1t is rumored that Mr.. Bryan is
not quite sure whether he will be a
candidate. Perhaps, as in the case
of the intrepid Mr.. Wellman, the
wind is not in the right direction.
There is another thing which Sec
rotary Taft has postponed-the war
between the United States and
Japan. Later on no doubt Mr..
Bryan will express himself on this,
also.
Seven Billions of dollars is the

Not content with boosting taxes to
figure unheard of in South Dakota
the reform" administration would
go still further by removing the
constitutional tax levy limit. For
tunately the people have decided it
is about time to call halt. This
brand of reform" is becoming
altogether too expensive.
The bonding companies of New
York have just found out how much
the clever rogues here and elsewhere
in the United States have stolen dur
ing the first six months of the pres

the corresponding period in 1906
and 1905, is as follows: 1905
$5,234,9S5; 19O6-$3, 1929, 800; 1907
So, 482,687; total, $14,546,687 for

Andi l4ehellers n miner from New
Central, had an experience yesterday
that he will not soon forget. Andi
come in yesterday on the Pawpaw
flyer. He met a Jcolored man at Fried
mans saloon who found out that Andi
had a few dollars. The colored man
told the foreigner that he had some.
thing Of interest to show him and II
he would accompany him to a certain
place the curiosity Of the auped one
would be grautied by the promised .ex-
hibit. Andl followed the colored mans
lead and was taken to the old Fair.
mont cemetery where; the leader show.
ell that by his sdemeanor: as well as
by his color that he belonged to that
questionable gang known as the black
hand. The darky flashed loaded re-
yolver in the foreigners face and de.
nlantled his money. Leheller through
fear OF bodily harm handed over his
roll which amounted to seven dollars.
After his experience with the rob.
.ber Andi came TO the city, lodged COM
plant with Justice E. s, Amos and had
a warrant issued. Andl said that
the colored mans name is Charlie,
that hesls a small man about twenty:
:fouryearsso and ithat.he frequents
-Efleamai q u;
The warrant was placed in Consta.
BILE j. Lee Parker's hands. The OH.
Ger made dillgent search to find the
culprit but was unsuccessful. ConstaI
BILE Parker maintained a watch for
him last night until midnight but to
no purpose. The officer learned this
morning that Charlie went to Sutton
yesterday after the robbery.
This Is the fourth complaint that
has come to the authorities of .robber.

seems to be band OF colored men
here who prey on Victims that they
can work. These men fnfest certain
saloons and wait for dupes to come.

Ties are determined to clean up this
band OF parasites.

Machin cry for New Fa ctory.

The new box factory ~ progressing
slowly bot when completed will be a
plant for Grants Pass to be proud of.
The building.has floor space of 9Ox22O
feet and 10 supported by heavy tim.
bers which rest on l0i concrete piers.
The roof trusses are now being put
in place and are extremely heavy.
The roof will be very large and will
require about 10000 feet of lumber
for sheating. There are to be 20
skylights to give light besides the
lighting from the sides. The ma
chin ry is to be electrically driven
aud the differ ent groupes of machinery
are to have separate motors, ;hus
lesseniug the possibility of shut down
for repairs.
The shafting pulleys and power will
all be under the floor and will he
suppored ono oncrete piers as will also
some of the larger machines which
extend under the floor.
The lumber is to be trucked into
the factory by horsepower thus saving
many heavy lifts for the. yard men.
The machinery is arriving and being
hauled from the derot grounds to the
factory. Two cars of machinery
we're received last week from Mr.
Warreu's s old plant at Anderson. Cali
fornia and contained one double sur
face planer, three cutoff saws, three
rip saws, one band resaw, one circular
reasw, one edger, one grinder, one
blower with large part of the pipe

chine. one boring machine, one l0C
/ Il. p. electric motor. one trans
former or suto-stsrter, shafting, shaft
hangers and boxes, trucks, betting,
saws. tools, etc.
The company has been greatly
hampersd by the non.arrival oi
material, also by the delay Of the
$. p. officials iD putting in the side
/ track.
We understand that the management
expects to commence hauling lumber
some time during this month so as X
be able to start the manufacture oi
boxes as soon as the building is com
pleted. One machine new to thii
section is the Eindron, by use o.
which they are able to use up lsrg,

Island light at II o'clock on Thursday
evening, one of the passengers re-
marked that it was wonderful what q
difference such measly little light
made in ones feelings. We went to
bed feeling more secure now that We
had seen land. Our trip through the
English Channel was fine, as we had
plenty of vessels in sight all the time.
We had three ships under full sail in
view with the Isle of Wight and the
blue sea for back ground. The day
was hazy but otherwise pleasant. We
arrived at Boulogne, France, at s p.
IN. aud dropped rs Of our iassengers.
1t was a lively scene and we parted
with those we knew with sincere re-
gret. for although the acquaintance
was only of eight days, the close
companionship on steamer, gives
better opportunity to know those you
meet. The harbor lights were beauti-
full, and the light houses threw bright
beams across the bay and boats.
During tbe night we made quick
run to the Hook of Holland and
next morning at 8 O'Clock found us
entering the river Mass. The Dutch
landscape was bright with vivid
greens, and the passengers were early
on deck. One of the first things l saw
was "Quaker Oats" in large letters,
and one passenger remarked he would
always eat Quaker oats after this, it
seemed so much like home. We
docked at 8 O'Clock, the customs in
spection being of the mildest type.
At II 80 we left Rotterdam by team
for Velp, passing through lovely
green country, with windmills and
Dutch cattle in abundance. We ar.
rived at Aruhern and found two of
my sisters awaiting us. AS there was
no local train for Velp for an hour,
we took horse car instead, and it
struck us as rather strange to begin
with the North Coast Limited" in
Portland and end with q horse car in
Holland.
We are settling down to good, slow
Dutch ways, and the children are
being taught to speak the anguage
and are doing very we'll at it.
The country and towns have
changed very little. only the trees
show that l6 years have passed since
last was here.
shall endeavor to write again after
we have visited in some of Holland g
famous places. With kind regards,
Yours truly,

TWO DAYS CELEBRATION
A BIG SUCCESS
Hundreds of People From Valley
Towns and the Country In to
Spend the Holiday.

All things considered, the two days
celebration by Grants Pass was a sue.
cess. The weather was ideal AID the
attendance large, there being more
than 5000 people here from all Sec
tions Of Rogue River Valley. Medford
sent delegation of more than 300,
in it being their band of 10 pieces
uuder Prof. Norling that furnished
the music for the events of the two
days. their baseball team and big
representation Of their automobile
club that came in six fine touring
cars.
The parade was formed at 10
o'clock and beaded by the band and
Liberty car with Miss Stella Lawton,
the. Goddess, followed by the mayor
and speaker in carriages and floats
proceeded down Sixth street to J, then
over onto Front street Some Of the
floats were clever, Geo. s. Calhoun
had horselsss carriage. being home
made production, which nevertheless
had much the appearance Of the gaso-
line buggy. Ryan d Jennings black
smith were shoeing q burrow with
q draft horse shoe. Miss Mary
vanNoy represented the Columbia
phonograph girl for A. L. voorhies.
]. II. Ahlf & Son were also in line
with an appropriate display. Other
business firms were conspicuous by
the absence Of display. The Grants
Pass and Medford Tribes of Redmen
aud the local branch Of the Order Of
Pocahontas and the local camp Of
Modern Woodmen we're very well
represented by very pleasing floats
representing some feature of their
order. Many members of the order
were also in line.
The exercises were held in the
grove at the old bicycle grounds
where Senator Fulton Of Astoria de.
livered the 4th Of July Grafton.
After the exercises field day sports
were called, but owing to the lateness
only the 100 yard race was run, this be.
ing won by H. E. COOK Of Medford.
The W. o. W. log saving contests In
the afternoon were entered by three
teams who each sawed six minutes
and II seconds. They were expected
to saw five minutes but by an error
of the time keeper the first team did
likewise The contest was won by
Hubert q Rimer. 761s inches. Colvin
q Galloway cut 69I4 and Lund & Ra-
der G37S inches. Another contest was
held in the afternoon of the 9th which
was won by Rymer and Holloway,
Go. 10, against Longwell & Evans 90. 90
The display of fireworks was excel.
lent. and far surpassed that of former
