PATENTS RAILWAY TIE
Invention Is Attra ctinS Attention
OF Railway People in All
Pr rts of Country.

Q. G. Daniels has just received a
patent for a steel railway tie which
has all the Indications of beiug of
practical value in the railroad world.
The tie has the advantage of being
more indestructible than wood both as
to the lasting quality and the pro.
lection against fires, 1t is made of
sheet steel which gives it a spring
Ing tendency not found in cement or
cast ties. The main advantage is the
effectual prevention of the spreading 2
OF rails, which is responsible for so
many Of the recent railway wrecks.
Mr.. Daniels has received many
propositions from various parts of the
United States from manufacturers who
wish to secure the right to manufaot-
ure the ties and from people who wish
to secure the state or district rights
for its sale. 1t has also attracted the
attention Of the heads Of the 8. p.
%. Mr.. Daniels has not yet finally
decided on the manner in which he
viii put his patent on the market.

MUST REVERT TO PEOPLE
CONGRESSMAN Hawley Making a n
Effort for Betterment of
Land Situa ation.

Congressman Hawley, has been in
Southern Oregon for the past two
weeks looking into the status of the
S. P. land grants, and investigating
the correctness of the popular demand
for the release of those lands, that
they may be placed on the market at
the price of $3.50 an acre, Mr..
Hawley says he fonnd the people q
unit in their demand for lands to be
taken over by the government or put
on the market by the railroad people
at the price stated in the original
grant. .Then gentleman also stated
that it is his firm conviction that the
people will succeed in their fight for
the restoration of these lands. Mr..
Hawley is taxing active interest in
his matter and is giving it his in
dividual attention. The people of
Southern Oregon are glad to have
Mr.. Hawley champion their cause.
because he goes at anything he under.
takes with determin alton to win
out. and he is putting all the vim of
his strong personality into this fight
for the public's right.

WillLumber on Granite Hill

That Grants Pass is iu the midst of
a forest distict and not likely to ever
suffer from fuel famine is proven by
the fact that sawmill is being
erected just outside the city limits on
the Hill road short distance west
Of the race track. This mill is being
pot In by DeArmond Bros, aud will
have capacity of 20. 600 feet per day.
The timber will be had from the
slopes of Granite butte and fully a
million feet of good quality eau be
readily hauled to the mill. The log
ging will be done by J. S. whismaD
and he began hauling logs last week.
The mill will be put in operation in
a few days. A feature new to saw.
mills in Southern Oregon is that this
mill will be able to sell all the slab
wood, sawdust and waste, these being
contracted for by the Grants Pass
Cold Storage Company and other
powers in this city. There will be no
waste in the woods for all the tops
and Gull logs will be cot into wood for
the Grants Pass market

BRIDGE QUESTIONS In
JACKSON COUNTY
New Bridges Needed Across the
Rogue at Gold Hill and
Woodville.

Bridges across Rogue river is the
question that is now uppermost with
the settlers along the river about
Gold Hill, Rock Point and Woodville.
The bridge at Gold Hill and at Rock
Point are old and about to fall dow
and must be rebuilt and Woodville
has mo bridge other than a foot
bridge. The bridge at Gold Hill is at
the eastern edge of that town and the
Rock Point bridge is two miles west
of Gold Hill. Gold Hill lies imme.
diately on the bank Of Rogue river
and the citizens Of that enterprising
town Of 800 people are endexvoring
to have jackson county dismsntle the
old bridges above and below town and

HOIST THE FLAG
JUNE IA, FLAG DAY
Honor tho Anniversary OF the
Adoption Of the Stars
and Stripes.

The anniversary Of the adoption Of
the Stars and Stripes as the National
flag 10 Jone IA. One hundred and
thiry years ago on that date, June IA,
l777, Congress enacted that the flag
Of the Is United States be Is stripes,
alternate red and white; that the
Union be ID stars, white in field
Of blue, representing q new constella-
tion. No provision was made at that
time for new stateS, and tn. future
growth Of the United States was
evidently not considered by congress
at the time the act became q law,
hence IN 1918 another enactment was
found necessary to provide for repre-
sentation of new states in the flag,
and congress ordained 'That from
and after the 4th day of July nest, the
flag Of the United States be l3 hort
zontal stripes, alternate red and
white, that the union be 20 stars,
white in blue field and that on the
admission of a new state into the
union, one star be added to the union
flag; and such condition take effect
on the fourth day Of July next sue
ceeding such admission "
In 1897 the American Flag Asso.
citation was formed. having for its
object the promotion f reverence for
the flag, and now Flag Day has be-
come to be recognized as national
Anniversary by the American people.
Throughout the larger cities the ami
versary is observed by liberal dis
play of national cJlors. and in many
instances the decorations are elabor.
ate and beautiful.
The flag always carries admiration
and patriotism with it, and this an.
niversary of its adoption should be
observed throughout the city. From
the entrance of every home in this
city the flag should wave on June.14.

MRS. WICGS OF THE
CABBAGE PATCH
Vivid Rendition of That Charm
ing Story by Mrs. Laura
Thomas Gunnell.

The reading and entertainment
given by Laura Thomas Gunnell at
the Opera House last Friday evening
under the auspices of the Epworth
League of the Methodist Church, was
q very successful affair. A large
entertainment proved an enjoyable
one for all. The chief feature of the
svenin g's entertainment was the read
ing by Mrs. Gunnell of Alice Hogan 8
popular novelette,: MRS. Wigs of
the Cabbage Patch" Preliminary to
this were two musical numbers-an
instrumental duet by Miss Lacosta
Mangum and Miss Alma Woke and
vocal solo by Margaret Meade
Barnes, accompanied by Miss Ethel
Palmer. Both these plumbers were
well given.
Before taking up the main reading
of the evening. Mrs. Gunnell gave
two minor pieces which not only
put the audience in splendid humor
for the evening. but gave opportunity
for the entertainer to display her
wonderful versatility. Laura Thomas
Gunnell is no less charming, no less
capable than the Miss Laura Thomas
who appeared before Grants Pass
audiences four and five years ago. To
be truthful, marked improvement is
shown in her present work over that
so admirably done before. She holds
her audience with a firmer grip. and
makes a clearer. more vivid picture of
the scene or character portrayed.
She Is free from the mannerisms that
characterize so many readers and elocu-
tionists And she has the facial ex-
preston and the voice necessary to de-
pict varied scenes or emotions.
No matter how many times one my
have read MRS. Wigs .of the Cab
bage Patob," he will learn many
things new in the story when he
hears it given by Laura Thomas
IGunnell. She divides the story into
Eve scenes, and when she is done
there is nothing more to tell. The
hearer is taken down to the Cabbage
Patch, that ramshackle section of !
Louisville, and led to the gate and |
into the door of the "wiggs home, -
the only house in all the cabbage
patch that can boast a tin roof "
Then the quaint and ever philosophic
Mrs. Wigs is introduced, aud in
little while one knows the whole
family, including Asia Europa and
"Cuby." Mirth-provoking are the
scenes resented the-Sunday shcool
class, the successful doctoring of
"Cuby'', the decrepid old horse
picked up from the street, and the
theatre party. There are scenes
with heart throbs, too, in the death
of brave little Jimmy, the suffering of
the family with cold and hunger, and
the illness Of Dick. The big hearted
Mr.. Bob" and the sweet. souled
: Christmas Lady" are admirably
portrayed by the reader, and the whole
story is given a fitting climax in the
bridging of the gulf of mi>under-
standing between the estranged
lovers. L her rendition of the book,
egiven, by the way. without the aid
of the book itself) Mrs. Gunnell loses
herself completely. That is why the
hearer loses sight of the graceful.
splendidly poised woman on the stage
and sees only the people in the story.
And that is the thing that makes
Laura Thomas Gunuell reader of
rare ability. Grants Pas, is glad to
claim her as its own.
