GRAVE CREEK WATER
FOR GRANTS PASS

Grants Pass, Oct, 23.-That the
Grave Creek water proposition is a
feasible one, is the report made by
Engineers Hobson and Hall, who re-
Gently made investigation Of the
sources Of the water supply, and the
engineering features involved in
bringing it to Grants Pass.
The engineers decided that a point
on Grave Greek in SECTION of town
ship g. in Jackson county offered
the most available site for damming
the creek, and that the drainage area
lies within that portion of the Rogue
mountains along the divide between
that stream and the headwaters Of
tributaries if the South Umpqua. The
elevation of the water shed is from
$500 to 5000 feet above the sea level,
where the precipitation is the maxi
mum for the coast district
The plan advanced includes the con-
struction Of the dam, the building of
ditch and pipe lines, or irrigation
canals, and subsequently Of the devol-
opment Of electricity for light and
power.

point to which the ticket Is bought and
at a cost of 50 cents for valuation,
1T is entirely for the benefit Of the
railroad companies says the writer,
"and I do not believe It should be toll

ct, the holder must hunt up the rail-
road office in Chicago, and 90 to the
trouble OF signing certain slips and
forms, and, in addition, pay a sum Of
so cents, before he is able to take ad-
vantage Of his ticket
The railroad commissioners state
that the matter is ont Of the jurlsdic-
tion of their office, since It is an inter-
state question, but that the office will

It had gained con. siderable headway when discovered hy The daughter, Miss Helen Ham mond. Largely through her efforts the horses, several in number, were c5tren out safely as well as the car rfages. There was a large quantity r hay in the barn, MT. Hammond hay ing just finished getting it in, and this was destroyed with the building
 Miss Helen called the telephone ex- change at Wfllfmantic and asked that raighbors near them be informed of inc fire and it was but a short time rntiI the residents of the vicinity be- gan to arrive, many of them coming in their automobiles. But there was, of course, no facilities for fighting blaze of this dimension and they had 10 watch the barn burn, and see suarks carried across the road to the dwelling house. Everything was in t4nsely dry and despite all efforts it vas not long until the house had caught in two or three places.

LOVE STORY OF ARcHDUKE
Ferdinand Charles Louis of Bavaria, Welded to Rosa Czuber, Enjoy
 Ing Peaceful Eeile-

The Archduke Ferdinand Charles Louis ot Austria, scratched from the Almanach G tha. scratched from the army, deprived of all his titles. ranks and orders. is peacefully enjoying per feet love as an exile. He is nov known NJ. Ferdinand Berg. and is painting on the borders of Lake Lugano
 His fault was a gracious one. for to marry morganatically has become almost habit in the Hapsbourg fam fly. But this fault was aggravated by the fact that the marriage was cele- breted without imperial authorization. His elder broth, the heir to the throne, and the ducheresse of Hohenberg, who were likewise separated by a great difference in station. were more adroit, and had taken into their play Madame Schrab. the mistress of Francis Jo- seph.
 Madame Ferdinand Berg. nee Rosa Czuber, has nothing with which to re- proach herself for having made con quest of the archduke in an oficial reception at PiaSye. The archduke had immediate demanded her hand. but the severe Dr. Csuber made him wait i've years
 It is only question now of ob- taining the pardon of the emperor Francis Joseph. The archduchesse Annonciade is employed to do this, but 1t Is feared all her efforts will TO main u7fruitful If she can not fra move the excellent Madame Schrab- Le cri de Paris.

BROUGHT DOWN TWO VICTIMS
But the Deer Hunter Got Surprise of His Life When He Exam
 ined Them.

One of the best hunting stories of the season comes from northern Wis consin, where a prominent resident of Phillips, accompanied by a friend, slipped out of town one evening two days in advance of the legal opening day of the season for killing deer. His object was to hunt deer at night by the air of a strong reflector dark lantern. He succeeded in a way far beyond his most optimistic hopes in killing something, but his overwhelm- ing surprise on first viewing the game" may be better imagined than written, and his language was horrid.
 He drove his own team of horses. valued at $500, and some distance from town he turned into an aban- doned logging road. traversing 1t for team and pruw1ed about in the woods for half an hour with his light
 Suddenly fe heard a snort, and tho light revealed a pair of glaring eyes from some animal a short distance away. Tn his excitement he handed the light to his friend and banged at the eyes. Down tumbfed the animal, and instantly there was commotion in the same spot. and the light re- vea1ed another pair of giaring eyes. The hunter quickly fired and the sec ond animal dropped.
 The hunters rushed forward with their light, and to their dismay found that both their horses were shot and killed They had circled about and confronted the team in their ra-l- blings.
