SURVEY ON THE GRAVITY CANAL
BEING VIGOROUSLY PUSHED
GRAVE PROBLEM AHEAD
How Shall the High Lands Along
the River Be Covered With
Water.

The work of running out the ir-
rigation canal lines is now going for
ward with all possible dispatch.
Chief Engineer Hall is putting forth
every effort to make the work reli-
able in every particular so as to in
sure the best results when construc-
tion is undertaken. This is the time
to use great care, a fact Mr.. Hall
well understands, so as to have line
that will carry water. Mr.. Hall has
so far confined his work to the grav
ity line on the north side of the river
and he has reached the DeArmond
place, IL miles below the dam. He
Is covering as much land as possible
BY running the ditch on the highest
level There is difficulty that has
presented itself which is giving much
trouble as 1t Is we'll known the land
Immediately along the river is higher
than that back on the main bottom,
and the problem is to reach it. This
cannot be done by the present ditch
line.
The engineering problem is how to
reach this high land on the river and
the question arises IL 1t may not be
best to run the main ditch on the
river bank. To determine If this can
be done requires much investigation
and at once, as construction must be
commenced in the very near future.
Irrigation engineering is no easy
task even when only ordinary
ground is to be covered, but in this
case there arises the question of To-
eating a canal so that it will cover
the whole bottom. The officers OF
the company are confident that their
engineer will find way out of the
difficulty and that this important
canal will do good work along Its
entire line.
On Tuesday last President Gilkey
and Mr.. Garner made careful in
vestigation Of the survey as far az
made, going over the entire line ant
checking up the work at all points
They expressed themselves as wei
pleased with the examination ant
with the progress that has been mad
with the survey. They are anxiou
TO commence construction and the
are confident that there will be n
great delay at any point There !
much work to be done on this gravit
canal, but there is abundant tim
to do It before the irrigation seaso
commences. The 200-foot canal o
the north side and the Fruitdal
line will each be put in order |

mill. The ore body has a demon
strated length of over 200 feet and
dips north.
II has already been mentioned In
the Courier that the Oriole has been
making extensive improvements. The
company during the past season
completed first-class road from
Galice postoffice to the mine and
they are now shipping in some fine
machinery. There are air drills, a
saw mill and much other machinery;
some three carloads In all. This
mine is one of the best In the coun-
ty and will soon become a regular
producer. that Is as soon as the ma
chinery is In place,

City Politics-Nothing Doing.

Candidates for mayor do not loom
up to any great extent, yet we are
assured that DR.. Smith will be in the
race, at least some of his friends
say so. Ward conventions will be
held on Monday, November %, and
the general convention on the 2Srd,
at which candidates for mayor will
be nominated. At this writing 1t is
hard to say who will be nominated
There is a dearth of talk about men,
bers for the council, and yet, after
all, these are the important positions
to be filled. The voters in each OF
the wards of the city should see tc
it that none but good men are select
ed for these positions.

Two False Alarms.

The cracked fire bell In the tower
OF the city hall tinkled forth an
alarm OF fire on two occasions this
week. the first being Monday night
about 1890 and caused by the burn
ing out OF one OF the chimneys In the
J. NJ. Tunes home at Third and b
streets. The alarm was turned In
by some excitable individual who saw
the flames Issue from the chimney.
The department started for the scene
but we're turned back as there was
no need for their services. About
the same thing occurred on Wednes-
day evening about $3.50 when the
chimney In the II. d. Norton rosl'
dence, 507 d street, burned out. The
department started with hose cart
but was headed off. No one SCENT
to know who gave the alarm, and
the occupants OF the houses were
the greatest surprised at the depart
ment being called

ne was not 1uliy appreciated, ana ne
thought this was the case in Grants
Pass. The real estate dealer. he said,
was closely connected with the pros
perity of any section, as he advanced
values and looked carefully after the
interests of property owners as 1t
was to his interest to keep up prices
and advance them as fast as circum-
stances would permit.
He urged the unity Of interest In
all city matters and strongly de-
preciated personalities, which often
are bitter and always unfortunate
to a community. These things must
be. reformed II city is to prosper.
lie gave 1t as his opinion that every
citizen, no matter what his calling,
should be a member of the CONNER
cial Club, and when business house
joins 1t should be as individuals and
not in the name OF the firm. This,
he said, is the policy in every city
where progress was the order of the
day and prosperity prevailed. The
speech was one of the best along
boosting lines ever delivered In
Grants Pass and those present were
highly pleased to hear and meet this
noted commercial club secretary who
has done so much for the state OF
Oregon and has shown his friend
ship for the city of Grants Pass and
the Rogue River valley. At the close
of Mr.. Richardson's speech, Secretary
Andrews, at the request OF President
Hall. stated the object of the meet
ing, which was to strengthen the
Commercial Club by the addition OF
many new names to It's membership
roll. The secretary made an earnest
appeal and spoke Of the hard work
which the board OF managers hat
been doing to advance the interest o.
the club. He then read the applica
tions OF 81 OF our citizens to become
members and asked II there were an,
present who would like to join thu
club. In response to this appeal q
more applications were received
making the membership 201. At thi
announcement there was applause
and much good feeling. AT thi
point the guests were asked to stel
into the billiard room, which hat
been turned into a cafe, and partak
of the good things provided. Thos
present lost no time In accepting tn
invitation. The refreshments con
sisted of ham sandwiches, salad, ray
and stewed oysters, oyster cocktails
pickles. cheese, coffee and crap
Juice, apples and grapes Everythin
was OF the best and did credit to tn
club.
