The contest, which began a year ago
for the control of the electrio light

terminated lata Saturday when Dr. O.
R. Ray, manager of the Condor Water
Power Company, bongbt for his com
pany the electrio plant and street
lighting franchise belonging to the
Grants Pars New Water, Light &
Power Company. The price paid was
not made public but was probably
about 10,000.
The Grants Pans company retain their
pumping and ice plants and their fran
chise for supplying the city with
water. R. W. Clarke will continue to
act as maiingcr for the company with
his office, as heretofore, on Went E
street. Carl Gentner, who has hereto
fore been city electrician and super
Intendnut of the light, pump and ice
pluuts, will continue in the employ of
the company and will have charge of
the two latter plants. The company
is now installing a new pump that
will have a capacity of 1.500,000 gal
lons of water each 21 hours. With the
old pump now in, the company will
lie able to pump to the reservoir over
3,o00,000 gallons of water each
hours. Extensive betterments to the
distributing aystom is planned for this
year, it being the purpose of the com
pany to give Grants Pans a water aer
vico equal to the best had by any city
in the Northwest.
Buuday the electrician! of both com
pan!es were employed in changing the
ennn. ctlfina from the old to the new
system and that night Grants Pass,
which had heretofore been getting
electrio current from both stations,
was entirely lighted from the Condor
million at Gold Ray. Mr. Clarke will
be the Grunts Pans manager for the
Condor company and all business for
this city pertaining to electrio light
and power will bo attended to at hia
ofllen on E street. C. L. Clevenger
who has been city electrician for the
Condor company, will continue to
hold that pOMtion. Jay Hooth, who
has been a lineman with the old com
pany, will now be with the Condor
Company as one of their crew of line-

Dr. Ray stated that it would be the

RECEPTION GIVEN TO
BRIDE AND GROOM
Residents of Murphy Tender their
Congratulations to Mr. and
Mr H. L. Reld.
Murphy people always enjoy them
selves. Even tradition points with
pride to the social gatherings of the
Applegate as far back aa the days of
the Crescent City freight teams, aud
liy shouldn't Ihey be happy? They
have every surrounding to make them
so. If the ceaseless song of flowing
waters, the odor of an eudleas forest,
the sunlight reflected from the snow
capped hilln, together with a moral
nature aud aaatisiied conscience would
not produce happiness, then this earth
hnan't the conditions necessary to its
development.
That tho joople of onr neighborhood
understand the fact that to he happy
one's self is to make others glad, was
fully shown las'. Monday night when
more than fifty of their friends gath
ered at the home ot the nowly woddod
Mr. aud Mrs. II. I.. K.-id.
No, it couldn't have been a chari
vari, for that awfully spelled word to
us menus all tho horrible, unearthly
and supernal tiral sounds the human
ear la ca able of recording, aud like
football aud pugilism, stands for the
hick of civili.ati n yet tn overcome
barbarism in the human make-up.
liiHtoail of tearing the siding off the
house, breaking the windows, or blast
ing up the doorstep, the prtsrrjce of
the visitors was announced by singing.
They were met at lliedoor and invited
in by the jovial Mr. Held who, with
his new wife, received the well wishes
of Ihe crowd, some of the older ouen
speaking from the kuowlidge of what
fuch congratulations mean; the
younger ones knowing not and worry
ing not ever the m lining of such
wishes, ninl others of us caring to
learn Unit uivstio meaning but having
as yet fouud no tcHchcr.
After the congratulations a carefully
piepuied program of recitations, vocal
and iuntiuuit nlal music was rendered ;
tlieu came thu timo honored "treat"
of the brde 1 i(l groom which consi'led
of a bountiful supper of ojhtcm, snod
vi lilies, picklo, )ies, cakes nud cnlTee.
At a late hour the compiiny wended
their way lioniewaid.eaeh with tl e in
ward desire that every person of every
clime might feel a contented, have a
many fi jcudn, and live in aa favored a
community as w iih the good fortune of
the residents of Murphy.
May time never dun the memory'of
this new year to Mr. and Mrs. Keid.
May each succeeding year with its
trials and its joys, Its hopes and its
fear he as happily commenced as 11KK1,
mid although the rapid recurrence of
new year's day brings the inevitable
truth that the sp 11 of life in shorten
ing, may it also impress us with the
fact that to live Is more fearful than
to die and Unit man's goodly influence
.-tops not at tlio tomb.
