A Statement by DR.. Findlev

To the Citizens Of Grants Pass:
Having been placed In nomination
for the Office Of Mayor of Grants Pass,
to be voted upon at the coming elec.
tion, on Monday, December 3, have
been requested to make a statement to
you of my attitude on municipal
affairs.
l wish to state most emphatically
that If elected ii will not be as the
representative Of any one faction, bat
of the entire people of Grants Pass,
and | shall strive to give an impartial
hearing to matters pertaining to the
common welfare.
j have no desire to be radical or
force issues contrary to the wishes of
the majority. The time has arrived
in our city's growth, when it might
be well to remodel our city charter,
giving the people more direct control
OF municipal affairs as to light,
water, and sewage problems.
Any action ! may take on munich
pal matters will be governed by the
question: "What will be to the best
interests of our people2" That and
the obligations taken on assuming
office, will be the factors governing
my policy, if elected.
Respectfully,
M. G. FINDLEY.

Fancy Prices for Timber.

Prices for timber land in this part
of the Coast are going high and are
approaching the fancy prices paid on
the Columbia River and Puget Sound
for good timber land as the following
from the Ashland Tidings indicates {:
The prices recently paid by Reid,
Mason, Pelton & Ward for timber
claims in the Jenny Greek section
were: d. H. Yeager, $780, Squire
Parker, s2500; Jacob Isler, 5000 I;
Nelson, $1,000; Andy Anderson, 5000 /;
DR.. |. L. Arnold, $1,000 The claims
bringing the highest prices are rich
in sugar pine trees Mr.. Yeager,
who is pioneer of the Pokegams
region, and had probably the finest
timber tract in the district, got
fancy price, which we understood is a
little in excess Of the sum named. He
has had no trouble with fires in the
summer, and says the only course to
follow to secure protection Of timber
against forest fires is to burn off the
ground each spring before there is too
much dry stnlf; then no damage will
result from fire which may start later
in the season.

Ashla nd Electric Light Prices.

Some Of the citizens Of Grants Pass
have been complaining at what they
allege is the excessive ratio that this
city is paying for its street lights.
As compared with what Ashland is
paying under their new contract, as
the following from the Tidings shows,
Grants Pass has secured a very favor
able rate under its new contract /:
Ashland will have all night street
lights now. At the meeting Of the
city cuncil Tuesday evening, the
question Of arranging for the CITY
lighting came up. The recent propo.
siiion Of Manager Steele of the light
ing company offered to furnish arc
lights on five or 10 year contract at
So 30 and 50 each per month re-
spectively for all night service, in
lieu of the old midnight contract rate
of 1926. But on service from
month to month the company proposed
to charge hereafter s. for midnight
or IS 80 for each light each month for
all night service. In view of the vote
Of the people year ago in favor of
ownership Of an electric
light plant tho council did not feel
justified in. entering into any long
term contract. The difference be.
iween the cost Of the all night service
md the midnight service being so lit.
tie it was decided to take the all
night service at ss so per light per
month from month to month There
are 2S arc lights provided for, which
makes the city's monthly expenditure
'or lightning now run to $23s.

Little excitement or very intense
interest is noticeable as yet on ao.
count Of the annual city election
which will be held next Monday.
Though no platforms are presented, it
is generally understood among the
people that the saloon question and
the Sunday laws are the issues of the
election. The principal interest Of
course centers upon the contest for
the position Of mayor and by the de.
oision which the people make in this
regard they are presumed to give ex-
preston to their sentiment on the
issues involved There seems to be
n prospect of close race between the
two candidates for mayor. Both Dr.
Findley aud Mr.. Good are known TO
be capable and upright men and good
citizens, able to fiji the position Of
mayor in a manner satisfactory to the
general public. Mr.. Good, it is nat
urally presumed would DO more favor
ably disposed toward the saloon inter
ests than is the ether candidate. DR..
Findley, it is conceded will receive
the anti.saloon vote, yet in the event
of his election 1t is not expected that
any radical reform in this dir ction
will be instituted The present saloon
laws Of the city, when properly en-
forced, restrict and regulate the sa-
loon business to probably as great an
extent as is possible under the exist
ing phase Of public opinion. DR..
Findloy has issued statement cx-
planning his position On this subject
and there is no doubt that If elected |
he would be moderate aud fair in
this matter as in all others In the
past year we have had strong aud |
clean yet fair administration. In the
matter OF order and good government,
the city has been better conducted
than ever before and u continuance Of /
the policies under which Mayor Gil
key has worked will result in con
tinued advance in the moral standing
OF the town.
