GOLD HILL MAN
LOSES BOTH HANDS

GOLD HILL, Jan. 21.--(Spe-
cial. III. p. Randell, miner,
while experimenting with new in
ventlon for making water proof fric-
tlon matches, had both his hands
blown Of in an explosion that oc-
Cured yesterday noon.
Drs. Kelsy, Smith and Finley as
sisted in the amputatlon and al
though Randel lmay lose the sight of
his left eye, the physicians ex-
pressed hope for his recovery.
The explosion set the house afire,
but It was quickly put out by the
neighbors. But his three-year-old
little girl was badly burned about
the face, and although fears were
expressed about her eyesight, she is
in no longer in any danger
Mr.. Randel, who lives in Gold
Hill with his wife and little daugh-
ter, had been for slong time exper-
imenting with combination of chem
icals that was supposed to produce
waterproof friction matches.
Yesterday morning he procured
some powdered red proclaim, sui
phur and chlorate of potash. He
mixed the ingredients in pan, and
proceeded to watch the resulting
phenomena Suddenly he was
blinded by a terrific explosion, and
became horror stricken as he beheld
the shattered remnants Of his hands.
AS Randell is a strong man with an
iron constitution he managed to
Withstand the ordeal bravely, and 1t
is to his vigorous health that the
physicians attribute a speedy recov-
cry.

truth will do you more good than hal
the truth. The whole truth about
Grants Pass and the Rogue River
valley is better than gross exaggera-
tion about many other sections which
are aggresslvely competing for popu-
lation, and disappointing hundreds
who respond to the call.
Every citizen Of Grants Pass
every man, woman and child-should
aid in distributing your literature.
Nearly everyone here originally came
from the East. Everyone should
write regularly to their friends, tell
ing the personal side Of their expert
ences here, and mail the Grants Pass
literature and pay the postage on it,
It would be well IL nominal charge
was made on the literature, so as to
bring to the club some extra much
needed revenue. In every letter go
ing from Grants Pass something
should be said about the Commercial
club work. Stimulate inquiry direct
to the club, so your friends in the
east will get the benefit of all that a
live commercial club can accomplish
in getting them located to their own
advantage.
Send your home papers back east.
The aggregate effectiveness of the
Oregon press upon the population east
of the Rockies cannot be overesti-
mated. 1t gives hundreds picture OF
real life in our progressive Oregon
communities.
Don't let your Commercial club
endorse any scheme to back a private
project with local capital. Let the
club confine itself to telling fatcs
about your city. 1t is Commercial
club, not a political organization
Therefore, let it clear straight Of
petty political controversies. "
'If ever there were any doubt:
about the unity and progressiveness
Of Grants Pass citizens this occasion
dispels them
No city can exhibit such en-.
thusism and be guilty of being a
house divided against itself"
His closing remarks were greeted
by thunderous applause. The meet.
ing came to a close late in the after
noon.

when Mr. c. c. Chapman was in.
troduced the crowd cheered him TO
