Importations of bananas INTO the
United States for the fiscal year end
ed June 30, 1912, We're of the value OF
s14,26S 800. These figures indicate an
increase of 1874 per cent I'm the las.
Two years, and of LA per cent IN
twelve years. The value placed Oh
last years imports as above stated 70
based on a price of only 81 cents a
bunch. The profit there IS IN the
trade may be figured roughly by ta.,-
ing note of the fact that bananas sell
at retail in this market at an average
of about 20 cents a dozen. IN ave-
age of 140 bananas to a buncn would
thus mean that bunch which cost 8:
cents is sold at retail in the United
States for about 2.20 bunch, which is
sufficient, it is claimed, to give a HD-
eral profit, after allowing for all nee
essary cost of production, labor, trans
postation, etc. The annual export OF
bananas to all countries aggregates
about 52,936,963 punches, of which the
United States took the very iarge pro-
portion of 44,520,5S8 punches, making
this the greatest banana eating cou1;-
try in the world.

THE OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER

As previously announced in this
paper, the county court has named
the Courier the official paper for the
current year. The law specifies how
this shall be done, and the court fol-
lowed both the spirit and the letter
of the law in its action. The lists
of both local papers were submitted
to the court, and examination left
no doubt as to which had the larger
bona fde list Of subscribers, and be-
cause Of this larger list and the con-
sequent better service that the
Courier could give. the official pub
lication OF the county matters was
ordered in this PAPER.
The list sworn to by the publisher
of this paper is a bona fide list, and
as such was verified by the court.
Bona fide in English means actual;
without fraud; in good faith" and
that is exactly the character OF the
Courier list. We expect every sub
scriber TO pay the price of the sub
scription charged against his name
whether he be one year or two years
In arrears. In the stringency of the
times we have not bounded these
people to force payment, but We
know that they are taking the paper
In good faith, and that they do not
intend to defraud the publisher out
of his just due.
The Courier has by far the largest
list OF bona fide" subscribers, and
the court so satisfied itself and act
ed within the law and in justice to
both the public and the paper when
It so held.

PROHIBIT THE SEINE.

The recently organized Josephine
County Game and Fish Protective as
sociation has unanimously endorsed
each Of the provisions advocated in
the Courier a week ago regarding the
opening Of the Rogue to commercial
fishing. The man who fishes for sport
Ican work in absolute harmony with
the man whose business lies in the
sale OF the royal chinook and the sill
verside.
Prohibition Of seining is one OF the
principal regulations that should fol-
low the opening OF the river. The
seining grounds are largely toward
the mouth OF the river, but by keep
ing the seine out the netters have a
much better opportunity to make liv-
Ing wages or better, and the cannery
at the mouth OF the river will be kept
supplied by these same netters. with
rs miles OF the river open to the
commercial fisherman the interests
of all must be fully considered. The
local commercial fishermen had re-
solved against the seine some days
ago realizing that few fish would ever
reach these upper waters II the seine
was permitted

500 REWARD 800.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken intern
ally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation Of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send

PROFITS FROM COPPER MINES.

The reports OF the big Michigan
copper mines show that the present
high prices Of copper have enabled
the mines 10 declare immense diyi-
dends. One company alone. the osce-
ola Consolidated, made net earnings
OF more than a million and a quarter
dollars. The report Of this company
shows that the rock handled during
the year yielded but 14.7 pounds Of
the metal to the ton, and that the
mine was worked at great depth,
thereby increasing the cost Of produc-
tion.
In Josephine county there are
mountains OF copper ore many times
richer in metal than the Michigan
ores mentioned above. Some Of this
Josephine ore runs so heavy in the
copper that its owners can pay $40
per ton TO have II hauled to transpor-
tation points after having paid for its
mining Then freight is paid upon
II to the smelter and yet a profit is
left.
When the price OF copper falls be-
low II cents, many OF the Michigan
mines have to cease operations. The
cost OF production and the low grade
of the ore mark that figure as about
the limit below which nothing is left
for profit.
This figure indicates the stream OF
wealth that will come from southern
Oregon mines with the opening up Of
the mineral country by the building
OF the Pacific-Interior and other pro-
jected lines. These mines will still
be Yielding their fortunes years after
the forests have been converted into

PoULTRYMEN SHOULD EXHIBIT

The next big local event will be
the annual exhibit of the Josephine
County Poultry association, with
dates OF January 14th to 18th. With
the strides that the poultry industry
has made during the year, and the
development that is promised dur
ing the coming season, the show be-
comes worthy of more than passing
notice, for it is representative of one
of the most promising lines of en-
deayor in southern Oregon.
The most of the poultrymen are
yet amateurs here, and many of
them hesitate at entering into the
competition at a public exhibit. But
there is no better educator than that
same competition. For the coming
show Judge of proven ability has
been engaged, and he comes direct
from other shows where the cream OF
the western poultry yards has been
exhibited He will Judge by card,
and every entry will have its good and
its bad points plainly indicated in
black and white when it leaves the
judges hands. BY retaining these
cards and by watching and studying
the birds that have been passed upon
by this Judge any poultry owner
can obtain a liberal education in the
matter of show birds. FOR this rea-
son every breeder should put all of
his fowls that are good lockers.
whether he thinks they are winners
or not, in the show for the simple
reason of having them scored There
might be one in the bunch that

BAIT FOR THE EASY MARKS.

The woods are still full Of victims
who bite at the o. e. c. land location
game. 1t is a matter OF almost daily
occurrence for a batch OF "applica
tions" for purchase to be filed with
the county clerk of Josephine county
as with the other counties within
which these lands are located. There
are operators at work in nearly all
the big centers east and west. and
the gullible put up rich fees to these
locators In the belief that they stand
q good chance OF getting valuable
lands at a small fraction OF their
worth.
Some OF those who have been 80
licited to make applications for pur-
chase OF these lands have written to
the state authorities, and in reply,
Secretary 0lcott has received the fol-
lowing incorporated in letter from
Assistant United States Attorney
Johnson:
THE people OF this country have
been swindled out OF hundreds Of
thousands OF dollars by these loca-
tors within the last 10 or 10 years,
the fee charged for the so-called To-
cation and tender to the railway
company. OF the purchase price Of
$500 per quarter section being any
where between 500 and $4OO upon
each application.
III the government is successful
In It's contention and wins this suit,
the disposition of the lands thereby
recovered to the government will be
a matter for the attention OF con-
gress and the lands may either be en-
tirely withdrawn from sale or a for
est reserve created, or an entirely
new provision made for the dlsposl-
tion thereof"
These o. & c. lands that are so
attractive to the Easy Marks would
in many cases prove capital prizes II
they could be obtained as easily as
the locators represent. Some of
these lands lie adjacent to the city Of
Grants Pass, as they do TO all cities
in the o. & c. territory.

RAILROAD IMPROVES BUSINESS

There is a noticeable filling up OF
the town since the announcement
was made that work was to be COM
menced on the Pacific-lnterior rail-
way. A few come here in the hope
OF obtaining work, but more come to
see what manner OF town it is that
has adopted an original and effective
method OF doing things. Grants
Pass has advanced materially in the
estimation OF the public through its
action in going after this road, and
she has at once placed herself in the
very lead of progressive western
cities.
Things in a business way have
taken on the air of activity, and real
estate sales are being made. 1t is
hopeful, however, that there is no
attempt to initiate property prices be-
cause OF the coming of the road, but
to hold them down and give the pur-
chasers an opportunity to reap some
of the benefits that will surely fol-
low in the way of increased values.
Saturday more men were put in
the field, and the Pacific-Interior
construction camp No. has all the
appearance OF the real thing. Mon
day morning more teams and men
will commence work, and construc-
tion will be crowded as rapidly as
possible. No outside labor is yet be-
ing employed, and will not so long
as Grants Pass and Josephine county
can supply the demand.

The Improvement OF the harbor will
be one OF the requisites OF the giving
