EUROPE'S WAR.
CCp5r2Ght 1870

TT seems as though the drcary war
| will never have all ending; the
peace, the world is longing for. no
white winged dove is sending. A year
ago we hoped and prayed that ere an
other summer the soldier would have
sheathed his blade and gone to work
as plumber. We saw the winter months
advance. and as the spring drew closer,
we hoped that he would soak his lance,
and open up as grocer And when the
vernal freshcts roared. we watched the
man in armor, and hoped that NE would
can his sword and get a job as farmer
Alas, our hopes were all in vain; the
world is mad and dizzy, and Europe
counting up her slain, is still suprcmcly
busy. II seems to me IL kings and czars
would hold friendly meeting. and pass
around some good cigars, first ono
then t'other treating, they soon might
end the beas,ly scrap that's kept the
world affrighted and fix the blamed
ding -switzled map so all would be dc
lighted But horse sense is a sacred
thing, a cure for war and dangers. to
which the captain and the king have
cyermore been STRANGERS.

The special meeting of the city council called for last night to ap- prove the plans and estimates for the oil room in connection with the new pumping plant and store house for the Le France engine adjourned with out tra1sacting any business. The reason was that Contractor Ross had been so busy working on the engine and pump for two days that he had not found time to make up the figures. The council will attend to this matter as soon as Councilman Ross gets his estimates ready and no work will be done until the council authorizes 1t in open meeting.

The new pumping plant was given a good tryout today anld proved en- tirely satisfactory not only to Con- tractor Ross who did the work with his assist 4nts but to the councilmen and other citizens who watched the thing perform. A test of forty min utes was given this forenoon and this afternoon a run of several hours was made. The water was turned into a city hydrant at the foot of Hunter way to which two lines of hose were attached. The lines were led toward the beach and 1t took three men to hold each nozzle so great was the pressure. Subsequently the nozzles were fastened to stanchions and al- lowed to squirt seaward as long as the test lasted. It was asserted that the pressure would fill two more lines of hose besides these. The dial on the pump showed a pressure of no pounds. One or two minor changes will be made and tomorrow probably, tto water will be turned Into the city main and exhaustive tests made to prove conclusively that everything works perfectly.

T EASTERN SUPPLY COMPANY 5Has;s' sises
Progress at Pass
Beet Sugar Mill

Grants Pass Observer: A new of
flee building is the latest addition to
the buildings at the sugar factory.
This building is forty feet square and
contains modern conveniences, a
large vault of concrete construction,
five rooms for office details and
bookkeepers and clerks, of which a
number will be needed in the sugar
making campaign. This is situated
at the south of the main building.
Nearly all the machinery is now in
place and will be ready for a tryout
before the month of September rolls
by. This if the railroad strike holds
off few days longer.
The parts most wanted now are
the beet slicer and the diffusion bat
teries. These have been three days
on the road from the manufacturers.
Should they fail to arrive into the
hands of the Southern Pacific before
Monday there will be no knowledge
of when they can arrive in Grants
Pass should the railroad men and
their employees fail to settle their
difficulties. However, as the beet
crop will not be very full one owing
to the lack of irrigation facilities,
the sugar-making campaign can COM
mence later, perhaps when the strike
is over.
The beet flume sare about done
The noticeable activity now is the
placing of the stringers upon which
train loads of beets will be run far
up over the fumes to unload.
The California & Oregon Coast
railway is employing a number of
men and teams making grades to
the fumes upon which tracks will be
constructed. There will be no COW
ering or roof over the fumes as the
mildness of the weather here does
not require such protection being
given either to the beets or the
fumes.
One hundred and fifty by three
hundred feet is the size on the
ground of the mammoth silo that is
being constructed to hold the beet
pulp for the farmers to feed out. A
number of workmen are now busily
engaged in laying the floor on this
space. Forty-five thousand square
feet would make some dancing floor
for the opening celebration.
Another week will show all things
fairly in order and better concep-
tion of the immensity of the institu-
tion can be more readily obtained.

Cattle "After
The War"

Live Stock World That the live
stock market is at present on a war
basis is not to be disputed. What
will happen when Europe reaches a
peace basis is a subject for discus
sion, also difference of opinion, but
1t must be obvious that as long as
the domestic Industrial situation
continues healthy beef will be re-
quired in large quantities. Over
production is impossible. Prices may
ease off, but If feeders operate with
reasonable caution they are not like

Australia has given the industry a
serious setback there. Canada is u.s.
ing about all the beef it can produce,
imports from South America have
been reduced to small volume, and
the few head of scrub steers that
dribble in from Mexico do not fur
nish enough product monthly to sup
ply an interior town with free lunch
Considerable fresh, picked
and canned beef is being exported,
and that trade will probably continue
for a considerable period after the
war.

Investigating
Roseburg Railroad

Umpqua Valley News ]. D. Nc
Vicar of Grants Pass, engineer fol
Twohy Bros, spent yesterday in this
city consulting with local men in re.
gard to the proposition of building
a railroad from Roseburg to Rock
creek. Mr.. McVicar is one of the
leading civil engineers of the coast
and his duties with Twohy Bros. is
to travel about the country locating
and investigating projects for the
company to handle.
Although refusing to make a
statement whether or not his COM
pany was interested in the Roseburg
& Eastern Railroad project, Mr..
McVicar intimated that a bid would
be made. He also spent consider
able time in investigating the many
mining and timber projects in this
vicinity The nature of the country
was given careful consideration not
only from the maps obtainable but
from conversation with men who are
well versed in the nature of the sur
rounding country.
Practically the entire morning was
spent in the office of City Engineer
l.. G.. Hicks, where he looked care
fully over the plans and specifica-
tions for the railroad.
The Twohy Bros Company is per-
haps one of the leading railroad
builders On the coast. They do not
spend their time and money on rail-
road construction and management
alone, but on mining and timber de-
velopment projects also, and their
coming always means an era of pros
perity for the community about
which they are working.
They are careful, conscientious
railroad builders, and should they
make a bid which is accepted by the
city council they will build the road
according to the plans and specifica-
tions as adopted.

Pioneer of 1875
Visits Ashland

]. @. Willis, brother of Rush, L. F
and w. w. Willis, all we'll known to
old-timers of Ashland, arrived in
Ashland last Wednesday morning
from Grants Pass. Forty-one years
ago August 81 Mr.. Willis left Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Iowa, for Ashland, arriv-
ing here on September 6, 1875. That
winter Mr.. Willis and Miss Kate
Thornton taught the Ashland public
schools of 1876 pupils. School was
held in the little building standing
on the site of the old South school
grounds in the block where the
White House grocery is now located.
The school board was composed Of
Lindsay Applegate, Robert Garrett,
Sr., and Mr.. Parham. w. w. Kent
nor, who for many years lived on
Granite street just around the corner
from Main, was the school clerk.
Mr.. Willis came to Ashland on
this trip to attend the Iowa picnic,
which unfortunately came week
earlier than he thought. The last
time Mr.. Willis was in Ashland was
the year after the present Chautau-
qua building was put up, and he had
not been up the canyon or in the
grove since the old flouring mill near
the plaza had been moved away. Mr..
Willis first wife was a sister of
George Dunn. He is now located at
Kerby, Ore, with his family and is
teaching the high school at that
place. Mr.. Willis states that the
chifef industry at Kerby now is the
shipping of chrome and copper ore.
Seventeen carloads of chrome of AZ
tons each have been shipped from
the mine near Holland since July IL
and is all freighted through Kerby
by team for a distance of about 80
miles from the mine to the terminus
of the railroad at Waters creek.
About 100 tons of copper ore per
week is being shipped from the
Queen of Bronze mine near Takilma
