culating reports that prominent
merchants of the city Are in financial
straits and have even gone so far as
to name date on which a receiver
will be appointed to take over their
business. No merchant or class of
merchants is exempt from these ma
licious attacks. Investigation shows
that these rumors are unfounded and
in some instances, they have been
traced to people who are owing the
individual merchants and have been
asked to liquidate their accounts. In
other cases they are directly trace
able to either business or personal
enemies of these merchants. Grants
Pass has a few knockers and SLAM
derers who are far from being a
credit to the town. A representa-
tive of r. G. Dunn and company has
been in this city for several days and
he reports that financial conditions
are as sound in Grants Pass as else
where on the Pacific coast. Business
all over the country is not as good as
it should be, but the Pacific coast.
this gentleman says, is far better
financially than the eastern cities.
The Courier cares naught for the
criticism of these vilifers when it is
confined to this newspaper but there
is no mercantile firm but is affected
by attacks of this nature. They in
jure the town and all its interests
and It is high time that contemplat-
ed measures are taken to bring these
vilihers to justice.

SCOTT HAS CHAMPION.

There are people who think that
the Jackson county farmer and in
augurator OF the already famous
plan Of raising money for good roads
purposes has discovered something
which will bring general prosperity
not only TO our neighboring county
but every other county in Oregon.
The Courier is willing to have the
subject debated for the purpose OF
bringing out all the best points in
the Scott bonding plan. While the
weight OF evidence which has ap-
peared in the newspapers seems to be
against this particular financial
scheme, we have no disposition to
shut of debate and therefore pub
lish the following letter which has
been received from a member OF a
rather prominent business concern
in Tacoma:
Editor Rogue River Courier:
Thanks are due w. G. Scott, farmer,
for bringing into prominence a ques-
ton Of vital interest to all the people.
viii those who are ridiculing his
proposition please turn to United
States statutes at large for the years
1907 to 1909 and on page 446, chap
ter 22s, read: ITO render available
as a basis of additional circulation
any securities including commercial
paper?" If this is good for the bank
ers, why might it not be good for the
people? Why do we make and up
hold this distinction in favor of a
special line of business to which we
are all compelled to pay tribute?
If such dire results, as some of
Mr.. Scotts critics predict, would
follow an action Of this kind, how
can we hope to escape the same re-
suits when the same methods are
used by the banks?
Mr.. Scott has evidently been doing
some thinking. Isn't It time for the
rest of us to do some?
Yours very truly,
THADDEUS HILL.

A NEEDED INDUSTRY.

1t is pleasing to note that the Mai
Tribune of Medford approves of tn
poultry and egg business which ha
taken such Arm hold OF Grants Pas.
Under the above head that Journa
I published the following editorial o.
last Tuesday;
There is no reason why the
poultry industry should not be
one of the great assets OF the
Rogue river valley.
Climatic conditions are more
favorable than even in Peta
luna Two great markets, Port
and on the north, San Francisco
on the south, will take all that
Ndu ut plOuuCeu.
The Commercial club reports
that at least a score of persons
have embarked In the poultry
business around Medford in the
past few months. There are
half as many inquiries regard
ing poultry as there are about
orchards.
The fact that both the Wells
Fargo express and the Southern
Pacific are considering reduced
rates and special accommoda,
tions promises well for the fu-
ture OF the industry. A great
business can be built up with
proper encouragement.
Poultry does not require the
capital that horticulture does

ot waiting until returns come in

report that the Rogue River Courier

the business OF The Courier lnasmuch
as at least one OF their sympathizers
has discontinued advertising and
five OF their friends have asked that
their name be dropped from the sub

A landowner, whose property is

sends us the following communica-
tion which should command the earn
est attention OF every person in this
vicinity interested In securing water
for irrigation purposes This gen
tleman writes In sane, practical
manner and while he urges action
he is undoubtedly willing to listen
to reason, The Chicago Rogue River
company can serve our correspon-
dent as we'll as the people generally
by indicating their intentions in re-
gard to the contract which they have
entered into with the landowners OF
this valley and which will soon ex-
pire. They will readily see that
something must be done as the peo-
pie owning the land and who control
the contract are unwilling to wait
longer on those who have so far fail
ed in the performance OF the obliga
tions they entered into

memory Of all who so literally con-
tribsted to the cause Of irrigation,
that strong assurances were given
that there would be no doubt Of an
early and prompt fulfillment Of the
contract entered into with the Chi
cago-Rogue River company; relying
upon these assurances many Of our
business men again extended almost
unlimited credit 10 the new company,
and they could IN AFFORD the sacrifice.
This brings us to the question, or
proposition, have we not by the fore
going contract acquired an INSOFAR
able interest In, and to. our present
irrigation system? One embodying
an integral interest in the entire
system, including the all important
water rights OF Rogue river for our
lands, by which we are entitled,
morally and legally. TO the physical
possession for use and development,
in the event OF the further and ul-
innate default Of the Chicago-Rogue
River company? II must be admit
ted that the power plant is situated
In the proper place for serving the
greatest area Of land at the mini
mum cost to the producer and con
sumer.
II has a large gravity factor for de-
liyering water in abundance to our
rich porus bottom lands. which will
require two or more net acre feet
OF water delivered on the field
II has the only feasible topograph-
ical location enabling all lands up
TO the $50 foot level TO be served
without reducing the power TO cleo
tricity, involving enormous loss OF
power, and raising the cost service
In much larger proportion than at
first thought would indicate Inyoly-
ing the extra cost Of transmission
lines. transformers. individual pumps
and reservoirs, pipe lines 20 and
from the same from the river 10
reservoir. and then from reservoir
to convenient points Of use all Of
these bills must be net by the con-
sumer sooner or later. and 20 this
must be added the cost Of bitches and
their upkeep In fact the lower the
cost OF the plant the lower the cost
o. service vll be. and the greater
the promise OF good service when
once installed
There is another factor not to be
lightly considered. and that is, the
necessity for an absolute unit OF ac-
uon vith the purpose in view Of hay-
ing the entire valley served under
one system
II We segregate the bottom lands
from high lands it will make It prac-
tically impossible for any plant to
serve the high lines at any reason
able rate, thus leaving them with.
out water for all time.
II We have a good contract let us
enforce It at once and have water in
time for this years crop. With the
same outlay incident to the installa-
tion OF private lines, bitches and
equipment we can all be served and
at less cost than any other way.
This is a matter OF too great import
ance to let MS sit idly by and let our
valuable water rights and irrigation
privileges be frittered away, and IL
We stand together as one man we
can have a valley that is all that can
be wished for in fruit, grain and
hay
Let us get an expression from the
company and get at some working
basis, and It surely must be produc-
tive Of timely benefit.
