A good crowd last night assembled
In the club room Of the West End

speeches OF candidates for various Of
Aces The meeting was held par
ticularly for the benefit of the candi-
dates for the legislature. as they had
not had the opportunity of addressing
themselves to TINS particular club.
The evening was not entirely de-
voted to this class Of candidates, how
ever, but was open to all who aspire
for ONCE at the primary of June 18th.
James Cannon Opens It.
Candidate James Cannon was the
FIRST speaker. and after talking for
more than half an hour on the plat
form which ne had placed before the
people, took up some time in explain
ing that he had been confused with
another gentleman OF similar name.
He stated that he wished the voters TO
understand that while he held many
UNCONVENTIONAL ideas. he was not a
minister.
THE only similarity in this respect"
said Mr.. Cannon. is that my first
name and my last are the same as
those Of the gentleman for whom
many people take me. In many re-
spects we differ. He is known as
Statewide prchibitionist. while l be-
lieve in local option. and in the con-
duct of affairs by the people who con-
stitute a community. ! do not think
that people from other sections of the
State should tell the people OF Rich

opinion on any subject and who ex-
presses that opinion. i must say that

carries my name. He is sincere IN his
convictions for which i give him
credit. and ! am sincere in mine"

Edwin A. Cox followed. He said

ROBBER
SUSPECT ARRESTED

One of the men who has created n
reign of terror in Rogue valley post
offices for the past month, robbing
five of Uncle Sans institutions, has
just been arrested at Roseburg, ac-
cording to a dispatch received Mon
day afternoon by Chief Mclean.
Among the plunder taken from the
postofiices looted were several hun
dred pennies. Last Wednesday af-
ternoon a woman appeared at the
Josephine county bank and wanted
to exchange 775 pennies for coin
more convenient to carry. She ex-
planned her possession of these pen
nies by saying that her little girl had
been saving them up, but that now
they had become too bulky to carry
around in their travels.
Chief Mclean saw tha woman turn
ing the pennies in at the bank, and al
once took up the clue. He traced the
woman to the Josephine hotel, where
she was staying with her husband
and two small children, the man hav-
ing registered as j. Allison.
That night the Rogue River post
office was entered, and the robber re-
turned to Grants Pass on a speedeI
taken from the Rogue River depot
and ditched to the east of the depot
here. A man answering the descrip-
tion of Allison had been seen al
Rogue River the evening before the
robbery.
Thursday morning Allison and his
family took No. 90 purchasing tic
kets for Roseburg. At the latter city
they were continually shadowed by
the officers, and Monday after
noon l.. B. Moore, railroad detective
wired that he had made the arrest
and had found the proceeds of the
various robberies upon the man.
A second man is supposed to have
been implicated in the burglaries, but
| he has not been located.

OPEN RIVER FAVORED
BY COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The Grants Pass Commercial club
has gone on record as favoring a riv-
er open to commercial fishing to the
steel bridge across the Rogue at the
end of Sixth street but unless it can
be opened to that point the senator
and the representative from this
county will be requested to vote
against opening the river at all. 1t
is recognized that to open the river
only to the mouth of the Illinois riv-
er will create a monopoly in the in
terests of the cannery located there,
and will result in no benefits to the
rest of the valley. The club will use
its best endeavors to have bill
passed by the legislature to open the
river to fishing with nets with a mesh
no smaller than s 1-2 inches in
spread, but prohibiting the use of
seines. This is the bill that has been
recommended by both the CONNER
cial fishermen of the city, and the
Game and Game Fish Protective as
sociation.

DRILLING FOR OIL
AT THREE PINES

The mystery of the exploding we'll
at Three Pines is to be solved. An
expert from the oil regions of Texas
has visited the phenomenon, and he
says uneQuivocally that the we'll is
over a body of petroleum, and that
escaping gases are responsible for
the grumblings and the mutterings
and the more violent eruptions that
daily churn the six feet Of water into
mud, and that have made the neigh
bors believe that Three Pines was
located over the place We read about
A thick scum of oil now rises daily
on the surface of the water in the
well after the eruptions, and samples
recently brought to the Courier Of
flee would indicate Enthusiastically
that il is petroleum. o. Moore, the
Texan who was called to investigate
the well, pronounced it petroleum,
and so positive was he of his dag
noss that an oil we'll drilling outfit
has been ordered, to be on the
ground within a week or ten days,
and hole will be punched down in
to the bowels of the earth when con-
fidence is expressed that a stream of
the wealth-giving fluid will be en-
countered.
Three Pines is 1854 feet above the
sea level, and Mr.. Moore says that he
expects to find the great body OF oil
lying below sea level, which will ne
cessitate drilling 1900 or more feet
in depth. For the purpose of exploit
ing this oil field, the Davis & Moore
! Oil Co. is being organized, and
leases have been taken on 1000
acres of land Immediately surround
ing the town of Three Pines. The
Davis well, in which the oil indica-
tions have been found, is located
near the center of the forty-acre
townsite. Under the lease terms, the
property owner is to have one.

erty in case oil is found beneath it
leases of this kind having been sign
ed to the new company Stock in the
company will probably be offered To-
cally to raise funds for the develop.
ment work that is to be done.
The history of this well has been
previously told in the Courier. II
was dug last July by d. W. Davis
being Al 1-2 feet in depth. The ex.
cavation was the entire deptl
Through granite, the depth of water
being six feet. Early in December
the first popularity in the conduct Of
the well was noted, at that time Il
having occasional upheavals from the
bottom, and the water was ruined fol
house use. Recently ]. G. Randle o
this city visited the we'll, and ht
found a mist rising from the surfac,
of the water, the water itself beinl
much warmer than that of neighbor
ing wells.
The outcome of the sinking of thii
first test hole will be watched will

quainted with the conditions sur
