day, the cath, gives the following
important information regarding a
railroad line south from this city.
IAN important step towards giving
Portland direct rail connection with
the southern Oregon and northern
California coast was divulged this
morning when articles of incorpora-
tion of the Grants Pass & Western
were filed in the office of the county
clerk The incorporators are ]. p.
OBrien, general manager of the
Hartman lines in Oregon; c. G.
Sutherland, chief clerk in the office
of the general manager, and James
G. Wilson, one of the Hartman in
terest attorneys Thus it will be
seen that the line will form a part
of the big Hartman system.
"The capital stock of the company
is given as 100000, and the pur-
poses of the corporation is to build
and operate railroad line between
Crescent City, Cal. and Grants Pass,
Ore.
The distance Is about 10 miles.
The road will tap some rich timber,
mining and agricultural lands In Jo-
sephine and Curry counties, Oregon,
and Del Norte county, Cal. It will
give splendid outlet for the prod
uct of the famous redwood forests Of
Del Norte and the mines of Jose
phine county, Oregon
Development Been Retarded.
For years development OF these
properties has been retarded because
of lack of transportation facilities.
II is predicted that with the building
of the projected road vast virgin
districts will he thrown open with
amazing rapidity The forests in
Curry county and the agricultural
and horticultural possibilities there
are Of such magnitude, too, that with
the completion OF the railroad that
section of the state will az once
spring into great prominence.
About four months ago the coun-
try through which the line is to pass
was thoroughly inspected by Gener-
al Manager O'Brien and Traffic
Manager r. p. Miller but upon his
return from the trip Mr. O'Brlen
said that no significance should be
attached to the trip because II was
only in the nature OF a vacation. the
trip having been made in auto from
Grants Pass He expressed himself
as very favorably impressed with
the country and It's beautiful natural
resources and opportunities for de-
veloDment.

FOREST FIRES
AROUND MEDFORD
Ranchmen and Farmers i'm Various
Districts Fighting Hard to
Save Homes.

MedtOr0 mas Deen III lne center Vi
forest fires for some days, and while
the fire has not been allowed to do
any great damage the people of the
various districts are fairly used up
fighting the devouring element. The
Medford Sun of Wednesday says
that settlers living near Asbestos, at
the head of Evans creek and north
of Woodville are in danger of losing
their homes in a forest fire which is
raging in that vicinity One of the
settlers came to Medford yesterday
and asked the forest service for
help, stating that the people there
were exhausted and that help was
urgently needed.
Another new fire was reported
yesterday afternoon at Three Mile
creek on the east side of the range.
This fire has burned over three hun
dred acres and threatens to become
one of the largest fires In the forest.
Fourteen men are at this fire and
more will be hired If they can be Sc
cured
Ranger Somerville reported a new
fire three and a half miles north OF
Lilyglen, in the Dead Indian coun-
try. which Is on ton OF the Cascade
mountains and about twenty-five
miles east OF Ashland. The ranger
and a force OF ranchers living in
that vicinity are at this fire and II
is hoped to have It under control be-
fore long
A large fire Is burning at the head
of Jackson creek, about four miles
from town. Jacksonville, which is on
this creek is in no danger, though
the flames are reported as sweeping
toward town This is outside OF the
forest boundaries and only the
rarchers are fighting It.
Conditions on the fires around
Ashland have grown worse. The
Wagner creek fire, which It was
thought would he under control by
this time. has increased, as have the
fires in Ashland canyon, and the two
fire zones have become merged de-
snte the efforts Of the men employ
cd and the volunteers from Ashland.
Tonight there are fifty-seven
soldiers and two officers and one
hundred men engaged on this fire
and Assistant Forester G. J. Buck
has hopes Of controlling the fire. Re-
norts from the fire state that the
business men and others from Ash
land who are fighting this fire are
exhausted from continuous work and
that n II were not for the soldiers
and the fresh men sent Monday from
Medford, but little progress would
be made tonight

conditions along the coast say that
the new branch of the Southern Pa
cific will be most important to Port
land from commercial point Of
view, for 1t will bring within reach
a large territory now served with
difficulty by San Francisco. Occa-
sional steamers ply between the Bay
city and Crescent City, but aside
from that the immense country lies
entirely isolated.
A coast line extends north as far
as Trinidad, a few miles north OF
Eureka, the most prominent city
along the northern California coast.
In Josephine county the line will
be of immense benefit to the mining
districts. which have been develop
ing slowly because of their inaccessi.
bility. But with a railroad through
the very heart of the district rapid
development is bound to follow, and
1t is believed that the company looks
for a large share Of traffic from
these mining properties.
Curry County Neglected.
Curry county is perhaps the most
neglected section of the state for
even today, though one OF the rich
est In point OF natural resources TO
the area, for 1t has not a mile nor
connection by water with the outside
world, except an occasional visit by
one of the small gasoline sloops that
ply along the coast.
THE towns OF Goldbeach and
Wedderburn at the mouth OF Rogue
river have been buying In the Port
land market off and on for the past
several years, but only when this
was made possible through the de,
parture for Portland by one OF the
little sloops operated in connection
with the Hume cannery interests.
But an idea OF the service furnished
by these sloops may be gained from
the fact that sometimes they would
make the round trip in six weeks,
while next trip II would perhaps
take twice as long, the time depend

The Three Golden Apples
How Hercules Went After Them and Met the Giant Atlas
Holding Up the Sky His Shoulders

Did you ever hear Of the golden
apples that grew In the garden Of
the Hesperides7 All, they would
bring a great price nowadays. but
probably there isn't a single apple
tree like that In the whole world
today. Many adventurous youths
used to seek them. and few ever
returned. for the apples we're

they finally told him how to seek

turned himself into a stag, and then
into a sea bird and then into a dog
