tine contract for the erection of the
Frontenac Consolidated mill, put a
force Of 10 men to work during the
past week, getting the ground in
readiness for the foundation. The
force of men will be increased as fas
- they can be worked to advantage,
as the mill is to be completed by
the Is of December.
Dan Mckay and associates are con.
templating starting work on the Ma.
tioral, up Spring street. A road up
to the property is being repaired
this week and IL It is finally decided
to operate, It will be possible to haul
up the. machinery and boiler. The
shaft is down $50 feet and the water
is up between the 200 and 30O-foot
point. The National was last worked
about eight years ago by H. P. Lowe.
Large bodies Of ore, though Of low
grade, exist in the mine, and on min
ing this several who have worked
the National made good money.

ACTING FOR BEST INTEREST OF CITY

That was handsome recognition Of public services
rendered when more than hundred citizens comnos1
of all shades of political opinions met and without G
senting voice nominated j. L. Myers for mayor hi,
action was based on the important service rendered m
the recipient of the high honors while serving as chairman
of the committee on streets during the period of putin,
down the bitulithic pavement and the doing of general
street and alley work 1t indeed just tribute o
faithful municipal official and worthy of the broad
minded men who assembled at the court house that even
ing.
In the selection of candidate to fill the responsible
position of mayor it is all important to choose one vho
thoroughly understands the work in hand 1t is the g
eral impression that Mr. Meyers is of the best eq
ped men for this service have in the city to 90 forward
with the work we will have in hand another season and
the practical taxpayers who assembled at the court house
on Tuesday night well understood these things and 50
one man they determined to act in unison and to know
nothing but the good of the municipality This is why
they ask that every good citizen vote at the polls for this
candidate. There certainly wisdom in the action
taken and the result will be beneficial along the lines
prosperity which all anxious shall continue with
us in the future as in the past.

HAVE A SANE CITY ELECTION

December the fifth will be one of the most important
days in the history of Grants Pass for on that day Will
occur an election which will determine whether our city
will 60 forward on it's splendid career OF developing a
strong municipality worthy of best efforts or whether
we shall have acona strife and chickering's to interfere
with that prosperity which today doing so much for US
1t is to be hoped will choose the part Of wisdom
and unite in electing to office who have the ability
the honesty and the desire to faithfully serve the people
of Grants Pass in all the ways which will make for us
prosperous community.
Grants Pass has made splendid progress this year and
if it's citizens will determine to work hand in hand for
the good of the whole town and know north, SOUTH
wet dry will add another year of real prosperity
to history. We must be broad enough to work for
both sides of the railroad and wise enough to know that
prohibition and ant-prohibiton must cut figure in
this election.
The officials to elect will be called upon to pro-
vide for the city sanitary regulations construct sewers
grade and pave streets and alleys and do all the work in
cdent to the progress of municipality which has natur
ally before it prosperous future. Side issues must not
interfere with the important work chosen officers will
have in hand IF enter upon this election with
ideas to the demands which will be made upon the
mayor and council there will be difficulty in choosing
just the who needed in various positions but
allow prejudice to come between and our
real duty in the case will be great mistake and that
will bring no end of trouble.

OUR WEAK REGISTRATION SYSTEM

The Medford Daily Sun makes some very Just critic
sns ON the Oregon registration law which are both timely
and just 1t says
1.-THE registration law of Oregon is contradiction and
farce Either it is right for citizens to register set
number of days before election or they should not AS it
is the citizen who is bona de registers and goes through
the torotes Of the law but the one over whose head
there always doubt about his right to vote bobs up at
the last minute and by obtaining the signatures of six
citizens lnherts all the benefits that the former had bv
being here and evdencng his citizenship and right TO vote
by registering
The effect is that men who have no right to vote and
se not bona fde citizens of Oregon are shipped in here
neter Sketer when something is at stake and voted bv
securing the six signatures and being sworn in " y
The Sun goes on some length to discuss this question
but we only care to take up the above paragraphs at this
time and this gives us the opportunity to se qt Grants

OREGON AT TWO GREAT APPLE SHOWS

Oregon people everywhere have occasion to rejoice
over the second victory at the National Apple show at
Spokane The Rogue river valley which secured the great
prize last year and the title of king will have OPP
portunty to rejoice that another famous apple section
Hood River in this state is the victor The people of this
valley are broad enough to extend congratulations to
Hood River this occasion Next year there will be
other opportunity and then will send best Sptzen
bergs and Newtowns in carload lots and enter into friend
y competition with all We have the confidence
to believe that fruit has the COLOR the flavor and quail
ity to make winning at any fair where it is exhibited
But be it remembered that the Rogue river valley is
not without honor this year. for Newtowns took
the first prize at the big Canadian Apple show at Van
couver and also took the second prize Spokane These
were from Ashland We lost the first prize OF the great
National Apple show on the pack and not the quality
of the fruit Hood River growers understand the import
Of these things and know how to make the most of
them

BY ALL MEANS A FAIR OF OUR OWN

The proposition of the Grants Pass Commercial club
to make Josephine county fair district of itself meets
with general approval This movement does not mean
in an offensive sense secession from our sister county on
the SOUTH but will afford them opportunity to likewise
have fair of their own The rapid development of the
Rogue river valley demands another fair and the success
achieved by Josephine county this year warrants us in ask
ing the legislature to give us district all our own Ex
mbons such as that held in Grants Pass from October
fifth to the seventh are great aids in the development of
the resources of country If Grants Pass can have the
opportunity of holding another fair in the fall of 1911 it
will attract wide attention among all classes in the county,
as well as that other important class who are looking for
homes in the west BY all means let have an annual ex-
hbt OF our products and we can have, if members of
the legislature will take the matter in hand slpnortod
as they will be- by unanimous desire on the part of the
people of the county.

SUIT FOR DIVORCE.

Alleging three desertions and 9TH
er things, A. e. Sickler has filed a
suit for divorce against Miriam
Eleanor Sickler. He also asks for
the custody of Gerald, the seven
year-old son of the union.
The complaint recites that the
couple was married in California in
December, 1901. The first deser-
tion occurred five years ago and
lasted for four months, when the de-
fendant was persuaded to return,
says the complaint.
The second desertion happened
about two years ago, but the COM
plant fails to tell how long it was
before the plaintiff succeeded in
bringing back his wandering better
half.
The third desertion began three
months ago, Since that time, the
plaintiff AYERS, he has made several
trips to Portland in an endeavor to
bring back his wife and start again
the making of a home.
However, all these efforts have
failed, the document goes on to say,
and she has steadfastly refused to
listen to any such proposals. Among
the other allegations are that the de-
fendant has taken up quarters at the
Brooklyn hotel in Portland, where
she entertains men Of short acquaint-
ance; that her gentlemen callers
have on several occasions attempt
ed to make Gerald drink intoxicating
liquors; that the defendant often
leaves the child alone and that when
she was "moodish' she has whipped
severely the boy as often as twice
a day,
c. II. Clements is attorney for the
plaintiff.

STARS SIGNALS FOR TREES
Night Blooming Tree of Persia Fills
Air With Perfume Resembling
That of Evening Primrose.

In far-off Persia are to be found
two remarkable Towering trees. One
of these trees is sometimes called the
sorrowful tree, doubtless because it
blooms only at night.
AS the first star appears in the
sky the first bud opens on the won
derful tree. AS the stars increase
in number and shine out brilliantly
the buds open more rapidly until the
tree is covered with the delicate
bloom, and appears like one vast
white flower. The bloom is quite
fragrant, and the odor resembles the
perfume of the evening primrose.
AS the stars begin to dim as the
dawn approaches the flowers begin
to fade, and by the time the sun has
| risen not a bloom can be found on
the tree.
Beneath the strange tree there is
to be found a white powder that COW
ers the earth like so much snow
This powder dries up and blows
away in the breeze of the day.
During the hours of daylight the
tree appears to be declining, or with
ering as if it had been injured in
some manner; but in fact, it is only
Iregaining its forces preparatory to
putting forth new bloom on the fol-
lowing night. Its period of blooming
continues for some days, but does not
last as long as the bloom on the
other tree, in the same locality,
which is in every WaV similar tO tho
Inight-blooming tree, except that it
| blooms only in daylight and the
flowers are not quite so beautiful.
The two trees are held in high es-
TEEN by the natives of that country,
and are looked upon as a curiosity
by florists throughout the world.
When cut down these trees send
Iup sprouts from the roots that will
mature into a Towering tree in a
livery short time.

1T is SIMPLY HE'LL.
What the White Man Is Up Against
on the West Coast of Africa.

On the west coast of Africa scor-
pions and snakes are everywhere-in
ones shoes, in ones bed, writes a
visitor to that far-off land. At Lam
berene I was writing some letters to
send by native canoe to the coast to
catch the European steamer. I was
seated on the veranda The day was
unusually beautiful, the vegetation
smiling and fresh after the rain.
Overhead was a Towering frangi-
plane tree, its blossoms beautiful
and heavy it'll perfume. Before me
stretched the Ogowe, winding like a
white river between palm-clothed
hills. Natives passed in their dug
out canoes, their paddles hardly dis
turbing the surface of the water.
All was peaceful, delightful, verita-
BILE Garden of Eden. Suddenly some
thing snapped over my head. | was
startled, and pushed back my chair.
On the ground crawling at my feet
was a cobra, one of the most venom
Gus snakes in the world. There is
no antidote for it's sting. My servant
had seen the snake swing itself from
the Towering tree and poise it's body
ready to spring He quickly leaped
for the branch of the tree on which
the snake was poised and snapped
it off. The snake was thrown VIC
lentiy to the ground and soon dis
patched.
Another time one of my paddlers
was pushing my canoe out from the
bank. Suddenly he disappeared.
When he reappeared he was minus
his leg from his knee down. A croc-
odile had bitten it off.
1t is an ordinary occurrence for
a leopard to steal native child from
camp fire around which many
adults are smoking and talking.
Space does not permit mention of
| all the terrors in Africa, nor are the
biggest terrors the greatest ones.
Wild animals can be guarded against.
But there is no escape from insects
and vermin. They spell just plain
hell for the white man Just to men
ton one of these pests! Reaches,
unlike jackals, can fly, and they are
every bit as ravenous as jackals.
They eat ones clothing, and devour
even cOrkS of bottles.
