young women and girls for forced la
bor in fields far from their homes,
this seizing OF girls was done at
night without previous warning, and
the dark horror of It made the girls
go mad and their shrieks rang down
the streets, and even those who had
most courage wept bitterly, and a
great wailing arose from mothers
and fathers and sisters and children
who feared the worst for those who

This happened only recently. 1t is
but one of the thousands of crimes
the Germans have been committing

Wilson to have the voters return a

THE FLU" SITUATION
broken,

The order from the surgeon gen.
eral of the United States that all
schools be closed and remain closed
until the present epidemic of influ-
enza is stamped out is no doubt
looked upon by some, as foolish. But
the order was no doubt sanctioned
by the administration and the war
department, and is mandatory.
Those in charge of the public health
are supposed to know more about
the influenza menace than does the
average citizen, therefore their
course is no doubt the proper one to
take, regardless of the fact that
Christian Scientists declare that
''the right attitude of the mind wards
off Influenza" and who now ask
"has the world gone mad?"

PERMANENT PROSPERITY

The permanent prosperity of any
community depends entirely on
steady and profitable production,-I
not on production that is spasmodic
or uncertain,-but the production
that is steady and reliable year in
and year out.
Applied to this community this
means that our permanent prosper
fly will depend entirely on the de-
velopment of those resources that
win produce profitably year after
year, and. while, with the great va
riety of natural resources OF Jose
phine county, other lines of endeav-
OF will undoubtedly eventually come
into the class of steady producers,
the one immediate line to develop is
our agricultural interests.
We have the soil, the climate,
and plenty of water for irrigation
running past our door-the three
elements which, if combined, make
for steady and profitable production.
Nature has done her part well, but
has left for the hand of man the ap-
plying of the water to the lands.
We have made an excellent start
toward this application. On the
south side of the river about 5000
acres have been organized into an
irrigation district and in due time
will secure the much coveted water
West of the city the owners of the
fine bottom lands have perfected ar
organization for the irrigation of ap
proximately 5000 acres of land b!
means of gravity flow, and ar,
now asking the people of Grant
Pass for a franchise to run thei
ditch through the city. If tn
franchise is granted these land
owners expect to construct thei
ditch this winter and have sam
ready for service for the 1919 sea
son.
With the irrigation of the man
thousands of acres of excellent land
tributary to Grants Pass, the futur
of the city is assured for all time t
come, and it rests upon the decsio
of the voters next Tuesday whethe
we are to lay the proper foundatio
for this permanent prosperity {
not.
The landowners have made the b,
ginning and the next step is up
the voters, who should register the
decision in no uncertain manner.

POLICEMAN MIFFED

A. G. Churchwood, temporary
night policeman in Grants Pass. and
secretary of the Josephine county
democratic central committee. is
somewhat peeved over the fact that
the Courier did not publish in full
Wilson's partisan appeal to the vot-
ers to return a democratic congress.
As a consequence. Mr.. Churchwood
has issued circulars containing the
appeal and has had them distributed,
The Courier is not at present car
rying the full Associated Press SER
vice. hence the full statement of
Wilson was not published. although
the true substance of the presidents
appeal to the voters was printed.
Temporary Policeman Churchwood
says;
''The Rogue River Courier pub
lished such garbled portion of the
presidents appeal as the publisher
thinks his readers should have"
Such a statement from the demo-
cratic secretary was purposely twist
ad Nv a1sa - d;sD1oys iouOrapca N
a marked degree on his part, as the
Courier printed the news as sent out
by the Associated Press-the Courier
having absolutely nothing to dc
with constructing the article in
question. Mr.. Churchwood is not q
subscriber to the Courier, but the
fact that he closely reads the paper
is deeply appreciated.

The opinions expressed by For
eign Secretary Zimmerman to AM
bassador Morgenthau at the begin
ming of 1917 are interesting in the
light of present events, says the
Oregonian. They show that Germany
was encouraged to make war by the
devotion of Americans, particularly
of President Wilson, to pacifism
hence that a reputation for loving
peace aggravates danger of war. II
the United States had had a presi
dent who showed more zeal to main
tain American rights than to keel
peace, the world might have remain
ed at peace.

The welfare of every voter of the
City is at stake on the franchise
question. Granting the franchise
means a bright and prosperous fu-
ture, a failure to do so means a
downward trend. Don't leave the

ter should go to the polls and regis

The slight precipitation during
the past II months has caused
the stock ranges in the state to
be very short. This is espec-
tally true in the southern tier Of
counties where some cattle and
sheep have already died from
lack Of food and water. Thus
far a mild winter has been fav-
orable to stock, and in most of
the state they are in fair condi-
ton. Many cattle and sheep
have been shipped from those
sections of the state where rang
es are insufficient to carry them
through the winter.
Feed is very high and diff
icult to obtain any price. Some
cattle are being %pastured on the
agricultural lands.
The January Monthly Crop
Report will give estimates on
the number and average price
per head of horses, milch COWS,
other cattle, sheep and hogs in
the state on January l., 1918,
compared to the number on the
same date 1917, and compared to
the usual number on that date
