Jewell OF the Juvenile Court last
Saturday, and after an investigation
the judge concluded that the ends of
justice might be better subseryed

prits be placed on probation for six
months. One of the boys was over
g years old and he was left to be
dealt with by the Justice Court.

said to the boys before allowing them
to go:
Il want to say to you boys that
the purpose of this court is to re-
form boys rather than to punish
them. In fact, | do not believe in
vindictive punishment. But it must
be understood that crime must not
be allowed to pass unrebuked. You
boys have done wrong. Those melons
were the property of some one who
had evidently done some hard work
to raise them. You had no more
right to take them than you had
to go into store and carry off a
pair of shoes or other property.
hardly think that you intended to
commit crime, but the act is one
of that kind that leads to bigger
ones. All criminals began their
careers by infringing upon the rights
Of others.
There are just three things that
| can do in your case. can send
you to the Reform School, to the
Boys and Girls Aid Society. or put
you on probation. You will be on
probation until the first Of next
January to report to Mr.. w. M.
Cheshire each month. A repetition
of this or any similar offense may
send you to the Reform School. You
will be expected to pay for the
melons"

PROPERTY OWNERS COMMITTEE
HARD AT WORK
BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL
1t viii Go Through This Time, Is
the General Opinion of Those
Well Posted.

The question of paving Sixth street
came up for discussion before a meet
ing of property owners held at the
Commercial Club last Tuesday even
ing. The committee of five who had
been selected to look after the inter-
est of the property owners explained
that they had been over to Medford
and examined the bitulithic pave
ment which is now being laid in that
city and from what they had seen
there and what they knew of the
same pavement in other cities, they
felt it duty to again call for a meet
ing Of property owners and submit
to them the information they had re-
ceived on this subject. The five
members of the committee were un-
animously in favor of bitulithic pave
ment rather than macadam. They
had talked with other property own
STs anu Iutu Sdlu DIS lar dS lUey
could see a majority of them favored
s the hard pavement. 1t was urged
n by property owners present that it
II was very important to have Sixth
street paved this season, or at as
y early a date as possible. The COM
& mittee was formally instructed to
n present to property owners a petit
n tion favoring bitulithic pavement and
n II a satisfactory number was secured,
to at once, by applying to the coun-
4 ell, secure the necessary ordinance
TO permit contract to be made.
The meeting proved to be thor
oughly businesslike, and at the time
Of adjournment it was plain to be
seen that Grants Pass will soon have
hard pavement on several blocks in
the center OF the town. Chairman
q Coe is doing hard work to secure the
n best pavement for the town and to
get II at an early date.

Creek Of the finding OF a pocket
from which s6S,OOO was taken. II
Is said that the parties are keeping
the matter quiet until they and their
friends have opportunity to stake
