Base Ball Team Organized.

The Grants Pass Baseball Club
has been organized again for the
coming season and the boys intend
to start practicing as soon as the
weather permits. There will be a
squad of about 20 players on the
diamond to try out this season, and
1t would be safe to say that Grants
Pass will turn out a team that can
hold Its own against any in the val
ley. They have ordered new suits
of gray with blue trimmings, which
will make very striking appear
ance.
Medford, too, will probably have
strong team this year, as Casey's
Colts Of the Northwestern League do
their practicing In that city this
spring, and they will undoubtedly
retain some of the surplus players OF
the Portland squad, and together
with Ashland, Jacksonville and
Central Point In the game, the fans
of Grants Pass, as well as the several
other towns of the valley, should not
want for opportunity to witness good
exhibitions of the national game in
the near future. IS

City Council Proceedings.

The council met on Thursday nigh,
with Mayor Kinney in the chair. All
the members being present.
After reading of the minutes OF
previous meetings and the petitions
which had been presented, a reso,
tuition was passed appointing C. E.
Harmon as enumerator to take the
census of the city.
The council appointed COMMITTEES
TO secure a steam or gasoline roller
and a stone crusher for use on the
streets.
The regular committees made re-
ports after which the city park was
ordered cleaned up and kept clean
on an after March /.
After much routine business the
clerk read the mayors veto OF the
telephone ordinance, and 1t came be-
fore the council on a motion to
pass the same over the mayors
veto. Five voted for and three
against. Six votes being required to
pass an ordinance over tn mayors
veto 1t was declared lost.
The following is the Mayors veto:
Grants Pass, Or, Feb. 13, 1909.
To the Honorable Council OF the City
of Grants Pass.
Gentlemen:
herewith return to you ordin-
ance No.. giving a franchise to
Arthur Conkiin, Marcus Robbins and
their assigns, not approved, for the
following reasons:
First, The city was offered
through you equally as good tele-
phone service by the Pacific States
Telephone Co. for fifty cents a month
less to each business telephone.
There are about 100 business tele-
phones in the city and 1t means saw
ing of about $50 per month of 5000
per year to the business men.
Second. A remonstrance against
granting this franchise, signed by
sixty of the business men of the city,
was presented to you, which l feel
should have more consideration than
was given it, for the reason that the
business men must bear the burden
Of a double telephone system and are
entitled to a hearing In the matter.
Third. Inasmuch rs the franchise
does not require bond for the faith
full fulfilment Of the requirements
of the same, feel that the interests
of the city are not properly safe
guarded.
For these reasons / respectfully
ask you to reconsider the matter, not
to act hastily, but to consider care
fully what is best for the city from
every standpoint, remembering that
a franchise is of value and should be
of benefit to the city as well as to
whom it is granted. a
submit to you my veto OF this or
dinance for this one purpose, that the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber may be done.

stated that probably the demurrer

We wish to urge upon your
eaders the nece ssity of preserving
18th care all recelpted freight bills
evidencing payments of any freight
moving between Portland and points
east of The Dal'es, over the lines of
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company since Nay u, 1870. When
the controversy is finally determined
if the order of the commission is sus-
tanned, many thousands of dollars
will be found to be subject TO the
terms of the bond, and the o. R. &

make restitution. Without these re-
eeipted bills it will be difficult for
shippers or consiguees who have
paid excess charges to establish
ihelr claims for reparation.
Please urge your readers to pre-
serve with care all receipted freight
bills whatsoever which may possibly
be affected by the order until the
controversy is determined. when they
can be examined and ii can be deter
mined whether they come within the
provisions oif the order. These
freight b!ils may mem money, aud
they should not he lost or destroyed.

developed outside. preferably in warm,
