Returning from 40-mile tour Wis

GUS and good-natured, who accord

mayor OF Grants Pass In the city cleo
tion yesterday by a vote of three In
approximately 900 registered names,
said to The Courier today that he had
no complaint to make and, as far as
his personal wishes were concerned
had not single regret.
Asked II he desired a contest, the
popular physician asserted emphatic

host of friends were to make a con-

would be, DR.. Smith declared that II

laws Of the city and state, so far as
tthey pertain to the municipality. will
be enforced so far as / have any au-
thority.
There are several vital things for
! the people to consider in this city In
addition to the foregoing subject.
One is the water question as II az
fects the public health. intend to
use all my efforts and do all can
to see that the people are supplied
with water for domestic purposes
that they can use without danger.
The water will be made absolutely
pure.
II think the city should take up
the question OF adjustment OF water
and light and II entitled to It they
should get cheaper rates; and also
cut on water meter rents. The light
meter rents have already gone by
the board.
1T is my belief that the cost OF
paving in this city is more than II
should be. The paving material is
supplied here and the company which
puts II down had no investment what-
ever in plant or machinery here,
and II is we'll known that paving
companies profit in some localities
is half OF the cost OF paving. be-
lleve that by having the paving d1ne
by the city under competent engi-
neer and the actual cost assessed
against the property owner, that a
large saving cen be made"

from tuesdays Daily.
The story of the election in. this
city is told In the above table, except
that the proposed commission char
ter was knocked out with rights and
iefts to jaw and 13 amendments
of the proposed fifteen to the old
charter were put to sleep.
The two amendments which escaped
were those making It mandatory on
the part OF the person holding the Of
fice OF auditor and police magistrate
to give bond OF 5000, and the one
increasing the treasurer's salary from
$3.50 to $25 month.
The amendment raising the audi
tors salary from $50 per month to
1900 per year was killed along with
the others. Thus the unusual situa-
tion is presented OF holding the audi
tor to a salary OF $50 a month and
forcing him TO give bond OF 81, 900.
II was predicted today by members
OF the present city administration
that the new council will be compell-
ed TO call a special election to cover
the matter OF salary, as the council
will no longer be able to whip the
devil around the stump.
Regarding the result for mayor,
there was some little rumbling
among the losers that contest
might be inaugurated. as Attorney
Smith had only three plurality. Yet
in many other quarters, the sentiment
was expressed that the verdict" will
be allowed TO stand.
There was much good natured bad
image on the streets this morning
as result OF the vote; also some
words OF heat by disappointed
friends OF some OF the candidates.
This, that and the other fellow was
blamed for a defeat here and a vic
tory there. but as whole the town
took the results good naturedly.
Comment on the oloseness OF the
mayoralty vote was universal.
Mayor-elect Robert @. Smith, made
the following statement 10 The Cour-
Ter:
II appreciate the earnett support
given me by the people Of the city,
and wish 10 assure them that ! do
not consider my victory In any sense

1t happened. The Rogue River
Electric company last night applied
to the city council Of Grants Pass fer
a franchise.
And how long? Why. it demands
the privilege of cinching the people
now living and those to IL burn-ror
Period of so years.
At what rates?
Why, practically the same old
rates that Mr.. Consumer has been
compelled to dig W. in the past and
is digging up now
How do you like it? And in the
language of the average corporation
official, We'll, what are you going
to do about it?"
The manuscript of the proposed
franchise was toted to the council
chamber by local lawyer who Is
zealously working that his employ
ers get the goods. This lawyer did
not make an oratorical address tn
the council. He did his talking on
the side, quietly and informally y
He believes it is a fine thing-for
the corporation.
Did the council grant it last
night? That was the first question
asked by the town when it walked
this morning.
No dear, 1t was not granted.
Will it be granted?
Ask the stars on their courses.
The stars may halt long enough to
tell you-nobody down here on this
spinning earth can answer that ques-
tion with any degree of certainty.
There are those, however, who
openly declare that the council will
not dare grant 1t.
There are others who declare that
the members of the council are toe
patriotic and have. the best interests
of the town too much at heart to
grant such a franchise.
And there are others who believe
that the thing is already creased and
4 will slide through before the next
administration takes up the reins
of government in this town.
We shall see what we shall see.
Section details what the
rates shall be, and 1t composes a
long page Of words and figures set
ting forth the prices per killowat
this. and killowat that, all as clear
to 80 men out of 100 as bucket OF

The paper reads most grae.Jusly
that no more shall be charged than
these rates. Thanks, oh, thanks.

Are the people of the city OF

day Mayor-elect R. G. Smith express

MISCREANTS INTERFERE
WITH FIRE ENGINE TEST

From Thursdays Daily.
The great pile of boxes and rubbish
built up at Sixth and Jackson streets,
on which, to test the chemical ap-
paratus OF the new fire engine, was
set ablaze last night by young mAs-
creants at $40 o'clock, an hour and
half before the time set for the
test. The hose cart had been taken
to the scene earlier In the day. The
vandals dumped the cart into Skunk
creek, over bank s or 10 feet high,
which bent the axle and broke of
the gong
Then at O'Clock some one set
afre an old half burned house at
Second and d streets. A run by the
fire company to this blaze cost the
city $35.
The chemical apparatus OF the new
engine put out both fires in few
seconds.

Forgetting the War.

Governor Foss of Massachusetts
has vetoed a bill appropriating So
500 to aid proposed celebration at
Lowell of the first blood shed by the
Union troops in the War Between
the Sections. The Massachusetts, gov
ernor bases his veto upon the prln-
ciple that the State should lend Its
prestige and substance TO a celebra-
tion of the closing Of hostilities rath-
er than to their beginning. AS the
Columb bia Record says, this is very
advanced position for any one to as
sumo, especially for the governor OF
the State which was rarkest in aboli-
tion sentiment. yet we find that the
position taken by Governor Foss is
not criticized by the Massachusetts
papers, although some Of them point
out that the governtr's ideas, al
though in accord with the public sem
timent of the day, are at variance
with the theory upon which remori-
ais have been erected 70 the minute
men at Lexington and Concord and
the heroes Of Bunker Hill. There Is,
Of course, this difference, that these
memorials perpetuate The story OF a
war for domestic independence
against foreign oppression, whereas
the celebration at Lowell would
commemorate the opening Of what
the Northern people call a "Civil
War" 1--WE are one people again, y
says the Boston Transcript, "and the
only events that we can now logically
commemorate with common enthu-
siasm are those connected with the
close of the strife that threatened
to divide u.s. "It is doubtful IT we
in the South are as fully prepared to
assume this position as our friends
in Massachusetts, seem to be. TO be
sure, there is no proposed celebration
in this State of the semi-centennial
anniversary Of the firing on Fort
Sumter, which now approaches, and
yet we imagine it vii: be very many
years before North Carolina, for in
stance, will abandon her boast that
her soldiers were FIRST at Bethel,
furthest at Gettysburg and last at
Appomattox. The trend Of senti-
ment in the North as eXemplified by
the veto of the Massachusetts gov
ernor and the approval given it by
the Massachusetts newspapers Is,
however, we'll worthy of our consid-
