Soil Survey Commenced.

A. T. Strahorn, sent to this section
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture, was in the city Thurs
day looking over the field prepara-
tory TO entering upon his duties in
making a soil survey of the Rogue
River valley Mr. Strahorn has
been stationed in Southern Califor-
MIA, coming to this valley last week
and making his headquarters for
the present at Ashland. Owing to
the fact that the government appro-
priation was small there are only six
soil survey men on the coast, and
three Of them are In Washington
working in conjunction with the state
government. Mr.. Strahorn will com
mence his work at the upper end of
the valley and work this way, and
as one man can cover but eight or
ten square miles per week, II will be
impossible for him to get as far as
Grants Pass The season for this
work closes with the advent Of rain
IN the fall. so II will be another year
at least before Josephine county Is
benefited by the survey We are

STREET IMPROVEMENTS
MAKE RAPID STRIDES
Thousands of Feet of Cement Curb
ing and Sidewalks Have
Been Laid.

Up to the present time the street
improvements of various kinds have
been progressing as rapidly as could
be expected. Although actual paving
will not begin for several days yet,
II will move the more rapidly when
it does begin, by the grading and ce-
ment work being well out of the way.
Up to the present time there has been
laid about 1000 feet of straight curb,
1S0 feet of curved curb, and about
1900 square feet of cement walk
Two blocks on G street and two on
Sixth street have been graded to the
required subgrade and rolled ready
to receive the first layer of the pave
ment.
Every care Is being exercised by
the contractors and the city officials
to see that the foundation is properly
prepared and that no leaks in water
pipes, or any possible stoppages In
drainage have been overlooked which
might be injurious to the pavement
after completed.
There is now before the city coun-
ell petitions and recommendations for
the improvement of Fifth, II and
Seventh streets, and also the con
tinuation Of Sixth street, from the
south end of the present pavement
to the bridge.
In preparing the plans for these
improvements the engineering force
have found some very slight conflicts
in lines and grades which have been
made from the fact that most OF the
permanent improvements which have
been put in heretofore were done
only by a small piece at one time,
with no thought as TO the continu-
alton of the same TO other streets
and blocks; but these discrepancies
have been overcome by system OF
equalization and distribution OF
grades which will not be noticeable
when completed. II has always been
supposed that there existed an angle
at the intersection of Sixth and J.
streets. but II is found that the east
| line OF Sixth street Is an exact con
tinuation OF Sixth from the north
end. and from some unknown reason
the west side Of Sixth street has been
pulled to the west By the improve
ments at the south end, and the ac
tual width OF the. street near The
bridge is about SO feet. as the walk'
and fences indicate, instead Of Sc

proposition depends upon the forma-
tion of an irrigation district. The
work of building the plant, includ-
ing dam and bitches, would be un-
dertaKen at an expense of $40.5O an
acre.
Engineer Hall was at the meeting
and stated that he had been sent to
examine Squaw Lake and vicinity
and to make a report, but the time
allowed him for an investigation was
so short that he would be unable to
give more than the bare facts Of
measurement. He thought there was
opportunity to build a hundred-foot
dam, which would impound 5000
acre feet of water His talk abound
ed in large amount of information
around Squaw Lake, but he seemed
not disposed to make any recon-
mendation or give an opinion. There
was considerable discussion among
the stockholders, but the meeting ad-
journed after referring the two prop
ositions back to the board of direc-
tors. Later these gentlemen met In
the First National Bank parlors and
took up the subject where the stock
holders meeting had dropped it. 1t
was finally determined to have o. s.
Blanchard and H. D. Norton look up
all the legal points in the case, and
II possible determine the legal status
of contract that will protect the
rights of the stockholders and water
users of the company. When these
gentlemen make report President
Gilkey will call the board together.
The general impression seems to
be that this part Of the Rogue River
valley will in the very near future
be supplied with water for irrigation.

AT the present time Grants Pass is
the very center of prosperity and
this assertion is borne out by the
fact that an army OF workmen are
engaged in building here beautiful
city. Not to speak of the large force
who are paving the business center
OF the town and the rebuilding OF
sidewalks and that other large de-
tachments engaged In putting the
electric light wires, telegraph wires
and telephone wires under the sur
face, Is an equal number OF skilled
laborers engaged In the construction
of many buildings throughout the
city. The Courier has heretofore in
dicated that Grants Pass would re-
quire the construction OF large
number of homes for the use OF those
who will take up residence In this
city during the next three or four
months. Many plans for these new
homes have already been made by
our architects, some Of them are al
ready under construction and the
balance will be within the next few
weeks. Below will be found a par

struction and contemplated

FLOWERS NOW A LAMBDA SIG.
Acting Secretary Of Commerce Board
Made Member Of Society He
Founded.

FOUNDED.
Acting Secretary Norman Flowers,
of the Detroit Board OF Commerce,
was greatly surprised day or Ywo ago
to learn that he had been made a
member Of the lambda Sigma fratern-
ity, one of the largest of the high
school Greek letter societies in the
country. During his high school days
Mr.. Flowers was a member OF an or
ganization known as the Kappa Pi,
which died out after brief existence.
He suggested to some Of the good fell
lows who had not yet finished their
course that they form another society,
on the order Of the Kappa Pi. He out
lined a plan Of organization and In
accordance with II several of the boys
of the Tenth grade got together and
inaugurated the Lambda Sigma. It
was such a success that the idea
spread to other schools and II has
grown until today the Lambda Sigma
has 20 chapters in as many schools
scattered throughout the country. The
Detroit organization, being the father
of them ALL is known as Alpha chap
ter.
Mrs. Flowers has always been given
credit for founding the fraternity. In
a recent meeting someone suggested
that the father OF the society ought to
at least be a member. SO Mr.. Flow
ers' name was proposed and his cleo
ton to active membership was unan-
imous. The Lambda Sigma is now is
years old.
