Mayor Ward Has an Agreement Which Binds Saloon Men to Certain Things Before Securing
 Their Licenses.

Nj .yor Ward is opposed to saloonkeepers givi intoxicants or extending privileges or at ommodations of any character to city employees. He particularly refers to guards, drivers, trusties. prisoners and members of the street force.
 Giving away or selling liquors to an n- toxicated person is another matter to which the Mayor imposes the most strin- gent objections.
 In order to carry out his ideas to pro- vide for quiet and orderly places the Mayor has prepared an agreement which all purchasers of saloon licenses must sign. The agreement not only provides for and covers the objections of the chief executive, but goes further and says that no gambling will be allowed on the prem ises of the saloon owner taking out a license.
 For a violation of the saloon law the agreement provides that the license of the saloonkeeper violating the law may be revoked without notice.
 The police department has received a number of notices complaining that cer- tain saloons in the suburban districts have been hard to handle. It is said that some have been guilty of violating the Sunday law
 The agreement proposed by the Mayor to be signed by saloon men is as follows: ''The parties hereto further agree that no goods. liquors or wares will be sold O. given to- or privileges or accommoda- 1,t,,J hx to employer or offices of the city of Bir- mingham, more particularly to guards, drivers, trustes, prisoners or members of the street force.
 Said parties further agree that they will not sell or give away whisky or other liquors to a person intoxicated.
 Said parties further agree that they will allow no gambling or games of chance to be played on their premises.
 ''It is further understood by parties hereto that on proof or information that the Sunday law has been violated in any particular the city of Birmingham may in it's discretion proceed to revoke, with out notice, the license issued hereunder.
 ''It being expressly understood and agreed that If the mayor and aldermen of Birmingham shall accept these repre- sentations and promises and shall proceed to issue such license for said saloon, that the said mayor and aldermen of Bir' mingham shall not waive any right which they now have or which may hereafter be conferred on them of revolxing the said license as provided by law when and ir such manner, as they may deem expedient or advisable to do so."

some of its hustlers that they expect
that the town will again become the
county seat of Josephine county. or
IL not that, then Of a new county that
they hope to have created out OF
section of Josephine and OF Curry
counties. This .latter day prosperity
comes from the development that is
now being made of the agricultural
timber and mineral resources OF the
section of country about Kerby. and
which bids fair to make that district
one of the richest sections Of Josephine
county. The lack of transportation IA
cilities alone is keeping that part OF the
county back in its progress, and Mr..
Austin says that the farmers, miners
and town people are alike awakening
to the need Of having their road to
Grants Pass macadamiZed and made
passable for freight teams at all sea-
sons of the year. 1t is their hope that
in another year the county will make
such a road tax levy as will enable a
substanti beginning to be made on
the improvement of this, the most
travelled and most needed road In
Josephine county.

mud, interspersed with chuck-holes
and ruts
The method Of road construction by
practical road builders is with a
grader to throw to each side Of the
right-of- way all the surface soil.
Then bring the sub.soil surface to the
required crown and grade, then roll it
with heavy steam roller This
gives the hard foundation to the road
bed and all soft places that are found
are filed with earth and rolled, and
filled again If need be, until the sur
face has an even hardness and the
grade and crown is free from high
places and says Then a layer Of the
surface soil is put on and thoroughly
rolled and other layers put on and
rolled until the roadbed is finished.
A roadbed constructed in this man
ner and perfectly drained with side
bitches, that are open to the free flow
Of water and not merely pools to hold
water TO soak into and soften the
roadbed, and with lateral tiling along
the center Of the road on ground that
is springy and wet, would give a
good road to farm districts, where the
travel is light for all seasons of the
year, provided that after each wet
spell the road is narrowed and
thorughly rolled to fill all ruts and
low places. This method Of building
and maintaining earth roads was first
adopted in Missouri, and it proved
such success that that state now has
hundreds Of miles Of such roads, and
the rest of tho country having been
shown" earth roads are now being
successfully built in many Of the
Eastern states and the government
bureau Of good roads has endorsed the
plan in the road bulletins that are
sent out from Washington.
For heavy freight teams earth
roads have been found to be useless
and crushed rock Of road material has
been found to give the best wearing
surface. On roads having only
reasonably heavy traffic. gravel and
granite sand has proven very sue
cossful. Thus the traffic is to be CON
sidered in making selection Of the
method to be used in building road.
II county courts would bear this in
mind, thousands Of dollars could be
saved to taxpayers aud the public
would have roads that would meet
their requirements.

SAVES PLATINUM VALUES
W. j. Winner Has Devised Method
for Saving Valuable Metal.

w. J Winner, manager Of the Deep
Gravel Mining Company Of Waldo
was in Grants Pass last Friday and
Saturday. At this mine, which is
one Of the big placer mines of South
ern Oregon, is accomplished feat in
lifting gravel not equaled in any
other mine on the Pacific Coast for
the gravel is shot up height of Al 4
feet to the sluice that carries away
the debris from the mine and this is
done with a head Of water Of only
1872 feet. Mr. Winner stated that they
had fine ran this season, but would
shut down during the summer months
to make some improvements and to do
some prospecting.
So far as known. the Deep Gravel
mine is one of the richest in the
United States in platinum, which Is
found in minute PARTICLES along with
the placer gold, and Mr.. Winner has
been making thorough investiga-
tion of methods for saving the plati-
mum and he has succeeded so well
that he now has ~ ounces of this
rare metal, which is worth more than
gold, ior it sells for $2l an ounce.
Mr.. Winner thinks that there is an
extensive deposit Of platinum in
Southern Oregon and that the placer
miners, for years past have been losing
thousands Of dollars worth of this
valuable mineral each season by not
knowing how to save it. Mr.. Winner
has invented a method whereby he IS
able to save every particle from his
sluice boxes aud he has generously
consented to prepare an article for
the Courier giving the details of his
procedure that the miners of South
ern Oregon may save what would
likely be good profit to their mining
operations did they know how to rec
ognize platinum and how to save it.

Judge Sewers has visited Southern
Oregon twice within the past year,
the last time making stay of a cou-
pie of months returning to Michigan
in March. The climate here suited
him so we'll and he was so faVorably
impressed with the certain prospects
Of Grants Pass having rapid and
permanent growth that he concluded
to take up his abode here Judge
Sewers writes that there ara many
Michigan people, some of whom have
large means, who are contemplating
moving to Southern Oregon, where
they hope to find a climate more salts
factory than that of Michigan and to
have the advantages of the many
openings for investment and business
that are to be had here.

FRIDAY. APRIL 2s, 1905.

The Oregon Supreme court last week
rendered decision that will have a
reaching effect on counties that
have exceeded in their expenditures,
the $4,000 limit fixed by the state con
stitution The case was that Of an
injunction to restrain Clatsop county
from inourring added indebtedness
in building court house, the court
holding that as the county was in
debt beyond the legal limit, special
tax for building court house could
to be levied. Should this ruling be
applied to other than the current ex.
penses Of the county, 1t will make a
crash with counties whose debt is
already beyond the limit.

TELLS OF OLD KERBY TOWN
Prominent Kerbyite Says the Fu-
ture Looks Bright.

J. II. Austin, who had been in
Grants Pass for the entire week in
attendance at circuit court in which
he appeared as attorney for some i'm
portant cases, returned Sunday to his
home at Kerby. Mr.. Austin is lead
ing life quite strenuous enough to
suit President Roosevelt at the old
town, that was the county seat Of
Josephine county during pioneer days,
for he is principal of the village
school, attorney y-at-law, notary
public and general utility man for
the entire community, and that he is
making a success in these various
duties is attested by the good reports
that come of his school and of the
fine law practice that he is building
up Though located at Kerby less
than year he has been so successful
with his law and notary business that
at the close of his term of school he
will give up teaching and give his
entire time to his new vocation. He
has the distinction of being the only
attorney in all the center aud south
ern part of Josephine county.
OF tho town of Kerby. which in
its halcyon days, when gold nuggets
we're as plentiful there as potatoes in
Tipperary, had a population of 1000
persons, bat which now has only
about $50 inhabitants, Mr.. Austin
stated that it is taking on new life
and new hope and bids fair to again
be one of the leading towns of South
ern Oregon, and so encouraged are

SOME GOOD ROAD POINTERS.

Road experts who have visited this
section. state that owing to the dry.
ness Of the climate aud the rolling
character Of the country that Jose.
phiDe county can maintain passable
roads cheaper than can any other
county Of Oregon west Of the Cascade
mountains They claim that with
proper drainage and roadbed rolled
with very heavy roller, 80 hard
that it will be imperviou us to rains,
that the roads about Grants Pass
could bo made passable to loaded
teams at all seasons Of the year, and
that the annual mudblockade Of the
winter and the dust banks OF the sum.
mer would be practically eliminated.
While they hold that coating Of
crushed rock, gravel or decomposed
granite would strengthen the roadbed,
yet they think IL the roads were
graded while the ground is yot moist
and then rolled with roller Of 10
tons or more weight, 30 as to pack the
roadbed rs hard as adobe brick, that
n decided Improvement could be made
over the present method Of work that
no far has not given permanent roads
to the county. As the road work is
now carried on, tho grading is done in
the spring and the road not being
rolled, is loft uneven and soft to to
become a mass of dust for the sum.

bail, once by the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court and once
by a circuit judge, Judge Watts,
and yet the jury acquitted him
after twenty two minutes delib.
Grafton In their room. Accord
ing to the logic of the Lantern
the jury should have found him
guilty.
The Gillis case, by the way,
illustrates another point in this
friendly discussion. Our posi-.
ton is that if a bail bond will
beyond all peradventure bring
the defendant into court for
trial he should be granted bail,
provided his release or liberty
cannot be considered as a men
ace to society. In other words,
assuming, as the law does, a
party accused to be innocent un-
til he is proven guilty, there
should be no unnecessary pun
ishment inflicted in advance of
his trial. Now in the case of
Gillis, that man, being denied
bail, was punished to the extent
of eighteen months imprison
ment, and yet he was finally de
clared by a jury of his peers to
be innocent.
No, the trouble is not in the
matter of granting bail. Now
as to whether the juries Of the
country are doing their duty
but that is another question.
