INCENDIARY FIRE Ar TALENT

MEDFORD, Jan. Citizens of
the little town of Talent, just south
of this city, are today searching for
some clew as to the origin of a dis
astrous fire believed to have been of
incendiary origin, which destroyed
the building occupied by the Marion
Tryer hardware store, the c. w.
Wolters' mercantile store, the State
Bank of Talent, j. f. Normans bar
Der shop and John Conways shoe
store.
The fire started shortly after 2
O'Clock Tuesday morning and al
though calls for assistance were sent
to the fire departments of Medford
and Ashland, the local volunteer
brigade at Talent succeeded in get
ting the flames under control before
the apparatus arrived.
The total loss Is placed at between
$4,000 and $4,000, part of which
is covered by insurance.

MAYOR ASKS AID
TO KEEP CITY CLEAN

The city administration is very
anxious to make Grants Pass one of
the cleanest cities on the coast, not
only for sanitary reasons but in Or
der to make a more beautiful home
city, Mayor Myers, in speaking on
the subject this morning said.
we want our city clean and san
itary and the city council is going
to do everything it can to make it So
We are met on every hand with
problems and obstacles which make
it almost impossible for us to ac-
complish that which we have under
taken. There are places in the city
where alleys are not laid out and no
way of extending sewers without NUT
ual consent, and of course such
places are in horrible condition and
are becoming worse, and eventually,
when there is an epidemic. the
causes can be traced to such places.
Many of the people directly inter
ested will not help to solve the prob
lem--there is always some one who
will block the way We want to
work out these problems and we
want you, who are directly inter
ested, to help us clean up the streets
and alleys and keep them clean.
You are all proud of clean CITY, but
there is not day passes that the su-
perintendent of streets does not have
to speak to some one about throwing
out rubbish or leaving rubbish in the
streets or alleys. Now, we are will
ing to do our part and we ask you
to kindly assist"

STATE VS.. HEARN TRIED BE-
FORE JUDGE CALKINS
A VERDICT OF "GUILTY"
This viii BE Test Case and Will
Go to the Highest
Court

The test case, the State versus
Hearn was tried Monday before
Judge Calkins in the circuit court,
and the defendant was found guilty
by the Judge. The Judge sentenced
him to 15 days in jail and $3.50 fine.
The parties agreed to all the facts,
the defendant admitting that he sold
the goods, but contended that the
Home Rule amendment repealed the
local option law, and therefore re-
pealed the punishment of the crime,
Robert Smith, counsel for Hearn,
Immediately took the necessary steps
for taking the case to the supreme
court for appeal, when 1t will be de-
cided once and for all whether or not
the local option law is in force in
the city of Grants Pass.
This will be the first case to go up
to the highest court on this question.
If the decision of the circuit court is
upheld 1t will mean that the people
can not hold elections in cities now
under the operation Of the local OPP
ton law before November, 1911. and
possibly Grants Pass may not be per-
mitted to vote on the question until
November, 1912, because when the
county Is dry as a whole it is pro.
vided that no election can be held in
any part of the county for two years
thereafter, and the local option law
passed in 1910.
If the decision of Judge Calkins
is reversed Grants Pass may license
saloons, but If license ! should be
granted before the supreme court
acts on it, every licensee will be sub.
ject to arrest, for such license will
not protect the saloon men.
The liquor cases would, ordinarily
have come up in April, but the test
case was rushed in order to get 8
two months start.
Attorney Smiths brief will be fileC
in few days, and in all probability
a final decision will be made early II

A rate of one and one-third for
the round trip has been granted by
the railroads, but It is necessary for
delegates to secure a certificate from
the agent at the time Of purchasing
ticket and bring It to the convention
to be signed by the state secretary.
Free entertainment, consisting of
room and breakfast will be provided
for all delegates during the conven-
tion.
Ashland Is one OF the most beau
tiful residence cities in the sttae and
has a reputation for hospitality Sec
ond to none.
Indications are that the conven.
tion will be a great success and all
who possibly can do so should plan
TO attend.
John Rigg, Ashland Ore, is sec.
retary Of the registration committee
and delegates should send names tc
him.

ture which will do more to aid
Grants Pass, than all else in the opin-
ion of many, will be the transporta-
ton to the great caves, These in
themselves, will attract thousands to
the city. AS a tourist attraction
there is nothing that can compare to
these caves. Few people, even in
Grants Pass appreciate the vast i'm
portance of the great natural won
ders. To get people to stop off to Wis
1t these caves, a mountain resort will
be established near these wonders.
An automobile road will be built
from the end of the line to the caves,
distance of about four miles, and
preparations are being made to in
stall electric lights throughout them,
and this will become one of the great
tourist attractions of Southern Ore
gon.
1t has been known for several
months that something was about to
happen in Grants Pass. 1t is well
known the Riggs-Lucas Land COM
pany have been quietly working upon
something, just what it was they re-
fused to make public and they have
had many people guessing as to what
was in the air. 1t is known that their
offices have been recently remodeed
and rearranged and preparations
made for the handling of large vol
ume Of business.

OREGON TRUNK TO
BUILD SOUTHWARK

Louis l.. Hill, president of thu
Great Northern railway, with other
officials of the line, is in Portland
and to an Oregonian reporter Mr..
Hill announced that he he's arranged
to take another trip into the interior
of the state in the coming spring or
summer.
Although he did not venture to
speak authoritatively on the future
construction work that may be done
on the Oregon trunk south of Bend,
Ore, Mr.. Hill said that that portion
of the state eventually will have to
be developed
Mr.. Stevens has charge of the
work in this country" he said "and ]
don't know what his plans are. A
number Of routes have been surveyed
south of Bend, however. One OF
these provides, however, for a term
mus at Medford. That line will have
to be built. Another leads to Klam.
ath Falls. 1t is probable that an ex-
tension will reach that place too, in
a short time.
But whe nit comes to entering
California | believe that our system
will draw the line. We expect to de-
velop Oregon, but don't see any rea-
son why we should go to California. ."
Mr.. Hill Is even more enthusias-
tic over the development OF this state
than is his father. He says the peo-
pie Of Oregon are not doing enough
to exploit their wonderful advan.
tages. He wants the legislature TO
make an appropriation for advertls
ing purposes and with that end lu
view will visit Salem Monday, and
olympia later IN the week. He points

LOCAL AUTO CLUB
JOINS ASSOCIATION

John T. Kirkup, secretary of the
State Auto association, was in this
city yesterday for the purpose Of en-
listing the cooperation of local
auto owners in the fight for good
state roads.
Mr.. Kirkup succeeded in affiliat-
ing the Grants Pass Auto club and in
addition he secured the names of a
number Of other auto owners. Be-
fore he left the city for Medford he
secured about 35 names, and other
applications will follow.
II. C.>Kinney, Of this city, Is vice
president OF the state association
for Josephine county, and he will APP
point a committee OF five men in
this county who will act in the in
terests Of the state association The
committee will put up sign posts In
dlcate distances and directions, and
In general try to facilitate the con-
venlences OF auto owners.
Although the association is but a
year old It has accomplished a great
deal for the good road movement
and the campaign of Mr.. Kirkur
throughout the state will do much
toward stirring mp the necessary
enthusiasm IN the various cities and
towns OF Oregon.
