The Daily Rogue River Courier

son daily newspapers which are re-
ceiving an abbreviated telegraphic
service. and this city will hereafter
receive the same news service as
Rossburg. Marshfield. klamath Falls.
The Dalles. Corvallis. Albany. Ore
gon City. Astoria and other cities
larger than Grants Pass.
This curtailment may be consider
"a In the light Of q war necessity.
inasmuch as the excessively high
cost Of paper brought on by the war.
the additional war taxes. and the in
creased rate Of postage which will
b imposed upon the newspapers
makes Il imperative that economies
be practiced.
The change in service does not
mean that the Courier viii not re-
ceive the first news-for II will, 1t
simply means that II will not receive
the mass Of detail. a small portion
only Of which 1t has been possible
heretofore to publish on account of
the limited type-setting machine
capacity. The Courier will continue
to get the United Press telegraphic
service. receiving its messages over
the commercial wires instead Of over
the Courier leased wire.

Courier telegraph operator for near
ly seven years past, has taken a sim

We noticed the article regard
ing the herd law, written by Mr..
Johnson of Portage, in last
weeks Record, but cannot agree
with him on this subject. The
writer considers the herd law
one of the greatest blessings
that have come to the Island.
While it is true that there is a
little feed growing along the
roads in places, there is certain
ly not enough to repay for the
bother and Inconvenience it
would cause property owners.
However, where there is feed
growing outside of ones fence,
it is an easy matter to herd a
COW or two for an hour or so
each day, and not be troubling
other people in doing so. Ger
tainly it takes a little time, but
it also takes time to keep repair
ing fences, and getting in and
out of wagons TO open and shut
gates every time you wish to go
anywhere, not to say anything
of the time it takes to chase
around the roads hunting your
cows when it comes milking
time.
