WORK ON COUNTY ROADS

The county court, having spent several days of this
month looking over the roads in various directions it is
fair to expect considerable amount of work on our
highways in the future, This will please the people
if the work is of the right kind and when it peases the
taxpayers it is certain to please The Courier. 1t is
to be hoped this year that the public work will be along
good road lines and that shall have more filling
in with material in the summer to make mud roads In the
winter There has been good work done the road
to Galice and there is to follow If the county
court will at order welveon roller it will be en-
abed to make better roads by half than possibly be
done without such a machine,
Many people both in the country and city are watch
ing with interest the work the half mile of road from
the Grants Pass steel bridge south This was to be- the
friends of the court said specimen of what could be
done by this administration but unfortunately il was
not convenient to go and finish the job when it was
started and the result is no one can tell the plans
of the court just what the mode road will be when
completed The standard fixed for this particular piece
of highway is so high that there is opportunity to dis
appoint many people it the plans and purposes fall short
of what is expected The taxpayers of the county want
good roads and are willing to pay for them.

ACT TOGETHER AND SECURE IRRIGATION

Every possible effort is being made to organize the
irrigation district and it is thought by of the friends
of the movement that the petition to the county court will
be ready to present to the Hon. Stephen jewell the
judge of this court, in a very few days If the district
is organized arrangement will be made to secure the
water for our bitches with little delay as possible
There never was a community which appreciated the
value OF irrigation than Grants Pass does today
The real truth is the people want irrigation and if
money will secure it they ready to furnish it in abnd
ance without delay, The Courier has for many months
urged the uniting of all interests to bring about the fur
nshing of water for the farms of the valley At times
this seemed very hard to accomplish but of late the
management of this paper has been more hopeful and
now if the people will organize the irrigation district
there will be no delay in securing at least temporary
water supply Let all work to this end and make irr
cation success. Water means the prosperity of our
farmers and we all know that the farmer is the corner
stone of prosperity for the city Let us stop sending
abroad for our hay and grain If the people so will it
we can have the water running in our bitches within
the next six weeks All that is necessary is to pull to-
gether Irrigation means prosperity for both city and
country.

SPREAD TRUTH FAR AND WIDE

Those who read the interview with NJ Anderson, the
former supervisor of the Sskyou forest reserve in Thurs
days Courier regarding the mining district which sur
rounds the Higgins strike pleased with the nforma-
ton learned about that part of the county 1t the opn
ion of Mr. Anderson that the Higgins mine nearly the
center Of rich mineral country which is fully forty miles
miles square and that much Of has been prospect
ed The facts made known in this interview are new to
very large majority of the people of Grants Pass and
therefore the information given most desirable at this
particular time
Josephine county should render every possible assist
ance to the prospecors who going into that section
and to be hoped that the county court will investigate
the praccabty of building roads so as to make as large
district as possible accessible If prospectors and men
of capital aided by this to develop the country
It will increase the taxable wealth of the county to very
large extent The time has for us to do what
to make this mining country help toward building up
the county seat and therefore, little assistance in the way
of road building will count for much in upward and
onward growth
The time is near at hand when the Grants Pass Com

which points out clearly that we are on the eve OF mineral
discoveries which will great wealth to the people OF
Josephine county, and especially to the business men Of
Grants Pass We must get busy and stay with this prop

promising prospects which are in the country spoken Of
Prompt action on our part will result in bringing the
cessnry capital and to insure early development
The county court aid much and the Commercial club
do great service to the business interests of this city
securing reliable information which it vouch for and
sending it broadcast the country. All the mining

gold excitement as the development of the country TO the
south of us is all important to this entire secton and es-
pecally to the county seat But in doing so no over
statement of facts must be permitted 1t is not an exa
geration to say that many millions of dollars in gold Will
in all probability be taken out of the country tributary to
the headwaters of the Illinois River There is every evl-
dence and has been for years. that gold in paying guam

and this same is true, even today IN quartz as well
as other mining We have millions of gold on deposit In
everlasting hills placed there to our credit by the
Almighty and this wealth is for those who have the wis
dom and energy to secure it.
1t is all important for Grants Pass to go before the
country with all the facts in the to the end that our
mines may be developed To do this intelligently we
must investigate for by this only give the
needed information to the country at large.
