INCREASE RATE FOR
HAULING ORE HERE

The Waldo mine has been paving
IS per ton for the hauling of ore
from the mine to Grants Pass for
shipment to the Mammoth smelter
at Kennett, California, but as an in.
ducement to get more teams on the
job the rate has been increased 7,
$40 per ton, and all the teams avail
able will be put at work. During the
summer months a big auto truck
was employed in hauling ore from
the Waldo mine, but this discontin-
ued some time ago and the teams
were again substituted
Good wages are made by teams in
this work while the roads remain
good, as reasonably heavy team
will easily haul two tons of the ore
at load, while some of the better
teams have brought in as much as
three tons at single trip. From
four to five days are required for the
hound trip, the time dependhs
again on the roads. The work done
by the county during the past season
on the road to Waldo has made
great difference in the earning abil-
ity of a team engaged in ore hauling,
and was really the determining fac
tor in making shipper of the Waldo
property.

DAIRY DEVELOPMENT

From observation made through
olt the county during the past ten
days by ". A. Shewman, editor OF
the Western Stock Journal, publish
ed at Oregon City Or, who has been
giving talks on modern farming
methods at grange halls throughout
the valleys contiguous TO this city, it
Is a great satisfaction to observe
that in his opinion We are on the eve
Of a great awakening, and that with
IN the next few years the valleys will
be dotted with beautiful dairy farm
homes, where will be found as fine
herds Of dairy cattle, pure-blood
swine and other choice stock, as one
may see in any county in the state.
Attractive and comfortable homes
will take the place Of the many
weather beaten buildings that can
hardly be classed as such at the pres
ent time, the old disease breeding
and unsightly rail fence will give
place to wire, which will plainly de-
fine the boundary OF the farm that
is receiving the attention due it.
One Of the most stable industries
has been sorely neglected in Jose
prime county, and the people both
in the city and in the country as well
have come to realize that to keep
pace with other counties of the state,
and of the great northwest, our peo-
ple must raise more live stock, Sc
cure more and better dairy cattle,
must build mp their herds of swine,
goats, ETC., and there can possibly
be no better way to attain these ends
than to secure the very best founda
tion stock to head their herds, and

from neglected opportunities and

WHY SENATOR BOURNE
REMAINED Ar POST.

Senator Jonathan Bourne Jr., the
man who has attained the greatest
national prominence and the mos
influential committee position eyel
enjoyed by an Oregon senator, be-
fore leaving Grants Pass for Rose
burg, said to the Courier:
Il have been severely criticized
for not coming to Oregon during the
primary campaign last spring Any
one who will stop to think will see
that ] should be commended rather
than condemned The fact of the
matter Is that several matters of
large Importance to Oregon and to

serve notice that a senator must
abandon his work and come back to
the state to refute the lies of his
enemies and tell about his achieve
ments.

GOOD ROADS MAN
TO DEVELOP WEST

Colonel George W. Thatcher, the
picturesque apostle of good roads
/ who is preaching the faith through.
Iout the length and breadth OF the
land, having driven into Grants Pass
Monday with an outfit fully as pic
turesque as his personality, has
/ found his sermon one OF pulsating
interest to the people of this locality
Monday evening the colonel was
the center of an audience at the lob
by of the Josephine Hotel till late
hour, and when he departs he will
have left many suggestions to grow
and bear fruit in future days.
1t is upon the question of great
national boulevard that Thatcher
warns the quickest. He wants ma
tional highways and state highways
and he can point at once to the rea-
son and the benefits .n speaking OF
the coast divisions of the Yellow
stone Boulevard, Mr.. Thatcher said
Tuesday:
THE natural route for the Seattle
and Portland divisions of the Vel
lowstone Bouleyart from New York
via the Yellowstone National Park tC
San Francisco, lies through Grants
Pass and Crescent City, Cal. 1t is
ia foregone conclusion that there will
be two north and south state high
ways through California. Naturally
from San Francisco north one VIII
follow close to the Pacific ocean to
Crescent City and then to Portland
via Grants Pass The other great
north road will go from San Fran
cisco via Sacramento up Sacramento
valley to Lower klamath Lake,
thence to Portland via klamath
Falls and Central Oregon.
THE most powerful factor that has
prevented the development of Ore
gon is bad roads, and no roads at all
in many sections Roads are just
as necessary arteries of commerce as
deep waterways and railways. When
we consider that we have always
had deep waterways and for many
years railroads, and the resources of
the great commonwealth, Oregon,
are scarcely tapped, the subject of
good roads becomes the greatest
subject of import before the citizens
of this country. 1t is your duty to
cause to be tapped these hidden
mines of wealth which abound in
quantity of ocean dimensions, in
mountain, hill and plain in the glor-
ious state of Oregon. And the mao-
ic wand that will cause these streams
of wealth 20 flow is a network of per-
manent highways throughout the en-
tire commonwealth; highways that
can be travelled with perfect ease
every day in the year
THE greatest handicap to the
farmers of the Pacific coast has been
an inadequate home market for their
products, and because of these con-
ditions the farmer has been robbed
of the just fruits of his labor. And
these conditions as well as robbing
the farmers has filched the mer-
chant of millions of dollars and has
been a giant obstacle in the way of
industrial development. With an
adequate system of state highways
east and west, and north and south,
throughout Oregon the entire coun-
try will develop by leap and bounds.
Tens of thousands of the best of cit
izenship will be attracted within the
borders Of this wondrous Oregon.
Demand for manufactured products
will have increased a thousand fold.
Under new and more prosperous con-
ditions hundreds of industries will
be attracted to Oregon, this land OF

so.
The classes in Domestic Science
and Manual Training are all mere
than full making it necessary to
oricr more tables and benches for
this work.
The Athletic work starts off with
more than the usual amount of en-
thIsiasm. Coach Culbertson has
succeeded in getting more of the
fellows out for try OUT in foot
ball than have ever been out at one
time before. There are now almost
enough for three full teams. The
first team will have it's first practice
game of the season next Friday after
noon at 4 O'Clock when they will
play the local Moose team ON the
High School Athletic field.
At a meeting of the student body
of the High School held last Thurs
day afternoon it was unanimously de-
cided to continue the organization
formed last year under the name of
Associated Students of the Payette
High School, The meeting was
called to order by Chas. Crump who
called upon Supt. Turner to state
the purposes of the organization and
to put the question squarely up to
the students as to whether they de-
sired to continue such an organiza-
ton. Several of the students spoke
in favor of the proposition. The vote
was unanimous and all but three of
the students signed for membership

COUNTY DIVISION PROFITABLE.

In common with large number o.
ether residents of this va ly We hay,
long held to the opinion that a III
vision of Canyon County would nat
urally increase taxation. This week
we are publishing figures &C mpiled b
the investigation committee of the
Commercial Club which would tend
to show that the contrary is the
fact and that division of this
county would materially tend to de-
crease taxation. The figures as
given are the result of careful work
en- the part of the committee and
we believe are conservative in every
rarticulaf. They deserve the ear
nest consideration of every citizen
of this valley. The facts brought
-crth are undoubtedly based on the
best Judgment of men who have the
interests of this section at heart
and have gone carefully into the mat
ter and their report is not a matter
of guess work. Read carefully the
article and study the figures. 1t
means a great deal to every resi-
dent of Payette Valley. You should
not be influenced blindly on this
matter one way or the other but you
owe it to the community in which
you live to act intelligently on the
subject. If a division of Canyon
County means lower taxation and |
better government for this valley,
hen, every citizen should line up
houlder to shoulder in an effort
o secure a division. 1t does not
mean that because we
re seeking a division of this county
hat there has been misgoTernment
r that any particular reflection is
lst upon previous officials of this
Iunty. But conditions change, rapid
. The Payette Valley has interests
lat are peculiarly it's own. 1t is a
uit growing valley with bearing or
Iards, which bring the land valua-
ms to high point indeed To
