Mayor Rose today gave out an interview in which he attacked the grand jury and s methods, bitterly. He took the tieter ami Srhultz cases, with the statement of J. P. Stamm as a text, say ing: "If it be true, as Mr. Parry, loreman of the grand jury, in a published inter view, seems to concede that there was no evidence before the grand jury show ing any criminal nse of the 1 14,000 by Mr. Pti-ter, and that he was indicted merely because the grand jury was sus- The "system" used by the officer in charge was the selecting of the first twelve by the individual score, and the other three were selected "at random." As Sergeant Grubb was the thirteenth man on the list on his merits his head was knocked oS and three under him preferred Corporal Honck of Roeebnrg. who stood loth, the last on the list, and Sergeant Liveely of Woodburn, who stood lSth and Capt. Scott of Portland who stood 19th There were 20 contest ants and 15 men were to be selected. The other member who won the honors of the trip bat was deprived of the same was Corporal Johnson of Roeebnrg, who stood 14th. Sergeant Grubb wishes his friends to know why be is in Ashland anl not pre paring for the trip to New Jersey. The result of the "tryout" has caused severe criticism and an investigation may be asked from the higher officers. The selection of the team for the na tion shoot was made by djutant-general Finzer and Maj r Baker, state inspector of rifle practice, and was characteristic of the award of the state cap fail ly won by the Roeeburg team at Portland last year and awarded to Salem. Sach work of favoriteism should receive as much attention from the people of Oregon as the aiieged timber land graft. As truly stated in the above article, Sergeant Grubb oi Ashland and Corporal John son of Roeebnrg, were robbed of a trip tested to the governor and several prominent and influential democrats al- , the town chief executive and several letters have been received from the Governor stat ing tbat the businees was entirely out of his jurisdiction but that he had taken the matter up with General Finzer as he wished to see fair play regardless of the rank of the men. In another letter he stated that Roseburg should have but little kick as they were already sented by four men on the team. Oregon should send the best shots iu the state to Seagirt, whether they all came from Portland. Roeeburg, Ashland or any other town in Oregon. The Roseburg men won their places in what was be lieved to be a fair, square open contest and the four men at the end of the practice wesk here stood in first, se.ond, fifth and sixth pUces, while Liveely, oi Woodburn occupied last place with barely IM percent to bis credit, while not one! of the Roseburgers had fell be low 70 per cent. Capt- Scott has done fairly well, being in the 12th place at the finish of the practice with 71 4-7 per cent. It is al together probable that should he attend to business and see less of high life under the gaslight, he would be among the best shooters in the team. Johnson and Grubbe won places on the team through merit, and when Johnson pro tested to Major Baker in regard to Capt. S. Bean, Justice of the Supreme Court , pfcloai that he had made some corrupt 1 use ot it, then a greater outrage was ! never i.er net rated in the nams of thi ! resident of I.ane county from an early age.

Is Oregon to spend money to send her best shots in eastern competition or is the money to be spent to give the officers and favorites an outing? General Finzer after due consideration of the protests has pigeon-holed them with tiovernor Chamberlain's consent, until the officers and favorites and the few men of merit return from their outing. LOWEST LIGHT RATES IN OREGON GRANTS PASS j OUTLOOK FOR BREWERY BURNED BOHEMIA SMELTER ! Grants Pass, Aug. 11. The Eagle Brewing Company's fine plant across the river at this place was destroyed by ! . fire Thursday. August Fetsch, the owner of the plant was absent in San Francisco at the time having been called there on business some time ago. The plant was total loss as nothing hat a slot machine was saved from the flames. The lose is said to be about $10, 400, $4000 of which is covered by insur- i auce. It is probable the company will rebuild the plant in the near future. Bartender is Under Arrest. Grants Pass, Aug. 12. Henry Smith was arrested for arson as a sequence of the destruction by fire Wednesday night of the brewery, ice works and saloon, owned and operated by August Fetsch. i Smith was bartender for Fetsch. He was arrested Thursday night as he was boarding the northbound train to leave the city. Several features connected with the burning of the establishment, together with Smith'e contradictory statements, led to bis arrest. Fetsch had been in San Francisco for the past week, seek ing a partner in his brewery business, and ie to arrive home today. Smith's examination will probably be held Monday. The Cottage Grove Commercial Club held a business meeting last Monday night with full attendance, A. B. Wood presiding. A communication was read from F. D. Fuller of Sumpter, presideut of the Ore gon Smelting and Refining Company, regarding the establishment of a smelter and the club ordered the secretary to write Mr. Fuller tbat they would like to have him visit the Bohemia district at the expense of the clnb and the Bohe mia mine owners, at the earliest possi ble date with a view of theestablishment of a smelter at this point. It is under stood that this can be done very soon. One thousand of the new pamphlets ' i ; were ordered sent to Dr. Oglesby at Portland for distribution. A committee of four was appointed to attend to the proper distribution of the pamphlets is sued by the club. The clnb is having great demand for these pamphlets. It was moved and carried that the proposition presented by Mr. Robinson in the interest of the Portland smelter house which has recently been reorgan ize 1 ife referred to the mining commit tee, consisting of A.

The company furnishes light for Central Point, Medford. tiold Hill and Jacksonville Irom the tiold hay Power plant. The price for candle power lights is only $1 nO for 10 lights, being 15 cents a light for 10 lights, or $1 a month for 5 lights. Tl e city pavs only $4 50 a month for fifteen :i2-candle power lights.

Justice of the Supreme Court of Oregon, as I'nited Slate Judge for the District of Oregon. Although it is impossible to confirm -pusitiscly this belief, the facts point to 1 that concluion. Mr. Moody admits that he has sent all the papers in the case to President Koosevelt, and has recommended the appointment of a certain one of the can didates. He refuses to tell who this one is. but he is said to have informed Sena tor Pulton whom he has recommended The President may delay action on this recommendation for several days, for he is insistent that the beet man available be selected, and is likely to give the subject thorough consideration' and to canvass the abundance of other materia before fiually making the ap pointnieot.

In the laat two or three davs a number of residents of Salem have received letters from United States Senator Fulton, in which it ie staled incidentally that the appointment of Supreme Judge K S. Bean to the Federal Judgeship is practically certain. The letters indicate that e;sator Kul'on has definite and certain information from Washington npon the nbjod for assurances that the app"intmet.t w ill be made have been conveyed to close friends of Judge Fean. It is the prevailing opinion here that Governor Chamberlain will appoint T. i Hallev, of Pendleton, as Eean's suc cessor, though the Governor has not expressed himself upon the subject. the Mayor, "and bitten ess engendered by reason thereof, it looks very much as though the grand jury was moved by I vindicativeness or revenge." After chargirg favoritism for a local paper, the Mayor closed wit ii a few re marks on the Stamm case. He said : "If the statement of Mr. Stamm and other witnesses, whose teetitnony can be obtained, showing in effect that the grand jury stands ready to promue im munity to indicted persons if they will give testimony involving public officials, ! can be believed, then each conduct can ' only be characterized as villainous. If : it is not subornation of perjury, it ap 1 preaches so close to the line ae to make the distinction a fiction. ' I The above calls to mind a similar proceeding enacted at Portland in the late timber land fraud indictments in which Mr. Heney employed some very questionable methods in order to bring about the indictment of certain Oregon politicians. The actions of tbe Portland grand jury and tbe prosecuting attorneys are no less subject to sharp criticism. Tbe city council of Albany has pased an ordinance imposing a license on $500 a year on trading stamp operators, and $100 on merchants making use of trad ing stamps. A fine of $100 land impris onment for thtrtv davs in jail is the j penalty tor the violation ot the ordi- I nance. A COUNTY WHICH DOES THINGS NO HENEYISM IN MONTANA On his way north to the Tacoma smelter with another large ship ment of ore from his mine W. B. Stewart, and the ore shipment, was given the following notice by a Portland paper: "The third shipment of ore from the Continental mine, near Myrtle Creek in Douglas connty, has been made to Tacoma, and Manager W. B. Stewart stated this morning that the carload would net the company about $100 a ton. Tins ore is from the oxidized zone, which is close to tbe surface, and was all removed from the old tunnels driven on the Continental in the early pros pect date of the mine. The company will realize about $3,000 for tbe lot, which is a neat figure for the manage ment of any yoong mine, and especially one that is just commenci.if shipment. The Continental, by putting on the mar ket such a uniformly high-grade ore be fore the commencement of milling, is famishing the beat of all evidence that Myrtle Creek district will be an impor tant factor in the gold production of Southern Oregon. Grading for tbe concentrator site is well advanced, and tbe machinery for from the time it enters the mill bin until tbe tailings reach the waste laun der. Development, which is continued steadily, is revealing ore that assures a big reserve of both shipping and milling grades. Tbe main shaft has reached a depth of 190 feet, 0 feet below the low radit level. No erosacat has been made at the bottom, but a drive on tbe 150 level proved the walls to be 30 feet apart, and there the vein carried eight feet of good ore. This shaft will be put down to the 200 level before tbe next crosscut is made, and there drifts will be extended on the vein in both directions. On tbe 15-foot winze sank on tbe portal of tbe 500-foot crosscut there is $100 ore. and in the 80-foot shaft and two tunnels this plant is being delivered. Tbe mill ; driven farther urj the hill there is $.00 is to be situated just below tbe collar of tbe shaft, and above the portal of tbe lower adit. This will give ample damp ore, some of which was recently sent to the Tacoma smelter.

American surgeons, connected with the Board of Health de clare that they have discovered a posi tive cure for leprosy. Of 25 cases treated, all have improved, six cases be ing absolutely cared. Several patients. portions of whose bodies were gone, have recovered. All of the cases have been under ob servation for at least six months, and it is absolutely impossible to discover a trace of the germs of tbe disease in the blood of the patients. Tbe method need is a system of X-rays. . Toe surgeons do not desire their names to be mentioned at present. Thev will not ask for the rewards which have been long offdred by various govern ments for a cure for leprosy. As far as reported, Boggs Brothers of Harrisburg will be the firrt to commenre picking hops in tbe upper valley this year. They announce that they will commence on their early Fugles on Monday, Aug. 21, and are now ad vei lie in for pickers. Work on the later varieties will not be begun for two or three weeks alter that.

As a result of the correspondence l tween the Ashland Board of Trade and the Jackson countv court over the mat ter of keeping up the fresh fruit supply from this section of Ja ks n's exhibit at tbe Lewis and Clark fair the county court at its last session agreed to stai d four-fifths of the expense and the Asl. land Board of Trade one fifth of the ex pense. Tbe expenditure on the part of tbe county is not to exceed $100 per month. The Board of Trade is to lie charged with the amount and at the end of each month or at the regular ses sion of the county court the bills will In audited. The county court is to pay only for fruit and none of the countv money is to go toward the spending of any of this money for gathering or ship ping the same The county court thinks that if the people are not w illing to do something for the exhibit at the Lewis and Clark lair that they should not ex pect itie county court to do it all. As planned now the proportion of expenses is that the county court will nay $100 per month to $25 per month to be paid by the Ashland Board of Trade, the Board of Trade to attend to the gather ing, purchasing and shipping This seems to be a reasonable allow ance and our fruit raisers should meet the connty court and Hoard of Trade in a iair spirit and gave the best of their orchards and fields. Under this ar rangement the grower is not expected to contribute his fruit but he gets his pay. This is surely reasonable and it is more than probable that none will ob ject to giving the Board of Trade the beet they have raised for this public spirited purpoee.

Benron is alleged to have of fered to furnish Secret Service Agent Burns with damaging evidence against Senator Mitchell and to testify against Hyde and other Californians.
