JANUARY 29. 1903. Representative Halo's bill to protect boarding liooss and hotel keepers, which came before tlio house on Toes day, was lost Little change is evident in the sen atorial contest. The supporters of Fnlton and Goer cling stubbornly to their candltdatcs, the democrats are voting for Wood, tlio scattering vote Is mnch the same as before. The deadlock is unbroken. There may be surprise in store for tlio people of Oregon but it has not yet appoared what it will be. A bill is in consideration by the legislature to compel the placing of flue mesh wire screens at tlio heads of all ditches. This of conrso is in the interest of the Huh. Such a measure would work a great deal of harm in tills connty especially to the placer mining industry as the screens would be an intolerable and coustant nuisance and and obstacle to the flow of the water. The finer the mesh, the worse the nuisance as thoy wonld be con stantly filling np with leaves and other debris. Fish are worthy of some protection bat there are other interests of far greater importance to be afruot ed by this bill A bill has been Introduced in the honse by Representative Halo and a similar oue in the senate by Senator Booth, to oroate the office of commie- sloaor of mines The commissioner Is to bo appointedby the governor and Is to have not less titan seven years ezporlenoe in practical mining in tlii state. He is to collect and distribute Information regarding mluerals in the state and prepare statistics and re porta. He is required to insjieot mines and when he finds unsafe conditions, to post notices to that effect. Ho will be sworn not to Impart any special In formation regarding a mine without the consent of the owner. The term of office is to be fonr years and the salary $JM per month. A Grants Pass dispatch to the Ore- gonian last week stated there wore a number of cases of smallpox in town and that a death had occurred there from. At tlio time the dispatch was written, there was one mild case in quarantine, a man who had come In on the train from tlio north and who had boou promptly taken in charge by the authorities. His was tiie only case and the report of a death was utterly without foundation, the cor res)ondut evidently having in mind the death of a liltlo boy by scarlet fever about a mouth ago. On such a ticklish subject as smallpox, care should be taken not to make any such wild remark a Oue more case, also mild, has tluce appuarod aud the house was quarantined. Tim Woman's club of tills oity can not bo too highly comnieuded in the spirit of public enterprise which is exhibited. They have tiikeu np the library project and have a very grati fyiug assurance of success If they are aecouded therein by the oltUeus. They havo the Wat oi prospects of securing from Andrew (Jamegie a handsome donation for a library if certain con ditions in tlio matter of a site for aud maintenance of the library cau bo compiled with. In this mutter, they need the practical aud material assist ance of the citisens of tlio town and we aro confident that it will ho given, as tlio success of the project would be of immense publio benefit. The ben efits of a fne library go to tliiwe who lii-eil tliem and this is iu itself a sufficient recommendation for In sup lirt Tlio Courier has lately added to its equipment a new Job press of the larger pattern, carrying all the later improvements, a thoroughly up-to date machine. Another of our lato addi tions is a wire stitchiug maehiue. The Courier uow has a mechanical equipment which is superior to auy other iu Southern Orngou and is better prepared thau ever to give its Imtrous the best service and returns. The Courier is iu the fore front of progress aud advancement. Its jxiliey and effort is toward constant improve ment and advancement both uiechau leally and otherwise.

THE HOTEL FLAT PLACERS New Hydraulic Mine In Brians Creek District. The "Hotel Flat" placer on Rriggs oreek is being opened np by Trcfrcn of Ashland and associates. This mine contains a largo area of untouched placer ground of undoubted richness. It lies just below tlio Burr mine which is a good producer. The ground is neither deep nor difficult to work. Most of tlio "pay" lies clone to the bedrock and the gold is coarse, smooth, heavy aud of high quantity. Hotel Flat has a history which its name perpetuates. During tlio Silver oreek excitement of tlio early 70's, a "hotel" was kept here which was a half way house between Silver creek aud the Rogoo river settlements. The hotel was kept by James Ferreu, still a resident of Brlggs creek and it did a rushing business iu its day. The ruins of tlio old houso still stand. Ds-tee for Examination.

A RICH PLACER REGION Josephine County's Many Hy draulic D&cer Mines. Josephine county and the region ml jiicont to it lias always been, and w ill continue to bo lor the next 100 years, a remarkably rich placer region. Them is no other section anywhere, of its area, that contains so many hydraulic placer mines and so many acres of placer ground, as docs Jose phine county. Providence has gener ously endowed Josephine with all the necessary requisites fur placer gold digging. The liberal rains of every winter, and tne multitude of stn-ams that iuterwi't and cut the country everywhere make this country an ideal one for.tho surface miner. There is as great a ditTercnce be tween the iiexl. tii hydraulic giant ami the rocker of the early day iniin r, a them is be I wwii the modem imlacc car and the pioneer stage roach. The same auriferous streams where today the giants aro hurling their inightv streams against the gravel hnuki melting mountains away and robbing them at their gold, were scratched over half a century ago by the pros pector with Ins crude rocker and pan. then, placer mining w as a gamble, ill which hardsliiiw, privations ami perils were necessary to the treasure nought, and a pack ponv, pick, pun. and "grub" kit the prime requisites.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING Annue.1 Meeting of Board ind Election of Officers. The annnal meeting and election of the Grants Pas Board of trade was held on Monday evening in tlio City halL The reports of Secretary Stovall and Treasurer Gilkey were read, accepted and placed on file. R. L. Coe, the retiring president, sub mitted a message saying ttiat trie Board was to be congratulated that it still lived; that the spark of life still burned, in the face of the opposition which the workiug members of the Board had met in their efforts on be half of the town. He requested that the attending members should talk the niattor over unreservedly aud de cide whether it would be best to dis band the Board or to continue its or ganization. W. M. Hair spoke briefly, saying that a good active Uoard or iraue was of the greatest imjmrtance and ho believed such a board could lie or ganized. Dr. Moore madu a few remarks em phasizing the necessity that the efforts of the Board should be seconded by tlio merchants. B. Thomas said he would regret to o tlio Board discontinue. Ho con sidered it a very essential orgnniza- ion. As a suggestion, he advanced the Idea that if more business should be done in open meeting of the whole Hoard it might, perhaps, awaken a livi'lier and more general interest. D. H. Stovall said that the citizens were Licking in co-operation. Every citizen should lie a member of the Board and my his dues regularly. CoL J. S. Crawford said that while he was an old mail, us a citizen of Grants Puss, lie was an infant, hut that ho had adopted the town and in tended to remain here. Ho realized tlio grand possibilities of Grants Pass as tho geographical center of Southern Oregon and expected to see it a city of many thousands. Tho Board of Trade represents tho town' best citi zens and it is to the interest of every man to uphold it. All the elToUsof the Board will bring a four fold return Arthur Conkliu said tho Board must bo maintained. Ho believed Grunts Pass litis the brightest future of any town in Southern Oregon. We should get together aud organize a vigorous Board. CoL Crawford said that in tho great cities, the Boards of Trade wero com posed of men of tho highest standing. A Board of Trade is a standard of re liability. Iu Grants Pass we have the right material on which to build. We should unite as one, man aud work for the common interest. On motion tho Board proceeded with the election of officers. IL L. Gil key moved that an informal ballot lie taken and that the two men recuiving the highest number of votes should bu declared president and vico-prcsi-deut. This plan was adopted and iu the following ballot tho names of K. Thomas, R. L. Coo, Col. J. S. Craw ford aud H. L. Gi'.key apiwurcd. Mr. Thomas, receiving tho greatest vote, was declare president and R. L. Coe, vice-president. For secretary, Arthur Conkliu moved that Dennis H. Stovall bo re elected and that the president cimt the ballot. Mr. Stovall, however, declined the nomination for a further term of office. The name of Arthur Conkliu was iroKsod by H. O. Bobzieu but Mr. Conkliu also declined. H. L. Gilkey then presented tho name of Fred Mensch. No further nomina tions apis'ared and the secretary cast the ballot for Mr. Mensch. for treasurer, 11. Ij. Gilkey was uiiauiniously elected to succeed him self. For the other threo members of the executive committee, the names of W. M. Hair, J. A. Shiver, Col. J. S. Crawford, Arthur Conkliu mid Dr. J. S. Mooro were proposed. The three receiving the highest number of votes wore Hair, Crawford and Conkliu, who Were elected. H. U Gilkey, on behalf of the Woman's Club, offered tho following resolutions: "Whereas, The Woman's club of Grant Pass are using their Is-st en deavor to establii.li a free library-, reading room and gymnasium iu this city, therefore be it Resolved, That this Hoard of Trade lend them every encouragement aud mil within our means and Resolved, That we assure the said Woman's I'U.b that ill the event of their securing a donation from An drew Carnegie sufficient to erect a suitable building for such library, that we will make provisions for a lot or site for the said building." This resolution was unanimously adopted. A vole ot thanks was tendered the retiring president and secretary for their faithful and earn est labors in behalf of the Board and the meeting v. as then adjourned.

Provolt Item. i Ue high water of the past week has served to emphasize the need of another bridge over Williams creek between Provolt and Williams. At present the maiu traveled road crosses Williams creek at a ford about a mile below Williams post office. On top of all tho other disaster, on Monday about noon, a terrible Chi nook wind rose and blew down a num ber of flue, large pines. This is not serious, hewever, as tho saw mills will doubtless make arrangement for converting them into saw logs at once. The voluntary weather observer at Williams reports that during the 24 hours of Friday night and Saturday tliero iell six inches of rain. This seems au exaggeration but we shall excuse him this time as the occasion seems to warrant extravagance of speech, ev. n in a weather bureau officiaL It is the universal verdict of the Williams and Apphgate valley farmers that we have experienced the worst floods iu the past week of any time since the winter of ISiki. One careful oWrver rcHirts that Williams creek reached tho high water mark of ISWatthe Provolt bridgo on Satur- .lay. In other tilacv. howtv,p Will. iaius did not seem quite so high as be fore. During high water, such as we l,,l last Wednesday and Saturday, it it iuiwsible to ford Williams creek aud o the stage was omivlled to remain at Williams on these days. There is I another road to Williams, called the j mountain raid, but it is impassable at present and often so at other times. !

Just above tho bridge over Powell ;creek on the mountain road to "Williams the creek cut into the banks until it loosened a large tree which, falling, dammed the creek and turned it so that it cut another chan nel down across the road and through J. W. Turrey's garden land nearly all of which was washed away. Another bridge must be constructed imme diately as it is impossible to cross Powell creek at present Jacob Struss, Jr., has recently re ceived returns from the Rosebnrg creamery for the cream he had been sending on a month's trial. He esti mates that for butter fat he receives as much as if he sold the butter at 55 cents per roll. Ranch butter is sell ing in Grants Pass at CO cents per roll ; so Mr. Struss concludes that 'tis the most profitable to sell cream Bnd aave the butter making. This is rea sonable, aud what is to bo regretted is that there is not a creamery in Jose nhine county to manufacture the Jose- nhtiiA (onntT-Tream. Other farmers in this valley besides Mr,. Struss arc shipping cream and the growth of the country will soon demand a creamery at home. A paying busiuess awaits the pioneer in this field. Who will it be? Lew Smith, the genial Provolt merchant and blacksmith, narrowly escaped death by drowning while re turning from Grants Pass with a load of merchandise last Saturday. This was the day of the heavy rains and many of the streams were up to the high water mark. When Mr. Smith ivched the bridge over an ordinarily small creek near Alonzo Hyde's farm and drove mon it, tho off horse went through the bridge and the shock threw Lew into the water. By good luck, the vehicle stood firm and the goods were saved. It was several minutes before Mr. Smith recovered his footing in the torrent und climbed ashore. The accident was caused by a stringer of the bridge washing away, thus letting the planks float without other support. AlZ, NOTICE OF SHERIFF'S SALE.
