VOOllHIES, l'ROl'K. & MNOR Entered at the pout office at Grants Pa-i, Oregon, as tecond-clasii mail matter. THURSDAY. MAY 14. 1003. A inovcimtut ia said to b matin to start a newspaiKT in Jarknouville, 'to be under tho conduit of Clm. Mc scire, lately of tlie Mndford Suci'hh. No good renHou for tlio formation of tlio Southern Oregon forest roiw-rvo Im yet been prewnted. 'J'lio idea that the streams are drying oj) in utterly ab surd. Tlio objections to the, meuxure are uinny and wrioun. Tho coQiieil at their last nieetiiiK ordered tho library urojioHition to Ik submitted to vote at nnH--iul eleotion. It will doubtlcHB carry by an over whelming majority. Tho vote should bo marly niinuimouH in its favor tn be at all creditable.

Tin referendum ia a weapon by which tin-He ftijurloUH measnrea may lie killed ami tliu opportunity nbould not be ne glected. , The Daily Oregouian thin week published what purported to be a map of the new forest renerve, but which really bore no more rcHciiihhinni to the real dluipo of tlie creature than a minnow does to a humming bird. jTliero wan abxolutuly not tlie slightest resemblance, aa any one might see In an instant by merely referring to any towuahip map. If there is any one in this county w ho lias absorbed Ills ideas of the reserve boundaries from the Oregonlnn's "limp, " he should seek further'luforiiiatiou without delay. The Observer nmkea what may In termed an " incorrect inn" when it so hastily refutes our statement that Williams, I'rovolt and Waldo are included In the promised forest re serve. If tho Observer man w ill con sult the list nf townships as published on the first page of the last issue ol Ills own pajs r he will find that town ship 118 range 5 and tho south half of township 40 range 8 are Included in the reserve. Ill these two divisions, if ho consult the county oflUiial map, ho will find Williams, I'rovolt and Waldo. John ('.olgosK,tho brother of the assassin of l'resident McKinlcy, was arrested and imprisoned in Ijos Angeles during the visit there of President Koosevclt. The arrest was made by tho local authorities with the idea of protecting the president. The mau is an every day working man, employed there in a butcher shop. Ho is not an anarchist and has noth ing to do with the anarchists. I'uless the authorities have better reason for liis detention than has been published his arrest appears to be a gross in justice and is a pHir attempt at "pro tection." Ho was released after the presidential jiarty had gone. County Hosplto.1 Burned Jerome It. lieiison's hospital build ing, located on Kogue river near the mouth of the Applcgato, was biirueil last Wednesday evening. A defective flue is thought to Is' the cause of the tiro, which started ill the up-r storv. The loss was almoin IHHKI with li insurance. There were in the hospital at -.the time of tlie lire, '.'I inmates, ot w hom live were sick. Only one of the Inuiates was iiijuied; Dr. Ward, an old mail, who was ipiito severely btinieil. A supply of blankets anil otlier.nwessit ies were taken out im mediately. The building will be re built. IIOIiN. WISKMAN In (rants I'uw..

To the Kill lor: Since the announce ments through the press of Oregon, that the interior department lias de nied to create a forest rosfli vu in Southern Oregon, which would practi- 'slly tie up most of the ln-tter part of Josephine I'd., with the thriving city of (irants I'nss; Curry county, anil the section tributary to ( resccnt fit v, tlie all important topic of conversat ion is, "how will the proposed reserve iill'iet the III I urn growth null ileyeliiilllilit of this community?" A short period of uieditat ion has rca-on to bring con sternation into tho minds of the most patriotic and siuiguiiin nf(eir ieiis. It is not surprising cither, that citizens and pros rty owners should indignant ly resent the flimsy reason presented for making such reserve 1 hat it was founded on the recoiniiiniidal ion of 1 1 it (ieidogical survey, because of the marked diminution of the streams in the sections in iiiestiou, supposedly aused through the extensive cutt tng of timber growing tributary to the source of such streams, i'lactically speaking, there has not been any timlsr cut at such poiuls as saol timln r lands are as a rule uiisurvi vi d land without roads fur trans imh iat ion aoiihl such timber have been cut. Dot perlias the most remarkable, and to those pros-rly owners most interei-terl, the most exasperating side of the situation, is that this so called forest reserve, in reality does not, reserve any vacant forest hinds of couse. queuce. This entire trnci of land as a whohi being far more valuable for mining purposes, as it is a lad that much of it is a treeless moiintaiii- ons country alfonling ahiiudiiiieii nf pastnrage for stock raising, with fertile low lauds well adapted to fruit raising and agriculture.

Fun for Circus Monkey. One of the big monkeys in the Norris Howe circus, one of those tha' ride the tricycle, do the heavy ban-hack riding acts and drive the pony team, t-scas-d from hi cage Sunday during the stay of the show in town. The diwir of the cage wan not properly fastened and tho cunnng beast managed to get his baud under it and slidn it up till he could get out. Hi escapade was discovered almost immediately hut he eluded his would Is- captors and scainsired at high -peed across the Hat. The kees-r followed on the run. The attention of the fb-eing simian was attracted by the ok-ii door of a dwelling and he rushed in, bent on mischief. A table stood in the room and he promptly b-ais d to the middle of it, stood erect and began to make pugilis tic gestures with his hands at the lady of the house who was naturally frightened nearly out of her wits at the grotesoiie and imp-like form that confronted her. The keeper arrived and took charge of the runaway, to the lady's intense relief. I)r Roberts Here Ir. A. T.
