DIMMICK GRANGE
DISCUSSES WATER

In all sections of the Rogue River
Valley the people are interested in
irrigation. Dimmick Grange at
their last session discussed the wa
ter laws of Oregon. and as a result
adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, The Oregon water code
has proved inefficient for the people
of the state. enabling few men and
corporations to monopolize the wa
ters OF the state to the detriment OF
the agricultural interests. even to
the control of a whole river without
use, and
Whereas, The Grange at the last
session OF the legislature cham
pioned bill making the holding of
water contingent to actual use,
therefore, be 1t
Resolved, by the Dimick Grange
of Grants Pass. Oregon. in regular
session November 21, 1908.
First. That we are in favor OF
new water code, basing the holding
of water upon actual and continued
use.
Second. That we favor the bill
before the legislature OF 1909, and
championed by the Oregon state
Grange, with the exception that we
favor the election OF officers, water
commissioners, etc, by the people of
the different districts embraced in
said code.
Third. That we condemn the ap-
pointment of any officer to serve the
people, as it corrupts and makes in
efficient the public service, giving
party full preference over personal
fitness.
Fourth. That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the Rogue
River Courier for publication, one
copy sent to the master of the State
Grange. and one copy to each mem
Der of the legislature from this
county. n. REYNOLDS,
H. B. ALVERSON,

of Grants Pass, in the efforts which
are being made to improve condi-
tions generally, as to assisting in
the development of our industries,
as well as the bringing of home
seekers to this famous section of
the Rogue River Valley; he fur
ther thanked Mr.. Malboeuf for his
kindness in calling the attention of
the club to the publication of the
very detrimental article which ap-
peared in the Portland daily.
Secretary Andrews read the list
of SS names of new members since
the last meeting of the club. and his
report was received with much
applause. He further stated that he
was preparing plan for very ex-
tcnsive advertising of Josephine
County the coming year.

NEW DEPOT CAN
NOW BE SECURED

Grants Pass can have new PASS
enger depot In the very near fu-
ture and will have II our CONNER
cial Clue and the business men are
suihciently alive to the interests OF
the city to take the matter up and
urge IT,
Two years ago an appropriation
was made by the company for
the removing OF the freight depot to
point further down in the yards.
to give the present depot over entire
iy to the passenger business, but an
yet this change has not been made;
the increased business of the COM
pany at this point however, will Of
necessity compel change In tho
very near future. and while II is be-
Ing made II will be simple mater
to get the railroad company to con-
struct an entirely new passenger de-
pot.
When the new depot at Albany
was opened recently, General Mana
ger O'Brien OF the Southern Pacific
stated that money was now available
for the improvement and building OF
new stations and depots along the
line. Those towns where the people
are enthusiastic and are working
vigorously for bigger population and
carrying on wide awake advertising
campaigns, are getting the new de-
pots. Grants Pass is growing
rapidly enough OF its own accord to
be entitled to one OF these new
structures, for the old depot Is fill-
ed to overnowlng with passengers
from every train; all that Is required
Is that the true situation be placed
before the powers that be that they
may know we are alive. and we VIII
not be left of from the list.

Mayor-elect Kinney promised be-
fore election an impartial, progress
i've business administration, and
there is every reason to believe that
he will make good his promise.
What is wanted is the enforcement
of the law and every effort made
for the betterment of civic affairs.
Those who know Mr. Kinney best
are confident that no step will be
omitted by him to bring about the
desired result, and in doing so he
will have the support OF the council
Mayor Smith and the other Off
GERS whose terms have expired will
hand over the reins of government to
the new officers on the first of the
year. There will probably be a
complete change in the appointive
Offices, but up to this time Mayor
elect Kinney has not made any an
nouncement to this effect, conse-
quently it can only be conjectured
as. to who the new officers will be.

VARIOUS PLANS FOR
k'KlNltY MEMORIAL
Library, Statue, Stadium
And Arch Are All
Suggested

The Mckinley Memorial Fund
Committee held meeting yesterday
afternoon to listen to the various
proposals submitted for the eXpend-
!ture of the moneys in its hands in
fitting manner. Mrs. Graham, rep
resenting the Kilohana Art League,
spoke in favor of using the money to
construct memorial arch at the en-
trance to the old fishmarket.
Prof. Scott suggested that the
funds should be used to provide a
statue of the late President for the
rev High School library, and that
whatever funds remained should be
spent to purchase reference library
! for the school. II this were done the
! school could he named the Mckinley
! Public High School, and would thus
stand lasting tribute to Mckinley.
Prof. Wood wanted the money
spent on stadium on the Normal
School grounds, which were well
suited for this purpose.
Finally II. Il. Iendrick appeared
in favor of erecting a heroic statue
Of Mckinley In some public place. In
this connection sketches were cXhih-
tied by Gordon osborne, son of Rev.
!. osborne, who has achieved much
distinction with his work on the
mainland, and who is now visiting
here. The sketch submitted by Mr..
osborne attracted considerable at
tention, his design being for statue
and pedestal the same size as the
Kamehameha statue. The pedestal is
elaborated with three figures, typi-
flying the three Territories added Ia
the United States during the McKin-
ley administration, Hawaii. the Phil

and figures are to be cast In bronze
