ROUSINC CELEBRATION t
FOR GRANTS PASS
Bis Crowds are Expected From
Valley Towns o nd All Parts
of the Country.

BY far the most successful celebra-
ton ever planned by a Southern Ore
gon town is the one arranged by the
Red Men for July 4th and 9th in
Grants Pass. Intense interest is Deing
shown by thecitizens In the success of
these two days sports which are
the best array of their kind ever put
before the public in Grants Pass.
The Medford Band of 10 pieces,
under the leadership of Prof. John
A. Norling has been engaged to fur
nish music. This band is better than
ever this year and Grants Pass people
may expect some of the best music
heard here in years. Every feature
in the celebration will be the peer of
anything of its kind ever seen in
Grants Pass Lovers of the National
game will receive q treat long to be
remembered in the base ball history
of Southern Oregon. The Medford
and A. A. y. teams which are to COM
pete for honors on both days played q
10 inning game in Medford last. Sun
day with score of to 1. While the
purse for the drilling contest is not so
large as some previously offered in
Grants Pass, the contest promises to
be the best. Four teams have already
declared their intention of entering
the contest and among them are some
of the best drillers on the coast.
Another novel feature will be the log
saving contest given under the aus.
pices Of the Modern Woodmen. A
purse of SIS will be given for the
double hand contest and IS is the prize
for the single handed, 81 entrance
fee will be charged for the former
and 80 cents for the latter, entrances
in both instances to be second money.
These contests are to be open only to
members Of the NJ W. A. of South
ern Oregon.
Last, but not least on the list
of athletic events comes the horse
races Of July 9th. Some of the best
horses of the coast have heen entered.
in fact some OF the horses entered
hold coast records. A bunch of out
side horses will be here and the races
will be hotly contested.
Another pleasing feature of the
celebration will be the display of
fireworks on the night of the 4th.
The special set piece will represent an
Indian chiefs head and will be one of
the grandest and most spectacular
events Of the celebration. In addition
to this will be the numerous display
of rockets, etc. The music for the
free platform dances each evening
will be furnished by the Norling or
chestrsS of Jacksonville, the best in
outhern Oregon. Other events too
numerous to receive mention.-will be
continually going on. The parade
will no doubt be the largest ever
participated in by Grants Pass people.
The speaker of the day, Senator
Fulton, is one of the best orators of
the state and III fact the celebration
promises to be a phenomenal SUCCESS
in every way. There will not be a
dull moment-some event will be
going on every minute. Most of
the people from Medford will be here
as we'll as enormous crowds from the
various towns this side of Medford.
At the les.t calculation the visitors ON
that day will rumber 5000.

MAY RESUME WORK
ON GREENBACK NINE
Proposed Visit of Mr.. Brevort
Gives Rise to RuEaor That
Mine Will Stort Up.

W. II. Brevort, Of New York, owner
Of the Greenback mine. for years the
biggest quartz gold producer in
Southern Oregon until it was shut
down last Fall, is to arrive here about
July l. No information is had as to
the object of his coming but mining
men believe that il means that Mr..
Brevort will have work resumed at
the Greenback.
No reason was ever given as to why
the Greenback was shut down, but
one rumor was that the mine was
worked out and another that it was
scheme to enable the adjoining
properties TO be bought up cheap. Il
is most extensively developed and has
the largest equipment Of anyrmine in
this district. A depth Of 1900 had
been reached and miners say that the
ore still showed up we'll and carried
good values. Tho mill has. 40 stamps
operated by electric power, supplied
by the Condor Company from its
Grants Pass wires. There is also
complete cyanide plant. The mill
was also equipped with steam. power
but the boilers and engines have been
sold this Spring and removed. On
the upper working Of the Greenback
was q 10 stamp mill but that was
dismAntled last year and five of the
stamps were set up at the Martha
mine, an adjoining property :owned
BY Mr.. Brevort and leased to ]. M.
CLARK. 1t 10 equipped with steam
power. Mr.. CLARK has been operating
the Martha since last Fall and 10
getting good returns from the
property.
The Greenback district contains y
number of promising mining proper
ties and eventually il Is quite certain
to yet become one Of the big gold
producing districts of Southern
Oregon. A two-stamp mill operated
by water power has lately been in
stalled by Howe g. Blalock on q
mine that lies just east of the
Martha. The rock is averaging $40
ton and the vein is showing mp
well under the development work
that is being done. Should the
Greenback be again put in operation
1t will give this district boom and
cause large number of the adjoining
properties to be equipped and put on
a working basis.

average of $288, 60 per ton in gold,

richest surface propositions ever dis.
covered in Southern Oregon. and as
the ledge increases in width with
depth there is every indication that

WOMAN ADJUDGED INSANE

Adiudgcd insane by jury in
County Judge A. L. Beardsley's court
Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Isabelle
Boulware was officially declared by the
court incapable of attending to her
business affairs, and her son, Elmer c.
Boulware, will be appointed eonserva
tor of the estate. The jury was out
only n few minutes before returning
with a verdict of insanity.
The proceedings against Mrs. Boul-
ware were instituted by her son, FL
mer. Only three witnesses were in
troduced, the two others besides the
son named being a daughter, Mrs.
Jacob Esche, and her husband. All
testified to practically the same thing,
that Mrs. Boulware had been in declin-
ing health for the past year, and that
her mind had become gradually i'm
paired to such an extent that it was
necessary to appoint a conservator of
the estate in order to preserve the
county, ILL.,, where another son of the
woman resides, her husband being
dead. The other members of the fam
lily reside at Grand Valley, this state.
The total valuation of the property,
real and personal, it is stated, amounts
to about $4,000.
1t will be necessary for Mr. Boul-
ware to return to Illinois in order to
secure his appointment as conservater.
1t was stated at the trial that
the children had no desire to commit
their mother to an asylum, but would
take care of her at home.
Judge John L. Noonan acted as at
torney for the defendant, Charles
w. Taylor represented the people and
Senator Edward T. Taylor acted for
the heirs.

lege of seeing man leap off bridge.
There they stood, old and young, stout
and weak, all forms and all complex
ions-just to see man jump into the
Grand river. He had been in it many a
time; none had ever come from afar to
him.
Splash! And cheer went up from
the crowd. Prof. Bowen had struck
the water.
1t was too much for Dan. Quickly
divesting himself of hat and coat, with
out waiting for the encouraging stare of
thousands of curious eyes, he plunged
head foremost into the rapids below,
quickly following the professor.
Dan is said to be an expert swimmer,
but on this occasion the efforts of 81
Herwick were taxed to rescue the man
from the river. He was taken into the
boat used in picking up Prof Bowen,
carried ashore, dried out, and then sent
on his way home rejoicing, little the
worse for his experience.
"I forgot the collection" Dan is
quoted as saying ruefully.

MINER TAKES LEAP

Prof. Phil NJ. Bowen is not the only
guy that ever left the rails of a
bridge and split the waters of tur-
bulent stream below in daring leap

only gentleman that ever kicked the
dust off the state bridge and explored

space of two seconds.
Dan Flockart has contributed some
thing to the fame of the state bridge
and the Grand river.

Government WILL
ASSIST s1ockMEN

The following federal service order
is attracting considerable favorable
comment among the stockmen of Colo
RADIO:
Whenever the stockmen who are us
ing any national forest range desire to
construct drift, division or boundary
fences for the better handling of their
stock or to prevent trespass, and when
these fences would assist forest officers
in the administration of the forest, all
posts, rails and logs needed for build
ing them will be furnished from the
national forest free of charge.
Whenever circumstances justify it,
all wire and staples NEEDED for the con-
struction of the fences will be fur
nished by the forest service and will be
furnished free of charge at the nearest
railroad station.
The stockmen will be required to en-
ter into an agreement to dig the post
holes, cut, haul and set the posts, haul
the wire from the railroad station,
erect the fence and assist in keeping it
in repair.
All boundary fences must be built in
conformity with the state and terri
torial fence laws, and all fences must
have gates at points designated by the
forest officers.
No fence will be allowed which will
interfere with an equitable division of
the range among its users, or which
will in any way be detrimental to the
best interests of the forest.
Whenever stock-watering reservoirs
are needed on certain portions of ma
tional forest, in order that stock may
Craze there and utilize forage which
otherwise would be wasted, the forest
service will cooperate with the stock
men in the building them or, when cir.
cumstances warrant it, will bear the en-
tire expense of construction.
When an application is received by
the forest supervisor for the construc-
tion of fence or reservoir, he will
have an examination made by forest
officer. The supervisor will include
detailed estimate of the cost of con.
struction in his report to the forester,
and send map showing the exact loca-
tion of the fence or reservoir. If con-
struction is approved, the expenditure
will be authorized by the forester and
letter of instruction sent to the super
visor, who may then begin the work.

TRAIN MEN ON STRIKE

Denver, Aug AT noon today Il
strike order was issued by the officers
and the general committee OF the Colo
rado & Southern trainmen, calling out
every member of the organization from
Greedy to Silver Plume and Texline.
About 200 men obeyed the order and
by night it was expected that freight
traffic would be completely tied up and
passenger trains affected.
The order includes both passenger
and freight brakemen, fagmen, conduc'
tors and switchmcn. From 500 to 1000
men are now involved, including en-
gineers and fremen, but a large num-
Der of these, together with baggage
men, will be thrown out of employment
by the inability of the road to move
trains. Thousands of other men will
feel the effect of the strike through the
closing of industries.
A coal famine is threatened in Den
yer, and hundreds of plants may have
to close. The Globe and the Argo
smelter have already shut down on ac-
count of lack of coal.
The Colorado Ice and Storage COM
pany's plant has been running short
for some time, the Gilpin and Clear
Creek mines will have to close while
the mines at Louisville and Lafayette
will be seriously affected, as will also
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company 3
plant at Pueblo. The business of the
Denver Stock Yards will also be SER
iously affected, as the Colorado &
Southern handles a large share of the
ears.
The strike of the Colorado & South
ern roadmen is the result of failure
of the Colorado & Southern officials and
representatives of the striking switch
men to come to an agreement, the latter
demanding a raise Of two cents per
hour.
