RAYMOND'S PLUSH
CURTAIN STOLEN

At the time that Raymond, the
magician, was in Grants Pass he dis
charged one of his employees, and lat
er it was found that the big plush
curtain. that had hung during the
performances here had disappeared.
The curtain was valued at several
hundred dollars. Recently Raymond
got track of the curtain in San Fran
cisco and wired to Manager Hanley
of the local opera house to swear
out warrant charging the man who
left the company here with larceny
and that he would be arrested in the
California city and returned here for
trial. The warrant was sworn out.
and the San Francisco authorities
we're instructed to arrest the sus-
pected man. To date nothing fur
ther has been heard of the case.

FISHING LICENSES
ARE NOW THE ORDER

Fishing license No. /, giving the
privilege of the Rogue for the year
1913, was issued to Councilman
Wolfersberger early on the last day
of the old year. The distinction of
holding the initial license has long
been the cause of more or less strife
on the part of number of the fish
ermen, and Herman Horning has
proved hard man to beat at the
game, but the piscatoriafly inclined
councilman won out this time, and
when IIorning called up the county
clerk with visions of victory before
his eyes he was told that he must
now take third place, for M. II.
Shinn had followed Wolfersberger
and held second honors.
The new licenses will be required
by all who try for the trout and the
salmon tomorrow, and as the county
clerks office will be closed, they
will have to be obtained tonight.
The rise in the river Is expected to
bring up a run of silversides and
steeheads, and the first of the run
is now due. All the coast streams
report exceptional runs of the steel
head, and the weight Of that fish is
running larger than heretofore.
Those taken from the Coos, Umpqua
and other rivers for shipment are
said to average better than ten
pounds. Some good ones have also
been caught from the Rogue, but the
big run has not been on here yet.

P0ULTRYMEN WILL
MARKET PRODUCTS

The poultrymen have gone after
the marketing of poultry products in
earnest. At the recent meeting of
the poultry association committee
composed of Messrs, Geo. II. Parker,
c. Il. Wise and g. Il. Harris was
named to leok up markets for eggs
and poultry, and to make provision
for shipping to the best advantage,
The industry has grown so rapidly
in the past year that more eggs are
now produced than will supply home
demand, and during the balance of
the winter and the spring months
this condition will become more no.
ticeable as the many flocks of young
birds come to producing age.
This committee proposes to find
the best markets to the north and
then make shipments for the associ-
alton members, or If the individual
members have enough eggs to make
separate shipments, they will be di-
rected to the best points, That the
committee can work intelligently
statistics regarding the number of
fowls in the yards of the different
growers is desired, together with the
probable number of eggs that can be
produced for shipment, Then by
guaranteeing the shipment of fresh
gathered eggs, the committee will be
able to contract In the markets at
Portland and Seattle at fancy prices.
The data desired by the committee
can be given to G. Il. Harris, secre-
tary of the association. or to the
committee members.

OBJECTION OF MAYOR SMITH
DEFEATS LARGER LEVY.
SPECIAL SESSION WAS HELD
Comcilmen Herzinger, Clark, Strick.
er. Phillips and Wolfersberger
Vote to Pass Over Veto.

The necessary three-fourths vote
could not be obtained to pass the
vetoed tax levy ordinance over the
head Of the mayor at the special ses-
sion of the council Tuesday night.
the measure therefore meeting de-
feat. This ordinance provided for a
levy OF twelve mills upon the assess
ed valuation Of the city property, and
the mayor In his veto message said
that smaller levy would produce
funds enough for the proper conduct
of the municipality and to meet all
contingent expense. He advocated a
levy of not to exceed eight mills, and
thought that ~ mills would pro-
duce revenue enough.
The levy last year had been ten
mills, and the finance committee, In
making up the budget, had included
for this year certain expenses that
could not properly come against the
city at this time, and to meet this
had made the levy twelve mills.
An attempt was made to pass the
ordinance over the Veto this requir-
ing a three-fourths vote of the coun-
Gil, or six supporting 1t. Five only
were recorded for 1t and 1t there
fore failed. Those voting to pass the
ordinance over the veto were Coun-
cilmen Herzinger, Clark, Stricken,
Phillips and Wolfersberger, while
Daniels and Caldwell opposed. the
two latter stating their belief that
an eight mill levy was large enough.
With the failure of the ordinance,
a resolution placing the levy at ten
mills was presented, and this also
failed to receive the necessary three
fourths vote to make the levy law
full The vote on this was the same
as that on the twelve mill ordinance.
AS q compromise measure, the fig
ure was reduced to nine mills, and In
this form passed with the vote of all
present except Daniels, who still
stood for the eight mill levy.
Mayor Smith and Councilman
Everton were absent from the meet
ing, and President Stricken presided.

FINISH SURVEY FOR
R.R. TO COOS BAY

Engineer Val jean who has been
in charge of the survey of the Coos
Bay-Grants Pass railroad, has COM
pleted the running of the line to
Eagle Point, where 1t connects with
the Pacific and Eastern.
The engineers have been engaged
on this work since early last spring,
and now have the survey complete
from tide water at Bandon to Eagle
Point. From Grants Pass up the
river surveys we're made on each
side of the stream, and It Will de-
pend where the least serious engi-
neering difficulties are found upon
which side the road will ultimately
be run. 1t is understood that re-
markably even grade is found along
the entire route, the heaviest being
one and four-tenths climb, which
is very mild indeed.
A great deal Of money has been
expended in the making Of this sur
vey and It has been complete In
every particular. AS soon as the
data IS ready to be turned over by
the engineers Mr.. Lee the San
Francisco attorney who is in charge
Of the matter, expects TO go to New
York, when definite announcement
can probably be made of the plans
Of the promoters Of the new road.

Twelve Months.

The spirit of 1912 passed from
this earth on the stroke of twelve
Tuesday night with few to mourn
the departure, though in Grants Pass
as in other centers of population, the
coming of the new 1913 was greeted
with acclaim.
But 1912 was not unkind to this
locality, for while it has witnessed
its portion of adversely, it has like
wise seen great forward move
ment inaugurated, and during the
twelve months has marked great de-
velopment in the city and adjacent
country.
Numerous watch meetings were
held throughout the city to speed the
departing and welcome the new year,
and while some enthusiasm was
present in the greeting it did not in
any instance go beyond bounds.
No great calamity has befallen
Grants Pass during the 966 days of
1912, and 1T has been visited by
neither disastrous fire nor pestilence.

to day, and from the files of the pa

City Council Provides Funds For Use Till The

Interior company I'm handling
the funds and directing the con-
struction work. The council
was unit i'm its action, and is
going at the matter in busi-
ness-like way that assures
complete success.
Following the action of the
council in providing the way for
immediate work, DIR. Reddy and
the directors and engineering
force made plans to have con-
struction commence ON Thurs
day, January End. To that end
Engineer Harmon took the field
on New Years day, and is re-
establishing some of the grade
stakes that had become obliter-
ated along the Draper survey.
A camp, No. I of the Pacific
Interior Company, will be estab-
lished Thursday on Allen creek
to the southwest of the city,
where work will be commenced.
The first work will he where the
old grade on the Grants Pass
Williams Valley road, which was
projected two years ago, ended.
This grade is upon the Draper
Gum, now the Pacifiic-Interior
right-of-way, from the point
where the grade crosses the
highway to the south of the big
steel bridge, so that all the work
done from there will be availa-
BILE for the new company. Be-
yond that point to the Applegate
river only light work will be en-
cOuntered, and the first activity
will be toward the clearing of
the right-of-way. Grading will
proceed rapidly, the ground now
being in the best possible condi-
tion for handling. Engineer
Harmon says that IL is not likely
that ties or steel will be laid till
at least six miles of the grading
has been completed.
Only the one camp will be
established at first, this to in-
clude accommodations for a d0z-
en- teams and from thirty TO
fifty men. Local teams and men
will be employed so long as they
are available. Provision will
be made for the boarding and
the lodging of the men at the
camp. and u first-class cook will
be employed. Many applica-
tions for work have already
been made and no difficulty will
he experienced in getting the
first camp supplied. Later, as
the details are arranged and the
engineers can provide for the
profitable employment of more
men, other camps will he es-
tablished. and the work pressed
as rapidly as possible.
Engineer Harmon says that
before men are put at work in
the vicinity of Hays Hill he
wants to do some more survey
ing there as he has hopes that
he can still further reduce the

Thursday, January End, 1913,
will mark the first active con-
struction work on the Pacific
Interior railway.
The city council, In special
session last night paved the way
for immediate construction work,
putting the 100000 special
bond issue on the market, and
providing for cash fund from
other sources with which TO pay
bills for labor while the bonds
are being fioated.
The resolution passed by the
council authorized the city audi
tor to advertise the bonds for
10 days, and to ask bids cover
ing an issue to run for 30 years
with the privilege of retiring
them at the end of 20, and also
for the same issue to run 20
years with the privilege of re-
tirement at the end of five
years. The bonds are to bear
five per cent interest, and are
not to be sold at less than par.
The mayor, who was absent
from the special meeting sent
communication in which he said
that he anticipated that the
bonds would sell at premium,
as many inquiries were already
coming i'm, and all the principal
bond buyers were watching the
issue and would be ready to bid
on them as soon as they were
placed on the market. To avoid
delay such as was experienced
when the last issue of bonds
was sold, it is proposed to pre-
pare transcripts TO 60 TO each
bidder. his bid to be predicated
upon the transcript so that quib-
bling over details can not fol-
low the acceptance of the best
bid. The bond dealers satis-
fled themselves on all of these
details at the time the funding
bonds were sold last spring,
however, so that the way is clear
for the receipt of the cash on
these without delay.
To provide for the immediate
future the council created a
fund in which 1t will place S1O.-
600 cash to be used to pay for
labor at once, this $4,000 to
be returned as soon as the pro-
ceeds from the bond sale are
available.
A committee to be composed
Of three members of the cOun-
ell, to be elected from that body
