A BIG IRRIGATION
COMPANY FORMED

A business deal, said to cover ST.
100000 in power and dam sites and
having for Its object the irrigation of
$4,000 acres OF land in this district
and $4,000 acres in the Merlin dis
trict, was brought to close In this

" organized by A. M. Crawford, of
Salem; P. A. Williams and several
other associates. A. M. Crawford has
been here all week attending to the

Since Saturday 40 instruments
have been filed with the county clerk
for the purpose OF making certain the

Part Of the newly acquired pos.
sessions consist OF the power site
known as He'll Gate, situated 12
miles below Grants Pass on Rogue
river, and which was lately owned
by w. B. Sherman.
The construction Of a dam at this
noirt 100 feet high is limited, which

This power site consists OF about 20C
acres, and follows the river one and

three-fourths mile on the other. Al
this point the company will begin

Instruments have been signed
whereby the company acquired the
dam and power site at Savage Rapids
six miles above Grants Pass. This Is
considered a feasible point for a
gravity system OF irrigation along
Rogue river.
A dam across Rogue river at Hell
Gate will cause the water to back up
Jump-off-Joe creek within a mile
and half OF Merlin, thus enabling
the company to install pumps in the
immediate vicinity and irrigate that
territory.

GALICE DISTRICT
HAS RICH MINES
Display Of Ore from Oriole Is Sent
to Portland as Permanent
Exhibit.

ExhibIt.
A splendid display Of ore has been
sent to the Portland Chamber Of
Commerce for exhibition, to show
the resources of the Galice district
In Josephine county. The samples
were taken April 16 by well known
men who visited the mines for the
purpose of gathering representative
display.
Much Of the ore bears gold In lib
eral quantities, making 1t valuable
in district where cheap transporta-
tion has been denied From the ORR
ole mine samples OF rich quartz were
taken. Not much has been said about
this mine, but 1t has been developed
rapidly during the past year.
Large Veins Of Quartz.
The Oriole ledge is an immense
true contact fissure vein filled In
with mineralized quartz, affording an
immense body of low grade ore as
saying about $25 per ton, while the
high grade values run up tremend-
ousy. Car lot shipments to the
smelter give net returns from $1S5
to 1924 per ton, while recent assays
in the high grade have shown values
of $6SS to 1856 per ton.
The Oriole is no longer a prospect.
improvements have been taking
place rapidly of late. Three tunnels
are well into the ore body. No. l
tunnel Is In 80 feet, No. 2 is In over
600 feet, No. 3 is In about 500 feet
and No. Is well started.
A cross-cut in tunnel No. OF over
40 feet from the hanging wall, and
through solid low grade ore has not
yet reached the foot wall.
A cross-cut in No. 3 tunnel over
100 feet from the hanging wall has
not exposed the foot wall, and a test
Of So feet of that distance has been
made which shows values OF $23 per
ton, exclusive OF the high grade vein
which has given test Of $7S5 per
ton. At point so feet from the hang
ing wall second vein of high grade
ore was struck which Is three feet
in width and gives test Of $6SS per
ton, and the foot wall not reached
yet. These facts are declared by
mining men to be most remarkable,
as 10 values and size OF ledge.

necessarily consume some time. The
second reading was not listened to
attentively by the councilmen.
Some communications were read.
The mayor, city attorney and audit

The council decided to extend the

will be added to the Improvement

ARIZONA is KICKING
ON FREIGHT RATES
Complaints Flied Against n Number of
Railroads for Overcharges on
Freight.

Tombstone, AriZ., Sept. 24.-Having
attended a meeting of the Arizona Rail
way commission to discuss complaints
which have been filed with the inter
state commerce commission, and others
which are about to be filed, w. P. Nc
Nair, chairman of the territorial railway
organization returned today from Phoe-
NIX to his nome in Douglas.
Unjust, unreasonable, and excessive
rates are alleged to be charged from
eastern points to Clifton in a complaint
which has just been filed by the rail-
way commission with une Interstate
commerce commission against the Santa
Fe railroad, the Ell Paso & Southwest
ern, the Lordsburg & Hachita, and the
Arizona & New Mexico railroad COM
panies.
The complaint follows a statement
laid before the territorial commission
by the Becker Franz company of Cliff
ton. alleging that the through rate
charged by the railroads on flour and
meal from Kingsley, Kans., to Clifton,
was higher than the combined local
rates between those points.
The commission took the matter up
with the carriers, but was unable to Sc
cure a proper adjustment of the rate,
and the filing of the complaint followed.

MANY PASSES ON
TEXAS RAILROADS
Number Issued to Employees
Last Year TOtaled 49,
600: Bill TO Reduce

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 24.-AI-
though the Texas anti-pass law prohib-
its the issuance of free passes to any
person otner than bona fide employees
OF the road under salary, yet the annual
reports of the Texas railroads show
that even under this law an enormous
number of passes are issued, and thou
sands upon thousands of miles ridden
by the holders of these passes. There
were total of 1900 passes issued
and upon these the holders rode in
round numbers IFS, 200, 900 miles. For
this enormous extra mileage the citi-
Zens of Texas who did not ride on
passes had to pay in the way of passen-
ge rfareS or increased freight rates.
The Galveston, Harrisburg & San An
tonic railroad issued more than any
other road. 1t is part of the Southern
Pacific system. On that road 67.169
passes were issued and the holders
rode 17,452, 979 miles
The Missouri Kansas &, Texas issued
5000 passes upon which the holders
rode 15,57S,546 miles
The Texas & Pacific issued 6O,233,
upon which the holders rode 14.6O0,542
miles.
The Houston & Texas Central, also
a Southern Pacific line, issued 4O.42S
passes, upon which the holders rode
S.1S3.9S3 miles.
The smaller roads issued from 16
passes up TO $4,000 and the mileage
ranged from AS to 11,OOO, 600 miles.
There will probably be a bill intro
duced at the next session of the legis-
lature providing for q further reduction
of the number of passes issued

TRUCE DECLARED BY
THE G.. Fl. CARMEN
However, No Definite Settle
ment of Disagreement Is
Yet in SIGHT.


An armed truce is phrase that
properly terms the present relation be-
tween the G. H. & S. A and other Har-
rima1 lines in Texas, and the railway
carmen. While every effort is bein &
made to effect an agreement and both
sides are showing consideration, their
relations are strained, and pending an
adjustment both sides are strengthen
ing their position.
1t is claimed by the carmen that their
organization, the Brotherhood OF Rail
way Carmen, is 80 percent stronger
than when the trouble first broke out.
NJ. F. Ryan, president of the brother
hood, is at present at New Orleans and
will go to Algiers, both important
points on the Southern Pacific lines,
having gone there in response to a let
ter saying that 200 men at the shops
there wished to organize a lodge.
The carmen at San Antonio have al
so notified the brotherhood officers
that they wish to organize. It is said
that men are being sent out to all
points on the line from FL Paso to New
Orleans and should the agreement fail
the strike would be simultaneous all
along the line. The road and the car
men are proceeding with extreme eau
ton, realizing that it is a time for
GOODNESS and sound Judgment, and
strike Will be the last resort The Ell
Paso organization has been gaining re-
crults steadily since the first indica-
tiOn of trouble.
The section of the rules desired by
the carmen, which is being held In
abeyance until further conferences is
said to relate to frievapces and senior
1ty Officers of the carmen say that if
proposition is not agreed to this
week negotiations will be called off.

RIPLEY DENIES CHARGES
MADE BY SENATOR CUMMINS

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 24-E. P. Rip
ley, president of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad, has given out
statement in answer to the recent
charges Of senator Cummins at Pea
body, Kan, that the railroads of the
country had increased their capital
$4,000, OO0, 900 without anything to show
for it, The statement says:
while 1 have not been able to iden-
tify the particular 10 years the senator
had in mind, it is undoubtedly true
that between 1898 and 1908, the rail-
roads of the country added more than
$500, 600, 000 to their capitalization and
it is surely untrue that it was done
without the investment OF independ-
ent capital"
