A ROAD SUPERVISOR
WHO DRAINS ROADS
Supervisor Gentner Doing Good
Work In Murphy District
Favors Cash System.

o. +. Gentner was in Grants Pass
Monday. Mr.. Gentner has fine farm
on the divide between Rogue river
and Applegate vallies. his place being
located in the pass that can be seen to
the southeast from this city at the
foot of Green mountain, but IL IL over
tho divide and cannot be seen from
town. Mr.. Gentner holds the position
of road supervisor for the district on
the Applegate lying between Grants
Pass and the Williams district and he
is credited with being one of the
most practical road men in the
country.
MI. Gentner has done some excel
lent road work in his district this
year, and he has made good showing
for the small amount of money he
had to expend. The drainage of the
roads which is q matter so seriously
neglected by most road supervisors is
carefully attended to by Supervisor
Gentner and one OF the first things he
does on improving section of road is
to thoroughly drain it. Mr.. Gentuer
is strong supporter of having
larger road tax and then have the
road crews hired by the month and
under the direction of competent
foremen and all work to be supervised
by an engineer who should establish
all grades and see that the roads were
built so that they would be substan.
tial and permanent.

summer he hauls logs at the various
mills in the valley. For this season
Mr.. Wickstrom is hauling logs with a
four. horse team and truck at the up
per mill of Silsby & Kesterson on
Evans creek. Mr.. Wickstrom was in
Giants Pass Friday and he stated that
the two mills of Silsby & Kesterson
on Evans creek were being run ON
full time. At the upper mill four
trucks, each drawn by four hcrses, are
used for hauling to the mill, while at
the lower mill three trucks are used.
The yarding out is done by other
teams.
Mr.. ,Wickstrom stated that the firm
has 25 teams hau ling lumber to Wood
willie and later in the season will in
crease the number so as to get all the
lumber to the railroad before the
roads are rendered impossible by the
rains in the fall. Tho lumber cut
this season is sugar pine ana is Of a
fine quality. The larger part Of it is
shipped to Eastern factories.

CITY POUND DOING
THRIVING BUSINESS
Country Stock Raids Town Yards
Grants Pass Discarding Vii
lage Day Fences.

The Grants Pass pound is now
doing thriving business and hardly
day passes but what 1t becomes the
destination of some COW or horse that
has strayed in from the country. The
ranges have so dried up that farmers
stock that have to rustic for living
are tempted within the forbidden
limits of Grants Pass by the green
grass and plants in the lawns and the
suculent feed in the gardens. Not
withstanding the fact that the police
round up stock almost every day. yet
it is n common occurrence for irate
citizens to be seen, generally at night
and in brief costume, with the stars
aud mis- neighbors as silent witnesses,
while he gives vent to his feelings in
language more forceable than polite
at some luckless COW which has en-
joyed fine supper of corn, beans and
other garden stuff with an appetizing
desert of carnations and other choice
flowers and plants from the front
yard. One citizen, whom the
munching of COW brought from his
peaceful slumbers at an hour when
daylight is putting starlight to a
lively hike over the western hills,
was fully five minutes devoting him
self to ar oratorical effort before he
could open warfare with an sggrega-
tion Of stovewood, rocks, etc, oh a
hungry COW, which was enjoying q
feast in his front yard. Grants Pass
being no longer country village that
uses its streets for COW pasture Is
discarding fences about yards. as is
the custom of progressive, Eastern
towns. The old.fashioned idea OF
having n handsome yard marred by q
fence or hidden by hedge is being
supplanted by the more modern aud
the more sensible custom Of having nc
enclosure about town premises. Many
yards in Grants Pass are now without
fences and all the fences will disap-
pear with vigorous enforcement OF
tho stock ordinance. 1t is "a low esti'
mate to place the value of the yard
fences now IN Grants Pass at $40. 600,
Interest on this investment aud the
cost of keeping up these fences is q
big tax on the property owners and
that aud the first cost Of the fence is q
direct financial less for which there
is no adequate return. Gould the

pended on fences In Grants Pass b,

WILLIAMS CREEK
MARBLE DISTRICT
Jones Bros. Operating Six-Saw
Marble Plant-Have Big Ledge
Blue Notified Rock.

W. A. Jones, who with his brothers,
@. G. and G. w. Jones, are developing
a marble quarry on Powells creek,
tributary of Williams creek. was In
Grants Pass Monday Mr.. Jones was
taking orders for marble work Of
various kinds. embracing monuments
of all kinds, msntels and other marble
for house finishing. He had samples
of marble with him that was re-
markablo for its beauty and polish.
The sample was white, variegated
with markings Of delicate shade of
lead color giving it most striking
appearance.
The Jones Bros. have been operat.
ing their marble works for the
past four years, but in a sma II way
by hand, Last fall they put in mill
for saving and polishing marble. 1t
is fitted with gang frame carrying
six saws and operated by an overshot
waterwheel The water is from J.
N. Gotcher's ditch and there is ample
head to afford good power. As to the
extent Of their ledge Jones Bros. are
not able to say for they have made so
little development on their property,
but there is every indication that
they have very large deposit and it
is so thick and of such uniform tex
ture that blocks and slabs of any size
can be gotten out.
This great deposit of marble is but
23 miles from Grants Pass, which is
the nearest railroad shipping point,
with a good wagon road to afford
transportation by team from the
quarry. This marble has been
pronounced by experts to be the equal
of the best Eastern, or imported mar
BILE for decorative purposes and were
it introduced into Portland, San
Francisco and the other Coast cities
there is little doubt but what it
would soon become popular with
builders and large demand would
be had for il. For tombstones and
monuments it is equally fine and its
wavy tintings of dark color give it a
far handsomer appearance than has
most OF the colored mai ibles. The
Jones Bros. are handicapped for the
lack of capital, but they have made a
good beginning in tile inauguration
of an industry that is capable Of
large development and Of being the
means of giving employment to many
men and Of adding greatly to the
wealth Of this county.
