PART OF CHARTER
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Mayor-elect r. G. Smith plans to
have removed or amended some por-
tions of the charter of Grants Pass,
which he denounces as unconstitu-
tional, too crude and gunglesome.
Regarding this he today said to the
Courier:
"The article In The Courier of
yesterday concerning my eligibility
to the office Of mayor calls to my
mind the absurdity of some pfovis-
ions in the present charter, char
ter prepared by men Who had no
qualification for the work and were
not of very great mental cailbre.
THE present provision hat one
must own real estate before he is
qualified for the Office OF mayor is
not only unconstitutional and void,
but absurd. The absurdity rests in
the fact that man might OWL
three-fourths of the stock in all of
our banks and not be eligible, while
the owner of a ten dollar lot is
qualified.
"The provision referred to is un-
constitutional, as every lawyer
knows. The constitution Of this state
provides that no law shall be passed
granting privileges to one class of
citizens that are not granted to all
citizens; Art. /, Sec. 20.
This charter provision is one of
several of like character that l shall
endeavor to have stricken from that
instrument during the ensuing
year."

JOSEPHINE HOTEL co.
TAKES UP OPTION

The Josephine sHotel company, a
corporation. the stock of which is
owned two-thirds by the Metschan
brothers and the remainder by a
group OF Grants Pass business men,
and which was formed to conduct the
new Hotel Josephine, has closed a
deal whereby the corporation pur-
chases for cash from f. H. Blake the
remodeled building and the site.
180x75 feet, for consideration of
$4,000.
The hotel company leased the
building at date In midsummer
OF this year, and at an expense of
about $4,000, practically rebuilt
the interior OF the hotel, making 1t
one OF the most moders hostelries
on the coast. Thus the purchase
price for the property, 100000, and
the remodeling cost of 100000,
means an outlay Of $4,000 for the
property. DR.. Metschan stated last
night that the figures may total
something more than this sum. The
house now contains SO rooms, in
cluding the annex.
Mr.. Blake purchased the old Ho-
tel Josephine about 1S months ago at
price said to have been $22, 900.
Thus he has made a profit of $4,000
In that time, in addition to rent
collected from the hotel company
and business rooms since the compile
tion Of the place.
The Josephine company had leas-
cd the house for period Of Is years,
with the privilege of buying 1t for
100000 within two years. Now
however, @ith less than two months
in buslnes the hotel company has
taken up lie option and is now the
owner of the entire property. One
OF the principals stated yesterday
that the company could lease out
the plant at figure that would re-
turn 10 per cent on the investment.
DR.. Metschan. discussing the sale,
last night said that he and lis broth
ers and their associates In Grants
Pass, find business so good and so
promising for the future that they
decided to take over the property,
and reap even more Of the harvest
OF prosperity than would come to
them from leasing the plant.
II believe in Grants Pass" said
the hotel man, "and we proved our
faith and present good business by
investing"
The Hotel World, the leading
journal Of its kind In the United
States, and published in Chicago,
has the following highly compliment
ary notice OF the hotel and Rogue
River valley:
After being remodeled and mod
ernized at an expense OF $4,000 the

ROTATION OF CROPS
FOR SANDY SOILS
BY PROF. A. r. WHlTSoN,
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture.

AS sandy soils are very open and
low In water-holding capacity, they are
much moro favorable to such crops as
can gain a benefit from such condi-
tons. OF the grains, rye and oats do
best. The former being seeded in the
fall gets an early start Ia the spring
and natures before the extreme
drought of the summer. The latter
has very large root system and can
take better advantage of the fertility
and moisture in a given volume than
most grains.
Beans and buckwheat are profitable
crops on sandy soils. The bean is a
legume and consequently takes its
nitrogen from the air instead of draw
ing on 1t from soil already deficient
in that element. Buckwheat does not
require very fertile soil because
good share of the materials that go
into its seed, the marketable product,
are gotten from the air.
Due to the case with which these
soils can be titled, it ia very economt
cal to grow potatoes, corn, strawber-
ries and truck crops, especially II
these crops are preceded by green
manuring crop or clover sod to sup
ply humus. The expense of killing
weeds in cultivated crops on these
soils is very small because the weeds

HEART RIGHT.
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure man suffering from heart
trouble.
The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who IS solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an I'M
expected thing and can be corrected IL
taken In time and properly treated. A
man In Colorado writes:
81 was a great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware Of the
Injurious effects of the habit till /
became a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
q nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
'T continued to drink coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that 1t was the
cause Of my ill-health, till on applying
for life insurance I was rejected on &C
count of the trouble with my heart.
Then became alarmed. / found that
leaving off coffee helped me quickly, so
quit it altogether and having been
attracted by the advertisements OF
Postum I began its use.
"The change in my condition was re-
rnarkable. All my ailments vanished.
My digestion was completely restored,
my nervousness disappeared, and,
most important of all, my heart stead
led down and became normal, and ON
second examination was accepted by
the Life Insurance Co. Quitting coffee
and using Postum worked the change"

Harm In Too Much Exercise.

DIR. Lawrason Brown and DR.. F, II.
Reise of Saranac Lake, in IN article
on Properly Regulated Rest and Elk
ercise in Pulmonary tuberculosis" in
the June number of the Journal Of the
Outdoor Life, holds that the action
Of the poisonous germs of this disease
on the body is very similar to that Of
overexercise. The poisonous irrita-
tons caused by the germs gives the
organs and tissues of the body dou-
Bile load to carry. Drs. Brown and
Heise emphasize the Importance OF
rest in the treatments Of tuberculo-
sis, but also insist that properly reg
ulated exercise is very necessary.
They state their conclusions thus:
ITO sum up, exercise when properly
regulated and systematically graded
is an important factor in the treat
ment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Through it the patient is in many
cases returned to home and family
with lessened chances of future re-
lapse. At the same time part Of his
earning capacity is restored and he
is consequently, financially less de-
pendent upon others, relieving him of
much worry, expense and hardship"

HOW TO ERADICATE
NOXIOUS GRASS
BY PROF. a. l. STONE,
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture.

Ouack grass, a perennial plant, re-
produces itself by means Of seed and
by means of rootstocks. 1t is the
rootstocks which give the plant it's
noxious character, as they must be
killed to eradicate it and they pos
sess a great deal of vitality. These
roOtstocks are really underground
stems and resemble the other stems,
except that the color is nearly white
and the points are much closer to-
gether, usually not more than an
inch and half apart and often less
than that. In this way the grass
spreads rapidly and a piece Of the
rOotstock with one of these joints on
at will produce a new plant, although
1t may not be over one-half inch long.
Quack Grass Grows Rapidly.
If the grass is growing in mead
ow or pasture where it is undisturb-
ed the rootstocks will lie close to the
surface usually not more than three
inches deep, but in cultivated ground
they will be found at a greater depth,
often below the blowing line. The
whole plant grows rapidly and ripens
its seed usually in July, and, where
growing in meadows, may be gathered
in the hay, from whence 1t gets into
the manure to be scattered broadcast
over the farm.
If growing in grain 1t will be har-
vested and threshed with the grain,
and II the grain is not graded with
extreme care, some of the quack grass
seed will be scwn on the fields the
next year. If either the hay or grain
is sold on the market the seeds may
be carried for long distances to es-
tablish patches of the grass on farms
far removed from the place where the
hay or grain was produced. The
seeds, and, in some cases, rootstocks
also may be carried from farm to farm
by the spring floods or the seed may
be blown from place to place by the
wind. While the grass and hay made
from quack grass has some feeding
value, neither is relished by stock as
are cultivated grasses, and the pres
ence Of the quack grass prevents the
production of crops of much greater
economic Importance.
Methods of Control.
On dry soils the control measure of
cultivating without crop is very eff
cient. No crop can be grown during
the year in which this treatment is be-
ing given. 1t consists of blowing deep
enough to reach the horizontal roots,
four times in dry season, and often
er if the season is wet In fact, plow-
ing may profitably be begun as soon as
a crop is removed the preceding
year.
In the interval between plowings
the ground should be cultivated often
enough to prevent all leaf growth. The
spring tooth harrow makes an excel

In April the peach orchard lends a
