TUESDAYS ANNUAL IRRIGATION MEETING

The stockholders meeting of the Josephine County
Irrigation and Power company Tuesday was an event
of great Importance to this county and the fact that
throughout the proceedings there every disposition
to harmonic the irrigation interests proves the wisdom
of those gathered at the meeting The reelection OF the
board of directors with two exceptions and these two
plead earnestly to be allowed to retire. showed the con-
fdence the stockholders had in the board There were
two important points hept in view The first was the or
ganzaton Of irrigation district and the second the
procuring of water at the earliest possible moment for
irrigation There we're other minor points brought up
but these constitute the aim and object of majority of
the stockholders From this on the board will have
plenty of work its hands, the most important of which
is the harmonzng of irrigation interests There will be
diplomacy of the first order required and should not
be forgotten that to succeed compromises will be neces
sary. In all the important treaties among the world
powers that word compromise has, every case been
prominent and to this we owe lasting peace with many
nations The broadmnded this irrigation board
well understand that the people of this city and county
are depending upon them for future prosperity and The
Courier feels satisfied that there will be no dsappont
ment.

4 BUSY CENTER OF RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION

1t has been announced that the Northwestern Pacific,
which has been surveyed along the north California coast
from Sherwood in that state to be at extended
to Crescent City, to connect with the line from Grants
Pass which it is expected will be built this summer and
construction commenced as spring opens Work
will also be due early in the season on the electric ne but
SO far have been unable to learn the plans of the people
having the construction in charge The other two roads,
the Grants Pass and Rogue River and the Grants Pass
and Western will make things lively here during the en-
tire year and, if necessary, wait little while for
work on the third railroad to commence.
There is great interest taken in the construction
which has already been commenced the Grants Pass
and Rogue River railway On Sunday large crowds cross
ed the steel bridge at the foot of Sixth street and went up
the river to the point where railroad grading has started
1t Of real satisfaction to the many to and
know work on this popular road is really underway We
will hazard guess by saying the people of Grants Pass
will be making trips by train to Madrona Murphy) be-
fore the rainy sets in next fall These railroad
builders understand their business and the entire line will
be completed at the earliest possible moment Soon there
will be hundred teams and double that number
of men at work the grade This will look like business

HARD PAVEMENT IS
WANTED BY RESIDENTS

About 80 residents OF North Ihlrd
and Fourth streets and Lawnridge
avenue met at the Commercial Club
rooms Tuesday night to confer In
regard to paving the streets from
B or C to the city limits. 1t was the
general opinion of the owners that
the streets should be paved and that
all should be paved with the same
material, the whole work to be done
under one contract.
City Engineer Hobson reported
that 90-feet In the center OF the
street could be paved with bitumin-
Gus macadam, 5-foot cement walk,
curb and gutter, leaving a 1O-foot
parking strip, and that the complete
cost would be $3.50 per front foot
on each side of the street. This
material seemed to meet with the ap-
proval of those present.
A committee composed OF o. S.
Blanchard, NJ. c. Findley and R. L.
Coe was appointed to make all ar
rangements and to act in conjunc-
tion with the city council.

TRUE INDEX AS TO THE FUTURE

Tie spirit of irrigation rife in the city today from
early morning until The Courier went to press the town
being invaded by farmers from the outlying districts The
interest taken certainly of the good signs of the
times and clearly indicates that the people determined
that irrigation shall be secured at the earliest possible day
While it is true that all are not agreed as to the method
and the carrying out Of the details yet everybody demands
that farms be put under water This determination
will finally bring about unity of purpose which will in
which be covered The loyal spirit manifested by the
many is the true test to be applied when we Judge of what
is to be the future of agriculture and fruit growing in o

body that this section will in the near future will be the
