ing to a window Miss Columbus saw
that there was a man without; he had
sat down on the back step and was
calling in q broken voice 20, Stella,
Stella. love you with my whole
heart" and continued in whining
voice to pour forth many words of
pleading and endearment. From the
,opened window Miss Columbus order
ed the man to leave the premises and
he did so. Mrs! Kirk had come to
Miss Columbus and signifed her in
tention of going out to secure the
police, but Miss Columbus refused to
let her leave the house. Mrs. Kirk
stated that this man had been source
of much bother to her, that he was
enamored of her and because OF his
attentions she had lost position at
Marion. She came to Gallon to rid
i'herself of him.
The day following the mans night
~ visit, Miss Columbus noticed a
lstrange man prowling about her
lhouse. He went through the yard
several times and she went out and
asked him what he wanted in her yard
Iand he at first refused to tell her.
On further conversation with him she
learned that the so-called Mrs. Kirk
had left her husband to go with him
and because he was out of work and
had been drinking, she had repulsed
him. He said then that he would kill
himself Mss Coiumbus noticed the
man, who from her descriptions was
Harry Waite, lettering about the OPP
posite side of the street from her house
at another time. For about two hours
he stood at different points along the
walk, gazing at her house. He fin
ally left in company with a passing
man.
young man called at the house
and was introduced as Mr.. Taylor,
the younger woman's husband and an
employee of the steam shovel works
at Marion. He was at the house but a
few minutes.
After being told that they must
have no men callers, the women stat
ed that they intended to return to
Marion as soon as Taylor called for
them again, which would be very
soon Early in the morning of July 7th
they secretly took their effects and
left the house. For about a week fol-
lowing Mrs Kirk was employed as a
chambermad at the Hotel Phoenix.
She told one of the employees of the
hotel that she had left her husband
at Marion two or three months previ-
GUS because he had failed to provide
for her and stated that she did not
want him to know where she was and
had therefore been trying to conceal
her identity. While at the hotel she
was never seen with Waite, and seem
ed to be very quiet and conscien-
tious worker
Without notifying the hotel people
she failed to return to work, appar-
emily because she could not agree
with another woman employe, and
went to the Ness boarding house to
work.

ing at $3.50 o'clock. A motion was
Immediately made for a new trial by
the attorneys for the defense Mouser
and Moloney and Judge Frank Mar
riott, of Delaware county, and this

I'll August 3 to file his exceptions to

tlfying as to the character of the de-

tence was suspended, pending the

In the trial of p. F. Neidig at Pros
pect this morning. The attendance was
not so large as that of other days but
considerable interest was shown I'm
the testimony of Stillwell, the prose-
cutting witness. Mouser and Moloney

FROST EXPERIMENTS
BY PROFESSOR VINCENT
Temperature of Three-Acre Or
chard Raised Three Degrees
by Burning Oil.

Prof c. c. Vincent, assistant hor-
ticulturist of the Oregon Agricultur-
al College at Corvallis, true to his
promise made to the fruit growers
on his visit to this place some two or
three weeks ago, arrived Wednesday
evening to conduct frost experiments
In smudging for the protection of
orchards, Wednesday he spent from
ii O'Clock in the evening till 1880
In the Eisman orchard, now owned
by Shank & Hall, closely observing
the temperature and the changes
wrought by the use of the Fresno
pots, An area of three acres was
covered according to the rule OF 75
pots to the acre, and in each pot was
nearly gallon of crude oil, which
was burning from about 1890 until
morning. The burning oil makes
very dense, black smoke which forms
blanket OF smoke over the orchard
and prevents the radiation of heat
which is retained within the area
and thus reducing the temperature
to such an extent as to prevent
frosts. Close observation OF ther-
mometers placed at various points
within the three-acre space and also
at some distance from the burning
pots showed variation in the tenn
perature of three degrees, the area
affected by the smoke registering
higher than that not so affected.
1t was expected that Mr.. Malboeuf.
of the Southern Pacific company,
would be here to witness the expert
ments, but was unable to attend. lie
may be here later and, II so, Mr. Vim
cent will arrange to come and con-
duct other experiments of the same
nature
The Southern Pacific company has
donated 1900 gallons of oil for the
use of the members of the Rogue
River Fruit Exchange, to be used for
the purpose OF conducting frost ex-
periments, the only stipulation be-
ing that they should be conducted
under the direction of the Agrlcul-
tural college.
Messrs. Shank & Hall have been
for a number OF nights past smudg-
Ing with wood fires by first pouring
coal oil on the piles In sufficient
quantities to properly ignite the
whole mass and then covering with
damp saw dust, thus making a heavy
smoke. BY this means and the use
OF the oil pots, they have prevented
any damage by frosts this season.

THE STORY OF THE BIG ENTER
PRISE
MEN AND MEANS EMPLOYED
An Interesting Account of the Pro-
ject from Its First Inception,
and the Difficulties.
(By M. j. Anderson.)

AS an eleventh hour contribution
to your Irrigation Edition" / would
add a struggling sketch of the main
Incidents in the struggle to bring ir-
rigation and prosperity to the Rogue
River valley; and 'lest we forget"
will suggest for the roll of honor,
names of your citizens who made
an irrigation edition possible.
In July, 1908, when the days
were so warm that the pleasant even
ing breezes failed to cool the city
hydrants, and the pure water of the
Rogue was hardly attractive as a
beverage when not artificially cool
ed, ten men met by appointment at
the Government Forest offices in
this city. Their mission was to take
up some one particular thing that
would be of benefit to Grants Pass,
unite on it, talk it to others, carry
il before the Commercial Club, fight
for it's advancement and, without
publicly announcing their agree
ment, force it to a successful issue.
They were to chose their subject and
devote their energy to boosting it.
A motion to give the body name
was voted down; as was the PROPOSE
ton to elect officers. Anyone ac
quainted with different individuals
would have known they would not
hold together If tied by constitution
or rules. An organization must be
made of leaders and followers, but
no member of this body would ac-
knowledge he was a follower, con-
sequently there was no leader.
There was no order of business,
no member had a pet theory to ad-
vance or a favorite plan to endorse.
SThey just met to talk over some
-anything-that might be
boosted to the advantage of the
community.
The meeting was a pleasant one
socially, and with smoking, story
telling and pleasantly the evening
passed along. One veteran news
paper man Ga new comer) i'm the
crowd who had added not little to
the entertainment with his expert
ences finally asked for drink OF
water, and tasting of the uncooled
beverage made wry face. This ex-
preston of displeasure was not re-
ceived with good grace by the others,
and one called his attention to the
fact that it was noted for its purity,
that no fevers existed in Grants
Pass. Others Joined In praise of the
water, and anyone but a contrary
old newspaper man would have ac-
cepted the general verdict that 1t
was good; but not so, he dramatical-
ly arose and in a tone of deliberation
said: Gentlemen, any man who

WORK ON THE
RAILROAD GROUNDS

The Improvement OF the railroad
grounds by the LADIES' Auxiliary is
being carried forward and tree
planting has been commenced. 1t
is the intention OF the ladies to have
a double row of elm trees planted
around the entire plat on both sides
OF Sixth street. The first row of
elms is three feet from the outside
boundary and the second row OF eims
16 feet inside. A thick hedge of
evergreen will be planted along the
tracks to hide the inartistic box and
flat cars.
The park on the west side OF
Sixth street is to be 80x300 feet,
within which will be a flower gar
den nearly 80 feet square in which
will be beds OF blooming plants and
rose garden which will be sur
rounded by hedge with three en-.
frances, to the north, east and west
Beyond will be spacious lawn
Within the enclosure will be groups
OF shrubs native to Josephine county
On the east side OF Sixth street
the area OF park is about 75x14C
feet In the center OF which will be
pond lilies and other aquatic plants
The park In which the band stand
Is located Is 101xl71 feet and will
be novelty rose garden under the
direction OF w. II. Love, who ar
rived from Wooster, Ohio, last week
and for the past five years has beer
practical florist, having had charge
OF the conservatorles OF the soldiers
home at Danvllle, III. In the center
OF the west end OF the park will b,
a j0-foot rose bed in the center o
which will be a sun dial. In the
eastern part will be clumps OF Rho
dodendrons and Azaleas, and th'
whole park surrounded with a hedg'
OF priyit.
The expense Of the Improvement
OF these grounds will be $1,000 o
more, which the Ladies' Auxillar
have undertaken to raise and whe
the Ladies' Auxiliary start into an
enterprise II is sure 10 be a success.
