Building Operations in Grants Pass.
This is 11 soften tf great building
activity in Grunts Pass. The carpou
tor's li.immrr and saw and tlir nmsou's
trowi-1 are building np UrantH Pass in
a manner that bids much for the city.
otvitlistandiii; tho fact that this
has boon an "off your'' for builders,
more houses are being erected than
ever before, in tho towu's history in
tho same spice of time. The burning
of the Sugar Pine factory and lumber
yards was a serious Impediment to
building in Grants Pass, 11s it has
made tho matter of getting material
slow and has caused mnur aunoTing
waits. However, tho mills luivo been
slowly catching up with their orders
and the di lajs will become shorter
and of less frequency. There has not
bct-u an over-supply of carpenters
cither, in Grunts Pass this past sum
mer, and even now there are contract
ors in the city having trouble in get
ting journeymen enough to aid them
in thi;ir work.
The leading building being con
structed is the Masonic Temple. This
niagni li -cut three-story brick struct
ure is fast assuming proportions. The
brick work is nil done and tho car
penters are hard at work with the in
terior. It was originally intended to
complete the temple by Dec. 2i bnt
the burning of the Sugar Pine mills
which cut olT the liuulier supply, und
other unavoidable delays, will make
it iinissible to finish the building
by that time. It will not be com
pleted before February. This splcn-1

did building will not only be a credit
to the Masonic fraternity but to the
entire city.
Judge lirower is putting up a one
slnry brick en Sixth Street near tho
Court house. The brick work on the
building is completed nnd the roof is
on. The finishing of tho interior is
now demanding the attention of the
carpenters. Judge lirower will uso
the building for ollice purposes.
Eugene Kiiiliu has his new brick
iirewcty 011 front Street, occupying
the site of the former 0110 recently

Van Dyke can well fuel proud of.

IRRIGATION INFORMATION
WANTED.
The growing demand for water for
irrgation purposes emphasizes the
need of more detailed information
concerning the resullts and methods
of irrigation from artesian and sur
face waters. The census of 181)0
showed that the area irrigated from
wells is greatly increasing, and that
tho results in most scctiona of the
country aro eminently satisfactory.
Approximately, itiii,oiw acres were
irrigated in that year from wells, the
value of tho irrigated crops ranging
from fiO to f 1,000 per acre.
In the humid states well irrigation
is utilized to supplement tho in
snlllcient rainfall during early spring
and summer. In tho west tl 6 water
pumped from wells iusures tho home
garden and tho orchard against total
failure through a rainless season.
In California, Colorado, Louisiana,
I lorida and several other states, the
waters of flowing artesian wells are
successfully applied to largo areas, or
are used to nugment tho shortage in
the strolling during th.'irrigating sea
son. In order to obtain the iiniKirtnut
facts relating to irrigation from those
sources, the census ollice will anon
send out inquiries to irrigators from
wells, whoso names were reported by
tho contractors. As the list is not
complete, tho director asks that Irri
gators who do not reeeivo these inqui
ties will send their namcB to Mr, I
. Powers, Chief Statistician, Census
Ollice, Washington, D. C. und blanks
will bo mailed to them at once.
It is requested that all who receive
these inquiries answer (ho same as
fully and accurately as possible, and
promptly return to (he Census Olllou.
LOCOMOTIVES Poll WESTERN
1 ROADS.
A feature of (he westward freight
shipments Is the largo number of
new locomol ives en route for Western
lines. Very few through hilled trains
pass through terminal points that aro
not particularly made up of the pro-
luct of the American Locomotive
I ompiny. It is estimated that orders
for nearly (UK) locomotives were given
out last week by various railroads

AN OSSIFIED HOY.
The Albany Dcims iat man, w ith a

Knox's Initio, says that pais r, where
they had a visit, wilh Mr. Miller and
his family, including his son Ernest,
whose case is an intensely interesting
one. Seven years ago his joints be
gan to harden. Three years ago he
left the house for the last time, and a
year go he was placed ill bed, a
twisted, solid mass, gradually ossify
ing and haltling all the droits of
local physicians to assist him. F'or a
ir he has lain in exact ly the same
position without stilling or being
stirred, a movement causing such pain
to call for other means of taking
ire of him, which have been neatly
and ingeniously devised. His arms,
legs and body are misshapen, ami even
his neck is stilf, so that he cannot
move his head at all. Hut, to offset
this misfortune, he has a face as
beautiful as one ever saw. that of

PEER AT ELLIS ISLAND.
An amendment to the Immigration
bill which was pussed by the House
of Representatives, was offered by Mr.
Boworsook, of Kansas, at the request
of tho Reform Bureau prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors in any im
migrant slat ion. It was instantly at
tacked by the representatives who have
(line to Is) recognized as the cham
pions of beer Shut tuck of Ohio; liar,
tholdt of Missouri, nnd others. Mr.
Shalfnck offered an amendment allow
ing thu sale of beer ill immigrant sta
tions under tho direction of the secre
tary 01 tne treusury. iiie (leliato wag
f a farcical character, consisting
hiefly of jNMitic flights 011 tho beauties
of the German beer garden, tho right
of isTsounl lilsTty, mid similar topics.
1 ho most striking argument of all in
tuvor of colli inning tho sale of beer at
His Island, was that of Mr. Adams,
otherwise unknown to fame, who in
geniously maintained that sinco the
most desirable immigrants are those
from Germany ami tho Scandinavian
