Woman Prepares to Leave

woman interviewer was granted
FIVE minutes in Mrs. Moore's boudoir
this morning, and between sobs she
said that Hamilton had never fur
nished her with money and that he was
nothing to her.
Meantime Mrs. Moore announced that
she would leave for Oakland Friday.
She has discussed with prospective pur-
chasers the sale of her automobile and
electric runabout and is preparing TO
leave Seattle. bag and baggage. Her
daughter and negro maid confirm this
statement She has been in consaita-
ton with a lawyer named r. Z. Hill
bert and announces that she will sue q
newspaper for damages for. criminal
libel for the expose which resulted in
Hamilton's arrest and publicity of her
own connection with him. She says that
she has an income of $500 a month left
by her late husband and the mysterious
Frank Moore. mining man.

postponement Is Advised


1t has become known that al the
last minute Jerry O'Shes. manager of
the coursfng park. informed his friends
that former superior Judge Carroll
Cook had advised a postponement Of
the attack upon the law. Besides be-
ing the attorney for jerry o'shea,
Cook is understood to be retained by
the racing people. in conjunction with
Henry Ach. attorney for the New Cali
fornia jockey club. to find holes in the
new statute
Following this agreement to go slow,
Frank Daroux, proprietor of the sausa-
Tito poolroom. succeeded in persuading
the handbook operators about town not

until he gave the word. Daroux told
the handbook men that their activity
would interfere with Ach's plan for
the evasion of the law.
Since then the men interested in
knocking out the law have been wear
ing rubber soIes and mysterious looks
but the handbook men are getting rest
less. now that racing has begun in Utah.
with California horses decidedly in

selves be persuaded by promises of
something doing but unless quick
action is taken it is likely that they
will get busy regardless of the desires

ANTI-BETTING LAW

Racing Men Aim to Attack Stat
ute by Coursing Match
Held in MADEIRA

An unheralded test of the Walker
otis anti-betting law by means Of an
impromptu coursing match with betting
on the side in the San Joaquin valley
town of MADEIRA is said to be the latest
plan of the men who are interested in
restoring pool selling in California.
That the raeetrack people. who are
willing to go the limit in their efforts
to knock out the new law, desire to
test it with as little publicity as pos
sible and tosthat end have laid plans for
a quiet violation in the interior town.
is the word quietly passed around by
those who know.
Plans for testing the law were form
ulated in san Francisco and the Ingle-
side coursing park was selected as the
most promising sscene Of the attempt
but premature exposure OF this project
discouraged the interests behind the
scheme and the thing fell. through. It
was intended that theiaw should be de-
fed April u. the DAY after it became
effective. but delay was deemed judi
cious when the plan became public

Bishop Scadding's Visiting.

Bishop Charles Scaddng made his
first official visitation this year to
st. Luke's church last Sunday. He
preached at the morning service and
administered the rite of Conflrma-
tlon to class of four
In his address on "The Church's
One Foundation Is Jesus Christ Our
Lord" he outlined the policy which
the church in Oregon should follow
during his administration and con-
graduated the members OF st. Luke's
parish upon their splendid efforts
during the past seven months,
All who heard his remarks about
sectarlanism were impressed with
his statesmanlIke view OF the
church's mission to mankind. Under
his wise and careful supervision the
Episcopal church Is certain to do d
great work for all the people OF
Oregon.

the quartet by Mr.. Van Dyke, Mrs.
Walker, Miss Clark and Mr.. Reitz.
| The harmony was exquisite. Mrs.
Walkers clear, rich soprano was at
its best.
In many places the music of the
chorus was beautiful, as in the hon.
age to king and queen and in the
light grace of the movement at the
scene of the feast. The action here
was also especially effective, the
dance of the four maidens being full
of grace. 1t was in the final chorus
that the singers distinguished them
selves.
The costuming was very special
feature of the evenings success. 1t
matters not whether the scene was
that among the shepherds or in the
court it was equally appropriate and
effective, In the court scenes the
queens gllstening garments, the err
mine OF the king, the picturesque
and gracefully draped costumes of
the chorus grouped as 1t was In semi
circles each side of the throne, made
a striking effect, Mrs. Gunnells
ability has never been doubted and
her success here was only to be ex-
pected.
The suitable selection of parts and
the finish displayed in the chorus
work were enough in themselves to
bring praise to the work OF Mr..
McMurray as director. That such a
production should have been given
with the amateur talent at his COM
mand is most creditable to him.
The able support of the accompan-
list. Mrs. Mclean, was one of the
chief factors In the success of the
chorus. Her skill as a painist dis
played itself well here.
1t is indeed cause OF pride that
there is so much of promise In the
musical talent here and such an en-
tertanment does much to develop IL
and give it confidence.

Grants Pass received quite d
shock the latter part OF last week
when It became known that three
gentlemen had arrived in this city
In n private car Of the Northwestern
road. II was agreed that these men
were connected with railroad or
they would not travel In private car
Of this kind, and the fact that II. d.
Oldlng took them In an automobile
to Crescent City proved that they
were contemplating building line
to give rs an ocean outlet. Some
parties who always find out things
said that the strangers were A. w.
Trenholm, general manager OF the
G., st. p, NJ. a. y. railroad; Il. ID.
Stout president OF the Missouri
Southern, and w. b. Dlckerman,
capitalist OF New York.
The party came back on Sunday
afternoon and left the same evening.

amlnlng some heavy timber lands

WORK ON THE THREE DITCHES
is BEING RUSHED
TEN ACRES IRRIGATED
The Force All Along the Line Is
Working With Great Energy
and Earnestness.

Great activity in ditch work on
both sides of the river is clearly ap-
parent. The Fruitdale line still
$akes the lead, but work on the two
bitches on the north side is being
pushed along with energy and with
telling effect. During the past week
rapid progress has been made on the
200-foot contour ditch. Some bad
rock work has been encountered but
the powder gang is getting away
with the bad rock and large boulders
as they appear on the ditch line.
The lumber spoken of last week
has arrived and is now being used in
the construction of fumes. The first
one undertaken is near Tokay
heights and the next is on the big
gravity ditch next to the dam. Mayor
Kinney has the flume work in charge
and will push it with heavy force
from now on.
The rock gang is still breaking the
reefs on the upper part of the gray
ity ditch but they are making good
progress and will soon be in smooth
ground when the work will go for
ward with great rapidity and it will
not be long before this ditch will be
finished to the city limits. The
flume at the dam when completed
will permit the water to be turned
in for a short distance, that is for
a mile and a half or more. 1t is
true there is much anxiety on the
part of the water users regarding ir-
rigation but they must wait until
about the first Of June before a
close estimate can be made as to the
time the water will be turned in for
practical irrigation.
A little irrigation has been turned
on the 200-foot contour. A dam
across two branches of Jones creek
throws the water into this ditch aud
a good supply is going on 1O-acrC
tract belonging to W. B. Sherman
who is going to put in forage foi
horses. The ground being too dry
TO plow the water was turned over
it and as soon as 1t is wet enough 7
will be plowed and sown to corn
millet, kaffir corn and sorghum. Al
soon as this ten acres gets enougi
water it viii be turned on to 30
acre orchard belonging to the sam,
gentleman. This is the first land t.
be irrigated under this ditch system
and it is to be hoped that not onl'
the trees in the orchard will fee
the life giving impulse of the wata
but also the forage crops which ar,
yet to be planted, w, b. Sherman
is to be congratulated for being sC
fortunate as to get the first wote,

COMMERCIAL CLUB
WILL GO TO GALICE

1t has been suggested by Mayor
II. Z. Kinney and l.. B. Hall, presi-
ent of the Commercial Club, that an
excursion should be organized of the
business men of Grants Pass to visit
Galice for the purpose of learning
the values to be found in that min
ing district in order that this club
may have the opportunity to assist
in interesting capital to develop the
promising mines already opened up
In that part of our county. 1t is
proposed to take teams and go to the
mines early some morning so as to
arrive there at about 8 a. m. and
look over that portion OF the dis
trict that day and part of the next,
leaving Galice at three o'clock the
afternoon of the second day and
reach Grants Pass two and a half or
three hours later.
This is most important sugges-
tion and move in the right way 1t
is impossible to make Grants Pass
a commercial center worthy of the
name unless we build up the coun-
try which surrounds it. In the past
we may have possibly been somewhat
S lfish and taken little interest in
the gold, silver and copper values of
this section, and if so this move in
dicates that we are growing broader
in business sense and awakening
to our opportunities and that Galice
is not only great mining camp but
the men who have brought it to the
front deserve encouragement. They
have invested large capital and from
all we can learn half dozen or more
mines in that section promise to be-
come without delay first-class pro-
ducers.
Grants Pass and Galice can be of
mutual benefit to each other and it
is great misfortune that we have
not recognized this before. The
truth is that not one merchant in ten
in this city has ever visited this
camp which has produced In the past
many millions of dollars and is still
pouring out large stream of wealth
annually We are satisfied that
those who go on the excursion will
feel well repaid for the time taken
to make the round trip. Galice peo-
pie will feel honored by this visit and
will do all that they can to make the
occasion agreeable to the business
men composing the excursion party.
This is a good time Of the year for
such an event; the roads will be in
fine condition, while mountain, val
ley and river will be at their best
Later.
Just as we are going TO press we
have been notified by President Hall
of the Commercial Club that II has
been decided to make the excursion
to Galice and Almeda next Tuesday,
May 25, leaving here not later than
$50 a. m. in the morning and re-
turning Wednesday evening. There
is much enthusiasm among our mer-
chants regarding this excursion and
the chances are that considerable
number will join the party.
