THE LIMIT REACH

If report be true, two certain mem
bers of the local police force have
fled the country to escape arrest on
the charge of having committed a
heinous crime. This much is un-
doubtedly true-the charge is made
against them, and they were dis
missed from the city service Monday
morning. This is the second crime
charged against these two men with
in the past few weeks. Both are
under bond to appear before the pres
ent term of court under charge of
conspiracy to commit murder in con-
nection with the Andres Uresti case.
One of these men has been dismissed
from the police force several times
for such offenses as asaulting men
whom he was attempting to arrest,
by beating them over the head with
his pistol. He has been, fined for
gross breaches of the .gskee. COM
mitted while on police da<S. Each
time it was hoped by the Sagter class
of people that the police force would
be purged of this licensed Jrowdy,
but each time, in a short while, tie
disgraced officer would show Ia
again, with badge and pistol-Aa
alleged guardian of the peace whose
many offenses made his presence on
the force an affront to~a respectable
community. y
If the latest charge against him
and his companion can be proven, it
were well for them that they remain
in Mexico.
These are painful and disagreeable
things to relate. But there are times
when people can not ignore or cover
lup such things. This is n of those
times. Brownsville has been long
suffering in enduring the abuses com
mitted by these police officers. But
the limit of endurance has beer
reached. 1t is time that those who
are responsible for the appointment
of such men as guardians Of the
peace-God save the mark-should
understand that Brownsville is grow
ing weary of such a condition.

IN

He stood on the curb with a puzzled
frown,
Scanning old Broadway up and down.
Trusting his neck to the god Of luck,
He dived in front of an auto truck;
Dodging a taxi, and reached the
track,
Where the screech of a siren sent
him back.
He turned to the right with mute
appeal.
And missed by an inch a hanson
wheel.
He turned to the left with wild
alright,
Binding his eyes with an auto light.
Somewhere up in the winter sky
A bird man" let his engine die
And out Of the blue, like a shooting
star,
Dropped to the earth in his erocar
The only thing that was left TO do
Was to pry up a manhole and go on
through.
So, raising the lid in wild despair,
He dropped down in with a fervid
prayer.
He landed below with a painful jar,
Just in front OF a subway car.

COPPER MT. MINES
NEAR WALDO SOLD.

Another of the rich copper mines of
Josephine county has passed into the
hands of California operators. Ches-
ter l.. Proebstel, of Yreka, California,
having just closed a deal with c. f..
Phillips whereby the latter gentleman
transfers to the California people six
claims known as the Copper Noun
tain mining property
These claims adjoin the Waldo
mine, on the East fork of the Illinois
river, in one of the best mineralized
districts of the west, being an exten-
sion of the Waldo lead. Mr.. Proebstel
came here week ago and made a
thorough inspection of the claims, and
Of the developed mines in the same
region, and so good a report did he
take south with him that he was cent
back by return train to close the deal.
Not much development work has been
done on the six claims as yet, but the
new company, under the management
of Mr. Proebstel, will commence de-
yelopment at once. Mr.. Proebstel has
now gone to Spokane, where he will
represent Siskiyou county in the big
mining congress there, and immedi-
ately on his return will come to
Grants Pass to start work on the new
property, and within thirty days will
be uncovering the hidden wealth.
This is only another of the evil
dences that it does not take an expert
long to recognize the values that lie
undeveloped in the Josephine county
hills. Mr. Proebstel is an expert in
his calling, and knows mines, and
that he is becoming interested here,
and is interesting the capital from the
southern state, will mean a great deal
in the future development of our min
eral resources He was the manag-
ing executive officer OF the recently
held mining congress for THE coast
states held at Yreka, and visited
Grants Pass on several occasions
then in arranging for the session, On
these visits he became interested here,
and the 5000 pound exhibit which
was sent to Yreka at the time of the
exhibition proved to his associates
that Josephine possessed real merit
in it's mountains of copper and gold,
and this investment, with develop
ment Of another great property, will
result.

OF JOSEPHINE
COUNTY HAVE CASH.

Tax collections like bank deposits
are a good index to the condition Of
a country and there has never been
"a year when Josephines taxes
showed better than this.
Less than $4,000 Of the 1911
levy of $262,S46.93 still remain un-
paid, there having been issued to
date SIC more tax receipts than on
Ia like date of last year, and the de-
linQuent taxes are likewise much re-
duced over former years. This
points strongly to an improving con-
dition among the individual taxpay-
ers while cash for taxes is easier tn
get than heretofore.
In 1911 the total assessed yalua-
tion of Josephine county was $10,-
5O5,GS6, this including real, per-
sonal and public utilities assess
ments. The levy for state, county
and general purposes outside of the
city of Grants Pass was is mills,
while inside the city a levy of 81
mills was made. the 81 mills includ-
ing the is mills of state, general
and county levy, 10 mills of city
tax, and 9 mills for the school dis
trct This levy produced a total of
$2G2,S46.99 in taxes of which Sher-
iff Smith, who by virtue of his office
is county tax collector, has already
receipted for $242,9S262. In 1910
the levy produced only $22AOS5.S5
During the present year there has
been collected and turned over to
the municipality of Grants Pass a
total Of S261OG.SS, and to school
district No. Z. $25,7945S, the for
mer produced by a city tax levy OF
ten mills and the latter by school
levy of nine mills.
The sheriff's office had issued A.
437 tax receipts up to Saturday night
covering the taxes of 1911. There
was rebated to these taxpayers 49,
.91111, while those who allowed their
payments to hang fire paid in penalty
$2.O75.72.
This showing Of taxes is an excel
lent one, the greater number of tax
payers indicating a cutting mp of the
acreage of the county while the
small number of delinQuents shows
a better condition of finances

MAY CELEBRATE
BOATS ARRIVAL
Commercial Club Favors
Plan to Welcome
the Columbia

To join hands in properly celebrat-
ing the arrival of the steamer Colum-
bia, built at Wilmington, Del, for
the Wilson Bros. company of this
city, is the plan now in the minds of
number of Chamber of Commerce
members.
While the plan is still in its in
fancy, it is believed that with proper
attention, the day can most appro-
priately be observed, and with this
in view businessmen of Aberdeen
will be asked to join in the celebra-
ton.
With the successful festivities mark
ing the completion of the new steel
railroad bridge, fresh in the minds
of Aberdeen and Hoquiam people, it
is the general opinion, that similar
celebration marking just as an i'm
portant event in the history of the
city, may be had with the united
efforts Of Aberdeen residents.
The big steel boat has left Buenos
Ayres, and is expected to reach Alb
erdeen some time during next month.
She is enroute to San Francisco, car
rying a cargo of coal. After dis.
charging she will proceed to Aber-
deem. She Is expected to carry a
large number. of passengers to the
harbor on her maiden trip. The Co.
lumbia has provisions for carrying
rs passengers, and she will be the
first San Francisco Portland packet
to be placed on this run.
