Little Girl fingers Until 4 O'Clock
Sunday Morning.

A terrible tragedy was enacted at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs +. H. Ingra-

ing, when their son Ralph, aged about
II years, accidentally shot and killed
his little sister Grace, aged three years.
The shooting occurred between 730 and
8 o'clock Saturday evening, and the
little girl fingered in an unconscious
condition until o'clock Sunday mora
ing, when the end came.
Just how the shooting was brought
about has not been learned, the children
having been alone at the time Mr.
Ingraham was at the store and Mrs
ingraham was also cut for the even
ing. Ralph had a 80 caliper revolver
which it is said that ne had become
the pOssessor of unknown to his par

was discharged. To one of the neigh
bors who fastened to the house Oh
learning of the tragedy the little fell

revolver was loaded.
The bullet struck the little girl about
an inch and a half above and a little
in front of the right ear, and taking
a slightly downward and backward
course. came out over the left ear, both
wounds being nearly identical. Sur
gical aid was soon at hand, but it was
evident from the first that nothing
could be done, and the end came as
above stated.
Funeral services will be held at the
house at 100 Tuesday afternoon.

Thousands of Grape Cuttings.

Earl " Ingles, the nuseryman, has
100000 Flaming Tokay grape cut
tings planted in close nursery order
and they occupy about six acres of
ground. The young plants are do
ing well, that is just commencing to
put forth thrifty shoots, These have
been grown without water until a
few days ago. It has been found that
home grown stock is superior to that
'"d in from other points and
this is the object Mr.. Ingles has in
going into the business in large
way, Two hundred thousand grape
vines will, however, fall far short
of the demand for the Totay next
year as there is every indication that
many vineyards will be planted in
1910.

Possible Ocean Outlet.

Elias Ruud, consulting engineer
representing strong combine of
financiers, has been spending this
last week in Grants Pass. He has
studied the problem of railroad
from Crescent City to the Rogue
River valley and has come to the con-
clusion that Grants Pass offers the
greatest advantages as the eastern
terminal of this proposed road.
While Mr.. Ruud is unwilling to state
in detail the plans for the immedi-
ate future, he asserts that the work
on a general survey and permanent
location will begin very soon.
The city of Medford has been con-
sidered as the objective point, but
those interests there which would
make 1t feasible and profitable to
build to that point have, as yet. not
been in a position to do business.
I'VE are not looking for anything
in the local field, but the best pos
sible location and a reasonable as
surance Of tonnage for our road.
We think We can get that, and when
