INTERESTING FIGURES FROM
THE WATER DEPARTMENT


f There has been expended by the city
water department during the last II
months the sum of $40,32O.72. OF which
approximately $4,000 was paid for
water rights and ranches on Cotton
wood creek, which are now owned by
the city. The cost of operation and
of extensions and improvements to
the water system during the past year
has been $14,32O.73, or little more
than half the income from that source.
The revenue derived by the city
from the water department during the
period mentioned was in round num-
bers $4,000, an excess of receipts
over expenditures of about $4,000, or
$1,000 month.
The appropriations made by the
council for the city government last
year were s2S,000, but the 'expendi-
lures for that purpose were $50, 0,12431,
an excess of s2,124.31 over the amount
carried by the appropriation ordin-
ance. The amount set aside for muni-
cipal expenses for the year ending
March 81, 1908, is $4,000, but the re-
venues will easily reach that sum and
no deficit will be carried over

John D. LLloyd and Joe Walton. de-
PENDANTS in the liquor cases taken up
to the supreme court on appeal from

months ago. have within the last few
days paid into the city treasury the

fines which 1t was decreed they should
pay for violation of the city ordin-
ances. The refusal OF the supreme
court TO grant supercedeas In these
cases resulted In their settlement by
the defendants. The suits are still

SOUTH FIFTH STREET
SHOULD BE ATTENDED TO

Vigorous complaint is being made
on account of the dilatoriness of the
city authorities in completing the re-
pairs on South Fifth street. From the
postofiice corner south to river street
a large amount of dirt has recently
been hauled for the purpose of bring
ing the roadway up to the proper
grade, which has been ground into
dust by the almost constant traffic
passing over it, Nothing has been
done to pack it down and the dust has
become very disagreeable to the pub
lie. The first heavy rain will convert
it into mud that will make the street
almost impossible unless it is given
a coating of sand. or shale, before
such an event takes place
The dust is from two to four inches
deep at present and is getting worse
every day. The only way to mitigate
such nuisance is to cover it to a
depth of eight or ten inches with sand
or shale. Bad as it is now. it will be
much worse after the first big rain.

CHANGE TO BE MADE
IN FAIRPLAY ROAD

The county commissioners will In
few DAYS inspect the route of the pro-
posed cut of on the Fairplay road. and
IL it appears feasible to them 2 change
In the road will be made. Instead, OF
going up Currant creek, as is now the
case, road will be built up Cotton
wood creek, the cut on beginning at
Don Champions ranch and ending nj
Kings ranch. where II intersects the
old roadway The proposed change
would lessen the distance to Canon
City from the Stirrup ranch and the
Black Mountain country about ten
miles. A petition has been presented
TO the commissioners asking that the
change be made.

CxNON ELKs HAD GOOD
TIME AT FLORENCE

A delegation of fifteen or twenty
members of Canon City Lodge, B.sP,
o. E., went to Florence in aubomo-
biles Friday night, where they were
the guests of the Elks of that city at
the festivities connected with the ded-
ication of their new lodge rooms.
There were about one hundred and
twenty-five people present and the
occasion was in many respects one OF
the most notable In the history of the
Florence organization.
A feature of the affair was a superb
banquet, which was followed by a
number of post prandial addresses, all
of them in excellent taste
Among the speakers was Col Sell
lers of this city, who in the course of
his talk, invited the people of Florence
to visit Canon City next Wednesday
night and witness the parade of the
Booster Club. Col. Sellers stated that
the Arkansas valley was large enough

lers, '.is to work in harmony for the
development of our splendid natural
resources. To antagonize each other
would be suicidal Canon City should
help Florence and vice versa, as II is
only in this way can our destiny be
worked out and both communities en-
joy the growth and prosperity they
are entitled TO by their matchless To-
cation and surroundings"
Several other addresses along the
same line were made and a feeling of
fraternity and mutual helpfulness en-
gendered that cannot fail to be to the
advantage OF both towns.

Of big lime industry so soon as
transportation facilities can be had to
the Applegate Valley where there are
immense deposits of both limerick
and marble. Lime has been burned
on a small scale on both Cheney
creek and on Williams creek and
bricklayers and plasterers state that
it is by far the best lime brought to
Grants Pass, being much stronger than
either the Puget Sound or Eastern
lime. For making lime-sulphur spray
solution the fruit growers have found
the Applegate lime the best that is to
be had Sampson Bros, in the manu-
facture of spray solution in this city
found that the Applegate lime gave
the best results of any lime that they
could get. This lime has proven in
repeated labratory tests to have a
higher and more uniform strength
than has the Roach Harbor lime that
Is so largely used here. One of the
chief causes that fruit growers have
such difficulty in making spray
solution that Will kill the pests is
that the lime they use that is i'm

Of the same strength. Sampson
Bios, had that difficulty and only by
making labratory tests we're they able
to determine the quantity Of lime to
use in order to have sufficient to max e
the perfect chemical action ON the
sulphur that would give high grade
solution. There was such variation
in the strength of the lime that 1T
took fully 25 per cent more Of some
lots than of Others to get the required
action on the sulphure. If the local
lime can possibly be had 1t will be
used exclusively hereafter in the
manufacture of spray by Sampson
Bros, whose plant has been taken
over by the Grants Pass Canning
Company and will be greatly en-.
lsrged. The builders would give the
preference to the Applegate lime and
II would be a profitable investment

BASE BALL NOTES
Standing Of the Rogue River Valley
League: Won Lost Per Cent
Ashland VS.. A. A.C.

Last Sundays game between Ash
land and the Local A. A. G. was
another one of those games that are
sometimes played between the coming
generation of ball tossers and Pernoll
again demonstrated to few of the
toys from up the valley, bv tanning
II of them, that there is no use in
trying to bat when the ball looks like
a white bean sailing through the at
mosphere. In the first inning the
as Ashland boys took their places at
the bat, it was simply 1, 2, 3. then
Grants Pass took their chance to see
what they could do with the ball.
With Smith first up, singled to first
and while Phelps and Carter famed,
stole second, Pernoll came up hitting
an easy one out to third, who pro-
ceeded to see how far he could throw
it over first which gave Smith mag
nificent chance to come home which
he Immediately took advantage Of,
after which Riggs famed, retiring
the side. With Ashland to the bat,
Cans hit to center field which Riggs
easily took in. Larson struck out and
Wicks went first on balls while
Doherty proceeded to strike three
times at the ball without any great
damage to it, so he, with eight of his
pals went ont to chase balls for
Grants Pass awhile and they finally
got three men out and took another
chance at bat, but all in vain. Smith
was first up again in the third, got to
first on an error and was thrown out at
second while Phelps went down to first,
then Carter came up and did a nauhgty
little trick by histing one over the
right field fence and took his time to
trotting around to home with Phepls
as the advance guard. This is the
first ball knocked over the fence on
these grounds this season and the
second one ever put over, the other
being knocked over last year by
Hanks, in game with Jacksonville
The rest Of the game went on
quietly, Grants Pass making one
more run, and it began to look like
a shut-out for Ashland till the Sth
when Grants Pass made a very bad
and costly error. on account of a
Misunderstanding of trick play on
the part of Fsubian, the third base
man, when Phelps threw to third
quickly, expecting to catch Wicks, the
first Ashland man to reach third, of
his guard. but there was no one there
and the ball went bounding merrily
on out into the field while Wicks
came home with Doherty who in the
meantime had reached second, came
in an instant later, this being the
only two runs made by Ashland,
which left the game with a final
score of to 2 in favor of Grants
Pass.
