A SMAKT IIOKSH, (From Port I'mpqua Courier.) The intelligence of a horse was never better portrayed than that shown by one of the horses used In hauling cars of coal at tunnel 7. It Is customary at a certain point on the track to unhitch the horse from the car and let him go on ahead of the car, being a down grade the car runs without assistance. A short time ago the car got beyond control, and started down the grade with in creasing speed. The old horse saw the car coming directly for him. At. this time the horse was walking a plan on a high trestle; the car was near'y on him; there was no chance to get out of the way of It. What did he do, as the car was coming at full speed? He did the only thing that be could have done to save hini selr; he waited until Ihe car was within a foot or so of him, then jumped up directly into the air, alighting on top of the car of coal and was carried to a place of safety. Many a man would not have had the presence of mind as old "Neal" had under the saae cimiuisinnces. It is a pretty good thing to have "horse sense" once ami a while.

Grants Pass Observer: Flags were flying ami a jubilee was on in Grants Pass yesterday. Word was received early in the forenoon from Salem that the $200,000 city bond Issue, me proceeds or which are to be used In constructing a municipal steam railroad from Grants Pass to Wilder vilte and thence through the moun tains to the coast and harbor at Crescent City, had been confirmed by the Supreme Court. The issue of tho bonds was at tacked at every point In a friendly suit to test completely tho validity of the proceedings from the inception to the contract with Dr. Keddy. The"' court, with tho exception of Justice Ramsey, sustained the city on all points and validates the bonds be yond any question ami removes all doubt as to the success of the pro jected road. Dr. lteddy says nothing can now atop our getting to the coast with a substantial railroad. Engineer Har mon went out along the line this morning to prepare to put the con struction crews at work as soon as possible. When completed this road will open up the country for the develop ment of Its untold resources nnd give transportation for all the products of the rich and fertile valleys which the road will traverse. It will furnish an outlet for tho great abundance of rich copper ore in the Waldo district and put more energy In the gold min ing enterprises. In addition It will bring millions of timber to its mar ket. It is difficult to comprehend at a glance what possibilities nro ahead for this whole region. The greatest gain will bo to the oiftlying country whose development Is awaiting trans portation nnd irrigation at reasonable cost. All eyes are on us now and Grants Pass must and will make good. itKset'i WORK AT ECCLES ihh MINE CONTINUES. HCCI.HS, W. Vn., Mny t. llescue crows lust night.
