HAVE TROUBLE
OVER A HORSE
Woodbridge Man Made Com
plant Before a South
Amboy Justice.
FACTS AT HEARING
to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, March 20:-On
complaint Of Frank l.. Swackhamer
of Woodbridge, Stephen Locasz was
apprehended Thursday afternoon on
warrant issued by Justice Mason
of this city. The complaint as made
by Swackhamer against Lovacz was
for stealing horse from George A.
Hoffman, of Woodbridge.
Lovacz was unable to furnish bail
and was committed to the county Jail
to await the action of the grand
jury. Sufficient bail being furnished
the Justice issued warrant for the
release of Lovacz.
At the hearing the following cir
cumstances developed: That Lovacz
owed Hoffman $104 and had only
s15 to pay on account. Hoffman,
wishing to secure his bill, made the
proposition to Lovacz that he would
receipt his bill, give him $50 and a
horse for one that he owned. The
dicker was made and Hoffman sent
his son along with Lovacz to bring
home the horse which he did. This
becoming known to Lovacz's wife,
she was dissatisfied and resolved to
have the horse back again. Gather
ing reinforcement of several men
for her husband she. with ler hus-
band and the men, proceeded to
Hoffman's where they found the
horse attached to a wagon in use by
Hoffman's son and hired man, when
an onslaught was made upon them
and Lovacz forcibly took possession
of the horse (Which he now claims,
belongs to his wife). He detached
the horse from the wagon and took
him home, hence the complaint for
the theft of the horse.

LAWLESSNESS
Citizens Want a Police Force
Sufficient to Preserve Or
der in the City.
THE LATEST OUTRAGE
Special to tho EVENING wEws.


South Am6oy, March 20:-It ap-
pears that since South Amboy has be-
come a city there is an element with
in its limits that is greatly on the
increase. 1t will appeal to any right
minded man that to make our police
force efficient it is really necessary
to enlarge the same. The hoodlum
element seems to have unlimftd sway
as our police force Is 80 small that
while they are in one part of the city
the lawless element is operating In
another. Women are being insulted
who keep silent for the reason that
they do not wish notoriety. Others
are held up and while some may be
of questionable reputation, yet they
should have the protection of the
| law If they crave it, as we'll as any
other person. Thursday evening
this lawless element was again al
work. Lawrence McQuail had been
employed by Michael Welsh to clean
| his cesspool and about o'clock Fri
day morning as he was attending to
| his business he was set upon by the
| lawless element in the town and he
and his horse were assailed with
bricks and stones in such a manner
that he was compelled to desist from
work while the people in the vicinity
were aroused from their slumbers by
the yelling and bowling Of those en-
gagged in this lawlessness. How
long must peaceable citizens endure
these things? What are those do
ing who are placed In authority?
Are they trying to get ordinances
formulated and passed that will give
to the citizens efficient protection?
Must a quiet, inoffensive citizen be
stoned when in the act Of earning a
livelihood because those in authority
seem more willing to indulge in par
tizan chickering's than to look into
matters and inform themselves OF
the inadequacy of the police force.

Bear Creek as tributary beneficiaries
to the name Of the Great Rogue
River Valley of which Grants Pass
Is the center and sole city lying along
side and wholly within its natural
boundary.
Josephine County as whole Ia the
richest district in Southern Oregon.
The finest timber, the richest min
eral deposits, the richest soil and
practically the only home OF the
tokay grape In Southern Oregon.
Let us not forget our neighboring
valleys Let us work for the inter-
est of all the valleys, especially In
Josephine County. Let us not speak
disparaglngly of our neighbors in
the county adjoining for in doing so
we do ourselves an injury. The
Rogue River Valley should embrace
all its tributaries and one cannot
speak against the others or any Of
them without condemning his own
locality, and It is not good thing
any way TO attempt to grow by tear
ing anybody else down. The Rogue
River Valley is known far and wide
as the most fertile and productive
in Oregon, and It is well If the whole
valley be praised by all. Let us re-
ioice together at the advent of this
day. Let us get together and work.
Let US stand shoulder to shoulder In
the great work Of development which
is Just begun. Let Us exert ourselves
in season and out Of season to bring
TO the knowledge Of the world the In
finite resources of Josephine County.
Let there be no one to pull back, but
ever moving onward we are bound to
, win.
thank you for the opportunity OF
saying these few words, which as
sure you come from my heart, but
which are expressed on the impulse
OF the moment.

qhe Great Irrigation Canal Commenced

push the work to early completion.
We are depending on no outside pow
ers, no governmental machinery to
complicate, hinder or delay our pro-
gress. We can, If We will, have a
system of irrigation to cover our
lands as rapidly as the said lands are
ready for the water. This means
more to US than the most optimistic
of you have ever dared to dream.
All kinds of questions are being
asked Why was this particular pro-
ject chosen? Why not go to Savage
Rapids, Rock Point, Gold Hill or
some other point farther up the river
and take out a gravity line and save
the cost of pumping, etc, etc? Do
you realize, friends, that 1t would re-
quire ditch no less than 140 miles
long to bring the waters from Rogue
River to cover less than two-thirds
of the lands we propose to cover by
this system? This is saying nothing
of the expensive rock work and other
obstacles we would encounter.
Our plan is to put in a gravity

this occasion ! rose from a sick bed
determined 10 be with you at any
cost 1t has been my pleasure and
pleasant duty to act as the president
OF the Grants Pass Commercial Club,
and ! am deeply interested in what
you are doing. This Is the greatest
event and will be more far-reaching
in its results than anything that ever
happened at Grants Pass. Irrigation
will completely reclaim every foot OF
available soil in Josephine County so
D
that in a few years the whole valley
will blossom with orchards and vine
yards. The people OF Josephine
County have struggled for years to
better conditions, but today you cast
the die whereby the whole district is
emancipated and will no longer be
subject to droughts In the past we
have been conscious OF the presence
OF the "knocker," but from and after
this day It will become him to hold
his peace and II he can't say some
thing good about his home town to

some of our neighboring cities over

Rogue River, would lay claim to be-

so so far as to propose to put up
signs at Gold Hill and Ashland as
the beginning of the end of Rogue
Liver Valley, claiming that Grants
Pass is not to be considered. Just
let them wait until this irrigation
system is In operation and they will
learn that Grants Pass is to be con-
sidered, and since the real rule Of
progress is to begin at the lower end
and work up we will develop our re-
sources in our own way, for we are

new men to come into this country

velopment. This will reduce our
taxation, increase the value of our
individual holdings and make this

The work before us to be accom-
plished by the advertising campaign
this year, to put It short, Is to bring
men with capital into this county to
clear up our stump and brush lands
and plant them to apples, pears and
grapes; to open our mines which
are rich In gold and copper and will
warrant the investment of the capi-
tai necessary to develop them. This

In view and that is to bring to us

all OF us had to dig down for the

The plain truth about 1t Is that
the promoters wanted the money
and knew how to get II. To begin
with, the promoters controlled both
the telephone company and the cou'
structlon company. AS the tele-
phone company, they contracted
with themselves to pay themselves
10 per cent. on construction. That
is, for every dollar they spent as the
telephone company, they made 10
per cent. profit as the construction
company. Then they noated the
bonds at 87h with 100 per cent.

every person who bought a 800
bond and paid $3.50 for II was
given 800 OF stock, par value, as a
bonus, And every dollar OF the
stock was water.
We don't know how much the
plant cost, but bond issue OF So
500 900 was authorized, and a stock
issue OF the same amount. II all
the bonds and stock have been Is

enough to pay interest on the bonds;

dends on the stock. The moment
