this valley had been consummated yes
terday. The report is that B. A.
Packard has sold to A. ]. Peters and
associates of Tempe one-half of his
we'll known Tempe ranch, embracing
800 acres.
The consideration was not definitely
learned. but is said to have been in
the neighborhood of fifty thousand dol
lars. Mr.. Packard has been i'm Phoe-
nix for the last two or three days, and
left last night for the south The de-
tails of the sale or. for that matter
its verification could not be learned
last night for the rumor of it was not
heard until after Mr.. Packard had left
the city. 1t was heard. however, in
quarters that leave little doubt of the
truthfulness of the story

trying his different remedies the disease

ROOSEVELT POWER
FOR PHOENIX TODAY
Final Warning to Small Boys - The
Dangerous PIayfulness of
Ore of Them.

O. II Ensign. consulting electrical
engineer Of the reclamation service.
spent yesterday in Phoenix, leaving
again last evening for his home in
Los Angeles. His purpose was to be
present at an official trying out of the
new plant of the Pacific Gas & Elec-
trio company in this city. The line it
self had been tested before. but yes
terday .was the first delivery of pow
er by the government at any point
over this line. The governments ma
chinery was known to be all right and
Yesterday it was found that the new
machinery of the Pacific company was
all right. save the little friction nee
essary in getting things adjusted to
each other. Everything viii be all
right by today. and it is expected the
Pacific company will today begin
using the electricity generated at
Roosevelt. the first to be used by a
private patron under the Salt River
project No load was put on the ma
chinery yesterday. just enough pow
er being turned on to test things.
1t is timely to again warn people
living near or travelling along the
transmission line between here and
Roosevelt that the big wires are made
to carry electricity and from this good
hour forward. perhaps forever. they
are likely to be heavily charged. ANY
person. grown-up or small boy. who
fancies he can climb up the poles and
play with the wires will be taking his
life in his hands TO do so. This warn
ing has been repeated so often it may
seem foolish to some readers, but an
incident will demonstrate.

ing Wednesday and Thursday OF this
week. He was put under $500 bonds
to appear before the grand jury.
Some amusing incidents developed
at the trial when some of the small
boys were called on to identify the
man as the same who threw the coal.
Several of the boys very seriously
testified that they knew 1t was the
same negro because he had "Kinky"
hair and others were equally sure
of their man because he was 'blacker
than some of the Others There Is
no doubt, however, as to the identity
OF the man as he himself admits It,
otherwise 1t might be a rather hard
matter to hold negro for a crime
who was identified by his "kinky"
hair and his complexion. The man
gave his name as Alfred Johnson.
He has not yet been able to secure
the necessary bonds and is still con-
fined In the county Jail,

Grants Pass City Directory.

The publisher of the Courier
wishes to announce that he will with
out delay publish a directory OF
Grants Pass, having taken up the
work lately undertaken by Mr..
Stanfield, as other interests require
his attention. This directory will be
up to date In every respect and will
contain the names and addresses OF
every business, professional and
private citizen In this city.
The introduction to the work will
contain short historical sketch of
the town and county, and complete
list of all the different admins-
trations connected with this city
since It's Incorporation. It is the
intention to make the directory
worthy of Grants Pass and the en-
larged printing office of the Courier.

ponderous machine and weighs II
tons and the steel trucks about four
tons each.
1t will be seen that such an engine
and its loaded trucks will require
solid roads and strong bridges. The
new steel bridge on Sixth street
will stand the weight all right but
the lower bridge on the Applegate
will require strengthening. The
commissioners fortunately have been
re-timbering the bridge and the
Spaulding Brothers will put false
I work under to hold the great
weight of the lumber trains. The
wheels on the engine are eight feet
in diameter and the machine has a
tread Of little over nine feet. The
tires are two feet wide and those on
the trucks are 10 inches,

JUD PERNOLL GOES
TO AMERICAN LEAGUE

A dispatch published in the Port
land papers of Thursday announces
that the Detroit baseball club had Sc
cured Pernoll from the Aberdeen
club, consideration $4,000, which
means that hereafter Pernoll will
play in the American League. He
has been making such wonderful
record for himself since playing with
the Aberdeen team, having won 20
games out Of 2S played, that he has
attracted the attention of the big
leagues of the East and several of
the clubs have made efforts to cap
ture him. Pittsburg offered Aber-
deem $500 for Pernolrs release,
but the offer was not accepted, Aber-
deem holding out for $4,000. Detroit
came forward with the required
amount and secured him for their
team.
Judd Pernoll played in the Grants
Pass club three years ago and from
here he went to Portland to enter
the Pacific Coast league and played
with them until sold to Aberdeen
about the middle of last season
| This is a good record for PernolI
considering that he has played pro-
| fesslonal ball only a little over two
seasons

PONDEROUS TRACTION ENGINE
AND FOUR STEEL TRUCKS
THE SWEDE BASIN ROUTE
The Modern Train to Carry $4,000
Feet at a Load from Loves
Station to Grants Pass.

The demand for railroad trans
portation in this county was never
more forcibly illustrated than in the
purchase by single lumber concern
here of $4,000 outfit for trans
porting lumber from the forest to
this city. BY this means transporta-
tion is secured at greatly reduced
rate, but if we had hundred of
these trains hauling lumber from our
forests the market would not be
flooded. 1t would take many years
10 consume the supply. The amount
of lumber hauled long distances to
this city by the primitive method of
people if they were made aware of
the facts. Last month the proprietor
of the Courier paid visit to
Selma and in distance of II miles
passed 80 teams loaded with lumber
and some of these had trailers at
tached. From what might be con-
sidered official sources we are in
formed that 10000 feet of lum-
her is hauled to Grants Pass within
the space of four months each year
The long distance haul by these
teams is expensive and, in some
cases, prohibitive.
A monster Best steam traction en-
zine and four trucks made of steel
arrived this week and will be put on
the road hauling lumber from Swede
Bssin 10 this city by the Swede Basin
Lumber Company, managed by the
SDauldng Brothers, Of this city.
This outfit will make a train which
will haul on an average $4,000 feet
ata load. The trucks are intended
to hold 10000 feet each and very
often take more. The traction engine
has capacity Of 110 horsepower
and Is fitted to use for steam pur.

gine win use wood, as such fuel will
be the cheapest in this section. The
lower grade lumber hauled will be
used at the Gazelle box factory il
this city and the high grade will be

The lumber will be brought dowi
the mountains to Loves Station b,

from that point it will be hauled Il

STEEL bridge
NEARLY READY
CONTRACTORS TURN OVER BIG
STRUCTURE TO COUNTY
IS WORTH THE MONEY
The Outlet of n Vast Empire of Agri-
culture, Mineral and Forest
Wealth.

A visit to the new bridge at the
foot of Sixth street shows that the
finishing strokes in the construction
are fast being made. On Wednes-
day the laying of the upper flooring
OF 2-inch plank was commenced and
was pushed rapidly forward. The
main floor is Of 4x12 fir plank and
on this the upper floor is laid diagon-
ally. This makes the bridge cover
ing six inches thick and il should
last some time, even subjected. as It
is, to the heaviest travel of any road
In Southern Oregon; II is the outlet
of vast empire, rich In agricultural,
mineral and forest wealth. The
bridge will long be monument to
the skin Of the Columbia Bridge
company, who have given the county
the full value for the money paid for
the structure.
Work after the washout was COM
menced about February |, and from
that time on It has been pushed to-
ward completion as fast as good
workmanship would Justify. The
plans and specifications were follow
ed closely and the county's interests
were looked after by Commissioner
Wertz nearly every hour of the time
of construction. The county might
have employed an expert and paid
/ him $3.50 or $400 per month as they
would have been obliged to do, but
the public Interest, perhaps, would
not have been served any better than
they have been at n very small part
of the sum mentioned. There were
times when Mr. Wortz felt his re-
sponsibility was great and It would
not have taken much to have made
him give mp the job Of superylslng.
