THE MEEKERS ARE
BACK FORM ALBERTA.

Mr.. and Mrs. F. o. Meeker, who
for the past year or more have been
residing in Calgary, Alberta, re-
turned to Grants Pass yesterday to
make their home for the present at
least. Questioned as to his inten-
tions, Mr.. Meeker wished 1t under
stood that his return to Grants Pass
did not signify that he had aban-
doned the Alberta country. He
speaks very enthusiastically of the
northern country as region of
great natural resources and of op-
portunities for industrial exploita-
ton. Calgary is situated in the
midst of great wheat belt that ex-
tends hundreds of miles 1t is sup
piled with its own coal and natural
gas and other conditions combine to
make 1t a prosperous city. 1t now
has a population of about $4,000,
and is as thoroughly modern and up
to-date as any city of the United
States. Contrary TO the common
idea, the winters there are not so
rigorous as in other parts of the Do
minion While the thermometer
sometimes goes down to 80 or 40
below, in the main the winters are
pleasant, free from blizzard and
heavy snowfalls However, Mr..
Meeker admits that as a place of
residence, that region cannot be
compared with the Rogue River val
ley, and they are very glad to be
back again in Grants Pass. While
making his home here, he will retain
his property interests there and will
make an occasional trip north tc
look after them
He is as confident as ever tha
Grants Pass and the Rogue vale!
are TO have an era Of development
and prosperity, but 1t must come
through irrigation and transporta
ton facilities

Believing that all should have

ested persons backed by petition
from some Of the strong supporters
of the movement will go before the
city council at its meeting tomorrow
night and ask the passage Of an or
dinance providing for free public

and for a small appropriation for It's
maintinance according to the Oregon
statutes. They will also ask for the
appointment of board Of library d.

association formed from interested
supporters will raise funds for the
providing of books and periodicals
for the library at its opening and pro
vide new books monthly so that It
may maintain a high degree of eff

The library idea meets with hearty
encouragement from all quarters
and It is planned to make the move

LIBRARY COMMITTEE
WILL MEET CITY COUNCIL.

Rogue River valley boasts no
more progressive city than Grants
Pass, yet Corvallis and Roseburg are
the only other cities in the state of
its class which do not boast a public
library, and an aggressive movement
has been set on foot to provide free
library and reading room for this
city.
Some weeks ago committee from
the Ladies Auxiliary secured Miss
Cornelia Marvin, secretary of the
Oregon Library commission, for a
conference and public address. From
her rich fund of experience Miss
Marvin gave most direct and practi-
cal advice, insisting that the only
way to establish the desired library
was to plan at once to raise funds
for books, periodicals and upkeep,
that a definite time be set for the
opening OF such library and read
ing ROOM and that the whole county
be interested in the project.
1t is considered wise at this time
by those directing the movement, to
abandon all efforts for securing a Ii
brary building and to devote all
means and energies to the establish
ment of good working free public
library and reading room and full
enough to supply present needs The
supporters OF the movement wish II
plainly understood that they are
working only to secure such library
and are not asking aid for library
building.
1t is hard to estimate the benefits
that a carefully selected library
wisely directed by a trained librar'
ian, brings TO a community. Aside
from the attempt to furnish the read
ing public with the latest and best
authority on every subject. a vel
conducted library provides a public
reading room for daily use, special

DR.. and Mrs. #. r. Dame, OF Bos-

route to Portland and other north
ern cities from Los Angeles where
they had spent the winter. They
are travelling by automobile, having
left Boston last August and come to
California by the southern route,
and will make the return trip by the
northern route, following the Pacific
Highway from Los Angeles north In
company with another car that stop
ped at Medford, DR.. Danes party
was the first to cross that portion
of the Pacific highway over the Sis
kiyou mountains this season. They
report the steep portion OF the road
as pretty slippery, but with no old
snow remaining. The few miles In
the Siskiyous they said we're the
most difficult road which their ma
chimes were required to negotiate
between Boston and Grants Pass ex-
cept for the sands of the Arizona
plains. They we're especially pleased
with the roads in the Grants Pass

LEAGUE
EFFECT ORGANIZATION.

The Josephine County Taxpayers
League, the temporary organization
of which was effected week ago,
met in the assembly room at the
Commercial club Saturday, and per-
fected its organization by making A.
Grow, of Merlin, permanent presi-
dent, and j. p. Duncan OF Placer the
permanent secretary. The executive
committee of Ave members elected
at the pervious meeting was also
made permanent.
The executive committee was in
structed to draft constitution and
bylaws, to be published In the To-
cal press as soon as prepared, and
to be considered at a meeting of the
league to be held on Saturday, May
10th, in this city.
At the Saturday meeting there
was much discussion over the busi-
ness methods OF the county, and the
league, the membership of which is
open to all taxpayers, seems in
clined to probe the finances and to
keep close tab on the conduct of the
various officials. There was criti-
cism of the contract for the Galce
bridge, and ii was charged that the
contract for the management of the
county home had not been let to the
lowest bidder
Individual members Of the league
demanded that the contract for the
Galice bridge be enjoined. and the
executive committee is now formu-
lating an action which 1t proposes tC
bring in the circuit court Monday
morning to stop the work ON the
bridge. Messrs. Gale and Dean, whC
were present at the meeting, spoke
against the action, maintaining tha

LOCAL FORESTRY OFFICE
GETS WATER BAG

The forestry office in this city has
received a very convenient and ef-

posed to adopt in the fighting of for
est fires. The bag is made of heavy
canvas, rendered water proof by sew
eral coats of paint, and is to be
strapped upon the back Of the ranger
who can carry the load very comfort
ably. Several feet of hose are at
tached, and at the end of the hose a
fine sprinkling nozzle that will en-
able the fighter to combat an incip-
lent fire. Another feature of equip
ment that is to be tried out In this
district is a portable camp range,
large enough to cook for band of
fifty men. This is so constructed that
1t can be taken entirely to pieces, lit
