ORGANIZE JOSEPHINE
COUNTY FIRE PATROL

The outing season has begun and
with II the increased damage from
forest fires. A little care on the
part of each may result in the saw
ing of many dollars to citizens OF
Josephine county.

work to the end that fires be prevent
ed In our county this season as near
as possible.

troll through our agricultural and
farming districts to prevent such
fires as have ragged on all sides OF
Grants Pass In past years. These
men are appointed by the state for
ester, and are paid salary from the
national government. They have au-
thority to arrest without warrant
any person burning slashings, brush,
grass, etc. upon their own property
or that OF another without permit,
which permit will be granted during
this season only under very favor
able circumstances. The state law
will be enforced to the letter, and Ia
case you have slashlngs you Will be
held responsible for any damage re-
sulting In case of fire. A united ef-
fort will be made this fall TO dispose
Of such slashings and clean up OF
brush throughout the farming dis
trlcts is promised.
An arrangement has been made
with the county whereby all road
supervisors are to look after fires In
their respective road districts. These
men will put out Ares at tho ex-
pense OF the county, Previous to this
season they have worked In cooper
alton without pay. They are not to
create other expense than their own
labor will call for Under the state
law such accounts are properly
chargeable to the county, and the as
slstance OF 20 road supervisors Will
be material help toward Are pro-
lection.

JOSEPHINE COUNTY CORPORA
TION MAINTAINED.
NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS
VIII Cooperate With Local Cred
itors for Speedy Settlement
of Claims.

The Josephine County Irrigation
and Power Co. will not be disincor-
porated, as was voted a year ago,
but will remain an active corporation
ready to take up and fulfill its des-
tiny, that Of covering the fertile
acres of Josephine county with water
should the present complications in
irrigation matters unravel to the
point where that action was neces.
sary.
At the annual meeting of the
stockholders OF the company held
Tuesday afternoon that part of the
resolution adopted at the former
meeting, providing for disincorpora
tion, was rescinded, as It was the
opinion that the company should
hold itself intact, ready to cooper
ate in every way with the local cred
itors for speedy settlement Of theil
affairs, and to take every possible
action to settle the troubles of the
irrigation proposition, and secure
the local creditors in their claims.
The meeting was largely attended
and good feeling prevailed. The dis
cussion brought out the universe
sentiment that the one aim of tn,
stockholders of the old company wa
to protect the local creditor and t,
get water in the bitches, but no ac
tion was taken further than to au
thorize the board of directors alon
that line.

Wednesday Councilman Stricker,
president Of the council, called a
special session to deal with the dirt
problem. City Engineer Hobson
said that much OF the dirt could be
used In making bridge fills on places
where Gilbert creek cuts the city
streets. but this would make a long
er haul than the 1000 foot limit At
ter extended discussion, however,
the city engineer was instructed to
dispose Of all dirt possible to the
abutting property, and then have the
surplus hauled to the city property
known as Conklin park, lying be-
tween First and Second streets, and
there used to fll in cuts made by
Gilbert creek. This park lies With

CHEAPER FREIGHT RATE
FOR KLAMATH SPUDS.

The Southern Pacific railroad
company has granted reduction In
rates on potatoes in the Rogue River
valley. The new rates are as fol-
lows:
From klamath Falls to Ashland
S4.00 per ton. Points north Of Ash
land to Medford, s4.25 per ton;
points north of Medford to Grants
Pass $3.50 per ton, Minimum car
load weight Is tons.
The former rate was S. ton
from klamath Falls to all points
north as far as Portland.
There are more potatoes being
grown In the klamath country just
now than ever before. Estimates
show that more than lour times the
amount OF ground Is planted this
year than last year and more than
dozen cars were shipped out last sea-
son.
This reduction comes along the
line OF lower rate recently received
from shipment Of grain from Klam-
ath Falls to the Rogue river coun-
try Heretofore the freight rates
have been almost prohibitlye while
the new rate will make II possible
to ship grain to the Rogue river
mills where It can be worked into
-four as well as the shipment OF po-
tatoes to the markets OF this country
instead OF having to depend exclu-
siyely on the California markets for
klamath county products.
