FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1U05. RAILROAD AND CITY END CONTROVERSY Southern Pacific and City Council Adjust Sixth Street Cross ing Difficulty. CoDocil net Thursday with all present but Conncilmen Chausse and Williams and Recorder Booth. C. H. Clements was made recorder pro tern. Ordinal' ce to revise the fire limits passed first and second reading and referred to lire and water committee. O. W. Taylor, assistant superinten dent of the Southern PhcIHo lilies in Oregon, was present to effect, if pos sible, settlement of the difficulties between his company and Grants Pats relative to the blocking of Sixth street by trains, and in regard to lighting the Sixth street crossing in the Depot grounds. In regard to the street blockade Mr. Taylor stated it was a more serious problem lo solve than was presented in any other town in Oregon on the 8. P. lines, in that there was such large traffic on Blxlh street and Urants Pass being a heavy shipping point made necessary a large number of tracks In the freight yard and switching of many oars. The passenger trains were also held longer than at all but division sta tlons, and the depot being sdjniniug Sixth street made it Impossible to void blockading that street. As to handling freight cars in the run' the trainmen woold be required to use the utmost care in obstructing the street the least poxHlble. In re gard to the ordlnauoe requiring vestibule doors on all passenger cars lo be opened while trains wore at the Orants Pans depot, Mr. Taylor slated it would be impossible for his Com pany to comply with that regulation, as It would be a danger to passengers and a great hiudi ranee to trainmen. They would do all possible to relieve the blockade aud an order would be issned to conductors for them lo opea the vestibules to the forward ours. Iu legard to compelling the Kail road Conipauy to light Sixth street on their grounds, It was neither legal nor just as the city did not compel other property owuers to lifht streets in front of their property, aud the BoDthero Pacific, being one of the heaviest tsxiayeia to I lie niuuiui pality was, entitled to the same con sideration as was given other taxay ers In the matter of public utilities. He thought it quite junt that the city should light Sixth street in front of the depot as is done iu front of the business houses. His Company would meet the oity more tliau half way In the settlement of this light problem, and would place an am light at the west end of the depot platlnrm If the cttv would place an are light oil Sixth street. This was agreed to by the oounoil aud the light wits or dered placed on Sixtli street. The ordinance was then ruiH'itlcd requiring all vestibule doors to cars to he 0eued. Mr. Taylor then expressed his ap preciation at the atisfaolory settle nient of the points at uo snd lit thanked the mayor and ooniiclliuen for the fair hearing .'.hat hail liccn Having purchtisil Marshall Field & Co.'s big sample lines of LADIES' SKIRTS, WAISTS, UNDERSKIRTS, MUSLIN UNDERWEAR, HOSIERY BLANKETS I will place sanu on naif, commencing Saturday, Nov. 25 At juicos less than wholesale; only one of a kind ant) ull new ami up-to-date, See our window for a few prices.

FRED GUMPERT Next accorded to bli Company and for the courtesy that bad been shown him. He also expressed his appreciation of the fairnoss and liberal spirit that he found manifested by the business men of Orants Pass in his conversa tions witb them during his stay in the oity. He expressed the opinion that If all towns and the public would display the same spirit of jus tice and moderation as had been shown by Grants Pas that much of the friction with railroad companies could be avoided, and when it did occur it could readily be adjusted. Mr. Taylor stated that he felt cer tain that when his Company built a new and larger '.depot for Grants Pass, which the increasing business would leqoire at no distant date, that it would be located well toward the east part of the Company's gronnds so as to avoid the necessity of stopping trains across Sixth street. On behalf of the cltv Mayor Good expressed the appreciation of the council and of himself at the consideration shown by the Southern Pacific In sending one of its highest officials to arrange a mutually satisfactory settl-ment ol the controversy that had been of long years standing, and he thanked Mr. Taylor for his deep personal interest and uniform courtesy he had display - ediu the adjustment of the difficulties and he further expressed the opinion that the citizen" of Grants fans would now he in a more foi bearing spirit and wonld endure the unavoidable obstruction to With street until snch time as the Southern Paolflo could re move the depot to a location mote ad vantageous to both the city snd the company. Mr. Taylor was accom panied to the City Hall and intro duced to the council by Hon. Geo. H. Durham, of Colvig & Durham, jat torneys for the Southern Pacific for Josephine and Jackson counties. City Attorney Hough called atten tion to the fnot that the oity tax levy for lUOfl must be made prior to Janu ary 1st of that year and filed with the county clerk. The finance committee was authorized to report on the levy at tho next meeting of the council. The marshal was ordered to collect 1 a drayman's license alleged to be due from Fred Knight, and also a bill poster's lioense from G. If. Binns, who is said to be In arresrs for tbn e years, aud who claims the eic luslve right to the bill posting business in the oity. In view of the fact that biils amounting to $77.1(1 for board of pris oners and paupers had been allowed at" this meeting of (lie council and similar bills had been paid at pre vious meetings of the council, Coun cilman Handle suggested t lint the supplying of meals for p'isoners be let out by contract. On motion of Councilman Hair the auditor was ordered to advertise for bids for meals to be presented at the uext meeting of tlie council. Clty'Kuiveyor Ittynnlds uotifled the couuiol that S. Klovdalil to whom had been awarded the Seooud aud Soventh street sewer contractu had begun the work of laying pipe 'and asked if he should be allowed to pro ceed with no contract signed up be tween the city and Mr. Klovdalil. City Attorney Hough stated that he had notified Mr. Klovdalil that no contract would be signed on the part of the oity until the houd sale had beeu fully comminuted. Mr. Klov dalil had agreed lo take his chances for payment if permitted to begiu the work as he was anxious to com plete the job before bud weather sot iu. Kugiueer Reynolds said he was carefully supervising the work, as ordered by the council and (lie pipe was being lsid iu llrct cIbhk manner. As lo the sale of the bonds City At torney Hough stated that the matter had been delayed by Harris & Co., unking for additional proof of pro ceedings, aud that on that reaching Chicago, which would be this Kiiday, lie bad been advised by their attor ney that the bonds would arrive in Grants l'sas the middle of next week and suggested that the council hold an ad jourued session in xt Kridar eve ning to close up the business, and the adjournment was so made.

The Grants Pass municipal election held Monday, passed off quietly and out of a total of about 900 voters in the city there were polled but 3U3 ballots. The mayor and all the councilmen except Will Smith of the Third Ward, who would not be a candidate, were re-elected. The one new councilman and the re-elected officials will take their seats at the first regular nioeUrg of Ihe council in January. The vote by wards was as follows: First Ward For mayor, Geo. E. Good, 47, 0. E. Mabyee, 6fi; For treasurer, Col. W. Johnson, 1)8; For councilman, W. M. Hair, 94. Seooud Ward For mayor, Geo. E. Uood, 67, O. E. Maybee, 47; For treasurer, Col. W.

Iu the Third ward Mr. Chnusse whs also without an opponent as County Superintend ent L. Savage hud been nominated a candidate for councilman without his consent, and he would not permit his name to go on the ticket. The re-flection of Mr. Good aud the four counollmeu, who were can didates for reelection, was an en dorsement of the city administration for the past year, that wasamoiited compliment to the gentlemen, aud especially tn Mayor Good, for a special effort whs made by powerful influences lo accomplish his defeat. Mr. Good's administration has been very satisfactory to the business men and progressive element of Grunts Pass and if the city is as orderly aud free from crime and makes as sat is fudoiy progress iu substantial im provements during the year HKjO, as it did during the year just closing there will be no just cause for com plaint on the jwrt of the moral and 1 1 iu progressiva cil.ens of Grants Pass.

It 11 Y SENATOR MITCHELL DIES IN PORTLAND Hemor&ge C&used by Extracted Teeth th Cuae Governor to Appoint Senator. Senator John H. Mitchell died in Portland this Friday at 11:40 a.m. The direct cause of his deatli was ex cessive hemorrhage due to the ex traction of four teeth on Thursday forencon. Following the removal of the teeth a hemorrhage set in which the dentists were nnabln to check, and the Senator was removed to Good Samaritan hospital and two of the leading physicians of Portland in ad dition to the hospital surgeons were summoned to his aid. The most powerful styptics were osed but the flowof blood could be stopped only temporarily, when it wonld renew with greater flow. By evening the aged Senator became semi-conscious and toward motning lost all con sciousness and remained in that state until he passed away. Senator Micthell was in his 71st year and for the past year he has been afflioted with diabetes and his blood had become so thin that it would not coagulate. None of Senator Mitchell's family were with him. His wife is in Paris, where she has resided for years with their daugter, Ihe Duchess de Rcch efocauld. He has two sous, John H. Mitchell, Jr., a business man of St Paul, Minn., and Hiram E. Mitchell, a lieutenant in the regular army, sta tioned at New York. The death of Senator Mitchell leaves a vacancy in the United States senate, and it will devolve on Govenor Chamberlain to appoint a senator to serve until the expiration of Seuator Mitchell's term, which will be March 4, 1!K)7. The lelgslatute of next Win ter will choose the Beuator for the suc ceeding term. Governor Chamber lain is a Democrat aud hn will of course apjoiut a man of his party to the senatotship. Political gossip is already active as to whom the Gover nor will betsow the high honor upon. C. E. S. Wood, an attorney of Port land, is mentioned. He was the choice of the democrats in the elec tion of 1902 and was given the demo cratic vote in seuatoriil election iu the legislature the fol'owing Winter, but his chances are handicapped by charges of alleged Indian War pension frauds in which it is claimed be was involved. Auother man promi nently mentioned for the place is J. L. Smith, a leading lawyer of Baker City. Another View Editor Courier By your kindness aud courtesy I will write a-few lines explanatiotory and make a little cor rection to an article that appeared in the last week's paper by some on known person, who either neglected nr refused to sign, at least his ini tials. Our friend criticised an article I wrote in a previous issue of the Courier on the subject of dauciug, and quoted me as saying that danc ing should be fought from a religious standpoint, which I never intimated as the article referred to will prove. rellher did I condemn the act of dancing. But simply warued the youug people against the contaminat ing influences, that usually prevail at such gatherings. We have no object ions to dancing if preformed in honor of God and to the tune of the higher attributes of the soul. But we do ob ject to danciug to the tune of the devil and the animal passions as our friend would suggest. If our Biblical friend would spend a little more time and care iu reading the articles iu the Courier, aud a lit tle less time in bunting up passages of Bcriptures to try to prove an un truth, we thiuk he would lie a wiser and better mm. We are a little surprised that in this day aud age of eulightment any one could be so ignorant that be should condemn the spelling school, and young peoples meeting and en courage the dance with all its de moralizing influences. But we sup pose that our hero pf the dance sim ply voices the aeutiu,cnt of the danc ing element iu general. If the dance is such a grand institution, why do all the principal educators couriemn it Aud why do nearly all of our graded schools and colleges strictly forbid their students from attending dances? Aud why does the Oregou school law prohibit dauces from being held iu the public school buildings? Simply because our law makers aud educators are made out of better material. Now Mr. Souibeody we believe if you would patronise the dauce a little more than you do and fall in tl.p bauds of a dauciug mob, and get as badly treated as some of your daucing brothers have, jou would certainly reform and be au eareust advocate of the spelling school and young peoples iuetings. When you write agaiu will you please sign at least your initials, so that the public may have some clue to your identity and so that your friends may know en whom to bestow their honor.
