Valley and is also an Inconvenience to
the business men of Grants Pass and
jackson The establishment Of a
through stage line would be an ad-
vantage to the settlers along the
route and to the Grants Pass and
Jacksonville business men. petit
ton is now being circulated to be
presented to the postoffice department
asking for the establishment of this
route. Tuesday X. J. Kubli, post
master at Kubli, and ]. L. Wool.
bridge, prominent Applegate
farmer, were in Grants Pass securing
signatures to the petition. The busi-
ness men of this city readily signed it
and Postmaster @, E. Harmon gave it a
strong endorsement. The petition will
be circulated at all the postoffices
along the route and at Jacksonville.
As all the postmasters along the pro.
posed route have agreed to endorse
the petition and the endorsement of
the leading men of both Josephine and
Jackson county has also been assured,
so there is little Likelihood but what
this new mail service will be estab.
lished by the postoffice department.

THROUGH MAIL SERVICE
FOR APPLEGATE VALLEY
Daily Mail and Stage Line From
Grants Pass to Jackson
Vile Is Planned.

The proposed change in the Apple
gate mail routes, outlined in the
Courier some time since, is likely to
be accomplished and direct route es-
tablished from Grants Pass to Jackson
willie by way Of Applegaie Valley
that will supply Murphy, Davidson,
Kubli, Applegate and Ruch on the
main route and Provolt and Will
Jams by side line from Murphy.
The plan is to have mail each
way daily, stage to leave both
Grants Pass and Jacksonville ch
morning making the trip through in
about eight hours The distance
would be "a miles over one Of the
best roads in Southern Oregon and
having no heavy grades The entire
distance is we'll settled and the
stages would do a good business in
handling passengers and light
freight. The seven Applegate Valley
postoffices that it would serve have
each large number Of patrons and
this betteTment to the mail service
would be greatly appreciated by
them.
As the routes are now arrangei
part Of the Applegate offices get their
nail from Grants Pass and part from
jacksonville. with nc route connect.

MORE PROMISING MINES
IN MT, BALDY DISTRICT
Hidden Treasure Company and
Warner Bros. Each Open
ing Rich Veins.

j. l.. Warner who has been in the
Mt. Baldy district for the last two
months, where he is interested in
several mining claims left Thursday
for his home in or.land. where he
will remain until about February or
March when he Will return to resume
his mining operation. His brother :,
who is Interested with him in the
claims, left Tuesday for his home in
Bellingham, Washington, TO return
again early in the spring.
The Warner Bros. own claim that
is located on the east slope of Mt.
Baldy that has n most encouraging
prospect. They run drift ON the
vein aud got to a depth of l2 feet at
which point it was full foot in
width and was steadily widening.
1t carries high values and gives every
promise Of becoming a profitable
property. Early in the spring War.
ner Bros. will begin work well dow
the side Of the hill aud will drive a
tunnel to tap the vein at about the
200 foot level. If the ore is of the
class that it is in their persent work
ings they will take up permanent
mining operations and have their ore
treated at the Grants Pass smolter,
which can be reached by tramway
of about three miles to Savage Rapids.
Warner Bros. are also interested
IN group Of adjoining claims held
by the Hidden Treasure Mining
Company. The other m mbers of
this company are Portland men and
ID. NJ. DePuy, of Grants Pass. One
of these claims was what was for
merly known rs the Old Shot and il
credited with being very rich. The
company has four men at work driv.
ing tunnel that will tap the vein at
the 100 foot level Some surface
work has been done and at the lowest
depth the vein was found to be fully
four feet wide aud shows to be a
good low grade body of ore Of very
uniform values. development will
be- continued until the vein is fully
opened and then arrangements will
probably be made foT handling the
ore at the smeltor at Savage Rapids.

GRANTS PASS GOES DOWN
TO DEFEAT AT ASHLAND
High School Boys 10 Give the
Normal Team Hard Tussle
Next Friday

The football game last Saturday,
played at Ashland by two teams
representing the Ashland Normal
School and Grants Pass High School
resulted in a score OF 10 tJ in favor
Of Ashland Normal
During the first half Of the game
Grants Pass seemed 10 have the
stronger team and had no difficulty in
making gains through the Ashland
line, the entire half being played In
Ashlann's territory. BY straight line
plunRes the Grants Pass boys carried
the ball within seven yards Of Ashland
goal. Here they were held for
downs. Ashland punted and Grants
Pass again worked the ball down in
front Of Ashland's goal Time was
called for the first half with the ball
hye yards from the goal. Neither
thus scored In this half, though
Grants Pass did all the playing aud
would very probably have scored had
the captain known Of the shortness Of
time. The failure TO score in the first
half rather disturbed the Grants Pass
boys and this feeling told on their
defense In the second half Ashland
went around the ends for long gains,
us ny greater back, and end runs to
good advantage Ashland scored two
touchdowns in this half, one Of which
resulted In goal and also kicked a
goal from the field.
The Grants Pass boys were defeated
fair and square aud they know how
IL was done. Thoy are confident that
in the next game they can stop the
play that defeated them. The rext
game with Ashland will be- played at
Grants Pass November 10th All the
leading business men will close store
from 3 til o that afternoon to give all
a chance to see an exciting game

ABOUT SOUNDS OF BATTLE.
How the Modern ProjectiIes Affect

Hcw the Modern ProjectiIes Affect
the Senses on the Battlefield.
Only those who lie in the firing line
and hear the constant screech of the
shells as they cleave their terrible
way through the air above know the
true sounds of modern war. says a
writer in Worlds Work The whip
like smack Of the bursting shell, the
swish of the scattering bullets, are
nothing to the hooking screech of the
messengers of death as they pur-
sue each other, as if in competition
to complete the awful object of their
hideous mission.
The whole welkin is discordant with
their tumult; you feel the rush of
misplaced air, splinters sing in your
ears, the earth is in constant trem-
bic with the violence Of the dis
charge; you feel it pulsate against
your cheek pressed to the moist mud
Of the parapet, and then bullet saps
the life-blood of the comrade whose
elbow has touched yours days and
night for forty hours. There is a
limit to human endurance in these
straits.

The Railroad Rate Bill,

1t is not necessary to discuss the
provisions of the house bill for the
regulation of railroad freight rates.
The bill, which admittedly is imperfect
it does not cover private car lines
for instance will not be acted on at
this session Of the senate, which is not
so amenable to popular opinion as the
house. but which will yield in time.
The pressure of popular sentiment
has already worked wonders. It has
forced 1876 Representatives to vote for
the Escn-Townsend bill while only
seventeen men, from New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, and New England,
went on record against it, There have
been many remarkable conversions
since the presidents message urging
that the power to fix rates be conferred
on the interstate commerce commits.
sion was sent to congress.
The men who are influential in the
railroad business have been forced to
parley with sentiment whose grow
ing strength they recognize. They ad-
nit and deplore the existence of gross
evils--of rebates, Determinations,
'midnight rates. and private car
lines--and say they will be thankful
for legislation to do away with them.
They are ready to do or submit to any
thing provided the power to fix rates
is not conferred on the commission.
1t is not impossible that by the time
the next congress meets and the senate
will have to deal with the question of
fixing rates, the railroads may have
come to the conclusion thag it will be
better to acquiesce in the general
principles Of the house bill, lest a
radical measure be adopted.
Even if this should not happen, the
senate NAV he expected to yield to a
popular pressure, which will be more
urgent six months hence than it is
today. The demand for the regulation
of rates is a settled conviction, not a
a passing whim-Chicago Tribune.

the eight electoral votes Of Maryland |
one, that of Mr.. Charles Bonaparte
was given for the Republican candi-
dates. The declaration Of the vote of
Missouri for Roosevelt and Fairbanks
created a storm of applause from the
Republican side and all eyes were fixed
on Senator Cockrell whose seat in the
senate will probably be filled by an
other man as a result eff the land slide
of that hitherto staunch Democratic
state to the Republicans. The ap-
plause lasted for more than a minute
and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., in the
gallery, was one of the most strenu-
Gus in his approval. The declaration
of thirty-nine votes from New York
for the Republican candidates was an
other occasion for jubilaton, and for
some time the reading of the results
from the eastern states. Pennsylvania.
dnd the states OF the middle west made
Republican applause somewhat mon
otonous and fatiguing, but finally it
came Senator Bailey's time to read a
certificate of election. Senator Frye
handed him the report from the elect
ors of that state of which it is said that
General Sheridan said if he owned it
and hell, he would live in hell and
rent that state out. Applause from
both sides Of the chamber greeted the
Texas Senator when he impressively
declared that the electoriai vote of the
State of Texas had been cast for Alton
B. Parker and Henry g. Davis The
announcement Of the electoral vote of
all the states required nearly an hour
Wyoming the last in the alphabetical
list. was finally read and president pro
tempore Frye, counted the tally sheet
and announced at the conclusion that
the record showed that the whole num-
Der of ELECTORAL votes cast was 476;
that OF these 239 were a majority; that
Theodore Roosevelt had received 336
votes for president; Charles Warren
Fairbanks 336 votes for vice president;
Alton B. Parker no votes for presi-
dent and Henry f. Davis, 140 votes

record should be deemed a sufficient

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY Is, 1905.

The railroad rate commission bill
as proposed by the Governor, has been
introduced in both houses of the legis-
lature It's aim is of course fair rates,
the removal of discrimination between
individuals, and comfortable accommo-
dations for the public. The bill vests
three men, appointed by the governor,
with the authority to enforce the
law The terms of the commissioners
are to be six years, and their salaries
the terms Of the first batch OF appoin-
tees are to begin to expire, and there
after one commissioner is to be APP
pointed every two years. Appoint
ments to be valid, must be confirmed
by the senate and concurred to by the
assembly. The only appeal from the
ruling of the commissioners is to be the
circuit court Of Dane county. The
burden of the proof is to rest upon an
objecting railway company to show
why any ruling OF the commission
should not be enforced. While all
members Of the legislature are in fav-
or of passing some sort of a railway
bill, it is believed that there will be
some opposition to passing it in it's
present form,
