TBE "A-IVTEEIM" AD- THE COCBT
hocsi: QUESTION.
"Neither of the Jacksonville papers
dm the courage to "cheep" on the
Court House matter. As it is a sub
ject of much interest to the people of
the county it is palpably a most proper
one for public discussion, and
it ia amusing to see our cotem
poraries treat it with timorous,
anxious silence. They are very bold
in expressing opinions about the dis
tress in Ireland, the tail of the comet,
keta Any such important matter as
1 expenditure of 20,000 of the coun
ty's money should hardly be enveloped
an secrecy.
The above is from the Ashland
"idings of J uly 8, and lost our contin
ued silence give bur Granite City co-
Bmporary further uneasiness, we has-
IU11 to "speak out," as so much seems
depend on or opinion. We will
be pardoned, however, if we say at
lie start, that if our opinions
whicbj by the way, we wish
to foist upon no one will prove
the means of allaying the appre
hensions which seem to prevail among
ome of our up-country friends,, we shall
b content.
And first and foremost, we are free
to tell our friend, that we are in favor
of a new Court House at the county
seat, just as soon as the same can be
built consistenly with the public, inter
est, the structure to be of sufficient ca
pacity to hold the various county offi
ces, to transact all the public business
and to keep safe the records of the
county. Furthermore, we are in favor
of building ijot beyond, but within the
means of tho county. Our present
patched up Court House has outliyed
its usefulness. A lifetime ago, when
omr pupulation was 1200, the accom
modations of the present Court House
were sufficient;, but since our popula
tion has increased to nearly eight
times that number, the accommoda
tions are certainly insufficient, and the
valuable records of the county are in
differently sheltered- and protected
against fire.
Our cotemporary, in h'is issue- of
several weeks ago, acknowledges the
need of a new Court House, but sets
up the pica of poverty. He argues
that the people are unable, financially,
to shoulder the expense of such an un
dertaking at this time. He draws a
sorrowful picture of the sufferings of
the nfcople of Jackson count- Kwmaht
rSn tr.-.n by drought, snort crops, in
jury by flood' and other providential
afflictions. We did not know until
the Tidings informed us that we were
in. such a deplorable condition. And
our only wonder is that in drawing this
lamentable picture of desolation, his
fertile imagination did not think of the
ravages of the squirrels, grasshoppers
and gophers. Up to the time the Tid
ings broached this question we thought
the people cf Jackson county were gen
erally in a proserous condition and
that a moderate sum judiciously expen
ded on our public buildings would not
be much of a burden, especially where
the people had two or three years to
pay in. But it seems we were mistaken,
and it further seems we will have to play
on the key-note of poverty, just to keep
the authorities from- acting upon this
matter. But, seriously, our Ashland
cotemporary need not worry about this
Court House business. Judge Day,
against whom his shafts are principally
levelled, has not the back bone nor
the County Commissioners the energy
to tackle this matter. No new Court
House for the people of Jackson coun
ty for the next generation. We can
assure our friends up the valley, that
if they can stand the old rickety Court
House, we can stand it, too. Let us
have peace.
-
BISECT WACO.V KOAD TO THK COAST.
Horace Gasquet, of Del Norte coun
ty, Cal., and Charles Hughes of Jose
phine county, came up on Wednesday
in the interest of the Crescent City
wagon road project. As the citizens
of Crescent City have shown so little in
tercst in the construction of the road,
and the citizens of Smith River harbor
are desirous of having the road ex
tended to that place and are willing to
bear their proportion of the expenses,
Mr. Gasquet is here trying to get the
consent of the subscribers fit Jackson
county to make the change. The
change would necessitate the construc
tion of six miles of road from Mr. Gas-
quet's ranch, to a point where it inter
sects the wagon road leading to Smith
River harbor. We hope Sir. Gasquet
may have success in presenting the case
to our citizens in its proper light, and
that no further delay in the work may
be experiened. The distance from
Waldo to the coast on the proposed
change to Smith River harbor will be
much less than to. Crescent City, and
the cost of construction will be cor
respondingly less. Let us hear all
about the new route.
KOBE ABOUT BAISIXG HORSES.
We said in our last that the Rogue
River valley was the best country for
raising good- horses anywhere to be
found. We have not changed our
opinions in this respect, but have an
additional reason to urge why wo be
lieve this to be so. Aside from our
excellent climate we mention the nu
tritiousaess of our horse feed, notably
that of the grasses both cultivated' and
uncultivated kinds. Also the total ex
emption of those annoying flies, gnats
and mosquitoes go common in marshy
localities, which suck the blood and
worry the life out of an animal in
the spring and summer months, and
keep them thin.
We have heard one prominent horse
man say that he believed Jay Beach
made a mistake that he did not locate
his splendid stock ranch somewhere in
this valley, instead of the Klamath
Basin, with its myriads of. bloody brute
tormentors, in the shape of musquitoes,
gnats and flies. Mr. Beach's stock
would certainly have done better here
than where it is.
Some of the horsemen of the valley,
are just now discussiug tho propriety
of forming a company, the object of.
which shall be to introduce not less
than two-stallions from. abroad, one of.
a thoroughbred family and the othor a
Hamiltonian and at least two fillies- of
each family. They would like to have
them hero by the time the horse fair
and races take place in September at
Cardwell and Flitner's track.
THE FEESIDE.NT .STILL IHI'UOII.fC.
Our latest advices from Washington
are to the effect that President Gar
field has passed the danger point
and that ho continues to improve from
day to day. His recovery from the
effect of the assassin's bullet is now
confidently looked to by his physicians.
The bulletins from the sick chamber
bearing date of the 12tb and 13th
are as follows:
July 12ih The President is still
making gratifying progress towards re
covery. His symptoms yesteraay did
not differ materially from those of the
last few days. There was a slight in
crease of fever during the afternoon,
but this did not continue into the
night.. He partook of considerable
nourishment which was retained with
out inconvenience. Tho consulting
surgeons express themselves as satisfied
with the condition of the patient.
July 13. The President is better
than since he was shot. Bl'ss sees
marked improvement. His condition
is nearly normal. The President ate
some woodcock and toast ito-day, be-
- I.IV.M UIIU &U... Ai- ll. -.
steadily and necessarily slowly improv
ing. This is the twelfth day, and the
day on which a turn in such wounds
usually occur. Surgeons 6ay the indi
cations are of a change for better.
The 1 o'clock bulletin shows that the
hot weather does not arrest continued
improvement Fever lower than lately
in the middle of the day; pulse 100,
temperature scarcely 100 and surgeons
think tho increase this evening will be
very slight.
r
Jny Gould nnd Oregon.
The Portland Mercury of recent
date says "a confidental agent of Jay
Gould, the railroad autocrat, has been
in the city during the week taking
notes for the information of his astute
employer. This agent, who is an ex
perienced railroad man, says that
Gould's road will reach Portland fully
two months before either of the other
lines is finished. He has been throu;
the States and adjoining Territories
and apK?ais to be strongly impressed
with what he baw, our w onderful re
sources and the prosperity abounding
on all sides. If Gould is determined
to keep his promise he will have to
wake ud and commence operations
without loss of time.
A majority of the Republicans of
the Empire State, after five weeks of
fruitless ballotings to fill the vacancies
in the U. S. Senate, occasioned by
Conkling and Piatt's resignattfllishave
held a caucus and agreed to head
their differences by setting aside both
Conkling, Piatt, Depew and others,
and uniting upon "Warner Miller for
the long term and Lapham for the
short term, to which arrangement
about 30 stalwart Republicans object.
They will compromise on Grant and
Wheeler, but not on Miller and Lap
ham. The return of two Republicans
from New York would leave the Sen
ate stand as before, 38 to 38, with
Vice-President Arthur to give the
casting vote.
The Portland mayoralty is still in
doubt. First we had it that Simon
had nine majority; then, that a mistake
of ten votes had been discovered in
favor of Thompson, giving the election
to that gentleman by one majority. But
a still later count bhowed fiimon one
vote ahead, and that gentleman was
declared elected by the City Council.
But the ihompson men oppose this
action on the ground that there was one
fraudulent vote polled in the 2d ward
and counted for Simon. If this vote
is finally thrown out that w ill tie the
mayoralty and a new election will be
the result. In the mcantine, Thomp
son holds on to the position with re
markable tenacitv.
In Memory of George E. Brlzgi.
BALL OF BELT LODGE NO. 18 A. F. AND
A. M. KKSOLUTIONS TO THE MEMORT
OF BRO. GEO. E. BRIGGS.
Whereas, our Brother Geo. E.
Briggs, after a lingering illness and at
the ripe age of nearly three core and
ten years, has been stricken by the
hand of death, and will no longer be
seen in our midst, and whereas Bro.
Briggs has been widely known as one
of the pioneers of this county, and one
who bore his part in the bufferings and
trials of a new and unsettled country.
Therefore be it:
Resolved, That while we have lost
a member who at one time, was an
active worker and bore his part in the
labors of this Lodge, and contributed
his share in promoting its wellfare, we
must be reconciled to the decree that
has called him hence.
Resolved, That as free and accepted
Masons, we tender to the family of our
departed Brother, our sincere sympa
thies, in this their time of berevement
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be spread on the minutes

OF M. B. TAYLOR, SO. 141, HillMOX
TON NEW JERSEY.
Whereas, death, the inevitable de
stroyer of all that is near and dear to
humanity, has again visited our pre
cincts, and carried from our sight for
ever our friend and Brother E. D.
Redman, who although a comparative
stranger amongst us, had by his up
right conduct, his mauly bearing and
other virtues endeared himself to us as
a Mason and good citizen, Therefore be
it:
Resolved, That while we are com
pelled to submit to the mandate of
death, in this removal of our Brother
from among us we cannot but mourn
his sudden and untimely end.
Resolved, That we as members of
the fraturnity of ftee and accepted
Masons, tender our sincere sympathies
to the bereaved one, who above all
others, is left to mourn the loss of a
loving husband.
Resolved, That a copy of theso res
olutions, be spread upon the minutes
of this Lodge, and that a copy be sent
to the Lodge of which our deceased
.Brother was a member, and tne mem

olutions be sent to each of the news

A lunatic named Griscom is trying
to starve himself at Chicago. At noon
July 7th ho had entered upon the -tlst
day of his fast. Since the commence
ment of his foolhardy enterprise he has
lost 44J pounds. His only nourish
ment is water.
ANOTIIEU STAGE ACCIDEKT.
The stage which left Yreka at 9:30
on Sunday night last, when going along
Anderson's grade, Klamath river, upset
turning over several times before halt
ing. This section of the road follow
the circuitous windings of the Klamath,
800 or 1200 feet above the waters of
that stream. It appears a stump of
an old tree had become detatched from
its position on the side of the moun
tain and had rolled into the middle of
the road. It was between 12 and 1
o'clock at night when tho accident oc
curred, and although the moon was
shining brightly, yet the character of
the road is such that the driver could
not see 20 feet ahead. The horses
coming suddenly on the obstruction got
frightened, jumped off the grade, and
Went down the precipice for a short
distance. There were three passengers
on when the accident happened: a Mrs.
Davenport, of Phoenix, Arizona, who
was on ner way to visii ner oaugnter
in this county, Mrs. James Ivory: a
Mr. Moody, on his way to Washing
ton territory, a boy of 16, and the
driver, John Sullaway. Every one on
board won more or less injured except
tho boy who was not hurt much. Air.
Moody was thought, fl b S"rrly h
jured and was taken back to Yreka
for medical treatment. Mrs. Daven
port although quite painfully hurt on
shoulder and breast and her left elbow
dislocated, was brought through to
Jacksonville, where Dr. Aiken set her
elbow. She complains of a severe pain
in the breast, and fears she has sus
tained some internal injuries. She
was very anxious to get to her daugh
ters, 8 miles in the country, where
she could be nursed. From Mrs. Dav
enport we get most of the facts above
narrated. She says she thinks the
stage turned 4 or 5 times with her be
fore stopping, and that she suffered
most from a loose box or package that
struck her on the breast at every turn
of the descending stage. She was
hardly in a condition to be conveyed
to her daughters, but she insisted,
against the advice of the doctor.
Considering the steep banks and the
great elevation of the road it is only a
wonder that all did not tumble into
the river and get killed. Driver Sul
laway is ono of the most careful on the
lino and no blame can he attached to
the company as the accident could not
have been avoided.
