MANY PRIZES FOR
BLUE-BLOOD POULTRY.

E. S. Veatch has added another
feather to his cap as a poultryman
since the announcement Of the
awards in the Josephine county
poultry show. 1t is not because the
silver cup offered by the association
for the best display of birds in the
show has passed into his pos
session, but it is because so compe-
tent a Judge as Kinds should place
the blue ribbons largely where Mr.
Veatch himself had placed them on
the same entries at the Ashland
fair show.
At the Ashland show, where
Veatch was Judge, the Fuller pen Of
White Wyandotes was given first
prize, and under the scoring OF Mr..
Kinds 1t has again carried off that
honor. Likewise the Rhode Island
Red cockerel Of G.. II. Parker that
won sweepstakes at Ashland, and
that made a remarkable record at the
shows to the north, was a winner
here. This bird was high scorer
at the Portland show, but because Of
clipped wing was disqualified from
winning the premium, and in scor-
ing him here Judge Kinds gave him
within half point Of the same mark
he received at Portland.
For honors for the best pen in the
show there was a close race between
the White Wyandottes exhibited by

Rogue on leaving the city, and anoth-
er of 800 feet where the road crosses
the Applegate on the tenth mile,
In arriving at the figures the en-
gineers have omitted no detail, but
the estimate leaves the road COM
pletely built and equipped and ready
to enter upon its destiny of making
available the forests of timber and
the mountains of mineral that lie
along its length.
With Crescent City undertaking
work upon unit of the system at
that end of the line, the company will
be in a position as soon as this work
is done to finance the balance of the
connecting road, and so give to
Grants Pass connection with the sea.

SETTLE WITH OLD
G. P. & R. R. RAILROAD

WIN the sale OF the assets or the
Grants Pass & Rogue River railroad
company to S. H. Riggs the affairs of
the old corporation will be closed up
by the courts and receiver discharg-
ed The dividends to be paid upon
the claims against the company, how
ever, will not be of great extent, and
if the final disbursement of the pro-
ceeds of the sale return those who
have claims for labor and for mater
ials furnished ten per cent of the de-
mands the creditors can consider
themselves fortunate.
Papers on file in the clerks office
in this county show that the court
accepted the offer of Mr. Riggs for
the railroad property, the figure nam
ed being $1,000. Mr.. Riggs made al
tentative offers for the property, the
first of $4,000, the court to guaran-
tee that the temporary bridge built
across the Rogue would stand intact
during the present winter. The 9th
er was that Riggs would assume re-
sponsibility for the safety of the
bridge, the price for the property in
this event to be $500. The latter
proposition was accepted, and the
sale on that basis was confirmed by
the court.
When this company was organized
two years ago work of building was
commenced and stock in the corpora
tion was placed on the market. The
liabilities of the company included
some $4,000 or $4,000 for labor
and material claims unpaid, and $50
600 for stock sold. The labor and
material claims are largely held by
residents of Grants Pass, while the
stock in the main was subscribed by
the Riggs and Chaplin interests.
The expenses of the receivership
will eat up practically all of the
funds turned in to the court for the
property Mr.. Riggs says that it is
not probable that the holders of the
stock will make claim for participa-
tion in the distribution Of whatever
dividends there may be, all OF the
balance to go toward the liquidation
of the labor and material claims.
These will not be much affected by
the distribution, however.
The property turned over to Mr..
Riggs by the court includes the mile
or two of constructed trackage, the
bridge across the Rogue that was
partly washed out by last season S
high water locomotive mol" and
such survey and other rights are to
remain intact.
Mr.. Riggs is taking means for the
protection of the bridge during the
water that can be expected during the
winter, and will maintain the prop
erty and will probably merge it with
the recently incorporated Portland
and San Francisco Coast line that has
lines projected into this territory.

THE PURPOSE OF CAMPAIGN.
The Courier feels that with the
coming of the new railroad and
eventually, cheaper and better trans
portation facilities, a new era of pros
perity will reign in Grants Pass and
vicinity. The spirit of the people has
already changed and many are look
ing forward to the better times
period" in the very near future. The
Courier wishes to be on the ground
floor of the new business awakening
with large and substantial circula-
ton and it is with this in view that
the management has decided to g to
the expense of putting up this won
derful array of prizes This campaign
to double the Courier circulation may
be the beginning of "the good times
PERIOD" at least the management
is willing to take the risk,

land Furniture store, Stanton Rowe!l

other stores of the city which give
votes will be made in later issue.
The prizes are the best that can be
secured and are all on display in To-
cal stores. Those interested are in
vited to call and look them over. This
is the time to act. Fill in the nom
nation blank today for yourself or
