busy corner take their lives in their

amount OF accident insurance, and
suppose the man who was running a
big car up Market street Friday after
noon likewise carries a sufficient
policy. Yet this is what happened. 7
was one of number who wanted the
same car. Two men succeeded in
lodging the passing machine and
reached the running board safely.
Thereupon the conductor pulled the
bell cord and the car started. called

APPEAL TO OUR BUSINESS MEN

On another page will be found letter to the business
Of Grants Pass signed by George e. Sanders the
agent of The ChcagoRogue River company. This letter
deals with of the most important matters consd
by the people of this city and take it that it Will at
tract general attention 1t is square proposition and it
is for business TO decide whether they will assist
in carrying out the agreement made with Mr. Sanders
ask him to step down and out in favor Of district scheme
The business of the city, The Courier believes will
act promptly in this case and settle the irrigation question
for all time What IS wanted is irrigation not schcmes
for this depends he prosperity Of Grants Pass We
suggest that public Deetng be called for evening
in the future formal action be taken Grants
Pass noted all Oregon as place where the people
'get together" and do things
After reading the letter Of Mr. Sanders, those who
stand for the prosperity Of this city will be prepared to act
in concert for The hest interests of community
whole and that they will do it, there no reason to doubt
There is but hope for the business interests of this
city and the agricultural interests of the county and that
is irrigation. All agree this point and therefore, the
people represented By commercial interests must rise
in their places and decide what shall be DONE If Mr. See
ley and his friends give irrigation without asking
for mortgage OF too large amount the agricultural
lands within the confines of the proposed district and can
give the water without delay let them say So The col
umns of The Courier open to these gentlemen to dis
this matter and make known to the community lust
what they do Mr. Sanders has had his say and it is
now in order for Mr. Seeley and his friends to speak

working against all odds to place their project on work
ing basis and fulfill their contract with the Josephine
County Irrigation company"
1t seems to The Courier that mistake has been made
in commencing to organize this district at this particular
time and it would be wisdom at the present. to with
draw the application which has been made to the county
court The directors or the stockholders should do this
at once This would end all chickering's and unpleasant
ness About the middle Of May last this paper made
strong appeal to the people urging the uniting OF all par
ties in interest in the hope Of securing irrigation for this
valley 1t claimed then that the people tired of wait
ing that they tired of listening to new schemes which
would take not only this year but more years to carry out
The directors of the Josephine County Irrigation Power
company got together and accepted the proposition of
George E. Sanders of the ChcagoRogue River company
buy the holdings Of the local organization and meeting
of the stockholders called to ry the action of the d
rectors At that meeting every tockhoder present voted
in favor of the sale and the proposition carried by
large majority The ChicagoRogue River people went to
work to furnish water and gave it in abundance to the
bitches far completed and expended large in
extending other dches They acted in good faith and it
is up to the directors of the Josephine County Iga
on Power company to do the same Let us have peace
and irrigation.

COMMENTS ON IRRIGATION DISTRICT.

In speaking of the attempt to organize an irrigation
district The Outlook of this city has the following the
subject
"As noted in former issue the proposed district has
been reduced probably onehalf from the one originally
proposed and in reading the description one will be
led to wonder who is left in the county to maintain an
rgaton district 1t will be noted that not only the city of
Grants Pass, but all lands held by corporations emin
ated from the district and this will be an eyeopener to
many farmers who have been led to suppose that by the
organization of district the corporations and absent land
owners generally would be called upon to share in the
burden of irrigation
ln spite of all that has been said and printed on the
subject there still seems to be good deal of msunder
standing as to the operation of the irrigation law and gen
era effects of irrigation district 1t behooves the tax
payers of Josephine county to investigate this matter be-
lore they go to vote the matter the 10th of next
month, and try to figure out for themselves whether the
organization of limited district is going to hasten the
work of irrgang the valley 1t is worthy of note that
large number Of those who have looked into the matter and
consulted attorneys have expressed their desire to be elm
mated from the district There are number of features
about the new law that do not look good to many land own
ers and one OF these the power that is delegated to the
board of five directors to incur Indebtedness Further
more there sections of the law that are susceptible of
such range OF Interpretation that the possibility of ti-
cation looms large before the water user who gets under it.
Las experience in southern Oregon has shown that in no
hed OF operation has there been such an amount of t
cation evolved in the distribution of waters and few
farmers Will care to venture into project where there is
possibility of having their property involved in litigation
when the irrigation district was first proposed il was
endorsed by large percentage of property owners and
citizens of Grants Pass in belief that il Furnished the best
means for permanent solution of the irrigation mudde
For this reason it upheld blythe press of this cv and
rs still being favored by many But this belief was found
ed upon the suppositon that the majority of the proper
y owners of the valley would sooner or later be led to in
dorse IT. But with full half of the property of the dis
ulct Withdrawn, and spirit of antaponiSn manifest bn
tween the friends of the Chicago Rogue River project and
the hackers of the irrigation district the outlook for the
success of the district is not bright as It was To many
people the pushing through of the irgatio district a
TINS time would seem to mean simply the embarrassment
OF the Chicago-R Rogue River company who bovc bcon

RECIPROCITY CAMPAIGN IN CANADA.

The Canadian campaign in the reciprocity case will
soon be in full force 1t is said that there will be posi-
biity of mistakng confusing the issue involving
with other issues 1t is for against reciprocity. The
nominations will be made on September H. and the cleo
ton will take place one week later They do politics in
Canada quite differently than of the United States
They are mild in all political matters and is seldom that
either party gets excited In country the fight
is often to the finish but not so Canada In this partic
lar instance the campaign is made before the nomination
takes place. Voters will have little time to go into politics
country will know just what he stands for before election
day arrives 1t is learned there will be an attempt on the
part of certain politicians Of the United States to mix in
Canadian matters but the people there are so slow
that Americans not likely to make any headway either
for or against reciprocity.
