LOCAL POLITICS.

Local politicians are getting the
band wagon and making themselves
ready for the primaries which are to
be held on April 10. There are some
suggestions which The Courier will
venture to make in the hope OF en-
couraging some to seek a nomination
and prevent others from doing so; In
other words, no man should ask for
an office who Is not adapted to the
work II demands. There is nothing
30 exacting as public office. The
public demands ability in all posi-
tions and the failure OF the Office
holder Is never forgiven.
There Is one office that Is to be
filled this year which requires busl-
ness ability OF the Hrst water and
that Ia county commissioner. The
time was when II didn't make so
much difference who served on the
board but OF late years the position
has been one OF growing Importance
and the man who now holds a place
on the board and is not a man OF bus
iness ability burlesQus the position.

dustry by all working together TO

hard to mention anything that
would better assist In the develop
ment OF mixed farming than the
holding OF an exposition OF the kind

saying that the mayor Of this city

Commercial club will do what they
can 10 assist the members OF the

PRESIDENT HERRICKs VIEWS.

president HEhhlCh NlENo'
In discussing the proper place to
locate the public buildings which
are to be needed in Grants Pass in
the very near future, l.. l.. Herrick,
president Of the Grants Pass Bank
ing and Trust company, said to a
Courier representative yesterday
that II occurred to him that this was
the appropriate time to settle our
differences, If we have any, with the
Southern Pacific regarding the re-
mova OF the old depot He believed
that 1t would be possible for the city
to acquire from the railway corpora
tion a not only suitable site for a
city hall but for a federal building,
library building and Y NJ C. A.
building, all four of which will be
needed within the very near future.
He thinks we should get the railway
company more deeply interested in
our prosperity and that We should
convince It's officials that we are in
every way friendly to their interests
Mr.. Herrick said that he would not
pretend to mention any particular
location for the buildings spoken Of
except that they should go some
where on the right-of-way II
seemed to be his opinion that there
was opportunity for diplomacy on
the part OF the mayor and council
and by the adoption OF such a course
the very best interests OF the city
would be promoted and he had the
faith TO believe that they would see
the way clear to do the appropriate
thing at this time.

if we were trying to railroad the
matter through"
Mr.. Clark again asked Wei if
you don't like this building plan
what kind of architecture do YOU
want?"
Mclean had listened attentiyely to
the rapid fire conversation and here
broke in by asking the mayor by
what method was it feasible for the
people to pass judgment Let us
call for competitive plans, said the
mayor"
Herzinger was to the front again
by saying that if the building as
proposed was not large enough for
future use, that it could be added to.
You can't add to this building"
said Mr.. Smith, picking up the plans
for another look at them, and con-
tinued: This building is of unat-
tractive outline and unsightly."
Mr. Clark came back by saying
that building plans of today were
growing more and more of the plain
or massive design, without much or
no ornamentation
I do not mean ornamentation, or
bricabrac,' said the mayor, but |
mean that for the same money we
are to spend on this building a struc-
ture of more pleasing outline can be
selected
The executive then suddenly took
up another phase of the matter by
stating that he believed the charter
would prevent the council from going
ahead in construction of the build
ing at once, because of clause
which reads that a vote of the peo-
pie was necessary before contract
could be entered into when an ex-
penditure of more than $1,000 was
proposed in building, ornamentation,
etc The mayor turned to this clause
and read it aloud He then called on
City Attorney Colyig to read and in
terpret it. The city attorney did so.
and said that under that clause it
would seem that vote Of the peo-
pie was necessary.
Some one then asked if the matter
was not covered in the city hall build
ing ordinance of last June which the
people had endorsed at the polls
Get the ordinance" said the may
or.
Auditor Johnston went to his files
and brought in the record. and read
it, The ordinance read that the coun-

and are organizing for the purpose
OF securing better prices for their

that s6O,OOO,OOO was paid last year

ct Of the dairyman. For his onions
the consumer IN that city paid SS,
$4,000, while the farmer who grew
them was paid only $S21,O00 The
farmers are Of the opinion that this
disparity is entirely too great, and
the result is that there are being
formed organizations throughout the
country near the large cities for the
purpose OF selling their produce dl.

TO BREAK Up COLD

lieve a cold, but it usually does more
harm than good

attorney settled the disputed point.
The mayor then went at Mr.. Clark
again.
DO you really believe, Mr.. Clark,
that this is the best looking building
we can find for the money!"
The councilman came back by re-
peating that he did not believe in
much ornamentation for public
buildings.
The mayor reiterated his former
statements by saying that he did not
mean gingerbread work, but that he
meant building of more pleasing
outline than the one proposed Re
ferring to Mr.. Herzingers statment
that the council was elected to care
for the public business, the mayor
said
While it is true we represent the
people, yet We should not keep the
people in ignorance, but should give
all publicity possible to these pro-
posed building plans. The school
board adopted this method when they
built the high school, The school
board, too, represented the people
and was empowered to select any
plan of building it desired, but the
members allowed the public to see
the plans The public feels better
when thus treated. We ought not to
treat the public as if we were infal-
lible or that it is a private snap"
After more discussion along the
same lines the motion of Council
man Clark to lay the matter over
to Monday evening prevailed.
The plans call for building 6OxSO
cement floors in rear and wooden
floors in front; the building to rest
three feet back from sidewalk anC
ground to be terraced.
The plan also calls for the struc.
ture to front on Fourth street.
r. b. Baber, who had been award
ed the street sprinkling contract al

sition, and new contract was award
ed to w. 7. Wessun, who bid 1895
