In Thursday afternoon. The doc

4he presence of the doctor and given
a pleasant greeting. After the usual

Itlues, the newspaper man gradually
|led up to city matters and tried to
|brlng out the new mayors ideas as
,o municipal affairs. In reply to a
Question regarding the paving of the
Isreets he said:
"Now Is the time to get to work.
h believe a majority of our property
Owners are In favor of paving" and
WITH some force he added, 81 don't
thnk there is a question about it. |
ihall not only approve of every move
IN the proper direction but will as

When asked his opinion about the
prospects for Grants Pass during the
coming year, he said:
Paving or any kind of public
work always brings prosperity to a

THE INTERURBAN

Enthusiastic Vote Of All the
Members Present.

The city council met In special
session last Monday night for the
purpose Of considering the Allen

peope generally, including the mem

That these auriferous conglomer-
ates are Cretaceous (Horsetown and
Chico) is clearly shown by the fos-
sils contained in the over lying sand
stones and shales."
Now | believe that this statement
Is not justified by the conditions, be-
cause no survey Of a complete char
acter has yet been officially made
and there is no certainty as to the
conclusion drawn by Diller as, SO far,
there is nothing definite as yet. I
very much regret that Col Draper is
not geologist. II he was one at
the time he made his report out he
would have placed higher value on
the conglomerates. You will note
what you people are suffering be-
cause you have not insisted on your
formations being mapped and color
ed.

LETTERS ON THE SUBJECT FROM
WE'LL KNOWN MINING MEN
MUST WRITE TO HAWLEY
IL We DO Our Part the Much Needed
Government Aid WIN Come
TO Us.

The publication of the letter from
the geological department last week
In regard to the survey of the Calico
quadrangle has created deep interest
among mining men all over the coun-
ty, and It is to be hoped they will
pretty generally write Congressman
Hawley to have the whole county in
eluded In the survey, This Is an inn
portant matter and the letters should
be written at once. Our congressman
Is thoroughly In earnest TO help this
section and II we fail TO secure the
survey 1t will he largely because the
men interested in mining in Jose
phine county fail to request that the
work be done,
This survey should have been made
many years ago and undoubtedly 1t
would have received attention II we
had persistently asked for Il. II is
after all a matter which, TO a great
extent, Is In the hands OF the Con-
gressman, and II he mas his atten-
tion directed to II by his constituents
he will In time secure the much need
ed survey.
The following letter on this sub
ject comes from one OF our well
known mining men who is doing
what he can to assist in the develop
ment of the mineral resources OF the
county
Waldo, Ore, Dec. IA, 1909,
Mr.. Editor: In connection with Mr..

Important school Meeting Called.

II Will be noticed In this issue of
the Courier there Is a call for meet
Ing OF the taxpayers OF District No.
7 to be held at the High School
building on December 23 for the pur-
pose OF considering the adylsabillty
of purchasing a site and erecting
new high school building, This Is a
matter OF the highest Importance and
every person interested In the sub
iect should attend the meeting. Too
often only few persons attend
school meetings and thus the public
business suffers.
