S. P. WILL FIGHT HARD
TO RETAIN ITS LANDS

PORTLAND, Sept. 6.-The answer
just filed by the Southern Pacific to
the federal governments suit for the
recovery of 2,273.oO0 acres of land
in southern Oregon, on the grounds
that the company has no right to the
lands because it violated provisions
of the grant, indicates that the rail-
road will put up strong fight to
retain possession on the assertion
that the government accepted taxes
on the unsold portions of the tracts
and for forty years failed to protest
the patenting Of the lands In question.
The lands included in the grant are
valued at approximately s70,O00,O00.
The government will maintain that
the railroad forfeited all of its
agreements when the railroad sold
the lands In lots of more than 16O
acres and for more than $2.5O an
acre.

ON THE CONTRARY, 1T ACTS AS
SANITARY AID.
MANY FL0ATERS TAKEN
Dead Ones From Above Land Against
the Pickets and Are Lifted
From Stream.

A visit Saturday to the govern
ment's fish rack, located at the head
OF the rifle near the city limits to the
east. demonstrated to three Grants
Pass residents and visitor that
the rack is proving splendid factor
In saving the city's water supply from
much Of the pollution which neces-
sarily would be the case had the
rack not been constructed. Visiting
the work yesterday In w. B, Sher-
mans automobile were Mr.. Sherman,
Alfred r. Champlin, a capitalist OF
Newton, Kansas, G. G. Coutant and
the city editor OF The Courier.
e. A. Howell, who is In charge of
the work with crew OF seven men
and team, keeps the river clear OF
dead fish. Big floaters Weighing as
high as 35 pounds are drifting down
the stream and landing against the
rack. These are impaled on q sharp
tooth rake, taken out of the water
and cast into pit six feet deep,
where lime will be used to destroy
the carcasses. The rack Is built
across the river from bank to bank
In shallow and clear water, hence nc
fish can land against the picket
structure without being In bold view
One feature which disturbed the
people here was the fact that bloot
! from the fish being butchered FOL
! their eggs would pollute the watel
even II the floaters from above were
taken out. Mr.. Howell will, how
ever, have the fish butchered on
platform In the stream to which VII
he attached trough, Thf blood vii
run into the trough, from there int
bucket and then carried to th'
bank and cast out, to sink into th
: earth.
Under present conditions, witt
many dead fish floating down stream
, the rack is proving OF vast benefi
for water consumers OF Grants Pass
Were the rack not across the river
q these hundreds Of dead fish would D

BIG CASTING RECEIVED
FOR FRUITDALE PUMP

The Chicago-Rogue River company
has received by express from the By
ron Jackson people at San Francisco
an LOO pound casting for the big
four step pump which Is to supply
the Fruitdale ditch with water. The
original fourth section of the pump
was cracked after one hours service
This was replaced by q casting which
lasted six hours and cracked in the
same place as the first. Changes in
design calculated to give greater
strength at the pressure point, have
been made and 1t is hoped that no
further trouble will be experienced.
1t is probable that the pump will be
in working order tomorrow.
This pump has a lifting power Of
S65 feet and will be required to
pump water SS5 feet into the Fruit
dale ditch. 1t is guaranteed to stand
a strain of 175 pounds to the square
inch, while an actual pressure Of las
pounds will be required.
Efforts are again being made to
locate the monster 5-step pump which
was carried out by the flood which
took away portion of the dam, and
Manager Sanders feels confident thai
they will be able to locate the pumT
very shortly.

From Tuesdays Daily.
On a slab at Halls undertaking
parlors, still in death, reclines the
mortal remains of Miss Mabel Croi-
sant,-for the past four years office
assistant to Doctors Loughridge and
Findley, esteemed and respected by
all who knew her,-who, in life, had
administered anaesthetics to many
patients to alleviate suffering, her
self now the victim of the same pre-
paration with which she had so many
times minimized pain for others.
Miss Croisant has been having dem
tai work done by DR.. H. c. Dixon
and last week had tooth extracted,
taking soemnoform as an anaesthet-
ic. She had an appointment with the
dentist for ! o'clock this afternoon
and when she arrived at the office
was in good spirits and joked with
the doctor. She had felt somewhat
nervous and asked DR.. 'Loughridge TO
be at the office with her and when
he arrived she went to the chair and
the anaesthetic was administered in
the usual manner In a few moments
DR.. Loughridge discovered that some
thing was wrong and restorative'
were Immediately applied but to M
avail. Both doctors labored faithful
ly but we're unable to bring her bacl
to consciousness. DR.. Loughridg'
states that death may have beer
caused either by weakness due t
fatty heart or from the shock. Thi
anaesthetic has been In constant us'
for a number of years and the fatal
tiles throughout the whole United
States will not number more thai
half dozen.
Mabel Croisant was 2S years OF ag
and has been a resident of Grant
Pass for Ia years and for the pas
six has been in the employ OF Di
Findley and DR.. Loughridge as offie
girl and assistant. She was exception
anly capable person for that offic
and assisted DR.. Findley in hundred
OF operations, and it is probable, az
cording to the statement by Dl
Loughridge, that she has administer
ed soemoform a thousand or NOR
time during her service.
She leaves a father, residing
