ANOTHER RUNAWAY.

Runaways are occurring lately in
Grants Pass with regularity. The
last one was of a serious nature and
occurred on upper Seventh street, the
delivery team of the Sugar Pine Store
being the principals.
Coming down the grade below the
residence of w. II. Freed, the horses
became frightened and dashed down
the street. The regular driver was Off
duty and the young man who had
charge of the reins soon found himself
unable to manage the runaways. The
badly frightened animals had not
proceeded far when one of them fell
and was dragged great distance by
the other, the whole outfit piling up
in a heap near the Booth barn. The
horse that had fallen was so badly
injured that he had to be hauled
nome on a dray. The harness and
wagon were badly damaged.

KESSLER'S
Chicago RACKET STORE
MELON PLUGGERs.

One of the worst kind of miscreants
known is n melon plugger. He is so
much worse than chicken thief that
there is but little need of compaIi-
son.
There are number of melon plug
gers at work in the melon fields down
the river below Grants Pass, Evi.
dence is conclusive proving them to
be hoppickers who take delight in
visiting the nearby melon fields after
night fall and plugging the big
melons, cutting open great fellows
that will weigh 30 or 40 pounds,
knocking them off the vines and doing
other similar acts of deviltry just for
the love of being mean. There is no
need of telling such people that they
ought to be ashamed of themselves for
ten chances to one they don't know
enough for that. 1t might be in
order, however, to state that if they
don't stop soon, some prosecutions
are very likley to follow.

Don't be foolish to imagine that you will be able
to get good values in the middle latter part of the
season. You will surely be disappointed. Last season
opened fall wraps early i'll September and before
the first of November all OF the better grades sold and
duplicates from 10 to 25 per cent owing to

in urging friends who have anything in wraps to buy

FIVE BIG ENGINES
viii be Required for the Electric and
Traction Co.'S Power House.

AT the meeting of the directors oil
the Electric and Traction company
yesterday, it was decided to have the
engineer prepare specifications and
to submit them for bids on machin-
cry etc for the power house very
soon 1t is hoped to have received
the bids and let contract for some OF
the machinery and for the building
by September 10th.
Five engines of two hundred
horse power each will be required to
operate the railway and electric
light, two for lighting and three
for power for street cars One of
these engines will be kept in reserve
to be used in case OF accident and
when repairs are needed to one IN
active use
1t has not been decided whether
to get gas or steam engine. With
the cheap cas- here, there are many
things ia favor OF the gas engine,
but the steam engine is the old reli
able machine for generating power.
1t is now thought probable that
the railway will traverse Walnut
street instead Of Peasants and that
it will not be built up past the Nj
4. church on North High street Ii
will reach Prospect street however
and will most likely traverse its
whole length.
