INCREASING DEMAND FOR LUM-
BER.


Indications point to better condi-
tions along the line of the Southern
Pacific and especially in Grants Pass
this season. C. C. Crow, the head Of
the wholesale lumber firm of Port
land bearing his name, was visitor
to this city last Friday and in a talk
with the writer said some encourag-
ing things which will be of interest to
most readers of The Courier. In
speaking Of the lumber business gen.
orally he said:
The outlook for the lumber busi-
ness this season is excellent despite
the presidential year bugaboo which
common sense seems to have finally
laid on the shelf.
The increase in price which took
effect near the first of the year and
was thought by many at that time to
be but temporary owing to so many
mills being closed down for repairs,
has not only held, but has been get
ting better and better and has now
developed into a steady and improv-
ing market. Prices on uppers are ad-
vancing in even better shape than the
lower grades and the demand is such
that there are heavy shortages at this
early stage of spring buying in many
of these grades.
The retail yards all over the coun-
try have allowed their stocks to run
low during the winter and as soon as
the weather improves and the roads
get into better shape the buying will
no doubt be very heavy. This is par
ticularly so along the Southern Pa
cific from Portland to Ashland. There
seems to be no end of improvements
contemplated and at every town along
the line you hear of hotels, store
buildings, residences, and in fact
buildings of every nature that will be
started just as soon as the weather
becomes more settled.
Grants Pass last season was sec
ond to none in the amount of lumber
used and the fine stocks carried and
improvements made in the three pros
pering yards here would indicate that
they expect to equal if not out do
their last years record"

EASY TO GET RID or DANDRUFF

Dandruff means that down near the
roots OF your hair there is a vast

THE CHICAGO-ROGUE RIVER
COMPANY.

Our friends in Chicago who con-
troll the destinies Of the Chicago
Rogue River company for the pres
ent must certainly be aware that
their dilly-dallying methods are
likely to result in their being ousted
from this community altogether
The farmers and business men who
contracted to sell them their bitches,
rights-of-way, tools and machinery
did so believing that they could be
depended upon TO carry out their
contract, but II looks now as II II
will be necessary, In order to pro-
tect ourselves and to secure water
service throughout the valley, for US
to take advantage OF the forfeiture
clause In the contract
However there is yet time for the
Chicago corporation to pay what
they owe creditors In this city and
to show their good faith by com
menclng ditch construction. II they
fail to do this, the receiver Just ap-
pointed to take charge OF the AFFAIRS
OF that company, will be requested
to supply water to the Fruitdale
ditch and the north side ditch for
this season and the courts will then
be asked to go on and wind up the
AFFAIRS OF the irrigation company
which has been so unfortunate as to
fall into bad hands. They had a
meeting OF stockholders in Chicago
the latter part or last week but so
far no news has been received as to
what was done. The good people
Of this city are waiting patiently to
hear the result OF that gathering OF
stockholders.
Since the above was put in type,
telegram from Mr. Witherall, presi-
dent of the Chicago-kogue River
company, says that the meeting of
stockholders took place and that the
directors of the company were hold
Ing a meeting on Saturday. He
promised to communicate the action
of that body as soon as the meeting
adjourned 1t is to be hoped that it
will be favorable to the creditors
here and to those who are Interested
in irrigation.

an excise tax instead Of an income
tax that has already been declared
unconstitutional, is simply quibbling
on words. 1t is an income tax. pure
and simple"
other senators hold views quite
at variance with the senator from
Utah. Senator Kern, of Indiana
Senator Poindexter, of Washington
and numerous other members OF the
senate are anxious to see the bill
become law. From present ap-
pearances nothing short Of a test
vote will tell the story of Its
strength in the senate. There is
nothing fairer than an income tax
for the very good reason that he
who has en- income beyond his fam
fly wants should contribute to the
expense Of government that protects
his holdings. The poor man pays
more than his share in the way OF
taxation; therefore, 1t is but right
to levy a fair tax on the rich man
and especially on those who repre-
sent the wealth OF the great corpor-
ations.

BUSINESS DEPRESSION PASS
ING"

The oregonlan of Saturday has
this to say editorialy In regard to
the opinions OF President Loyett and
the conditions both east and west.
The brighter outlook will interest
the people of Grants Pass and es-
pecially as 1t is heralded by the man
ager OF the Hartman system which
must Of necessity have to do with the
Rogue River valley. The Oregonlan
editorial is as follows:
President Loyett returns east as
a bearer of good tidlngs from the
west The general improvement In
business, Of which he tells, will
spread eastward until It covers the
whole country Prosperity is as in
fectious as depression, and It can
not but inspire courage for new ven
g lures among the timid
Business depression is largely a
state OF mind It often prevails
when none of the causes known to
economists -over-productlon, iqui-
dation following a period of imitation,
uncertainty as to war or politics
exist There is reason to believe
that the depression OF which Mr..
Loyett notes the passing was due
mainly to an attack OF the sulks
among leading men in business. Rail-
road mn were soured because for
hidden to raise freight rates. Man
ufacturers were out OF sorts because
President Taft would not reent In
his assaults on the trusts and be-
cause both political parties showed a
determination to reduce the tariff
They protested until they realized
that the purpose OF the people was
Interchangeable. Now they show
disposition to accept the inevitable
and to adjust their affairs to new
conditions, actual or impending. The
change In their state of mind will
bring about the change from Gepres-
sion to activity 1t is helped along
by the depletion of supplies caused
by greater shrinkage In production,
by the growing necessity of improve
ments long necessary, but postponed
while the men who should have made
them INDUCED in their Ht of the
sulks.
Capital, like a. child recovering
of the sulks, has learned that It can
not have It's own way, and its face
now breaks into a smile In the hope
OF winning an answering smile from
the strict but often indulgent par
ent."

THE INCOME TAX BEFORE CON.
GRESS.


Congress will make an effort to
pass the income tax which covers
all incomes including salaries
above $4,000 a year. There will be
no trouble, it is said. with this
measure IN the house but, when it
gets to the senate, it will be fought
to the finish In that body It is
claimed that in all probability party
alignment will be broken although
party leaders make no such conces-
sion publicly Senator Smoot of
Utah, member of the senate finance
committee, which will deal with the
bill declared there was no possibu-
ity of the measure passing the SEN
ate.
II do not believe" he said, that
any republican senator, regular or
ins'-geut or that many democrats
win stand for this measure. that
would destroy a great industry

comes a correspondent who is TAFT
man first, last and all the time and
this is the way he expresses himself;
Editor Courier:
Although | respect your opinion In
the editorial Of the 18th in your es-
Unable daily, | beg leave 10 diner
with you as to the adyisabiliy-uf
third term for T. r. / think Theo-
dore should have kept faith with his
own views as hitherto expressed by
himself. A few republicans in Jose
phlne county might prefer to give
T. R. his third cup OF coffee, rather
than give VIM Howard Taft his sec
ond. but hero worshippers are grow
ing scarce. The unwritten law
against a third term was made al
most as firm as the lex scripta' by
our illustrlous Washington, when he
refused the third term coup of cof-
fee" and as much as said NO, thank
you. think one cup is quite
enough for any ordinary person, -
and his opinion Of duty" as he ex-
pressed II, forbade his further &C
ceptance. The humor Of it is which
seemingly justifes the third cup Of
coffee, is to read between the second
and third the words consecutive, not
which. This is a phrase discovered
perhaps by Pinchotltes. Pinchotism
and T. R. policies are identical, or
homogeneous terms The west, as a
rule, likes It not.
Those electors preferring Presi-
dent Taft's policies, enforcing the
Sherman antitrust law (which Col
onel T. R. dlsregarded), striving for
worldwide international arbitra-
ton Of disputes between nations,
rather than by force Of arms, and,
also his wise and far-seelng views
on reciprocity, might be pursuaded
to vote for T. R. for next president,
provided he would agree to carry out
VIM. H. Tafts policies, II elected
for another four years. Other
wise, l. for one, (speaking for my
self would prefer a good democrat
ic statesman, such as Wilson of New
Jersey or Harmon of Ohio, or E, V.
Debs, socialist.
The unfortunate occurrence OF
Grants Pass failing to have a recep-
tion and a good speech from the
president last summer ought not to
prejudice us against either Taft or
Hawley This city was outclassed
by Medford, and the president had
"a frog in his throat" the street at
the depot was dark-but not too
dark for him to remark Grants
Pass has the best looking women in
Oregon Ha! Ha!
II, B. HENDRICKS.
Our correspondent appears to be
one of the few men in Josephine
county who openly opposes Colonel
Roosevelt The large majority are
with the man who has done things
in the past and who does things
whenever opportunity offers and
who, if elected president, will create
along all lines of indue-
try This correspondent is more
than one hundred years behind the
times. 1t was alright enough for
Washington to refuse third term
and Jefferson for that matter. but
what counts in these days is the .
