MANAGER LOVETTE
TOURING THE SYSTEM
Passes Through Grants Pass NJ 0:1O
ON Sunday Morning of this
Week.

Judge r. s. Lovett, the head of
the Hartman system, has been on
visit to the Sound country, Last
Saturday he was In Portland and was
met by many of the leading business
men of that city. Judge Lovett an
nounced that contract for the joint
use of the Southern Pacific track be-
tween Portland and the Sound had
been entered into and trains would
be running on the first of the year.
He said that his trip was one OF in
spection of the property and did not
include the extension Of any OF the
system. The special train of the
Lovett party passed through Grants
Pass on Sunday morning. On board
this train was ]. P. O'Brien, general
manager of this territory; w. W.
Cotton, general counsel; II. B. Mill
er, general freight agent, and VII
liam MeMurray, general passenger
agent. On reaching Grants Pass at
9:10, the train closely following No,
10, was Obliged to cake water at the
round house, and few people saw the
official train or knew that II was ex-
pected, consequently only one or
two people saw the railroad party,
While In the yards here Mr., o'Bren
talked over with Judge Lovett the
necessity OF building new depot
here, and related to him the partcu'
lars of visit Of Grants Pass business
men to Portland last week and how
uo had promised them the Improve
ments asked for There followed {
general discussion OF the rapid
growth OF the orchard interests o
Josephine county and particularly
the large amount OF clearing don
this year. The train went on to Call
fornia and passed over all the South
ern Pacific lines In that state.

lie has been repeatedly arrested and
fined, but the penalties of the law
ara without effect on him. He sets
authority at naught and is law unto
himself. Such examples as his in
the community are one of the most
powerful of all the agencies in
driving conservative men into the
ranks Of those who are agitatlng
against the traffic.
An equally flagrant case Is that
Of Fred Merrill, keeper Of the So
called 12-mile house. 1t was his
resort that was visited by the Joy
ride party q few weeks ago, the Sc
quel to which was the road tragedy
in which Mrs. Ferrera was killed,
II was at the same place last Sun
day that the Joy party called short
ly before the startling accident on
the Base Line road, in which the
horse of DR.. Briggs was killed, three
members Of the joy party badly in
iured, and death for several escaped
only by freak of fate In utter
violation of law, drinks were served
at Merrilrs house practically all that
! day, notwithstanding the fact that
it was Sunday, and that Merrill had
only a federal license. Merrilrs as
sertion that he was selling only soft
drinks is absolutely untrue.
1T is these flagrant and inexcus-
aole transgressions of the law and
the persistence in which they are
widely engaged by many of those
who sell drinks that are responsible
for the constant and growing agita-
ton People want the laws respected.
That Is what they make the laws
for, and they grow tired of the trans
gressions, and tired of the men who
trausgress. II there Is agitation, the
dealers can easily and definitely see
who It is that they have to blame. y
We have our "joy riders" In
Grants Pass and our Merrill's who
devote their places to whiskey
drinking and are responsible for al
the outrages committed in the name
of soft drink establishments, These
lpeople have been before the courts
and fined, In some instances twice
land they are now candidates for cor
lroction a third time. II Is true tha
they may for a time shove by justice
and defy the law. but there Will come
time when the indictment will
reach the criminal in spite of loca
political influence IN the third an'
fourth wards of this city are mel
banded together to sell whiskey re
