Provolt Items.

J. ". Turvey made a trip to Grants
Pass last week.
The, ,Provolt baseball nine expect 10
ne invited to join the Southern Ore
con base ball League next summer.
Although the weather has moderated
considerably IN the last week the sno"
still hangs on and the placer miners
are able to operate the mines on account
Of low water
Albert York and Frank Knox have
begun the work OF pumping the water
from the old Anaconda quartz nine
Development work for the purpose OF
showing up the mine is the object
At the Mountain King quartz mine
on Powell creek, a vein OF rich ore
has been recently discovered. jeff
Raney has been hauling the frame
and stones for an arrastre at this place
this week.
The recent storm has deposited an
immense amount Of snow in the high
mountains. Farmers and miners are
rejoicing over this as it is indicative
of plenty of wafer for mining and IL
rigating in the spring and early sum
mer
Everett Holman went to Grants
Pass Friday. He reports that there
is two feet of snow on a level on up
Der Powell creek, and that the miners
have suspended operations The re-
cent flood did no more damage at the
| Sharp Bros. and Holman mine than to
carry away three Of the fume boxes
ISIS and Son" the successors OF
Ma and Pap" who write ostensibly
from Bridge Point, Applegate, came
out with an interesting budget Of
news in last weeks Courier. To oul
mind, these items are suspiciously
like those which might be gathered
by person sitting around the Pro
volt postolice. If we have a rival il
this field we should be glad to be in
formed Of the fact SO that We may h
properly prepared for indefinite re
tirement from active business.
We are pleased to see the interes
taken in cur work of reporting tn
Happenings Of this valley, by difer7n
persons. For instance, "Dixie, ~ O
, KubH, makes a feeble attcmpt t
create a misunderstanding in regar
to our news item about the Provolt
Missouri Flat base ball game It
rather late in the day to be dispuGn
a about the facts Of the case an
q "Dixie" probably expects we hay
5 forgotten about them. We have moi
and if the Missouri Flat boys wish
q reminder, the Provolt nine stand
{ ready to administer another drubbin
to them.
rriagtors Of this section are il
clined to think that the Courier an
Grants Pass Board of Trade have b,
come their champions without ii
asking in the matter of placin
screens at the head of bitches.
+ far as the miners are concerned
e makes very little difference as the fs
u do not run to any extent during Il
Is mining season But during the irr
e eating season there are many mo-
o fish destroyed through irrigation tina
d there are hatched in all the hatcheri
ID of the state. The cost and trouble
e. putting in screens is very little con
o pared with the advantages to be d
rived from them. XYZ.

comic nor funny but silly and con

A matter that has absorbed u good
deal Of the public interest this week
is that OF the Rogue river bridge
Some Of the merchants of Grants Pass
seeing that the ugly gap in the south
approach remained unchanged for
nearly three weeks, became naturally
impatient aud inclined to take matters
into their own hands. Their action
has caused some friction between
themselves and the county court and
as q result, Commissioner Lovolaoc,
who had the work in charge, has
handed in his resignation. As mat
ter Of fact very thorough investiga-
tion as TO what had been dono, was not
made before taking action and this has
placed the county court apparently in
an unfair light. Probably II the
court had anticipated the delay in get
ting material which has occurred, they
would have provided Immediately
some temporary way of crossing but
the delay was not anticipated. The
order for timbers was sent in immo-
diatoly but there was delay In filling
the order. Meanwhile Mr.. Loyelaco
was quietly making preparations and
obtaining material. He was getting
all things in readiness and so shaping
tho scheme that the different details,
Of preparations would bo ready ut
about the same time Then, when
all things were ready, he intended to
put in the bridge quickly, permanent.
ly and to stay. The'quiet preparation
was feature not appreciated 10y the
general public who wanted to see
something done to the bridge. 1t H.
to bo hoped that Mr. Lovolacc will be-
induced to reconsider his resignation.
During the time he has been in office
he has done excellent work for the
county and has saved for IL several
thousands of dollars In bridge work.
He is the most valuable imam that the
county has had in office for many years
and we can III afford to lose his ser.
vices. He is u thorough bridge
mechanic and his work is of quality
that will endure, 1t is pity that
communication of good work cannot he
moro freely expressed.
