enough. That the city
is at such a period n it's growth that
the ensuing twelve months is likely
to develop a necessity for other i'm
provements which should go in sim
u~ltaneously with the widening of the
walks, should such become necessary,
,nasnuch as the whole improvement.
If made together. could be made rel
ativelv very much cheaper.
That there is a strong probability
that certain investments affecting our
streets may be made by outside CAPT
tai which would divide the burden of
these improvements and the leading
features controlling these develop
