AN EXCITING RUNAWAY
Water Company's Ice Wagon
Makes a Speedy Trip.

The big team which works on the
Water company's ice wagon indulged
in lively runaway Wednesday morn
ing. The driver, Bert Kellogg, was
delivering ice at Hotel Josephine,
when the team became frightened By
hose and started to run. Bert made
gallant effort to mount the wagon
from behind, but was unsuccessful and
was finally spilled out with numerous
blocks of ice. M. @. Ament's buggy,
tied to post in front of the Office of
the Advance company, escaped demol-
ition by only few inches. Tho
team turned east into A street and
found the mud too deep for good run
ming. They then turned into Ninth
and just in front of the Silsby resi-
dence one Of tho horses slipped and
fell, entangling himself in the harness
and could not rise. The driver had
followed ON foot and soon had matters
Strengthened out. The horses were

available space in the hall was utiliss

seat was occupied. A number of the
militia boys attended in uniform.

gram was given. The opening num-
Der was a male quartettc by Messrs
Coe, Van Dyke, Moore and Booth,
which was received very appreciative-
ly by the audience and an encore was
demanded Col. Crawford then took

surprised and delighted at the amount
of high. oratorical ability which he
displayed As a speaker he is ready,
fluent and has happy faculty of ex-
preston As he has an incxhaustible
store Of "reminiscences, his talk was
interesting in the extreme. He gave

TO lRRlGATE THE VALLEY.
Office Opened by Advance Irri-
eating Company.

The Advance Electric Power lrri-
eating s. Mining Co, have opened an
office in the Brown building on Sixth
street, opposite the court house. This
company is an auxiliary of the Golden
Drift Mining Co. who are putting in
the large dam on Rogue river about
three miles above town. C.G. Ament
is manager of the irrigation enter
prise. He has had large experience in
irrigation matters in Colorado where
he resided prior to coming here to take
charge of this enterprise and his
knowledge of the subject is thoroughly
practical
The project is to construct ditch
which will cover the valley lands
about and below Grants Pass and will
carry an abundance of water for irri-
CATION. By the power furnished by
the dam, the water will then be
pumped to the necessary height,
Preliminary surveys have been made
on tue proposed ditch line to dis
lance of about nine miles below Grants
Pass The company is now ready to
make contracts for water and the
ditch will be built if the necessary
amount of water can be contracted.
To that end, the representatives of
the company are anxious to meet all
the farmers, gardeners and orchardists
of the valley. Work of construction
will be commenced Immediately if
the patronage will warrant it.
While the most of the land about
Grants Pass produces good crops with
out irrigation, and some of it is very
productive, yet the productiveness of
all of it would be immensely increased
by irrigation. Even on the most fertile
Of our bottom lands, crops are cut
short by the dryness Of the late sum
mor. With irrigating facilities two
or three crops could be raised in a sea
son and each would be greater than
the one that is produced under the
present conditions. In addition to
this there are many acres of good land
under the proposed ditch line that is
too dry to produce good crops without
irrigation. On nearly all Of our red
uplands, the moisture drains off
quickly in the spring and the hot sun
Of summer dries them up before crop
can get its growth. On these lands, a
little water at the proper time would
work a marvellous change.
As an instance of the value of irri-
cation, Zone Of the oTchardists below
town, whose land produces large
crops without being irrigated, expert
monted one year to see what his land
would produce when worked to some-
where near its full capacity, He Sc
lected a small piece of ground about
20 by 60 feet in Dimensions, watered
it from the well, and fertilized it.
Re raised three crops in the season
and estimates the value of the produce
.at $40.
An irrigation system properly hand
led would work miracles in this valley
and would be an enormous boon to
the agricultural industry.

the two men who were held there IN
der suspicion of stealing two horses
from w. NJ. Morris of Rock Point
The men were given a preliminary
hearing at Medford Thursday, were
bound over to wait the action of the
circuit court and were taken to Jack
sonvillc. Neither of the men is Lyons
who was recently arrested and escaped

strongly toward their conviction.

LEGISLATURE CONVENES
Brownell Is President and Har.
ris Speaker of House.

The Oregon legislature organized
onday afternoon with George @.
Btownell, of Clackamas county, as
president of the senate and L. T. Har-
ris, Of Lane county, as speaker of the
house. The caucus of the senate re
publicans took Is ballots before a
change of one vote gave the victory to
Brownell. Brownell's nomination was
made unanimous upon motion of his
opponent, Smith of Multnomah.
In the house caucus, 10 ballots were
required to make choice. Just be-
fore the last ballot, Eddy, who bad
lost several votes to Harris, withdrew
in the latter's favor, and Harris was
elected. Upon motion of Davey,
the third candidate, the nomination
was made unanimous. 1t is understood
that in making committee appoint
ments Mr.. Harris will deal very hber-
ally with the supporters of both Eddy
and Davey.
At the close of the organization both
houses adjourned out of respect to the
memory of the late Congressman
Tongue
Both houses of the legislature have
put on their working clothes, and bus
iness cares and discussions have re-
placed political cares and discussions
among them temporarily. In the
senate Tuesday II concurrent resolu-
tions one joint resolution, one joint
memorial, and "a senate bills were
presented and read.
The most important feature of the
session was the introduction by Hunt
of Multnomah of the Lewis and CLARK
Exposition appropriation bill. The
measure was passed to its second
reading and ordered printed, Eunder
suspension of the rules In the house
this measure is in charge of Malarkey
of Multnomah, who purposed to pres
ent it in the afternoon as soon as the
presentation of bills is reached in the
regular order. There is strong deter
mination upon the part of the Multno-
nah delegation to expedite action on
this bill, and no prospect of opposition
has developed so far.
The senate passed the house
concurrent resolution providing for the
preparation of suitable testimonial
of tribute to the memory of the late
Congressman Tongue. Myers of Multi
nomah introduced bill providing
for free ferry at Sellwood. A
large number of the measures present
ed and read were of minor Importance.
The victory of the Fulton forces in
the matter of the organization has
been accepted in the best of spirits by
the yanquished, and to all outward ap-
pearances harmony prevails through
out the republican ranks. Both Pres
ident Brownell and Speaker Harris
have already demonstrated that they
are we'll qualified for their respective
positions, and there is every prospect
that the work of the session will pro-
ceed expeditiously from now on.
The Lewis and Clark Exposition
bill was presented in the house by
Malarkey, of Multnomah, Tuesday af-
ternoon. The bill was passed under "a
suspension of the rules to the second
reading and ordered.
