TELLS OF THE FIRST
FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATION HERE
SHOULD MEET THE DEMAND.
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.
