ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY.

Today is the anniversary Of the
founding Of the Daily Courier. Six
years ago the publisher believed that
Grants Pass had arrived at the point
in Its, development when It needed
and would support daily newspaper.
For six years the Courier has tried
to be such newspaper as would
merit the support Of the community.
II has issued six times every week,
few holidays excepted, during that
period, having published 1851
papers, not including today's issue or
the weekly edition. 1t has covered
the local field as fully as was possible
under the circumstances that sur
round the publication of a paper in
Grants Pass, and has at all times re-
ceived the full United Press leased
wire service. covering the world with
its news-getting facilities. 1t has oc-
cupied a most unique position in the
world of newspapers, for its field has
been most limited, yet it has carried
metropolitan features in its makeup.
To publish the Courier, modest
though it may be in dimensions and
limited in circulation by the lack Of
population In It's field, has represent
ed much of effort and OF no mean
expenditure Of financial resources.
The payroll alone is approximately
$1,000 every month, this represent
ing but part Of the expense OF the
publication Of the paper. Unless the
paper held the confidence of the pub
lie, and was such a paper as would
draw the patronage Of the public, the
publication would Of course havebeen
impossible. A paper can be no great
er than the community 1t serves will
permit 1t to be, permission coming
through patronage. But all papers
do not succeed even when surround
ed with conditions that might war
rant success. To the extent that the
Courier has succeeded in a most cir
cumscribed field. the publisher and
his employees, who have co-operated
In such success, feel certain sense
Of satisfaction. They have an un-
bounded faith in the town and in the
community, and their work has been
builded upon a faith that now seems
soon to be realized. There is every
indication that an industrial awaken
ing is here, and that Grants Pass and
the Rogue valley are to prosper with
an unbounded prosperity. The
Courier is glad to have had a part
in bringing about this awakening,
and now to be a part OF the new life.
It shall strive to merit the continued
good will OF the people and to serve
them to the utmost OF It's ability.
