BE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.

Bonding the county for the pur-
pose of building good roads is mat
ter of the highest importance to
our taxpayers at this time. That
we need the improvements is a self
evident fact and that, IL we could
build them at this time, the money
that would be distributed In the
county would approach a real bles-
sing But we must not forget this
IS business proposition and there
fore should be treated in business
manner. First, 1t must be deter
mined whether or not we have a
legal right to vote road bonds at this
time. We cannot afford to incur
an expense of something like $4,000
in holding a special election, to find
out afterwards that the bonds were
illegal II issued, and that bond buy
ers would not, as a consequence, pur-
chase them.
The Courier said edltorlally last
Sunday: "of course no election can
take place until It Is determined that
the people Of county have the right
to vote bonds such as contemplated
This will be known, II Is supposed
at no distant day, as II is understood
that Jackson county will have thil
matter up before the supreme
court"
The above contains the Who'll,
matter in nut shell and SHOULD
be the policy In treating the matter
OF Issuing good roads bonds. An!
other method would be unbusiness
like. Better take the advice o
David Crockett: BE sure your,
right, then so ahead"

acter. that is. on the road to mines
In our own county and 1t helps
out travel to Crescent City. II we
can have rock and gravel roads, 1t
will be of great service In the devel-
opniept of the mining, farming and
business interests generally within
this county. The satisfaction which
goyd roads give will we hope induce
the county board to go on with the
work, but business methods must be
observed always.
The county will get better results
if the board will let all work by con-
tract. placing an engineer In charge
who knows what is to be done, and
how 1t is done. Other states have
found this a great saving. The
Courier favors permanent work In
the many places where the winter
rains and the heavy travel cut up
the roads. The county has good ma
chinery now and can make roads Of
a better class than 1t was possible to
do 1t a year ago and II practical men
can be secured to do the work, per-
manent roads will occupy the places
which have heretofore been mud
holes. In these matters The Courier
is in favor of making haste slowly

DESIRABLE PEOPLE COMING.

There are many visitors coming
to Grants Pass during this, the lat

on and II can be said that to all APP
pearances these are of very desir-
able class and II is to be hoped that
many will locate in this part Of the
Rogue River valley. They come
from Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, North and South Da-
kota and some few from Colorado
Our real estate men are doing their
part In receiving and entertaining
these good people and already some
important sales have been made and
doubtless more will follow. Our de-
sirable lands which will be under
irrigation and our promising mines
offer opportunity to all who may
come.

some things outside of their profess
sion. The newspapers are telling
about one who quit the schools and
went TO farming and has made a
wonderful success, thing that most
anybody else could do II proper at
tention was given the subject. The
man was E. l.. Brewer of Cbehalis
county in the state Of Washington.
At a country fair he was induced to
tell a newspaper man his story,
which is as follows:
Without kiting checks, but with
credit that was good, bought 1S2
acres upon the installment plan, al
though had $50 less than nothing,
which is the amount school teacher
ought to have Jersey cattle we're
my hobby, and upon scientific bas-
is | have managed to breed herd OF
Jerseys with character. There Is
one three-year-old In the exhibit
herd here that brings me as high as
$40 a month in pure cream alone.
She averages s400 year in profits,
and | can feed the herd at a cost of
s37 year average. I'm now milk
ing 80 head of these three-year-olds
| have about so head, all told, beside
100 hogs and a dozen or more
horses.
When started In, l realized that
1t required character in stock to
make 1t record-breaking, 80 | be-
character of my COWS. | started by
gan by developing the individual
trying to have calves as well born
as 1t is possible to have them, by
studying the needs of the individual
COW. One feature is In that fact
that l keep close tab on the feed,
Weighing the cows frequently. and
keeping them 90 that the food ele-
ments do not feed off the bodily
weight Of the animals"
This Ii the dairy part of the story.
Now comes the mixed farming ex-
perience Of Mr.. Brewer. 1t is report
ed that from 100 acres of his farm
there was yield of $4,000 and
this was not his whole crop. Now
here is mixed farming to an extent
that will prove there is no busi-
ness in the world, not even a gold
mine. that will equal farming when
1t is carried on In scientific man
ner.
A herd OF Jersey cows on a farm
under irrigation near Grants Pass
will make the right kind of farm
er rich every time. Fruit is good
thing, but 1t is putting "all your
eggs into one basket" and there
fore, is, to some extent, risky, when
you have to buy hay and grain. But
dairying and general farming is a
business that can be depended upon
for results; in short, is money
getter and there is little risk to run.
We need both the fruit grower and
the man who can grow feed for live
stock. Both OF these will find abun-
dant opportunities in Josephine
county,

WOULD SECURE
 FREE DELIVERY

For the purpose of endeavoring to secure free city mail delivery from the postotfice at Conway, Postmaster o. J. Owen will leave tonight for Washington, D. C., to confer with the postoflice department officials regard ing the matter. The requirements of the office from standpoint of annual receipts have been more than met for the past two years, and it is thought nothing will likely stand in the way of the improved service being ordered here.
 Postoflice Inspector 0. c. Pierce of Little Rock spent Tuesday here to in- spect the city and the office. and will make report on the advisability of establishing free delivery service here. The nature of his report was, of course, not given out, but it is gen erally believed it will be favorable.
 Postmaster Owen will be accompa- nied by J. H. Stubbs and from Wash ington they will go to Atlantic City to spend a few weeks.

SLOAN IS BUSY
 WITH FEED LAW
TO SEND OUT INSPECTORS
THREE MEN FROM COMMIS- SIONER'S OFFICE TO EN-
 FORCE NEW LAW.

Little Eock, August 17.-Since the enforceInt 1t of the feed tax act began, tow adys ago, the ctlice of Commis- sioner of Agriculture Clay Sloan has heen the most busy about the state house. An order of tags, consisting of nearly 1,000,000, was delivered Wednesday afternoon and the work of sending them out to the feed manu- lecturers and jobbers continues near ly as rapidly as the tags are received. The three feed inspectors will be sent out by the department about the first of September. It will be the policy of Commissioner Sloan to send these men into one territory one week and then jump them to another part of the state the following one, thus keeping their movements unknown to persons on the outside, which will permit the department to operate with a less number of men, for the dealers, should they desire to violate the law, will be afraid to display goods not properly tagged, as they do not know when the inspectors are coming
 Commissioner Sloan is making prep arations to move his office to the sec ond floor of the capitol some time next week. The office will take the suite of rooms on the front, adjoining the house of representative. These rooms are among the coolest in the building while the present quarters of the de partment get uncomfortable in the | afternoon, due to the rays of the aft ernoon sun shining directly into al the rooms.
