agreed to take as.

succeeded, well and good; If not, he
would still join me at York, and we

POLITICS IN TROY.
The City Election Will Be Held
 September Q.

Troy. Aug. 5.-(speciaJ.)- .)-The pri- mary election for this city is set for September ?, and city politics is be- ginning to warm up. While as yet no one has announced for the mayorality 1t is thought that Hon. Charles Hem derson and MT. s. A. Williams. Jr., will probably be candidates for that office. Both are highly considered and are very popular. and should they be- come opposing candidates the cam- paign will be interesting.

If it is not analysed he can afford to sell 1t at forty cents ton less than the others. but in order to protect the planter the fertilizer ought to be analyzed. Any lawyer with very much experience in the agricultural districts has seen more or less litiga- ton growing out of the sales of fertt- lizer. I have defended such suits time and again. and have established In the courts, and it was so found by the iuries that the fertilizer consisted principally of lime rock mixed up with a little stuff to give 1t the smell. The analysis Is necessary in order to pro tect thc farmer. The combination Is complete and the sales are agreed up- on by those companies before they en- ter upon a sale anywhere. Now you pay fifty cents a ton upon fertilizer. Many small farmers. and speak from what I know. buy four, six. eight hun dred pounds or half ton. and the charge Is twenty-five cents upon a nalt a ton. NOW ne never tnlnKS or that and never feels 1t. You would not sell it to him as merchant or as dealer one cent less when retailing 1t than you would with the tax. Be- cause. when you sell fertilizers to small farmers around that way the merchant invariably puts on his per- centage. and the fifty cents per ton is not considered. The farmer does not lose much in the end.

Five Inch Nugaets.

X. J. Kubli, one OF The owners of the
Swinden-Kubli placer in the Applegate
district, was in town Saturday. The
owners OF this mine have had very
prosperous run this season and are now
engaged in the operation Of cleaning ur.
Mr.. Kubli had with him several nuggets
picked up on the bedrock during the
season and among them was one which
seemed a very patriarch of nuggets
This particular piece measures 414
inches at its creates. length and is
almost = inches wide, yeriiable slab
OF gold. 1t is fat and not very thick
and its value is about sl25. 1t is almost
pure gold, showing hardly trace Of
quartz or other degrading matter.
This mine is situated on a small trib-
utary Of the Alplegate which comes IN
from the south side few miles below
the mouth Of Williams creek. IL is sit
uated on the opposite side from and al.
most opposite Oscar creek, which has
become famous for its nuggets. The
creek under consideration is very sim
lar to Oscar creek, in general character
istics as in nugget producing capacity.
This is property formerly known as the
Cuata- mine and has been producer Of
large pieces eyer since it was pened.

Pacific Pine Needle Co.

Mr.. and Mrs. ID. A. Cords, since their
return from the city, have been making
preparations for operating the pine
needle factory as steadily and constantly
as the needle supply will admit.
At the meeting Of the executive com.
mittee OF the mining and commercial
club recently, Mr.. and Mrs. Cords stated
the present situation OF the enterprise
and their Intentions as to its future
operation. A large amount OF money
has been spent in the equipment Of this
factory and in the introduction OF its
products to the public and the operators
assert their willingness 10 spend twice
as much more In its conduct. They ask
no bonus or financial aid OF any kind
but il is their desire to be assured OF the
moral support AMI good will OF the
business men OF Grants Pass and the
community in general. This they
justly feel to be no more than their
right, as they have worked up the enter
prise fiom the foundation. Special
mach inery had TO be devised for the
treatment Of the material and ii was
only after series OF experiments that
the best pattern could be determined.
All the machines in the factory are now
protected by patent.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cords were obliged 10
Great market for the products OF the
factory and to that end went TO San
Francisco and opened store room in
a suitable location. They have adver.
tised widely by letter and circular, a
fact which is OF peculiar advantage to
Grants Pass. The number Of products
made from the pine are surprising 10
the unin!tiated and some Of them are of
great value.
The operators would like to be assured
oil supply of so tons for the first month
and after that expect to increase the
out put to 80 or 100 tons monthly. For
the factory to operate TO satisfactory
extent, the owners should receive four
tons Of needles daily. During the

The capture OF AgLinaldo and his
subsequent taking the oath Of allegiance
To the United States lie expected 10 have
most desirable effect on the insurec
tion. Aguinaldo's step was productive
OF considerable surprise and the opinion
finds expression that he is slipp-ry
customer and might perhaps be schem
ing to gain his freedom by strategy.
Those who are In the best position to
know, however. do not share this opinion
but believe him to be sincere. Since
his capture, he has been great deal in
the society Of ArrelAno and other brainy
Filipinos and has realized the magma
nimity and real purposes OF the Amer.
lean government and Is 80 placed as
to see matters In different light fom
his former conceptions. Aguinaldo, II
Is reported, Is very desirous OF visiting
the United States and after that wishes
to retire to private life. 1t will prob.
ably be some time before order will
reign supreme throughout the islands as
guerrilla method Of warfare will prob
ably be kept up for some time by small
parties. There are always number Of
men who follow warfare for the sake OF
Its msrauding and pillaging features
and eagerly embrace any excuse to con.
tinue q disorderly course. Such men
have no regard for the welfare Of their
fellows and, in the present instance 1t
is this class who will make trouble long
after the patriotic Filipinos have all
become reconciled.

A Few Words On Vaccination

The school board having heard tha,
parents are Withholding their children
from vaccination in the expectation that
they can return to school in the iall with
out being yaccinated. wishes all parents
and guardians to understand that A
certificate Of vaccination must be shown
before a return to tho school room will
be permitted This action is taken in
the beet interests OF all concerned, and
similar action is being taken in all the
larger schools OF this state. The board
would suggest that immediate action be
taken by those having children of a
school age under their care, rs no excep.
tons will be allowed from this rule.
To those who are financially unable TO
have their children vaccinated. we
would suggest that they call upon some
member Of the school board, as suitable
provision has been made for such cases
Should there be any MISUNDERSTANDING
in regard to this matter, any member
Of the school board will be pleased TO
make II plain.
