The attention which Grants Pass is
attracting in the public eye is well
evidenced by the space which the
newspapers OF Portland and else
where give to news from this source.
Both the Oregonian and the Journal
Of Portland have had frequent ar
ticles upon the front page Of their
respective publications dealing with
the activities In the Grants Pass dis
trict. The Journal featured the story
Of the coming Of the sugar factory
upon Its front page, and Sunday II
featured the activities in the mining
field. There is lively demand up
on the part Of the general public for
the news about Grants Pass. That
Is the reason why the Courier is daily
adding new subscribers to It's list.
many Of them going to people at 9TH
er points who want to keep in touch
with local development.

DOUBT RETURN Or
THE RAIDER MOEWE

London, Mar. 6.--Several London
newspapers expressed doubt today
that the German raider Moewe had
eluded the British blockade feet and
had returned safely to Wilhelms-
haven, as announced by Berlin. They
believed the story was circulated to
throw pursuing British warships on
the trail.
The Times was expert, however.
accepted the Berlin statement as
true, and wrote:
THE possibility OF an enterprising
captain breaking through the block
ade inward as well as outward has
frequently been demonstrated. The
Moewe's captain certainly executed a
desperate adventure OF skill and
courage"

GERMAN OPINION ON /.
SENATE ACTION

Berlin, Mar. 6,~-Americans who
have oanvassed the situation here to-
day reported that the senate vote
tahling the Gore resolution warning
Americans not TO sail on armed
merchant vessels materially lessened
the possibility of German-American
break on the submarine Issue,
Berlin newspapers differ in their
interpretations OF the vote. Most OF
them agree that the senate would
not be likely to interfere with the
administration plans unless tho ne
gotiations seemed leading straight 10
war.
The Cologne Gazette asserted the
vote was without meaning,

THE HIGHWAY TO THE ILLINOIS
VALLEY.

The road building problem in Jose
phine county is its most difficult one,
The county court is confronted with
scores OF needs for the expenditure
OF cash. but the treasury is in de-
pleted condition. more than hun
dred thousand of the expected dol
lars having failed to find their way
into the county till because Of the re-
fusal of the railroad company to pay
taxes upon the grant lands for three
years. This is sum Of money that
Josephine can not afford to have tied
up at a period In her development
when it is most needed. and every
citizen Of the community should come
to the aid Of the court in finding the
best possible way around the diff
Guilty. The Pacific highway is already
in pretty fair shape. and with prom
ised assistance from the state can no
doubt be put in most creditable con-
dition for the seasons travel. But
It is the road leading into the Illinois
valley that needs immediate atten-
tion. and all the attention that can
possibly be given it. During the pre-
sent season the country along the
route Of the highway through the
Illinois valley and to Crescent City
win command wonderful amount
Of attention. It VIII be visited by
thousands Of people and will wit
ness more development than has
come to It in years before. Already
the mines at Takilma and Waldo are
opening upon an extensive scale, and
were the roads in better condition
the returns through ore shipped
would be much greater. This ore
tran,c over the highway is necessarily
pretty hard on the road, and 1t has
been suggested that there could be
. plan Of cooperation between the
county and heavy users Of the road
