ton accompanied by Mr.. Donuell IS
report in connection with an applica-
tion for such delivery. Mr.. Donnell
advises the Courier that with no un-
foreseen delay the people of Grants
Pass should be enjoying the conven.
iehce of free mail delivery by the
first of JanuaryIif not sooner.
During ths fiscal year ending March
S1st. there were sold in the Grants
Pass postoffice l72 International
money orders and Is we're paid. Dur.
ing the same period s04O domestic
money orders were sold and $3.50 paid.
During the year 2797 pieces of regis
tered mail were dispatched, 1915
pieces were received and 5275 pieces
were handled in transit. During the
first quarter of the present fiscal year
the volume of business of the Grants
Pass postoffice has also materially
increased over that of any preceding e
year.
AS soon as Postmaster Donnell is ad-
vised Of the action of the department
at Washington on the application. if
the same be favorable, an inspector
will doubtless be sent here to look
over the city and notices wi then be
posted announcing an examination for
applicants for rural carriers This
examination will be held under the
regular civil service rules, and the
Grants Pass office will then be en-.
tirely uuder the civil service rules
and placed in another class.
From recent. ..sdvices from Washing
ton Mr.. Donnell is led to believe that
Grants Pass will be designated as the
location for all civil service examina-
tions to be held in Southern Oregon.
This in turn will make the Grants
Pass Office one of the most important
in the state outside of Portland and
Salem.

the Courier called az the factory
yesterday afternoon and found every
thing running nicely. Manager
Sampson says the season has opened in
first class shane but that he would
like to have had three times the
amount of cherries. Twenty hands,
girls women and men we're at work

runs at normal capacity 80 girls alone
are employed. However, the small
fruit crop this year is not sufficient

Preliminary Survey Is
Now Under Way.
WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE
Mr.. Collins Is Much Pleased with
the Outlook and Local
Encoure cement.

G. A. Collins, who is in the city
for the purpose of building an cleo
trio road into the Illinois valley,
returned yesterday from second
trip over the proposed route and il
even more sanguine than ever over
the project. The preliminary sur
vey is now under way and Mr. Collins
says this will be finished within the
coming week.
He says that the enterprise looks
sufficiently plausible to him and his
associates that company will be
organized next week and that within
the next 60 days men will be at work
on the grade.
The construction of a road into the
Illinois valley has been the subject
Of much discussion for a number of
years past and many are Of course
relative to the consumma-
tion Of the enterprise. but Mr.. Collins,
who is anything rather than ostenta-
tious or given to- hot air." says the
road Is going to be built and that the
dirt will be--flying in September.

the wedding, and it was declared off.
Bot there were good many people
in town and the merchants were busy
most of the day. The band got out
at O'Clock and furnished good
program.
OF course, it was the first Market
Day, attended with the usual curl
osity and some thought it was not as
large as it should have been. But
the general concensus of opinion
seems to be that Market Day should
be made permanent institution,
despite the fact that its inception was
somewhat inopportune on account of
the weather.
The parade included, besides the
band, bevy of young ladies on horse
back. as follows: Misses Maude.Baber,
Carrie Umphlette, frankie Letcher,
Lola Rehkopf Marguerite Cleveland
and Bessie McColm.
As is usual on the first day, the
number Of horses and .cattle was not
large and the sale was slight.
The S. gold piece for the largest
bona fide family was awarded to j. B.
Boroughs, who has splendid little
fruit farm west of town. He was
here with his 10 children and was an
easy winner. Mr.. Boroughs came
here from Iowa with his parents at
the close Of the war in 1856. Since
his marriage, IS years ago, he has
reared eight boys and two girls. Mrs.
Boroughs comes from numerous
family herself, she being one of 10 Of
which County Supr. LinoolH Savage
is one.
Mr.. Zimmerman said that while
the crowd was not as large as he had
expected, that 1t averaged up with
other places of this size. He left
Sunday for Medford where he ex.
pected to have Market Day next
month.

PLANTING so ACRES OF
T0KAYS NEAR MERLIN
n Z. Gale. Formerly OF Buffalo.
N. r.. Putting Out Splendid
Orcha I'd.

H. e. Gale was down from Merlin
between trains last Sstudtay to look
after business matters. During q brief
call at the Courier office he incidentally
spoke Of the fruit farm he recently
purchased near Hell's Gate and known
as the William Grove :place. Mr..
Gale has since christened this 276
acre tract the River View Ranch.
He now has corps Of men at work
slashing, preparatory to putting out
80 acres of Toky grapes this fall. In
addition he will also plant "a acres of
peaches.
Mr.. Gale and family some five
years ago came from Buffalo. N. Y.
to Portland, where they have since re-
sided until last May he purchased the
above tract, which he considers the
finest piece of land in that section.
though there are several thousand
acres in the same vicinity which at
the present time can be had at very
low figure compared with the prices
for less valuable land elsewhere.
Mr.. Gale will have fine .crop OF
Peaches this season fr om the small
orchard ON tho place when he bought
it. River View Ranch is. owing TO
its southwesterly slope. ideally
adapted to the propagation of the
Toksy grape for which Josephine

GILMAN BED ROCK
LAUNCHES FIRST BARGE
President Gilman And Nine Mon
Started Down Rogue River
to Este blish Camp.

President L. F. Gilman and nine
men started down the Rogue River
last Friday afternoon for point just
below the mouth Of Galice creek,
where the Gilman Bed Rock Mining
Co will set their new machine, and
where they are now establishing
their first camp. The barge in which
they embarked is 20x40 feet and con-
tanned cargo of some eight tons of
provisions, timber, rope and various
other articles. Quite number who
had learned that the barge was to
leave we're down to sse Mr.. Gilman
and his men make the start.
Word received by Secretary Wend-
over, who is in charge of the office of
the company in this city, states that
the parry passed through Hell's Gate
without mishsp or incident. The
machine, with which this company Is
to mine the bedrock of Rogue River
has just been completed at Sacra-
mento, Cal, and will be shipped to
Merlin, from where il will bs hauled
by wagon to point just below Galice
creek. Thousands of dollars worth Of
gold have been taken from the
Rogue River and from Galioe creek,
but thus far the use of wing dams has
been the only method by which the
bed rock of the river bottom could be
mined, and since the wing dam is
both expensive and uncertain, it is
we'll known that millions of dollars IN
gold still cling tn the bed rock Of the
Rogue and its tributaries.
To SECURE this valuable treasure
furnished the impetus for the inven-
tion Of a new machine by Mr.. Gil
man which gives every indication of
succ s,ful river bed mining The re-
suit Of the initial trial of the new
machine. which will be msde during
the latter part of the present month
is, therefore, being watched with
grelt interest by not ONLY mining men
but the people in general in this sec.
tion. The success Of the machine
will result in revolution Of the gold
mining industry throughout, the state
and will also create a demand for the
Gilman mining machine all over the
coast country as well as Alaska.

Judge ]. o. Booth returned home
last Friday from the national demo-
cratic convention at Denver to which
he had been delegate. CT course the
judge is good democrat aud it Is
needless to state that he is much
pleased with the result of the con-
vention and is wonderfully sanguine
relative to Bryan's election; In fact
he confidently asserts that "Mr.
Bryan will be elected by the largest
majority ever given q presidential
candidate lin the United States"
He mentioned one republican at the
convention who said he had attended
every republican and democratic
national convention for the past 40
years. who said that the Denver
gathering was the greatest political
event Of them all.

RESIST LEASE
 TERMINATION

Little Rock. Dec. 3o.-Special. Attorneys for the Arkansas Brick and Manufacturing Co.,, which has held a ten-year lease upon tn , state convicts, expiring tomorrow night, today notified the peniten tiary board that they would resist any effort upon the part of the state to terminate the contract Jan uary I. They claim that the state should have furnished them 800 convicts every day during the life of the lease, which, according to their figures, would leave them en- titled to work 500 convicts every day for two more years.
 Attorney General Kirby holds that the state is required to fur nish only 100 men, but has the right to increase the number to 300.
 The brick company threatens to sue the members of the penitentiary board and their bondsmen for $Ioo- GOO, the amount they allege they would be damaged, if an attempt is made to recall the cOnvicts.
