was defective. The matter was refer
rd to the light committee. Connoil
man Williams stated he coaidered it
scheme to raise insurance rates.
' Councilman Fetach called attention
to the fact that tne city was paying
large aunia for water to flush sewers,
when the city 000 Id have water free
of charge for at leaat eight months of
the year from bkuuk and Gilbert
creeks. The proposition was approv
ed by the mayor and the other coun
cilman and a motion wat passed
authorising that catchbsslna be put
to on Gilbert and tiknuk creeks and
connections made with the sowers.
' Lqoor licenses were granted for all

City Attorney Hough says it la
illegal. The judiciary - committee
was authorized to eee that all ordl

city records.
Mayor Good called attention lo the
fact that the vote on the emergeuoy
motion on the ordinance passed at the
previous lueotlug to reduce the
salary of the city eiigiueer and city
attorney was not legal as It was not
the required three-funrtha of the
oounoilmen voting. It was decided

nance for two weeks and give City
Engineer Reynolds a chance to ex
plain the alleged faulty surveying fur
the.new sewera.
Counciluiau Hall called up the
proposition to macadamize Sixth
street from the Rogue river bridge to
the head of the street and all that

C E. Hoskins, who is one of the
leading members of the Oregon Htate
Horticultural Society and who owna
a fine fro it farm near Ntwberg, and
la starting an orchard on Rogue river
opposite from Gold Hill, where be
resides, waa in Grants Pass from Bun
day until Wednesday, accompanied by
Mrs. Itoskius. guests at the homes of
Drs. K. P. and H. O. Dixon. While
in Grants Pass Mr. Hoskins in
terviewed a number of fruit men and
business men In regard to securing
for some Southern Oregon town the
semi-annual meeting of the Htate
Horticultural Society, which meits
next June. This eocfety, which is
ooniposod of the lending fruit growers
of Oregon, hold's Its annual meetings
in Portland iu January, the one for
this year being held last wet-k, and its
semi annual meetings are held in
such towns as may be selected each
year. The meeting for last June
waa held at Hood River, and all the
previous June meetings have been
held either in Eastern Oregon or the
Willamette Valley, but no meeting
has as yet been held in Southern
Oregon.
The selection of the place for hold
ing the June meeting is made by the
ofllcers of the Horticultural Society,
and Mr. Hoskins stuted tiiat the
ollicers and many of the members
were auxloos to visit Rogue River
Valley aud the next session could no
doubt be secured for this section of the
state. The town to aecure the honor
would quite likely be either Grants
Pass, Uoseburg, Ashland or Medford.
Whim the fruit growers about Med
ford, Ashland and Rosebnrg and the
business men of those places will
doubtlesa make a big effort, yet with
its ceutral looation aud ruputntiou for
hustling Mr. Hoskiua thought Grants
Pass stood a good chauco of securing
the meeting. It is customary at these
meetings lo have an exhibit of fruit.
Last June Hood River had a fruit ex
hibit that did much to advertise that
already famous Valley, and this Win
ter there was an xhiblt at the Port
land meeting that was 0111 of the
finest displays of apples ever seen iu
Oregon. While June, is not the best
season of the year in which to secure
fruit fi r an exhibit, yet Mr. Hoskins
thinks that Rogue River Valley can
do enough in that line to give the
visitois an idea as to the svleudid
fruit that is grown in Southern Oregon.
Another object of Mr. Hoskiua'
visit to Ganta Pass was to work up an
interest iu organizing a county fruit
growers ssvoclation for Josephine
county. A number of the counties
have associations and the State Asso
oiatiou has taketi up the work of or
ganizing local onions In thoee
comities in which none eixsl.
Mr. Hoskins is both a coinine.-clul
and a scientific urchardist. He has his
Willamette Valley farm leaved, and
uow he Is planting an orchard on his
Uold Hill place. He is going largely
Into cherries and uow has 1200 trees
out, an I he intends to plant more
torn year lo year as he Duds that
oherries are oue of the most profitable
fruits that can Iwi growu iu this Val
ry. He also has IHH) Spitzenlnrg
and Newtowu apphs and a large
area to small fru.ts. Mr. Hoskins is
loing sclent i lie wmk iu originating
new fruila along the same lines that
aie followed by llurbauk, the famous
California wizard iu producing won-
lers in new tree and plant varieties.
Mr. Hoskins' sHcialty is cherries aud
he has full led thousands of tret a in
his work of breeding up uew varieties.

THREE MEN KILLEDi
AT THE OPP MINE
Were Working In Tunnel When
Dynamite Exploded-Shock
Shook the Hill.
Wednesday at. 6 o'clock In the after.
noon, a terrific exploaion took place
at the Opp mine at Jacksonvil'e that
resulted In the death of three miners,
William Broad. Bert Coffman and
Fred Johnson were working at th
breast in a tunnel, and while no one
saw the accident, the circumstances
show that Broad waa setilng the shots
in the holes and Coffniao and Johnson
were tttlng caps and fuse to sticks of
giant powder from a 60 pound box
that they had just carried to where
they wvre working, evidently plan
ning to take out the sticks required
for the shots and then take the box
to the outer section of the tunnel. It
is probable that a cap was exploded
Ihat ret off a stick aud that set off tl e
eutire box. The bodies of the men
were blown up against the roof of the
tunnel and literally flattened and
torn to fragments. The remains of
Johnson were impossible to recognize
but Broad and CofTuiau were barely
recognizable.
The forte of I he explosion was so
great as to shake the eutire hill and
the miners working In the other tun
nels rushed out fearing (hat a general
cave-in was imminent, and the jar
aim noise was felt in Jacksonville
I miles distant.
All the men were experienced
miners, and the accident can ouly be
attributed to the desperate chances
that all miners unthoiightcdly take.
Mr. Urond was about 65 yeara of age
and one of the best kuown miners iu
this section. Ha resided in Jackson
ville and leaves a wife and six child
ren. Mr. Coffman resided near Koch
and was a yoong man and leaves a
wife and a little child. Mr Johnson
was a middle aged man and had no
family. Ho formely worked at the
Granite Hill miue. All three were
steady, sober men nud their terrible
deaih is a sincere grief to their many
friiuids among the miners of Southern
Oregon.

The rain fell all night in torrents
with the result that everything was

morning. The river rose suddenly
and vehemently, though it did not

downpour did not continue long
enough to produce that effect. It was
a cold rain also that did not melt the

the Horace K. Turner Art Exhibit, to
be given January 24th-27th for the
benefit of the school library. This
exhibir will be held in the High
School which is now being wired for
electric lighting.
Press reports from the various
places at which this exhibit has been
held speak of it in the highest terms
and as far surpassing expectations
The exhibit was held two years ago at
the former home of one of our
teachers. She reports that it was a
success in every respect and though
the town was much smaller than
Grants Pass, yet the schools of that
place cleared over (200 for library
purposes besides buying pictures for
school decorations. In that particular
town, McCook, Nebraska, the exhibit
was held In a hall having a capacity
of 350 a nil was crowded each evening
and afternoon. Evrn though attract
ive programs were prepared and given,
yet the people were so taken with
the exhibit as lo relmn evening after
evening to study the paintings rather
than for the programs, and notwith
standing the fact that there were no
season tickets issued. In connect
ion with the fxhihit on Wednesday,
January 24th, a musical porgram will
be given by high school students in
charge of Principal A. E. Harrison.
Ou Thursday evening, 2"jlh, a literary
program In charge of Miss Walker
will be rrndeied. A musical program
by some of the best talent in Grants
Puss will be given ia connection
with this exhibit cn Friday evening.
2Ilh. Ou Saturday afternoon, 27th
a display of school work will be
given. The basis of this display is
the Wi rk our schools prepared for the

reason of lack of funds to iustall the
exhibit. Miss Tuffs is chairman of
the committee ou arrangements aud
program for the Saturday afternoon
exhibit. Miss Aguew is chairman' of
committee on program for Saturday
evening at which time a program will
be given by pupils of grammar and

An admission of 10 cents for pupils
and 25 cents for adults will be
