ATHLETICS AT HIGH
SCHOOL is BOOSTED.

Enthusiasm and work in spring
athletics at the high school has re-
ceived a decided impetus from the
acquisition of Scott Hamilton as
physical director, to have charge of
all branches of athletics in the city
schools. Work in baseball and track
will be started Immediately, and
with proper training, the local school
should be well represented in both
sports and schedule of games will
be arranged with other schools of
the valley Immediately. Practice
will be taken up at the same time.
Last year Grants Pass was asked to
participate in a track meet with Ash
land and Medford, but lack of en-
thusiasm and apparatus resulted in
dropping the matter. 1t is hoped
though that the local school will be
in a position to send representa-
tion If asked to take part this year.
On Wednesday and Friday after
Moons, girls classes in gym. work
will be trained, taking up calisthen-
les, basketball and other work.
Athletics will also be encouraged
in the grade schools, and baseball
teams will be organized in each Of
the three schools. A schedule of
games for them has been arranged,
and will be a series OF six games,
each school taking part in four con-
tests. The first game will be played
Saturday, April. l9, and one each
succeeding Saturday Practice will
commence Immediately.
This movement in local school
athletics is the greatest step yet taxi
en- in this city for the furtherance of
school sports, and should do much
toward developing better athletic
teams in the future.

"TTALY"
WAS APPRECIATED.

An educational and artistic treat
was given to those who listened to
and witnessed the music travelogue
Italy" as given by Bruce Gordon
Kingsley, Madame Anna Harper
Mottram and j. Penrose Wallace at
the opera house last night.
The pictures as presented on the
Autograph were in themselves a rare
treat. Madame Mottram's selections,
rendered with reserve power and
sweetness, from Verdi, Puccinci,
Leoncavallo, Schubert and Scarlatti,
were enthusiastically received.
Mr.. Kingsley, globe-trotter, lee
turer, musician, is one of the best
planists in the world While there
was nothing feminine in his tech
nlque, yet in the softer parts he play
ed with a finesse rarely attained. In
his running lecture in conjunction
with the pictures he displayed a
beauty Of diction, richness OF imag.
ination, and purity of enunclatlon in
comparable.
The pictures were perfectly col
ored and the manner Of their projec
tion bespeaks praise for the arto
graph operator, Mr.. Wallace.

LEDGE NEAR GRANTS PASS
SHOWS GOOD QUALITY.
TESTS TO BE MADE OF ROCK
III Material Proves Good for building
Purposes IL VIII Likely be
Worked at Once.

j. l.. McCulloch is in the city from
Portland investigating the deposit of
granite to the north OF town, and up
on the report which he will make to
the Tenino sandstone people II is be-
lieved that that company will pur-
chase the quarry and open up the
ledge and make shipments from 1t.
The granite is just beyond the
water works reservoir, and available
to the railroad tracks for loading on
the cars for shipment, and Mr.. Nc
Culloch says that he thinks there Is
no doubt about the company taking
over the quarry and developing 1t,
He is taking samples of the granite
back with him, one piece polished
showing that the rock takes on O
beautiful finish. He says that II the
Tenlno nrm should take over the
property they will put on crew OF
men and do wholesale quarrying, es-
tablishing a payroll that will be OF
considerable magnitude.
The granite samples which Mr.
McCulloch is taking back with his
report are firm and of good color
and grain though they came from
the surface and the character of the
rock should improve greatly with
depth. The samples taken north will
be submitted to tests, and If their
value is proven the quarry will be
opened up.

NEARLY 1000 COWS WILL BE
AVAILABLE.
FINAL MEETING SATURDAY
Capital Stock of $4,000 Was More
Than Half Subscribed at the
First Call.

The Rogue Valley creamery that
is being organized in Grants Pass is
meeting with enthusiastic endorse
ment by the producers. The meet
ing held in the Commercial club
rooms Saturday afternoon was large
ly attended, and more than one-half
of the capital stock OF $4,000 was
subscribed in few minutes solicit
ing among those present. H. l.. Gill
key acted as chairman of the meet
ing, and j. G. Riggs secretary, and
endorsement of the creamery plans
was voiced by numerous speakers.
Previous to the meeting a COM
mittee had solicited the various dis
tricts tributary to Grants Pass, and
received the promise of the cream
from SOC cows, this including lib
eral pledges from the Evans creek
and Glendale communities. AS many
of the farmers could not be COM
municated with it is confidently ex-
pected that the creamery will start
off with more than thousand cows
supplying it with cream. This does
not include the 260 cows that are
available for creamery in the
Wilderville district, but which will
be added to the number should the
people of that neighborhood decide
to join in the central creamery here
rather than organize one of their
own as they have been contemplat-
ing. Effort is being made to unite
the interests of the Wilderville peo-
pie with the Rogue Valley cream
cry at Grants Pass, as it is argued
that the greater the volume of busi-
ness the greater will be the returns
to the individual producer of cream
as the creamery is to be on CO.
operative basis.
Solicitors were named by the
meeting Saturday to solicit the var
ious districts that will be brought
under the new creamery These
committees are to canvass all the
farmers next Wednesday, and get as
many to take stock and guarantee
COWS as possible. No stock subscrip-
tions will be solicited among the
Grants Pass business men until the
owners of the cows that will supply
the cream have had an opportunity
to take it, and then if there is any
balance to make up 1t will be taken
by local business men. With more
than one-half already subscribed,
there is no question about getting
the entire capital without delay.
A committee on bylaws will meet
Monday night, and will be ready to
report Saturday at meeting to be
held at the Commercial club rooms
at two o'clock.

City, being accompanied from here
by DR.. Reddy and Engineer Harmon.
The other members of the party,
Messrs. Shepard of Boston, and

The trip to Crescent City will be
made by automobile and wagon, a
part of the road being practically inn
passible to auto since the recent
heavy rains.
The members of the party were all
enthusiastic over what they had an
opportunity to see while in Grants
Pass regardless of the rain that fell
during the greater part of their
stay. Grants Pass Is the most met
ropolitan appearing little city | have
seen in the west" said Mr.. Martin,
in speaking with the Courier. Sixth
street, with its beautiful lighting, its
underground wiring, clean paving
and handsome business blocks Is cer-
tainly a model, and the spirit of your
people is most commendable They
seem to be pulling all one way, and
it's a spirit that will surely bring
you a railroad" continued Mr.. Mar
tin.
I'VE can not give you anything
definite as regards the railroad situ-
ation," said Mr.. Martin 1--WE are
here to go over the field, and later
mining and other engineers Will
likely follow to investigate the ex-
tent Of the ore deposits that will be
adjacent to the road. We are all
much pleased with what We have
seen thus far, and have only words
of praise for the Rogue valley. We
are going to Crescent City tomorrow
but will return to Grants Pass in a
few days. The necessity for a rail-
road to the coast is apparent, and
the resources, developed and unde-
veloped, would seem to justify Its
building"
