Grants Pass Figures on Having Irs
Own Water Plant.
CiRANTS PASS. Or.. Jan. 8. -(Special.)
There Is a movement on foot among, the
Common Council to put It up to the property-owners
to vote whether the ciy shall
have municipal waterworks. This action
was taken by the Council at the meeting
January . at whl?h time one- of the
owners of the Rogue River Water Co. appeared-
before the body to discuss the
matter. " The Mayor' appointed a special'
committee to confer with the company's
oftVer on next Saturday, and a full re
port ts expected at the next Council
meeting, on January 16.
Municipal ownership of a water ninnf
it is thought, would meet the wishes of
the public, provided .the present plant
could be bought at a reasonable figure.
The question has been agitated hereto
fore, but the old system of waterworks
was worn out. The Rogue River Water
Comnany allege they have a first-class
plant Jhat would be sufficient to supply
the needs of the city for years. Just
what the outcome will be depends much
upon the price submitted to the Council
by the owners.

& Paper Company, which makes boUr"
manila .and news at .its mills at Oregm
City and Camas. It is stated that the

Friends Organize in Favor of John

. Fight for Ceattle Mayoralty.

gards the Republican Mayoralty cam
paign, was added to here today ' by the'
withdrawal from the race of L. H. Gray.
Humor was lent the situation by the fact
that Gray wrote a letter to W. P. Trim
ble, also a candidate, tending the latter
the support of Gray's friends. Tonight
the leaders In the Gray fight attended a
big meeting to organize the campaign of
John F. Miller and prominently Identified
themselves with, bis fight.
.Gray's application to have bis name
stricken from ' the primary election bal
lots baa been referred by the City .Con
troller to the Corporation Counsel. There
is some doubt as to whether or not this
can be done. In any event Gray will be
out the' $30 he paid as filing fee. The
primary law makes no' provision for an
action of this character and it is the opin
ion of lawyers that the general election
laws will govern. '

King County Republican Club. He gives
business demands as the reason for his
withdrawal, but he was never considered
