When Walters Shouldn't Wait

Rehearsals for the historical. dramatic
and spectacular pageant, Columbia
which is to be presented the week Of
February . IN the Columbia Theater by
Il cast of young society people, are
being held each AFTERNOON and evening
in the ball room of the Raleigh Hotel.
While the young men and women VINO
are 10 participate in the VA Gus dances
and tableaux work lard, and tackle
their labor with tremendous enthusiasm,
the rehearsaIs are not without their
humorous side.
Yesterday afternoon the walters and
mattresses group held its rehearsais'
headed by Miss Jessie =. Grimes, who
has the part OF the head waitress. After
a long and heated discussion regarding
the costumes to be worn by the en-
bryo servitors had been concluded, the
decision was made that the girls should
wear black dresses with little Ehite
aprons, while the men would car white
Jackets over the regulation walters
uniforms.
The coach, wishing 70 give further di-
rections regarding this number. called
will you walters and Mattresses please
come TO this end Of the Toom?"
The young people we're go busy that
they didn't even hear him. and again
he made the same request and again no
attention was paid to niU1.
The third time he called them, this
time a little louder. There was Z note
of challenge in his voice.
Walters and Mattresses. Don't you
know that you are walters and wait
resses? Don't you know you should
act the part? Now. ouppose Just for
by way Of practice, wait on me. Don't
let me walt on you.
BY that time the society c:rls and men
'tuubled'' to the fact that they were
supposed to give & certain amount Of
versimilitude to their parts.

Long Litigation
On Golden Drift

The litigation in the Golden Drift
case-heard before Judge Calkins in
Ashland about two years ago and dis
cussed in this paper at various times
has been settled by stipulation of
the attorneys and taken out of the
hands of the supreme court.
After the decision of the circuit
court the Rogue River Public Service
Corporation became the owner of the
Golden Drift property, consisting of
about 1900 acres of land, the big dam
and pumping plant three miles east
of Grants Pass and the Oldest water
right on Rogue river for power and
irrigation purposes.
Under the terms of the settlement
the Rogue River Public Service Cor
poration becomes the owner of ap-
proXimately 500 acres more of land
heretofore owned by G. G. Ament and
| nonresident associates, which lands
were outside of the decree of the cir
cult court, and the settlement also
clears up the service corporation s
title to over 1000 acres of other
lands. The settlement brings the
corporations land holdings up to
about $500 acres, of which 2100 acres
are in Josephine county and 700
acres in Jackson county. The new
lands consist of about forty acres
within the city limits of Grants Pass
and about $50 acres, having one mile
of river frontage from just east of
the city limits, and about 800 acres
down the river adjoining the Leonard
orchards.
The land of which the title was
cleared up embraces sixty acres sur
rounded by Tokay Heights and is
just east of the city along the South
ern Pacific railroad, and about 900
lots in South Grants Pass, the rail-
road addition to Grants Pass, the
other lands being orchard lands near
town along and near the Crescent
City road.
The settlement has resulted in
stopping litigation and the turning
over to the Rogue River Public Ser
vice Corporation of the lands above
described, securities of the Golden
Drift Mining Company, consisting OF
capital stock to the par value of
| 1915, ,535, bonds to par value OF
| ,OOU, anu W vi
$31, ,920, and the capital stock of all
subsidiary companies, aggregating
more than $1,620,000 par value. All
stock of the Josephine County Irriga-
ton and Power Company, owned by
the Aments, amounting to ALSO
shares, was also transferred to the
Public Service Corporation
In consideration to this the SER
vice corporation decided back the
Ament home, on Eighth street, to
Mrs. G. w. Ament, who pays c. w.
Ament $25, 900 clear and allows him
to retain thirty-five acres situated
where the municipal railroad crosses
the county road; C. G. Ament re-
ceives $40, out of which several
small land mortgages will be paid
M. C. Ament will receive 10000
The corporation releases all the
judgments had against the Ament
family, aggregating approximately
S105, 900, and also pays the unpaid
court expenses.
