NEW FACTORY STARTS UP.
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.

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.
