The official report of the Public
Utilities commission to the city coun-
ell has been prepared, the document
showing the progress of the work up
to the inspection of the right-of-way
by the members of the commission
Tuesday.
The report expresses the full sat
isfaction Of the commission with the
clearing accomplished both as to the
character of the work and its cost.
1t states that the clearing extends
from station 81 to $50, inclusive,
with the exception of the 600 feet
across the old jewell ranch, which
was already cleared, and totals 25.S2
acres. The bills audited for this
work amounted to $902.06,
making the cost about $35 per acre.
From station 81 to III the right-of-
way is cleared the full 100 feet in
width, and from there on the aver
age is sixty feet.

in the present call for bids is that
part Of the right-of-way between sta
tion 279, TO which point clearing has
already been done, and station AIT,

1t was also decided to have the
grading done by small contract sys-
TEN, thus giving all the local people
who desire to work upon the job a
chance to take as large or as small a
contract as they wish Bids for the
grading Will be invited later.
The members Of the commission,
in company with Engineer Harmon,
went over the right-of-way as far as
1t has been cleared Tuesday afte;.

themselves as well pleased with the
progress that had been made and
with the manner Of the work itself.
The cleared rlght-of-way is ready for
the graders all the brush and tim
ber having been removed.
Following the inspection OF the
work, the commission audited the
bills that have come to the engineers
office for the clearing and other ex-
penses, and these will be reported ~

ROCKEFELLER FOUND
IN GRANTS PASS

The Puio investigating committee
had long hunt for VIM. Rockefel-
ler, but the Grants Pass police force
found the gentleman with little
trouble. In fact he made his pres
ence so noticeable that Wednesday
evening he was put in the city bas-
tile with a drunk and disorderly
charge hanging over his head In
police court Thursday morning he
was given the customary $40 fine,
but as he lacked the cash, friends
stood good for the ten spot, and

TO COOPERATE IN THE SALE OF
HEN PRODUCTS.
CENSUS OF 5000 CACKLERS
}. ID. Hair Sent to Portland TO Ar.
range for Sale of Guaranteed
Eggs in Cartons.

The Grants Pass Poultry associa-
tion is going right out after the mar
ket as the first condition of making
this district the leader in the pro-
duction of poultry products First
a hen census was taken to determine
what probable shipments could 'be
guaranteed from here during the
present season. This census which
has been completed shows that there
are between 1000 and 5000 laying
hens that will come under the asso-
citation control, and that the yards
will be largely extended If the pro-
per marketing arrangements are
made
AT a meeting of the committees of
the association Saturday afternoon
it was decided to have j. f. Hair go
to Portland Monday, and find the
best outlet for the eggs that can be
delivered this spring and summer.
The association has already been in
communication with the Portland re-
tailers, and it is known a satisfac-
tory shipping arrangement can be
made. The commission houses will
be eliminated through the proposed
arrangement, and the eggs sent di-
rect to the retailers who have an
nounced their willingness to pay a
premium for guaranteed eggs such
as the association will furnish.
All eggs from the local associa-
tion will go under the association
label in dozen cartons, sealed The
eggs will be graded and candled at
central agency in charge of COM
petent man selected by the associa-
tion, the only identifying mark up
on the carton being a number that
will trace the producer of the par
ticular dozen eggs. Under the guar
antee of the association all off-grade
eggs will be replaced, and through
this number the man who supplied
them can be traced Some of the To-
cal merchants have agreed to pay a
premium of 2 1-2 cents a dozen over
the market for eggs thus guaran-
teed.
The association also has a number
of other outlets for eggs and poul-
try in view as soon as they can sup
ply the call, but first it wishes to
complete the arrangement now on
with the Portland retailers. AS
soon as these arrangements are
made, the local poultry industry will
be given a great impetus, as many
who now have small yards will in
crease them as soon as a cooperative
system of marketing is worked out.
At present too many eggs are pro-
duced for the local demand and the
small grower alone is unable to find
the outlet for the surplus.

s75 to S125 per month. The origin
al ordinance had provided for the APP
pointment of special attorney to di-
rect the legal affairs of the railway
commission, with a salary of 1925
per month. but later it was decided
to combine the two, and authorize
the appointment OF deputy attor-
ney at SIS per month when his SER
vices we're required. The mayor
stated that he did not intend to APP
point the railway attorney yet as 1t
seemed quite possible that the SER
vices of one might not be required,
and he opposed the expense till it
was necessary. The amendment was
adopted and the ordinance passed,
however, Councilmen Clark, Everton,
Caldwell, Barnes, Atchlson and Nor
gan voting in its favor, and Culbert-
son and Porter against 1t.
Creager City Auditor.
Robert Creager, deputy city audi
tor for the past year, was nominated
by the mayor for the office of audi
tor and police Judge for the coming
year vice ]. N. Johnston, who has
been named as deputy prosecuting
attorney for the district, and who
will enter upon private practice. Il.
S. Veatch was nominated as deputy
auditor, the nominations being
promptly confirmed by the council.
The season of 1913 is opening up
well in the way of public improve
ments in the city of Grants Pass, and
there is promise of great Develop
ment along that line. Work on II
and Fourth streets, around the city
hall, in progress when the bad wealth
er of the winter commenced, will
again be prosecuted within short
time, as will also the Josephine
street work, contract for which was
let during the fall on condition that
the contractors would not take up
the paving till spring.
Bids for the paving Of the Fourth
street railroad crossing will be con-
sidered by the council tonight, the
engineers estimate on this being s3,-
200.
1t is also expected that Fourth and
Fifth streets will be paved this sea-
son, petitions for the work now be-
ing out and literally signed by the
interested property owners.
Much attention has been attracted
from the outside to the asphaltic
macadam paving laid by this city
during the past year, and the city en-
gineers office is in receipt of num-
erous communications from munich
pal governments inquiring as to its
cost and character. Grants Pass put
down $1,000 square yards of this
kind of pavement last summer, the
cost varying from so cents to $1.04
1-2 per yard The base Is crushed
rock, the wearing surface being Of
an asphaltc compound that is hard
and water proof, in every way the
equal of the best bitulthic.
Another Improvement that will un-
doubtedly be made early in the sea-
son will be the construction of con-
crete bridge across Gilbert creek on
Midland avenue, at the extreme
north edge of the city limits The
plan for this bridge has been pre-
pared by Engineer Hobson, and
shows a neat and substantial struc-
ture The expense Of this bridge is
to be borne equally by the city and
the county With the completion OF
this bridge the Pacific Highway can
then be turned from the Merlin road
to Lawnridge avenue, coming to the
center OF the city by that beautiful
| thoroughfare.

owing to the fact that number Of the
fire boys are absent at the fire tourna

the aid Of some Of our citizens who
volunteered and were not long in get
ting ON the ground and upon arriving
at the scene Of the fire found it to
be the section house on theGreat North
ern east Of town occupied BY Greek sec

headway that it was impossible to save
the building and it burned to the
ground with its contents. It was bad
day for q fire as the wind was blow

CROP PROSPECTS
ARE JUST FAIR

Seeding is now practicable finished
and most all grains are U and look
ing fairly good. Up to date the spring
has been rather backward, dost Of
the month of May and up to the pres
ent time in June having been cold.
However we have had some nice show
ers and all grain seems to have a
healthy appearance and with some good
rains this month and also warm wealth
er there will be nothing to fear so far
as the crop conditions are concerned.
Many old timers will remember years
when the crops were very backward at
this time of the year and when we
needed rains much more than we do
now, and yet the crops were bumper
ones when harvest rolled around. So
far there is no cause to complain over
the condition of crops in Ramsey
county.
