CANNING FACTORY NOW
RUNNING FULL BLAST

The Grants Pass canning factory is
running full blast this week on
peaches. pears, plums and green
cages Manager Sampson says the
factory will be running to its full
capacity form now on till the close OF
the season. Tue pay roll includes
sbout go women ana glrlS aud about
10 men and boys. The machinery is
all iu excellent running order aud
things sre moving nicely. The vine.
gar department is also running, and
though the factory is putting out an
immense lot of fine vinegar Mr..
Sampson says there is strong de-
msnd for every gallon of it.
Mr.. Sampson finds that notwitb-
standing the addition which was built
to the factory this spring there is still
a lack Of room, owing to the immense
amount of fruit being handled this
season and says more room will have
TO be provided for n -xt year. They
could also employ so more women and
girls now If they had the room for
them to work. There are now two
car loads Of pears on the platforms at
the factory 20 FAY nothing Of lot Of
peaches, plums and other fruits. The
tomato crop is also beginning to come
In. Though the tomato crop will not
be as heavy this season ss was an.
ticipsted. owing blight which
strcuk the fields abou. the time the
vines were in bloom. several thousand
cans will be put up with this season q
pack.
The factory consumes two and q
half tons Of sugar every day and car
Of tin cans are required each week.
Mr.. Sampson says while he had an
ticipsted heavy ron this season h,
already sees that his expectations will
be more than met. Inssnuch as tn,
entire pack was contracted for befor,

went over the proposed route with Mr..
Collins in an automobile. He remained
10 conference with Mr., Collins Monday,
and Tuesday evening returned TO
Seattle. apparently well pleased with
the outlook.
When seen the first Of the week by
a Courier reporter Mr.. Buddenborg
stated that he had nothing special to
give out at this time more than what
had already been said. He said, how
ever. that he was more than pleased
with the looks of things here generally
and particularly with the route as
IL had been outlined by Mr.. Collins.
He said that while the road would.be
built that general construction work
would not begin for some little time,
perhaps within the next six months,
and that he did not wish TO make any
statement at this time which would
canse any one to become undnly ex-
cited or make any unwise investments.
He spoke Of the great need of irriga-
tion in this section.and marvled at the
fact that with the great Rogue River
running by our doonr we had not made
use Of It's water on the lands Of tho
county long ere this. He said on his
return to Seattle he expected to call
attention Of those whom he knew to
be interested in such matters TO the
promising field Offered here for irrisg-
tion projects.

Kidding the country Of coyotes. He
takes an apple cuts a hole in il to the

arsenic which he allows to dissolve

Break Beam Breaks on
Load of Lumber.
DRIVER BARELY ESCAPES
Lead Team Runs to Bottom
of the Hill Without
Serious Injury.

Elmer Page. teamster for z j.
H. Keal who operates a general
merchandise store at Takilma mar.
Towly escaped serious injury if not in
slant death while coming down Hayes
hill with load of lumber Friday.
He WAS driving 4-horse team, riding
one of the wheers, when one of them
stepped upon q small stick which
struck the horse with such force that
he kicked and got over the tongue of
the wagon. In the course of this
floundering around Of the horses, the
break beam broke and the load of
lumber ran on to the horses, cutting
off the hind foot Of one and killing the
other wheeler outright and the first
had to be shot.
In the mixup one of the horses fell
completely over the other. Mr.. Page
was thrown from his saddle and sus-
tained the dislocation of his right
shoulder. The head team ran TO the
bottom Of the hill and thus succeeded
in keeping out of the way Of the
wagon, escaping without injury. De.
spite the dislocation of his shoulder,
Mr.. Page hitcbed the lead team to the
wagon and drove to the stage house
this side of the steep hill where he
found physician from Ashland who
ohanced to be there, who dressed his
wound, and he is now on the road to
recovery.
Hayes hill is one of the longest and
a part of it the steepest in this sec.
ton of the country and the wonder to
those familiar with the locality is that
the driver and all the horses were not
killed

FOR BRIDGE
LET THIS AFTERNOON
Columbia Bridge Co. of Walls
Walla Gets the Job at
S27,984.OO.

The county court reconvened this
morning pursuant to adjournment
Wednesday evening for the purpose of
opening the bids for the proposed new
bridge across Rogue river at the foot
of.Sixth street. There were three con.
testants in the field and just after
noon to-day Ethe contract was let to
The Columbia Bridge Co. of walla
walla. Wash. for s27, 9S4 for the con-
struction Of 20-foot, S.span steel
bridge. This structure will be suffi-
cient for wagon traffic aud to accom-
modate medium traffic for an electric
railroad, at least temporarily.
The other two bidders were the
Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Co.
of Seattle who offered to bnild the
bridge for $2S, 92S, aud the Portland
Bridge and Building Co. who made a
price of $50, 7S5. The successful firm
did not submit figures on a Howe
truss combination wood and steal
structure such as that suggested by q.
A Collins of the proposed new electric
road, intimatiug that this type of bridge
was becoming obsolete. The other two
firms, however, submitted figures on
such q bridge as follows: Puget Sound
Bridge and Dredging Co., S3S. 900,
Portland Bridge and Building Co.,
S33, S43.
Mr.. Collins, representing the pro-
posed new electric road thereupon
withdrew all partnership propositions
on the bridge question. The company
to whom was awarded the contract
agreed to file a surety bond for the
faithful performance of the contract in
the sum OF 500, 600. They will beign
work on the new structure at once. 1t
will be built just below the old bridge,
over which traffic will continue until
the new st 'utcture is completed.

lands as can be brought under irri-
CATION during the coming year.
This will not interfere with the
organization of an irrisgtion district.
This work can be largely done by the
farmers living along the line Of the
ditch who would exchange work for
water rights. In our opinion arrange
ments should be made so that this
work can be commenced during the
next few months so that the bitches
may be ready to supply water for the
crop season of 1909.
We recommend the appointment Of
a committee consisting Of two attor-
ueys and one of our leading business
men to look into the legal phase of the
bonding act aud prepare report to
the executive committee of CONNER
oial Club.
We would further recommend the
securing of al expert engineer to ad-
wise with us in outlining the most
feasible plan for the carrying ont of
an irrigation system for this valley.
The public meeting that has been
recommended by some of our citizens
to be- held at the opera house should
he called at the time this expert is
with us as he can probably be induced
TO make an address ON the subject.
The meeting to be participated in by
all persons interested in securing ir-
rigation.
In closing this report permit us to
earnestly recommend that no time be
lost In organizine the farmers ditch
company 80 that the work Of construo.
tion may commence in the very near
future. We are satisfied that n large
majority Of our fruit growers and
farmers will help in the construction
work with either cash or labor so
that this enterprise may be pushed to
early completion.
