A BUSINESS MANS
VISIT TO GALICE
A. c. HOlcomb, a Grants Pass Mer.
chant, Talks About the Oriole
and Almeda.

A. c. Holcomb, of the Peerless
Clothing company, visited Galice
and Almeda the first of the month
and has returned greatly pleased
with the conditions in that country
since the visit of the members of
the commercial club last year. In
speaking Of the Galice mining dis
trict, Mr.. Holcomb said:
MY first trip to the noted min
ing camp down the river was last
summer, when accepted an invita-
tion to go on an excursion to a num-
Der of mines around Galice. I was
pleased then at what I saw, for It
seemed to me that rich mining
camp was being developed in jose
phine county and I could not help
feeling that, as a. business man of
Grants Pass, | was deeply interested.
I came home from that trip we'll
pleased with the excursion, for I
met many gentlemen interested In
the development of the mines who
are thorough-going business men.
This summer I made another
trip and again went through the
mines and noted what had been ac-
complished in the twelve months
since I was there before. I carefully
examined the Oriole mine. and was
surprised and pleased with the i'm
provements which had taken place.
It was a rich mine and 1t has flu
ture which will reward those inter-
ested in the property. Much new
machinery has been installed and a
large amount of development work
accomplished. There is every in
dication that the work of developing
the rich property will go on until the
Oriole becomes a great producer.
"T was deeply interested in the
improvements which have taken
place in the big Almeda, which is
located three miles below the Galice
postofflce. The smelter which has
been built since my last visit is
nearly ready to blow In. They are
now hauling coke from the railroad
and several carloads are already In
the bins. AS soon as a sufficient
supply has been accumulated to keer
the smelter going operations will be
commenced. My party went down
the big shaft, which is intended to
reach a point 1000 feet below the
water line OF the river. Already
they have reached something ovel
900 feet from the surface, and was
told that they are working a nigh
and day shift, so as to complete thu
shaft as soon as possible.
Numerous tunnels enter the sid'
of the mountain ana these amount u
several thousand feet in length. Th'
ore taken ont is we'll mineralized

scale. This automobile and auto

ROOSEVELT MUM
ON POLITICS

Naples, Italy, April 4.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, accompanied by
his wife, his daughter Ethel, and his
son Kermit, left Naples Sunday af-
ternoon for Rome, where the former
president will be received by King
Victor Emmanuel.
Arriving here Saturday afternoon
on the steamer Prinz Heinrich,
Roosevelt spent quiet day, going
through a mass of mail and cable
grams that awaited him and receiv-
ing visitors.
Still Mum on Politics.
Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel
spent the day shopping, while Ker-
NIT rushed to Pompeii, where he
spent the entire day inspecting the
ruins. After returning from the
aquarium which he visited in the
afternoon, Colonel Roosevelt gave an
audience to the local newspaper men.
He reiterated that he would not
talk, now or any time on his trip,
of American politics, or American
internal affairs.
In the evening Colonel Roosevelt
and family drove through crowded
streets to the San Carlos opera house,
where they listened to the opera.
City Decked With Flags.
The Hotel Excelsior, in which the
Roosevelt party is stopping, is deco
rated with American flags, and the
orchestra played American national
airs. Scores of private homes and
business houses are decorated with
flags. The city has taken on gala
appearance.
Naples is the hotbed of Italian
secret societies, and Mr.. Roosevelt Is
practically surrounded by detectives
whenever he appears on the streets.
Col. Roosevelt was received in pri-
vate audience before the king this
morning. He shall dine with the
king in the evening.

WILL PASS UP VATICAN
Roosevelt Will Not Consent to Make
Papal Visit Under Conditions Imposed by the
Holy Father-ROme and American
Diplomatic Circles Disturbed

Rome, April 4-The determina-
ton of Roosevelt to forego an audi
ence with the pope rather than sub
scribe to conditions imposed by the
aVtican HIS created a sensation. This
unfortunate unexpected incident
oyershadows every other feature of
the distinguished Americans visit.
Roosevelt sought an audience with
the pontiff through American AM
bassador Leishman and received a
reply that the holy. father would be
deIighter to see him but the answer
was coupled with an expression OF
hope that the audience would not be
prevented by such a regretable Incl
dent as made an audience for former
Vice President Fairbanks impossible.
Roosevelt in turn said he could
not accept any stipulation limiting
his freedom of conduct. To the lat
ter message the Vatican made an an
swer that the audience could not
take place excepting on the under
standing as first stated.
On March 20, Roosevelt sent Leish-
man the following cablegram:
Proposed presentation is, OF
course, now impossible"
Roosevelt insists that the incident
be treated purely as personal and
earnestly hopes it will not give rise
to any bitterness. He appreciates
the attitude of the Vatican, but feels
that as a free American citizen he
cannot consistently take any ovation
that might be considered involving
the Limitation of his freedom or his
personal conduct. He had made no
arrangements to address the Metho-
dists or other religious bodies in
Rome, but at the same time thinks
he should not make promises as to
what he will or will not do. It would
appear today. so far as the Vatican
and Roosevelt are concerned, the in
cident is closed.

Spraying Too Early.

Spraying is being done too early
for results in some instances, accord.
ing to a statement made by Professor
Trumble Saturday. He had just re-
turned from an inspection of 15C
trees and found the results of a lot
of wasted labor. There is much vari.
alton In climate around Wenatchee
and it is impossible to name any GER

termine that, and il the spraying is
done too soon 1t is wasted work.

The news that the former presi-
dent has abandoned the proposed
visit to the Vatican reached the morn
ing papers late but it made a very
deep impression The Messenger, an
ant1-clerical organ, alone comments
editorially and says. when the
news was spread it was received with
incredulity, many regarding it as a
malicious fabrication by the enemies
of the Catholic church, but when con-
firmed it produced comment disas-
trous to the Vatican. Men of every
religion daily visit the pope without
first giving the itinerary of the
churches they intend to visit Why
should the Vatican require Roosevelt
to ignore the churches of his own re-
lfgion during his stay in Rome. The
incident will not add to diplomatic
fame of the pope or his advisors.
Roosevelt, as head of the great Amer
lean republic, followed the principle
enunciated by Premier Luzzatti, a
free church under sovereign state. :"
Though the gates Of the Vatican
are eternally closed to Colonel Roose-
welt, other gates of the Eternal City
will welcome him. Today the Quiri-
nal gates will swing for him.
The colonel meets the king a half
hour before Mrs. Roosevelt goes to
see the queen. Both dine in the pal
ace tonight. There will be no meet
ing of Colonel Roosevelt and the
pope This was the paralyzing bomb
shell exploded just after he reached
Rome last night.
A regrettable situation has arisen,
due mainly to fear ia repetition of
the Fairbanks incident which strenu-
Gus diplomats have failed to smooth
over, and tonight Roosevelt has be-
come in Rome, as he was in Africa,

strom of comment.

His system was more up to date than
the Wenatchee way. If man came

seats in the grand stand if he laid
down a dollar. Joe Cohn proves his
