Rogue River valley is full of Oil,
Natural Gas, Artesian water and
other valuable minerals.
Nature's storehouse is bulgiug
out with wealth and only needs the
, magic hand of man to unlock and
reveal the hiddeu wealth stored up
for the use of the Twentieth Cen
tury. Our arid lauds will produce won
ders if we once can procure Arte
sian water to supply abundance of
' water with which to irrigate-
Oil and' Natural Gas aie the
greatest economical fuel of this
generation. Shall we let it be dor
mant here in Rogue River valley,
while other sections ot the country
are using nature's storehouses?
Oregon cannot be beaten any
where in the world, forualural Gas,
Oil or Artesian water. Rogue River
valley is truly the Italy of America
Here we have the finest climate, the
. best apples, . the largest peaches
and the prettiest girls.
snail ine people 01 urants l'ass
forever continue to drink the slime
and slush and sewage that pours
into Rogue river while we can have
the best of Artesian mountain water
by the very simple process of diil
ling a few hundred feet?
What a beautiful city' Grants
Pass would be if there were a stream
of pure Artesian water flowing
along each side of her streets.
It is tho intention of The Oregon
Nature. 1 Gis, Oil & Mining Co. to
soon begin active ooeration of dril
ling a number ot i Is to the depth
of 1000 feet to ascertain the pres
ence of Natural , Gas, Oil, Artesian
water and other valuable minerals.
They are now bonding land in
and around Grants Pass. Within
the next six months they will be
drilling on some of the property
they have bonded fur that purpose.
They intend if it is possible, to
supply the city with plenty of pure
Artesiaa water before the coming
fall. '
The Oregon Natural Gas, Oil
& Mining Co requests nil fanners
and property holders to give them
the privilege of drilling one or more
wells on their property. They
will give a percentage of the
output of ihe wells to pa 1 ties
granting the privilege,
In order' to get the people of
Grants Pass and Josephine county
interested in Natural Gas, Oil, and
Artesian water they will give all of
them a chance to subscribe for a
few shares of the capital stock of
the cum pan v on very liberal terms.
Suppose you take a few shares of
the capital stock of The Oregon
Natural Gas, Oil & Mining Co. of
the par value of $1 per share.
You pay 10 per cent, down, 40 per
cent, when the machinery is set up
and is ready to begin operation and
the remaining 50 per eent. when
tney strike a now ot natural gas,
oil or artesian watet or have drilled
to the depth of 1000 feet. If they
strike oil, natural gas or artesian
water you have the option of tak
ing ten times as many shares asyou
subscribe fot. They will pay you
back all the money received from
you if they fail to drill a well as
agreed upon.
You are invited to thoroughly
investigate their proposition. Yon
have nothing to lose but every
thing to gain. If you are a cap
italist it is a safe investment. If
you are a farmer or property holder
it will pay you to invest as it will
enhance the value of your place a
hundred fold more ban you invest
if they should find either oil, gas
or water near your property. If
you are a working man it will pay
you to take shares as this will open
up a vast and a new work for you.
The merchants and buMncss men
should invest in shares in order to
start this enterprise. Professional
men, in fact all clashes of people,
should take a few shires in this
vast and new enterprise and it will
be a help to all in Grants Pass and
Jo-ephine county. If you cannot
take 100 shares you can talc- 50 or
ten shares. Remember every dollar
will be returned to you if the com
pany fails to drill a well as agreed
upon. The stocks are non-assessable
and fully, paid up as they are
used. The by-laws of the com
pany do not allow a debt to ex
ceed 1 per cent of the capital.

A bill from .1. W. l'artlow of 3 50 for
printing circular letleia was reported
unfavorably by two of the three mem
be.-s of the finance commttee. The
circulars referred to were those sent out
just previous to the special election,
advising the people to vote for a chemi
eul engine. The circular was signed by
members of a former Investigating
committee who had been previously
discharged. The bill was opposed on
the ground that, as the circular advo
cated one of four propositions presented,
it should be considered merely as a
partisan campaign document and that
the city should not be required to pay
for It. Its friends, however, tuke a con
trary view and cite the printing of Ihe
charter as a parallel caee. A motion to
disallow the bill was lost. Votinir

Now Baseball Rules.
luu new baseball rules llus year
will shorten the game about half an
hour, making an averatie game an hour
and a half long. Tho rules which do
this are Ihe ones which make Ihe follow
ing strikes: Afoul hit bull not caught
on the My, unless two strikes have
alieady been called, a bunt hit ball
which nettles on foul ground; a ball
struck at, bitting any part of Ihe bats
man, and a foul tip caught by the
catcher. These rules keep (himis
moving very fast. Another important
rule is an out fur tho striker who makes

Does it Fav to Uuy Cheap?
A cheap remedy for coughs snii colds
is all right, but you want something
that will relieve and cure tho more
severoand dangerous results of throat
and lung troubles. What shall you do?
(o to a warmer and more regular
climate 7 Yes, if possible; if not possible
for you, then in either case take the
only remedy that has been introduced
in all civilized countries with success ill

event of its character in our city.
The entertainment was opened by two
optra'le selection, rendered in a most
pleasing manner by Deinareu's orchestra
of MX pieces.
Tne Degree of Honor drill, given by

curately executed and Iho perfection ol
.his feature ritl cted great crejit both
on the aplncs of the ladies participating
and li e thorough and accurate inslruc

the city the first of the week in the
interest of the district fair.
It is the Intention of the stale fair
people to make an unusual ellbrt this
year to have the largest and most credit
able fair ever held in the state. It ia

tinguished visitors w ill be hero from the
east at that time to examine into the
resources of the state and inspect the
exhibits at the fair. In view of this
fact the management is anxious to make
the best showing possible. The people
of the First Southern Oregon district have
been urged to hold a fair and ship the
best exhibits to the state fair. It is
learned that arrangements have been
made with the railroad company by
which all exhibits w ill be shipped free
of co9t both ways.
The new members ol the Southern
Oregon district . board Lbave) just been
appointed by the governor and it is prob
able a meeting will be called for next
Saturday to organize. Nothing definite
can be known concerning the fair until
after the board meets and organlr.es.

Lecture for Woodmen.
John P. Meakin, head camp lecturer
for the Woodmen of the World, delivered
a leclurd before the members of that
order and their friends on Friday eve
ning at the A. O. U. W. hall. The at
tendance was quite large, appreciably
taxing the sealing capacity of the hall.
Mr. Meakiu's lecture was greatly
appreciated by his audience, lie has a
thorough knowledge ol his subject and a
marked facility of presentation. As a
story teller, his talent was very evident.
His audience was well pleased by his
lecture and remarks.

ILL. Wilson has begun to sell goods
at his new store. We see a vast dilfer-

porate,! towns they can alford lo sell
cheaper if they don't get too avaricious,
We think Jones of Portland will miss
our trade.
Our recent rains were just what ti e
farmers needed altliough crops were

look, there will be big crops in this
vicinity. Tho peach crop will be light

people are planting more potatoes than
Heretofore. Sending away for farm pro-
lucis takes away just so much money

SPIDER TIME IN MANILA.

rets Fight. ,
When "spider time" arrives the Fil
ipino boy is happy. He does not know
much about marbles, but when spider
time arrives, and that ia just after the
rainy season begins, he knows that
he Is to have great sport. There are
two harmless varieties of spiders that
are green and yellow in eo'.or that ma
ture In June. They are as large as the
common black spider so plentiful in
California. The Filipino boy catches
these and keeps them secure In a box.
A small rod the aire and length of a
knitting needle Is procured. A spider
li then placed on the rod. Another boy
comes along and he bets a eent that
his spider wid whip. says the San Jose
(Cal.) Mercury. Then the sport be
gins. The boy who Is challenged produces
his spider, plnces it on th rod with
the challenger's. Kach spider makes
a rush for the other and a fierce bat
tle ensues. Sometimes the stronger
of the two will wind a web around the
other, fastening him to the rod and
completely "putting him out of busi
ness." The spiders snmetimts fight for
Iru minutes. Nearly every boy has
from eight to ten spiders, sad they
list all the Filipino pennies they can
get on the result of the fight.

his horss in the roud before the house.
The dog rushed out madly, barking
ami Ihii-uli-nlng to jump into the
sleigh. The minister sat in his sleigh

tired, returned to the assault, retired
again, and a third time rushed out
to Ihe attack, but diil not touch the
man. Then he returned to the door
step and laid down, apparently utter

Ihis the minister drove ninny times
past the house, but the dog paid no
iiltiutioii lo him, and never seemed
to ace him at all. He wna cured.
