THE NEW CITY ADMINISTRATION

THE NEW CITY ADMINISTRATIONS
The newly inaugurated city ad-
ministration will receive hearty
welcome from all who favor making
Grants Pass prosperous and thor
oughly progressive municipality. In
aBmuch as all the successful candi-
dates, the mayor and council, ran
on. progressive ticket, pledged to
business-like methods, we may
expect an up-to-date municipal
government. There will be many
demands on this administration but
Il is safe to say that everyone OF
these will be met In a busines-like
way. Street paving, sewer construc-
tion anu the stamping out OF nuls-
ances including the unlawful sale OF
Intoxicating liquors, no matter under
what name they are vended, will all
come up for action. These are only
a part Of the demands the majority
OF the voters will make on the new
city officials. We think It safe to
predict that the men who were
chosen at the late election will not
be found wanting when they are
tried In the balance.
Grants Pass must not only be
progressive but clean town from
whatever standpoint II may be
judged. II will be in order for the
city government to In every way
possible assist in the upbuilding OF
Grants Pass; In short whatever may
advance our business interests or in
crease the prosperity Of the city as
center OF population that we have
faith to believe will receive attention
at the hands OF the new administra-
ton.

money at home and add 1t to the
wealth of our farmers.
Again irrigation will develop here
a creamery and cheese factory
which will add largely to the pros
perity of our farmers and will make
this the supply point for these i'm
portant articles OF commerce.
The Increase OF farm productions
through irrigation will make Grants
Pass and other railroad towns in this
county shipping points for every COM
modify produced on the farm, aud
through this means great wealth will
be added to the farms under our ir-
rigating system.
Irrigation will more than double
the production OF our orchards and
vineyards and will render these i'm
portant industries successful each
and every year to come. In the

Irrigation is the only dependence
OF the small fruit grower Straw
berries, raspberries and blackberries,
with all their numerous varieties can
only be successfully grown by the use
OF water. These fruits are very prof
table for shipping, and under irri-
cation this could be made a noted
place for the cultivation of small
fruits.
The Courier realizes these are
timely topics, now that irrigation Is
in sight and interested parties should
and doubtless will get ready to rev
olutlonize methods on the farm, in
the orchard and vineyard as well as
in the garden.

lar fruit grown In the United States

interested In this important subject.
that is In tho cultivation OF the ap-
pie for profit. Grants Pass is the
center OF a vast territory which II Is
admitted will grow to perfection
more kinds OF fruit than any other
part OF the Pacific coast. This is
the testimony OF the most experlen-
ced fruit growers who have investi-
gated the subject. There exists
conditions In this part OF Rogue
River Valley which make Il the ideal
place for the growing OF the apple
The soil and climate in combination
with tho bright sunshine, give size,
color and flavor. producing a fruit
that has never been equaled In any
otncr part OF the world.
The interesting and highly i'm
portant article referred to points out
the present dificulty OF growing ap-
pies In many OF the states which
have heretofore been large producers
and gives the facts ss to the uniform
success which has rewarded the
Northwest, The article will greatly
encourage those who last year plant
ed large apple orchards In this
county. This business Is without
doubt, whom well managed. highly
profitable and those who have the
means. the knowledge and a desire
to follow the occupation of an or

In connection with the adjustment
of the glove rates former Representa-
tive Littauer of New York, the largest
glove manufacturer in this country
was admitted to the conference cham
Der, where he made an earnest ap-
peal for the retention of the rates
named by the house.
Kenneth Barnhart, manager for
Marshall Field & Co., Chicago, the
largest importers of gloves in this
country, was also admitted. They are
were admitted one after the other, to
give their views.
Just before the close of the session
the print paper schedule was reopened
and the rate fixed at $3.75 a ton. This
is only rs cents less than the senate
rate and $1.75 more than the house
rate. 1t is expected this rate will
raise the ire of the members of the
special committee of the house which
investigated the wood pulp and paper
question, especially as the chairman,
Representative Mann (illinoiS), has
announced that he would not vote for
the conference report unless the 50
rate was retained. The conference
rate is $2.25 a ton less than the exist
ing rate. Hides were left on the free
list, contingent upon the adoption of
the rule in the House making possible
the action of the conferees in going
below the house rates in fixing the
rates on leather.
If the report is laid before the
house on Friday, according to the
present program, it will be taken up
Saturday.

KANsAN IN MEXICAN RIOTS.
Story of Battle Told by w. j. BisseII
of PhiIIipsburg.

Ell PasO, Tex, July Bone thousand
people were thrown into prison, at least
IL were killed and many others wound
ed in charges made by the Mexican
Phillipsburg, Kan, who arrived here
from Guadalajara, Mexico, the scene OF
the riots Saturday and Sunday. BisseIl
was in the Garcia hotel. which was
wrecked by the mob, wheen two Amer
leans were wounded.
His story of the uprising follows:
Saturday morning 16 Corral and
Dtaz speakers came to Guadalajara to
hold meetings. They went to the plaza
Saturday night, but the Reyistas drove
them to the Garcia hotel and broke
cut the windows in the south side of the
hotel with rocks.
Sunday morning the Corral-Diaz
speakers planned to hold a meeting in
the Delgado theater.
THE Reyistas went down there and
erected small barricade between the
Palza des Armas and the theater. They
tore up coDbestones and piled furni-
ture across the gap.
In little while two squadrons of
cavalry came charging up. 1 hid be-
hind stone pillar. The cavalry swept
over the karricade. shooting into the
crowd of about 500 or 500 people behind
il and after they mad shot a path to
the other side, made a return charge
with drawn sabers. slashing all who
came in their way The Reyistas re-
turned the fire but with little effect.
Il believe seven were killed at this
riace, about 40 seriously wounded and
about 200 arrested. No meeting was
held in the Delgado theater.
Sunday afternoon at 2:30, when I
was at the HOte. Garcia, a mob of be-
tween $500 and 5000 men come upon
the place from three sides. They were
au shouting: Death to Diaz; death to
Corral; viva Reyes Some of them
were armed.
They sacked the barber shop and
started in the main entrance of the
hotel. Two Americans in an upper bal
cory opened fire and another Joined
them from a room A little English
girl about 16 years old got six
shooter from somewhere and began to
fire into the crowd. 1 saw three men
killed near the hotel entrance. Two
Americans were injured. There were
about 25 foreigners in the hotel
Finally the cavalry arrived and dis
persed the mob. Practically every win
COW in the hotel was broken. Small
attachments of cavalry hunted down
flying groups of the Reyistas and there
we're several hundred herded up near
the hotel. They must have arrested
1000 men.
1.-The Corra1-Diaz men were then es-
sorted o the train under guard of a
detachment of cavalry and infantry
men were put on the train to protect
them from violence.
Il left on the same train. The speak
ers in q special car went to Mexico
City. 1 saw several bodies in the
streets and many were wounded IN the
cavalry charges"
