satisfied for taking the condition of
the modern town, GrsntsPass has been
orderly and more free from the gamb-
ling and vicious element than any city
of its size in Oregon. Gambling, that
will last as long as card parties are
fashionable, has been so completely
suppressed that it is only carried on in
the greatest secrecy and not regularly
in any one place. All the professional
gamblers have been driven out Of the
city as have the pimps and other hu-
man vultures. Not a hold-up has oc-
cured during the year and the burglar
les have been fewer than in any Of the
larger towns Of Oregon. Drunk men
find their stay on the streets Of very
short duration and roughs clined to
make disturbance are landed in the
cooler before their fighting blood IL
fairly up. Such saloons, as were in.
clined to become rough resorts have
been kept under control, and as order
ly places the saloons Of Grants Pasi
above the average Of saloons. Grantl
Pass may be congratulated, il, during
the coming year, the city has as goot
all enforcement Of law and order as il
has had during the present year.

THE THANKSGIVING DAY
More Generally Observed Tha n

Thanksgiving Day was very fully
observed in Grants Pass. Business

KENNEL SHELTER TO BUY
SOUTHERN OREGON ORE
Will Pay Good Price for Siliceous
Ores for Flux for Their
Sme elter.

II. G. Moulton Of the Rogue River
Engineering Company, returned Fri
day from weeks trip to San Fran.
cisco and to Kennel, Cal While in
San Francisco lie made arrangements
Tor his firm to be the Southern
Oregon agents for the Risdon Iron
Works.
Mr. Moulton stopped for several
days in the big copper district
about Kennel. He states that the
new smelter being put in at Kennel
by the Mammoth Cope Company,
will soon be in full operation. There
are to be three furnaces each of a
capacity of 300 tons per day, giving
the smelter a capacity Of 800 tons Of
copper ore per day. One furnace was
blown in three weeks ago and the
other two will be blown in shortly.
Within the next 12 months two more
smelters will be in operation near
Kennel and others are prospective with
certainty of being built The Balak-
lava Copper Company are erecting a
smelter. which they expect to blow
in early in the spring, and the Trinity
Copper Company are soon 10 begin
work on smelter, which they ex
pect to have completed by next fall.
The Keswick smelter. Mr.. Moulton
states is being torn down and moved
% a new location on San Francisco
bay. This smelter was a success and
was paving big dividends, but en-
countered too many injunctions tC
permit Of 1t being run at Keswick.
When the Iron Mountain copper mine'
were being developed large number
Of farmers settled in the vicinity ant
built up a profitable business in selling
produce to the miners and latterly t
the smelter men. When the smelte
began operations the fumes killed of
the timber and vegetation near it.
and the farmers fearing their crop
would be destroyed sued out injuno
tions and forced the smelter to shu
down. Now ranchers scattered abou
in the little valleys in the vioinit!
are without market for their pro
duce, and their farms are likely t,
be turned back into stock ranches.
Mr.. Moulton while at Kennel mad
arrangements to be the purchasing
agent for Southern Oregon to bu!
siliceous gold ores for the Kenne
smelter. Owing to the character o
the copper ore handled by the Kenne
smelter large amount Of silica is re
quired as flux. Much Of the Rol,

No smells in the Arctic.

Their habits are not exactly what we should call cleanly. but you must remember the air is so cold and sc clear that sanitary arrangements are not needed, and what would be disa- greeable and pestilentiaI in q temperate climate is unnoticeable there, for we have no smells in the Arctic regions the air is always pure and nothing can decay Germs and bacteria cannot live there. and that is why so few diseases are possible.
 When do you expect to leave the ship and take to the sledgesT
 ''The first week in February. We shall establish our base at the north of Grant Land and spend the winter there. The sun will rise in February but, before 1t rises. there will be long twilights in the middle of the day We must get back to our ship before the night returns in the late autumn"
 And how will you spend the long nights of next winter?"
 Tt Is a principle of mine that all preparations for the sledge journey shall be made in the winter: so, instead of taking my things with me, take up the materials out of which they are to be made and the men spend their time in constructing the sledges, the harness for the dogs. the whips. the clothes everything that may be needed. Each man builds his own sled and there Is a healthy rivalry among them as to which shall make the best This keeps us all busy and, therefore, happy and contented.
 Thanks to Mir. H. H. Benedict, we have a pianola and a large quantity of music in the cabin with which we shall be able to while away the hours we can spare for recreation. Mir. Benedict

FOUNTAIN KILLED NEGRO.
Bad Black Resisted Arrest and COm-
 panion Was Shot.

Brewton, Aug. 12.-(Special)-Ne has reached here of the killing of a negro by c. K Fountain at Williams, McLauchlin & Co.'S turpentine camps near Local, in the western part of the county a few days ago.
 Mir Fountain was attempting to ar rest negro by the name of James Reese, who was in debt to the firm and who was trying to escape from the camp when Columbus Donnelly. an other negro, fired upon him with a A caliber revolver. Mir. Fountain seeing his only chance was to shoot, fired two shots at Donnelly, one of them taking effect in the neck and throat, the wound causing death some hours later. Evidence at the preliminary trial showed that the shooting was done in self defense, and MT. Fountain was dis charged from custody. .
 The first cotton of the new crop to be marketed in Escambia County has been received at Atmore two bales hav- ing been brought in to that market.

 There are several other things which Commander Peary hopes for. but which lack of funds has prevented him from procuring. The members of the Peary Arctic Club. especially its president, Morris K. Jesup, have contributed gem erously to the fund of t150.000, which the voyage entails. but nearly s40,O 900 more is urgently needed. and the date of sailing depends to some extent on how soon thls can be gathered.
 Are there any mosquitoes in the Arctic?' asked General Grant.
 Not fin the extreme north," replied Peary, but along the coasts of Green land an1 Grant Land they are fiercer and more numerous than in Panama or Brazil. They disappear. however. when the land is left behind and we get on the sea ice"
 Could you not. after leaving your main base. make caches of stores at intervals on your trip north and pick them up for use on your return?"
 If we did that we should be obliged to make such caches in the ice, and when we returned we should be likely to find they had been swept away. That ice is floating and Is often broken up by storms. We meet great Assures and often stretches of blue water to cross when we have to turn our sleighs into boats"

bers voted to pass a former ordinance over his veto, after stating they had read his veto message He criticised the Council because of utter disregard. as he saw 1t, for the city charter. and concluded his message with these words: "A charter to guide us when 1t suits us and to be set aside when it does not suit us, may as well be torn to pieces and cast to the winds" This communication occasioned a warm re- ply from Councilman Blackmon of the First Ward. He took exception to that portion which intimated that he had disregarded the city charter or tried to shield a violator of the law. and stated that Mayor Kilby would not tell him either as a councilman or pri- vate individual that he had done so. He then moved the passage of the ordi- nance over the Mayors veto. Coun- cilman Cooper of the First Ward was then recognized and spoke in defense of Mayor Kilby's action. He said that he was looking at the matter from what he conceived to be a legal stand point, but that if 1t became a moral is- sue he challenged Councilman Black mon to name ten men who would ap- prove of his course over their sigma lures in the papers in the city.
 He also referred to a card, said to have been published by Mir. Blackmon shortly after his election stating that he would represent the moral element of the city in the Council. Councilman Lewis also spoke in defense of the Mayor, and MT. Blackmon stated that Mayor Kilby had made his attack on the Council in his absence and probably knew when he sent the communication that he would not be present when 1t was read. The ordinance was then passed over the Mayor veto by a vote of to 2.

Yes. they had marriage licenses to sell here.
 Yes, they would perform the wedding ceremony here If the bride and groom preferred it.
 Chief Clerk Bernard Gaston was quite friendly and polite to his youth full and embarrassed viitors in the probate office. He assured them that if they were old enough and earnestly desired to get married, they could be married just as tightly in the probate office as anywhere else. He explained to them that he was amply qualified under the law to make the two hus- band and wife If they wanted 1t done immediately.
 There was quite little crowd from West End in the office. perhaps four or five couples. They retired for con- ference. Unlike the Portsmouth con- ference. they had no trouble in agree ing upon terms and the question of in- demnity was not mentioned. They were quite willing to be married in the probate office and in fact they wanted 1t done at once.
 Moreover, they astonished the chief clerk by telling him that 1t was to be a double wedding. There were two couples there who wanted to be mar

ried right off the reel. They were youthful, but they were still old enough to get licenses and be married under the law. Moreover. the prospective grooms showed that they were more than able to pay the charges which the law prescribes.
 So one set of licenses for Joseph Love and Annie Burdick were issued and paid for. Immediately another set of licenses for John Burdick and Lula Jordan were issued and paid for. All was made ready for the double we'd ding.
 It was a sort of a family affair, too for the bridegroom in one of the we'd dings was the brother of the bride in the other wedding. Accompanied by their friends they stepped into the pri- vate office of Judge Gaston. Chief Clerk Gaston said the word that made the four two.
 So 1t happens that over in West End two different honeymoons are In progress. And 1t so happens that the probate office of Montgomery County which has almost as large marrying record as the Little Church Around the Corner in New York has the credit of another double wedding. and there have not been many double weddings in the history of the office.

"The Eskimos will cut bricks of snow eighteen inches thick and build them up. using water to freeze them togetheer in a solid mass until these deckhouses are covered on the sides and top They will build out on deck a regular vestibule of snow in front of each door. and we shall be quite coZy inside With this protection we need far less coal than you would imagine.
