The business world of Grants Pass moves right along
even through the hot weather Nearly every store IN town
s increasing its trade and lines are constantly heng
opened up 1t fact well known to all commercial trav
eles that the concerns of this city in better conditions
than those of any other town along the line OF the South
cru Pacific New homes going up in every part OF
the town and these being occupied as fast as they are
finished and it is the opinion of good judges that tne city
will add fifty per cent to its population within the next
twelve months The uncovering of great wealth in gold
and copper in the mountains and hills directly tributary
to this city has added much to prosperity and the
future in this regard certainly looks bright Quitting
miners has become profitable business to many Of our
stores and it plain to be that not few hundred
but thousands of prospectors and miners will here

tis city is and will continue to be the mining cen

SOUTHERN OREGON LEADS IN MINING.

The Oregonan sees much good to come from the Min
ing Congress which has just closed its session in this city,
but that newspaper is not alone in its conclusion for it
may be said that all the leading papers of the country, in
cudng the mining magazines, have also made favorable
comment on the activity in mining around Grants Pass
The following is the Oregonian's editorial:
Grants Pass is most appropriate place for the meet
ing OF the Southern Oregon and Northern California Min
ing Congress- which is in session 1t is in the heart
OF the pioneer placer mining district of Oregon which is
again increasing its production after many vcssitudes
under the impetus of modern methods of mining The in
creased output of the southern Oregon districts in 1909 al
most equaed the decrease in eastern Oregon and was en-
hanced by the development of gold and copper mines That
the mineral of Oregon have been only scratched
is certain and the congress at Grants Pass will serve to
call attention to them as well as to the many other
es of that rich region

REMARKABLE CHARACTER CROSSES DIVIDE.

One by one the old timers the coast and up north
are crossing the great divide The latest is Pierre Ers-
sard French Pete he generally known, who died
at Katea Alaska July 2 One of the rather remarka
BILE things about this man is that he has several times be-
fore this been reported dead and newspapers have been
generous in the way of his obituaries Some enerprsng
writer made him of the bad men in Alaska novel, but
Pete was too broadmnded to find fault with any such tr
fes He the dscoverer of the famous Treadwe mine
and sold it to John Treadwel for $400 Soon after the
deal was closed Treadwe became satisfied that the mine
worthless and paid little or no attention to it but one
day while waiting for the steamer to go SOUTH he went
and took look at his mine The first scratching showed
him he had something out of the ordinary and in the fall
of the year fivestamp mill pounding out the first
riches of the biggest gold quartz mine in the United
States.
French Pete never regretted selling the mine at the
low price Of $400 for the reason he said that that
amount of money helped him greatly and kept him from
financial failure in Juneau where he then running

When will we have better roads?
Why, when we change the present
costly and worthless system. Our
roads are not roads; they are rocky
trails with camel humps one minute

part I am ssick of paying taxes for
such miserable results. am com
PEELED to often travel over these roads
for long distances and return and

lessons from the road builders of

states. We are half century be-

PRACTICAL BACK TO THE FARM MOVEMENT

National phiantmopists, led by the governors of a
number Of states met in Chicago Monday to formally
launch the back to the farm movement 1t is generally
believed that this will result in great good to working
and their families living in the congesed districts Of
large cities The idea is to help these people to become
producers instead Of consumers, which they
bureau will be organized which will furnish information to
this particular class and will at the time be in touch
with localities and states which offer homes and op
portuntes to working men, This back to the farm
movement is all important and great good will come from
it if phianthropss and others get busy along these lines
The purpose will be to place families small holdings
with money enough to for themselves until their
farms be developed This is better idea than the
Carnegie library and will do thousand times more good

MEDFoRD SHOULD DEVELOP COAL PROPERTIES

The Medford Sun urges that development of coal mines
in the vicinity of that city and says:
"lhat Medord coal improves with the extent of ex-
ploraon the statement of Professor j. s. Dler govern
nent geoogist who has inspected local properties Pro
fessor Der finds Ignite which is immature coal but he
gives as his opinion that the vein will develop into semi

country
Coal fields would be of untold and of almost uspea
able benefit to Medord and the valley Aside from being
the development of industry with its accompanying
expenditure of large sums and employment of many la
Nores coal mining would be the of working out the
many other resources of southern Oregon"
The Sun right The people of the entire Rogue River
valley are interested in the matter and will rejoice if Med

kind OF coal that is found in Washington has been shipped
to Grants Pass and sold here at 5000 per ton Even the
low Ignite coal of the Medlord mines is certainly as good

over few tons MS specimens of what their best mine is

not large retaineru paid for these advance
opinions are worth while,
The last big case which the supreme court
decided against the judgment Of Wall

which the Consolidated Gas company lost
Here the Judgment Of paid corporation law
yers had been that the company would BE-
within its case There had been consider
able buying OF the stock as a consequence.
The fat decision against the company
brought on a temporary panic in the stock
market, in which Consolidated Gas dropped
about thirty points in a few hours. An hour
before the decision came there had been
some selling through Washington
This later was understood TO have been
started by a lawyer who had been listening
to the decisions being handed down by
the supreme court that day and in one Of
which a point similar TO the main point IN
the Consolidated Gas case had been de-
cided against the company. This gave hin
