CONTEMPLATE INSTALLING
A GAS PLANT HERE

A. s. Swain, chief engineer of the
Rogue River Valley Gas company,
with headquarters in Los Angeles,
was in town the early part of this
week to look over the lay of the
land for purposes of putting In
gas plant such as exists at present
in Ashland and Medford, and part
of the way between these two cities.
Mr.. Swain was most favorably
impressed with what he saw. 1t
was a pleasant surprise to him, for
he had been told by persons in
neighboring cities that Grants Pass
had only 5000 inhabitants and that
the people weren't wide-awake
enough to appreciate improvements
1t did not take Mr.. Swain very
long to see the absurdty of such
reports, and he declared that Grants
Pass had better location than Med
ford or Ashland for purposes OF
gas plants, for the grade OF the
streets was most convenient for such
an enterprise.
Mr.. Swain said that definite
answer from the company could be
expected In about 10 days, but that
he was almost certain that the pro-
ject would meet with favor at the
headquarters in Los Angeles.
Chief Engineer Swain could only
remain short time here because OF
an urgent call to his home In Berke-
ley, Cal But II the matter Is ap-
proved at headquarters, he Will be
here in person to superintend the
work. IN a W est.
II this undertaking should go
through 1t is estimated that the cost
for fuel and light would be reduced
one-half. Mr.. Swain claimed that
$3.50 per month for gas would cover
an ordinary family's cooking ex-
pense. Those who are obliged to
use other forms for heating and IL
Elimination realize the meaning OF
such a saving In expense.
1t is estimated that Grants Pass
will take about Is miles of pipe,
and the cost Of construction would
be somewhere In the neighborhood
of 500, 900.
In all probability Grants Pass
would be the center OF supplies for
heating and lighting purposes.
The company tried to erect ware
house in Medford for the purpose of
Keeping stock Of gas heaters and
other gas appliances. But they
found the price for real estate 30
high that they were obliged to give
uD their project.
But Mr.. Swain was OF the opinion
that Grants Pass would be an ideal
site for such warehouse. and as
soon as the work on the gas plant
began, steps would be taken for the
erection OF such a warehouse.

ployed. The vicinity of the dam
wears the appearance OF being a busy
place and fortunately this work
comes at a season when It win be ap-
preciated by those who are seeking
employment. Interested parties in
irrigation will be glad to learn that
the repairs will be completed this
winter and spring. The stockhold-
ers who are furnishing the money to
do the work are showing their con-
fidence In the valley, and for this
they deserve to have their enterprise
appreciated. The water that will be
impounded at this point will have a
commercial value which will make
good the Investment.

Pass were allowed to vote on the
question of license or no license.
Could the results of licensing the IL
quor traffic be confined to the city
alone, and could the burden of taxa
tion resulting from prosecution of
criminals, either those who became
criminals through drunkenness, or
those who were such because of hav-
ing violated the excise laws, rest
wholly upon the taxpayers within the
city limits, there could be no reason
able ground for complaint.
but it is a well established fact
that the large percentage of criminal
prosecutions result directly from the
liquor traffic (and that fact was
strongly emphasized in the report of
the Jackson county grand jury,
consequently, any taxpayer in jose
phine county residing without the
corporate limits of the city of Grants
Pass would have right to contest
the legality of the election on the
ground that he is taxed without rep
resentation.
'"2nd. The home rule amendment
has read the local option law into the
constitution of Oregon, iEasmuch as
it specifically declares that 1t, the
home rule amendment, "shall be sub
ject to the provisions of the local OPP
tion law" To make the case strong
er, and to secure the support of the
friends of local option, the trainers
of the home rule amendment de-
clared that such amendment would
preserve the local option law. If a
law is to be interpreted in accord
ance with the intentions of
the trainers of said law,
then the home rule amendment
is subject, in Josephine county, to
the law the trainers of the amend
ment they invoked. hr
"And to make our contention still
stronger, it is only necessary to cite
the fact that the supporters of home
rule secured the re-submission of the
local option question at the last gen.
eral election; and again the people
voted down the saloon in Josephine
county. Hence, under the provisions
of the local option law, they are pro-
hibited from raising the question
within this county until the next gen.
eral election, or two years hence.
1T would seem, then, that any just
and reasonable Interpretation of the
language of the two laws would null
lify completely the recent election.
At all events the temperance people
should not lie down upon II. The
question is of vital interest to the
whole state"

At the meeting of the board of
trustees Monday night 1t was decided
that the Grants Pass Commercial
club give a banquet and social pro-
gram to the members of the club and
the ladies at date about the mid
die OF January. 1t is the purpose of
the club to make this red letter
day for Grants Pass. The banquet
and program will undoubtedly be
held some afternoon, thus giving the
members from the country a chance
to participate in the affair. 1t is to
be followed by smoker In the even
Ing In the club rooms.
This is to be the social event of
the season at Grants Pass. Every
memberof the Commercial club and
his lady should make preparations
to be present and help to make It the
beginning of greater Grants Pass.
Now, II you want to consider your
self one of the 500 of Grants Pass,
why hand in your membership card.
1t is hoped that the business men
OF Grants Pass will give their hearty
support in making this a red letter
day by closing their places of busi-
ness for half day, thus showing their
loyalty and appreciation.

with a branch in every district Of

districts will be made during the
year by members OF the club and
the invitation to all the ouside dis
tricts of the county to partake OF
the hospitality of the business men
OF Grants Pass will be sent out in
the early fall
1911 comes in with the sunshine
and 1t is within the power of the
Grants Pass Commercial club to
make the entire year one of bright
ness and prosperity. She has the op-
portunity, let's grasp 1t.
