It Is op to the people of Crescent City and Del Norte county to get Im mediately busy and make good on their promises to Uncle Sam. If the promised and required 1100,000 Is placed In front of the authorities at the etarllest possible moment it will bring things to a quick and decisive finish, and work will be progressing upon the breakwater within a few months. There will be danger ln delay for It will Indicate that the de sire for faTorable action might not have been so great after all.. The development of the harbor at Cres cent City and the building of the railroad from Grants Pass are so closely associated tthat the people of this district are about as anxious for the one as the other, and they hare let no opportunity pass to aid ln the work. The putting up of $100,000 by the people of Del Norte county is a small matter as compared with the voting of 1200,000 by the city of Grants Pass. It should have a vote as unani mous In its favor as did the bond Issue here- white on the main street. Looting occurred with the rioting. In one brawl In the main street several soldiers were klllod and later two looters were shot. So furious was the mob that it attacked street cars, injuring a numoer or passen gers. Liquor fired the anger ot the Vllllsta garrison. Pushing their way into every saloon ln the town, they cleared them ot their goods and cleaned the tills ot money. Soon the commanders were unable to control the liquor-erased rioters. The usual raoea had to be post poned because of the disorder. General Villa, reported earlier to be in El Paso, Is expected here at any hour. THE CRUISE OP THE OSCAR II. The Oscar II has not been accord ed a very enthusiastic reception in Europe. , Naturally the belligerent nations are not going to exhibit an over-anxiousness to enter Into peace negotiations, or to welcome the medl ator who comes from a neutral na tlon. It Is the whipped dog that seeks the protection of the first refuge of fered, and none of the warring na tions will yet admit that it is any where near the stage of being whip ped. With suspicion for every one, doubt of every move, the belligerents are not going to meet Mr. Ford even half way. Each in turn will fear to show him even the courtesy that is , due him and his efforts that are directed ln behalf of humanity. They will expect that the world will inter pret a friendly act as a hand extend ed toward peace, weakening and a desire to find a place to stop. Henry had better follow the advioa of Judge Lindsay and turn bis ship into an orphan asylum. That is a game he can break into even It the dove does refuse to nest in the folds of the topsails of the Oscar II. P. A. Gaines, of Walla Walla, Wash., on his return from the Panama-Pacific International exposi tion, is making Grants Pass a short visit. Where here, be Is attending to the erection of a tombstone to the memory of his father, Albert Gaines, who died in Grants Pass some 21 years ago. The senior uames cross ed the plains with ox teams from Illinois and established his home near Oregon City, Oregon, in 1845. During the 1849 gold excitement in California, Albert Gaines, with some 20 other gold prospectors, made a trip into California, seeking their fortunes In some of the creek beds. Xot 'being successful, and having had several fights with the Indians, they held a pow-wow at Redding and de cided to return to Oregon. On their way back they camped on the grounds of what Is now known as Grants Pass. It happening that the date was July 4, Mr. Gaines, then known as "Uncle Albert," was selected to make the speech of the day. It may seem a strange thing to relate, but nevertheless it is true, that after a period of some 31 years Mr. Gaines moved to Grants Pass and made it his home until death, residing with his son-in-law, Colonel G. B. Currey, who at one time was editor and pro prietor of the Rogue River Courier. Mr. Gaines was born In Shenandoah county, Virginia, September 28, 1810. Many of the old residents of Grants Pass knew him well. F. A. Gaines Is looking for a place in which to locate, and has in view Grants Pass as a good business point It is hoped he may find something to his, liking and become permanently located here.
