C|TY'HEALTH OFFICER
DISCUSSES THE FLU

The article appearing in yester-
days Courier under the heading
Many Flu Cases." and attributed
to DR.. j. C. Smith, county health
officer, is quite untrue and very
misleading, because 1t says, there
are now 1873 cases OF influenza in
the county, 125 OF them being in
the city" Just how or why such a
report was made is a mystery, the
object of which Is difficult to under
stand when we stop to consider what
1t means to the business OF the city
and general welfare of the whole
community. Outside people will not
go to disease infested city to trade
or shop. and they are wise in not
going.
The facts Of the situation are, at
the time the report was made there
we're exactly 81 cases Of influenza in
the county-all but one case being
in Grants Pass. Quite some differ
ence between so and 125 cases as
reported yesterday.
From the very beginning OF the
epidemic in October up to and in
Guiding yesterday forenoon there
had been reported only 1874 cases to
the county health officer. And in
the period between November 14th
and 28th, or for two weeks there
was not a single case reported in the
county. And j don't believe we had
any cases during that time. Then
from November 28th or last Friday
up to and including yesterday fore
noon there were the 81 cases report
ed.
understand that the school board
at their meeting yesterday decided
to not close the schools in view Of
the present outbreak, which is in a
very mild form, which in my judg-
ment is the only practical thing they
could have done, because we are go
ing to have these sporadic outbreaks
all through the winter, and very
likely next winter unless medical
history fails to repeat ITSELF and It
would only mean that the schools
would be closed and opened alter

nately for four or five weeks every
other five or six weeks until the
warm weather comes next summer
and stamps the thing out.
What we need now Is more CO.
operation and consideration with
and FOR our noighbors and the teach
ers OF the various schools, and not
so much long whiskered Bolshevik
propaganda with It's secret under
hand agitation. Think OF your own
precaution always and avoid crowds

wear sufficient clothing to keep your

enough bed covering to keep you

IRRIGATION

The placing of surveying crew
in the field by the Gravity District
Improvement company today as a
preliminary to the construction OF
the gravity ditch to irrigate approx
imately 5000 acres of fine bottom
lands west of the city, is the first
step in the solving of this commun-
ity's greatest need-the irrigation OF
its lands.
These landowners determined that
to secure the needed water for their
lands they must put their shoulder
to the wheel and solve the problem,
and they are going about it in a
practical business like way. With
the financial aid assured them they
will succeed and at the lowest pos
sible cost to themselves; in fact their
lands will not be bonded at all.
They are working under the ages
old plan of pulling together-coop-
Grafton. BY intelligent cooperation
any practical objective may be at
tanned, as capital is always ready
and willing to aid those who are
ready and willing to aid themselves.
1t is from this plan of cooperation
that we should draw lesson which
will be of great benefit to us in the
development of the natural resources
of Josephine county, county rich
ly endowed by nature with excellent
soil, plenty of water, unexcelled eli
mate, vast forests, and great va
riety of minerals. BY applying the
cooperative plan to other sections
needing irrigation, as we'll as to the
development of other resources, we
are bound to succeed. and at the
lowest possible cash outlay.
The members of the Gravity Dis
trict Improvement company are to
be congratulated on the fact that
they have looked their irrigation
problem squarely in the face, and
then proceeded to solve the same,
and the community at large should
stand squarely behind them in their
efforts to accomplish the one thing
so vitally needed for the prosperity
Of Grants Pass, namely irrigation.
