U.S.. ENGINEER INVES.
TlGATES ROGUE ROAD

Superintendent Macduff of the
Siskiyou forest reserve is on a trip
down the Rogue with c. Ii. Florey,
assistant forester from Portland,
and with Warren Allen, engineer
with the bureau Of good roads. He
Joined the two latter named gentle
men at Merlin, and departed from
there on the down river trip. Thsy
expect to go down the coast to Cres-
cent City, and return to Grants Pass
from that point. The object OF the
trip Is to investigate the Rogue and
report upon the feasibility OF the
construction of wagon road from
Galice, to which point road is now
built, to Gold Beach at the mouth Of
the Rogue. Both the commercial or
ganization at Gold Beach and one
here has made an effort to interest
the department In the construction

NATIONS WILL NOT
PARTICIPATES IN FAIR.

Washington, July 31.-Strong in
dication that neither Germany nor
Great Britain will participate in the
1915 Panama-Pacific exposition,
at San Francisco was admitted here
today at the state department,
where intimations to that effect have
been received.
In both cases the reason assigned
Is that international expositions are
so frequent as to lose any trade value
they may originally have had. The
decision of neither country is yet
final and it is likely that unofficial
representations will be made to both
that 1t is desirable to reconsider
their position.
Secretary Bryan denied that Eng
land has refused to participate in the
fair on account of the canal tolls dis
pute or that the tariff disagreement
with Germany is back Of that coun-
try's refusal.

FRONT ST. BUILDING
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Fire that started from unknown
causes Sunday night at about eleven
o'cloek practically destroyed the old
wooden building on the Weidman es-
tate property on Front street, the
good work of the local firefghters
confining the flames to the one struc-
ture, though for a time the Grants
Pass hotel on the west, and the cleo
trio station on the east, seemed like
ly to catch fire.
The building was occupied by the
millinery store of Mrs. L. Z.
Waughtal, the stock, valued at s3,-
600, being complete loss. The
Up-to-Date cleaning and pressing es-
tablishment, owned by Harry Shad-
burn, also occupied quarters in the
building. and Mr.. Shadburn an
nounces loss Of $500 In furniture
and other goods. The millinery stock
was not insured, but Mr., Shadburn
carried some insurance upon the fur
nishings of his place. Mr.. Shadburn
will reopen his cleaning and press
ing establishment within a few days,
his new location probably to be on
South Sixth street.
The burned building was one of
the pioneer structures In the city,
and the millinery store which it
housed had been in business for "a
years in the same location.
The rooms on the second floor of
the building were fitted up for
roomers, and a number of transients
who occupied them Sunday night met
with some loss of wearing apparel.

TWILIGHT TEAM OF
ASHLAND rs DEFEATED.

More than justifying their selec-
tion, and more than satisfying the
high expectations of the spectators,
the members of the Grants Pass ALI
star Twilight league baseball team,
playing brilliantly on the defensive
and vigorously on the offensive, yes
terday afternoon on the A. A. C.
grounds defeated the Ashland ALL
star Twilighters by score of to l
in a nine-inning game, the playing
of which consumed only l hour and
Al minutes.
Claude Trimble pitched the entire
game, tanning eight and allowing
only two scattered singles. Earl
Smith caught his regulation strong
game. The Grants Pass infield ac-
cepted 2S chances with only one in
expensive error. Woodward handled
cleanly 1S chances at first.
The infeld, comprising Wood
ward at first, o. Douglas at second
Teel at third and Erwin Smith at
short behaved like Chances old Cub
machine, and Hood in right and
Blanchard in center each made two
well-judged catches. Joel had no
fielding opportunity in left.
At bat Earl Smith led with two
doubles, Hood with a double and a
single, and Woodward with two
singles, and every Grants Pass play
er with the exception of Trimble
made one or more hits, while
Claude's long wallops we're the
cause of two of Ashland's three err
rors.
Grants Pass scored one in the first
when, after Hood had doubled, he
was caught going to third on Blan-
chard's fielder's choice; Woodward
was safe on Ruefs error. Teel
singled, scoring Blanchard, but
Woodward was thrown out at the
plate Erwin Smith singled, and
stole second, but Joel flew to Coder.
The local boys gathered two in
the second on Mowat's high throw
of Trimble's grounder, Earl Smiths
double and Hoods single.
Woodward's single and Teel's
walk in the fifth were non-produc-
tive, but in the sixth Grants Pass
gathered four on Joel's single which
nearly sent Umpire Frye for a long
rest in Granite Hill, Dews' nun Of
Trimbles long fly, Earl Smiths
double, and singles by Blanchard
and Woodward. In the seventh the
home team added their final score
when Erwin Smith was hit by a
pitched ball, Jcel's walk, and o.
Douglas double
Ashlands lone run came in the
fifth when Ruef was hit by the
pitcher, went to third on GuiIy's long
single and scored on a wild pitch.
