The new Sugar Piae Factory started its wheels rolling Tuesday morning for the first time since the fire. Only three plainers and a small crew are at work as yet, but within a couple of weeks, the new box machines will be set up and the real work of the facto ry will begin. The local demand for dressed lumber and boxes will be supplied first Many box orders are being received from California, but these are being reject ed and will be uutil the home demand is supplied. The new factory is one of the best of its kind on the coast Its equipment is complete and the machinery of the latest pattern. Several new machines, never seen here before have been in stalled. The shriek of the new factory whistle is a welcome sound and pro. claims the fact that the fire fiend can not destroy the enterprise of the Sugar Pine people. DESCRIPTIVE PAMPHLETS. At the meeting of the directors of the Board of Trade Monday night aside from other matters of import ance, the question of whether the pledge recently made to the Harriman immigration bureau, to supply de scriptive pamphlets of Josephine coun ty, was considered. It was ' decided that the booklets should be issued at once, and a committee has been ap pointed by President Coe to take the matter in charge. The idea is to get out literature that will be a credit to the town and county. The Harriman railroad system has agreed to distrib ute them free of charge, whore they will do tho most good. It has reduced its transportation rates considerably, in order to give intending settlers evory inducement to visit the northwest Pa cific coast All that is asked of the people living here is literature for the perusal of those who wish to become of us. This is certainly a very reas onable request. Nearly every town in Oregon of ltXK) population and upwards has already taken stops to supply similar literature, many of them already having tho same in tho bauds of the immigrant agents. Wo certainly raunot afford now to re main unudvertiscd. It is to the inter est of the business men and property owners to help in this matter, and evoryono subscribing will be paid ten fold for the amonut expended. Be ready to subscribe your just proportion and help the good cause along. RAILROAD OR NO RAILROAD? Railroad or no railroad? That is the question confronting the citizens of Grants Pass, and there are some who manifest but little interest either one way or the other, at least that would be inferred from the gist of the meeting of the Board of Trade di rectors and interested parties at the office of Attorney A. C. Hongli last Monday night. J Aside from the five directors present were Mr. Hough, C. E. Harmon, and P. H. Harth. Mr. Harth, who has taken au active interest in the railroad matter Biuee it was first preseuted to the citizens, stated that aside from three or four men, no one has been doing anything toward soliciting sub scriptions to buy the yards and ter minals for the new road. The matter has come down to this: CoL Drajier said last Saturday, whon told that only about half of the requir ed amount had been raised, that unless a more active Interest was taken soon, he would withdraw his operations from Grants Pass and build his lino to another point. This would be a hard blow for Grants Pass. Evervone who has a dollar invested here should aid this enterprise as it will mean much for tho future development of this city and Joscphino county, as well as all Southern Oregon. Only about 11400 of the required 1000 has been raised. It seems that about the only reason that tho remain der lias not been subscrilxjd is owing to the fact that only a portion of the citizens hare been solicited. The committees appointed to solicit in the several wards are as follows: First Ward U. L. Coe, W. M. Hair. Second Ward-H. L. Gilkey. Third Ward T. P. Cramer, Harry Smith. Fourth Ward L. Jennings, August Fetscll. When these men come around don't show a long face but be liberal this one time at least. Tills is a matter in which every property . holder should feel a deep interest.

The crop bulletin for this week re ports for Ashland as follows: the past week has been a gTowing one, because of the flue rain of tho week before. Early apples have been In market for two wekes. Crawford peaches are In the market There Is no reason for changing the opinion as to the bonn tifuluess of evertyhing. Tho time-honored "Uncle Tom's Cabin" apjieared in Grants Pass Fri day and gave an exhibition nudor caiT vas on the depot grounds. Tho parade and band concert wore the leading features. The show proper, though oetter perhaps than the usual run of "Undo Toms," was not what it should have bcon. There was a serious lack of the plantation atmos phere that should accomjiany tho true representation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." A GENERAL MIX-UP. A general nilxup of runaway teams occurred on Sitxh street near Front Tuesday morning. The Hess parcel delivery team became frightened at the passenger train, and tho driver being absent just at that monuneiit, they struck off up the street. Their first intention seemed to be to enter Ira Tompkins' barber shop, but a horse and buggy belonging to F. G. Burns was standing in the way. They crashed into tho rig and promptly upset it, winding it around the barber pole. The horse broke loose from the sliafts and joined the runaways, knocking down and running over Geo, Yonkcrs, who was occupiyng tho middle of the street with his four horso team. There were now seven horses In terested In the matter and a fine op portunity was offered for a bad mix up, but some way it didn't material ise. All of tho animals became tired and wore soon brought to a standstill. About the only daiuago done was to the buggy and harness of F. G. Burns. Ira Tompkins' barber polo was also sqnoe-geed a little, but not beyond repair. FRESH COWS. Will exchange fresh cow for geutle work horso. Other fresh cows for sale. James Neeley, Jnmp-ofT-Joe.
