no microbe can ever get near the skin.

The rev pieces are frozen and the

portion is then covered with solu-

The result is that large seamless

Turf of Periwak Feathers.

On the apex Of the crown worn by
the prince of Wales on special occa-
sions is a curious feather, or rather
tuft of feathers. the top Of which Is
adorned with a gold thread The value
of this feather is estimated at $4,000,
and 1t has the distinction of being the
only one of its kind in human posses
sion. Twenty years passed after the
first hunter sent out to procure the
feather before 1t was attained. and
during that period more than a dozen
hunters had lost their lives IN the
quest

and the extraordinary danger incurred
In procuring II was due to the fact
that the periwak, for some unknown
reason. Is TO be found only in dense

Have Taken Look at Company Pro-
prietors and Visited Many
Sections.

In two automobiles a lively par
ty of Chicago Rogue River COM
pany officials and several Grants
Pass residents today saw the coun,
try tributary to Grants Pass, the ter
ritory which Is to be irrigated from
the big Golden Drift dam. The party
was in charge of Geo. E. Sanders and
George Sorenson, with ]. D. Fry
a guest, and was composed of A. e.
Strock, president; E. M. Atkins, Sec
retary; DR.. e. w. Grosser, director,
and H. D. Irwin, attorney for the
company.
The Chicago visitors Monday saw
the big dam and plant. Today they
toured the valley In an inspection of
all the land to be covered by the two
bitches the company has agreed to
dig, that is the gravity ditch and APP
plegate ditch. In addition to view
ing the land to be covered by these
two bitches the officials were today
taken by Mr.. Sanders to the jerome
Prairie and Merlin country to see
about extensions OF the system to
those two districts.
Wednesday the entire party went
to the Williams creek country, where
Mr.. Sanders showed his associates
the difference between irrigation and
no irrigation. The Williams creek
country Is green and thriving as a
result Of the use Of water over the
land.
Thursday the entire party en-
joyed fishing, near the dam
Friday morning all went to Med
ford for ~ o'clock dinner, guests OF
Attorney Reames, at 8 p. m. they
boarded the train for California
going to Los Angeles, and back to
Chicago September 10.
All Of the Chicago men expressed
themselves as surprised at the mag
nitude of the irrigation project, Deal
ing in figures in Chicago offices was
one thing and looking with their own
eyes over Rogue valley is another
thing, and the "occular demonstra-
tion" brought words OF satisfaction
and pleasure.
Regarding the city they declared
that II was both beautiful and unique
beautiful In its setting In the valley
and unique from the fact that In
whatever direction one, looked the
emerald hills stood In both beauty
and grandeur.
Grants Pass has won much as the
result Of the visit here at this time OF
the Chicago capitalists.

TWO CHARTERS TO Be
SUBMITTED TO CITIZENS

The charters will soon be ready for
the people of Grants Pass, and the
property holders will have a chance
to say which one they want.
Joseph Moss stated this morning
that the committee OF citizens Of
which he is one, which had been nam
ed by Mayor Myers to draw up an In
strument, had gone over the old
charter, amended II In many ways and
this will be submitted. The other In
strument is a charter calling for the
commission form OF government,
Mr.. Moss said
I'VE decided that II was best for
the city that the people have a chance
at both measures, as this will give
them a charter; otherwise, II there
was only one submitted, II might be
turned down and our long summers
work would be for naught
The way the matter now STANDS,
the voters may adopt the commission
charter or the amended charter Both
will be published and the people will
have a chance 10 study each one care
fully"
The two instruments are now In the
hands OF City Attorney Clements Ia
be put in shape when they will again
go back 70 the committee for any
changes thought advisable. Then
they will be published and the people
make their selection.
The committee which drew up th'
two charters Is composed OF Josepl
