A fruit cannery for Grants Pass ia ,4 to be the latest addition to the indus trial growth of this city. That thiH '' few todustry ia certain to be inaugu- 'iutedia proven by the kind of men back of it, and Grants Pass will have --a. large addition to its payroll and the 4 county a profitable cash market for fruits and vegetables. For the past year Messrs.

Last Win ter they induced Glenn Applegate, manager of the Oregon Packing Com pany's cannery in Portland, to come to Grants Pass and look over the proposition of a cannery for this place. So well pleased was he that he is now here actively assisting in organizing a company and giving the facts and figures regarding the business end of the venture. The result of the efforts of himself and the members of the real estate Arm above mentioned is that the securing of stock subscrip tions is now being secured. The best of Buncess is being had and though canvassing has beia only done the last few days yet 12250 has been secured to the stock of the proposed company. The following business men of Grants Pass have shown their confidence in the cannery aa a money making propo sition both for the stockholders and the community by taking stock in it to the amount opposite ttieir names: H O Kinney $100 L B Hall 100 H D Norton 100 H L Gilkey 100 V H Sehmirit 100 ("laus Schmidt lOOi I M Davis 100 W H Flanagan 100 E N Pro volt... 100 C G Hockett 200 M Clemens 100 M E Moore 100 R L Coe & Co 100 August Fetseh 100 Geo K Kiddle 100 L L Jewell 100 C E Harmon 100 J O Booth 200 W M Hair 100 Oregon Timber Mining & Inv Co. 100 Arthur Couklin 50, R L Kartlett 60 A E Voorhies 60 O O Lund 60 W U Hale 60 OLD SOLDIERS TO CAMP IN GRANTS PASS Will Be the Largest Encampment Ever Held In Oregon Will Last a Week. D. A. Cords, owner of the Piue Needle Factory in this city, writes to the Courier that his dwelling house in Sun Francisco was all bat destroyed by the recent great earthquake in that city, but the wreck escaped the flames though all the buildings on the oppo ' site side of the street were burned. ! He aud Mrs. Cords succeeded in get- j ting to the street with no serious in jury to themselves, but Mr. Cords writes fiat it was only through much , difficulty aud personal danger was be able to rescue their dogs. When all were safe, they took a few of their things and their dogs aud for two days and two nights were wauderers fleeing before the on-rushmg flames to a place of safety. They are now re siding at Fruitvale until their home in San Francisco can be rebuilt. There promises to be the greatest gathering of old soldiers at the an nual encampment that will begin In this city on ; .Monday, Juue IS, ever bad in OregonY Of the organizations taking part in this encampment there will be toe Graud Army, the Womens Relief Corps Ladies of the Grand Army, anl the Southern Oregon Sol diers and Sailors Association. Alto gether there is expected to be fully 1000 visitors iu the city to attend tbis encampmeut which will last for the week. The Southern Pacific has made the extraordinary low rate of one fare for the round trip to Grants Pass and this will bring many visitors beside the old soldiers who will embrace the occasion to visit Rogue River Valley, of which they have heaid so much. The eocampment grounds will be located in the handsome grove that extends from lower Sixth street across to Tenth street. A large speakers platform has been erected and seat ing provided for the people. The grove will be made bright at night with electric lights. Tents for such as desire to camp will be provided by the department of Oregon and by the Southern Oregon Association. Many though will prefer not to camp and for these there will be ample accom modations at the four large hotels in Grants Pass, together with the score of lodging houses. Many will also be kept at private residences and the , committee having the caring for the visitors in charge, desires to secure a list of alt places that will eit'.er sup ply beds or meals to the visitors. As is the rule at encampments free fuel, straw for bedding aud hot soup and coffee will be supplied the campers. There will be public exercises each day and, eveuicg. A number of the most prominent men cf Oregon will make addresses juuoug tlieiu Governor Chanibettilltf! Musical and other features : will' ad' much to tho pro gram. The Medford Band, which is able to play high class music, will be preieut during the entire eucanipmeut aud the famous fife aud drum corps of Ashland made up of four old army musicians will give a martial air to the cainpj, ,t ". ; The busiuoss streets of Grauts Pnss aud the grounds will be artistically decorated by professionals at that business.

The full proceedings will be publii'ied next week. John Meade came in Sunday from the Eureka mine, where he is em ployed and remained iu Grants Pass over Monday so aa to vote, be return lug to his work Tuesday. Mr. Meade stated that there are 13 men employed at the Eureka mine ana that so soon as the mill is started in about two week, that the number will be inoreased to 25 men. C L. Eenney is the superintendent and W. R. McKenstry, a well known miner of Gold Hill, is foreman. The messhoose, of which Mr. Meade speaks highly, is conducted by Miss Campbell of Eerby and Miss Cochran of Grants Pass. The only other woman at the mine Is Mrs. Frank Hart wife of the eugineer, but now that there is to be steady employment several of the men will move their families to the mine. Life there is ranter isolated aa it is six miles to the nearest camp and 17 miles by trail to Seluia. The Eureka mine is located on Sol dier oreek, a tributary of Briggs creek. It is equipped with a 10 stamp mill, oyanide plant, assay office, black smithshop, office, meesbouse and bunk house. The lumber heretofore used was whip sawed, but a sawmill is now to be put up to supply addition al lumber for buildings and mine timbers. This mine was lately pur chased by Eastern men of large capital aud they are so well pleased with their property that they will operate it on a large scale so soon as it can be develoepd sufficiently. Iu order to get in additional machinery "and sup- J plies more cheaply than by packing over the present trail 'the company will this Bummer build a wagon road from the presout terminus of the Swede Basin road to their mine. The road will have a good grade and 'be but seveu miles long, the route across the divide from the head of the right fork of Slate creek to the head of Briggs creek aud down thut Valley to the niiuo.

Jospehine county's new brick jail is now fully equipped with steel cells and accommodations oan now bt had by crowding for 12 prisoners. Ti'is larger jail aud increase of cells bad beoome a necessity by reason of orowded condition of the little old frame jail. While Josephine county crimiual records show very few cases of crime by permanent residents yet each term of ooart bas on the docket from two to 10 criminal charges against persona and nearly all are transient residents, usually hobos. These hobos will not work so they live by stealing and begging aud do not atop at the commission of any crime no matter how hen lout so long as it enables them to gratify their wants and lusts. These hoboa are constantly passing mrougn fiqgue Kiver valley along the Hue of the Southern Paolflo, but their greatest migrations take place in the Spring when they are heading north and in the Fall when they are on tne way south to apend the Winter where It is warm. The new jail has two large rooma separated by heavy brick walls luoloa ing a wide hallway. At the front of this is the entrauoe to the building, while the rear part ia partitioned, off for a bath room, having a large bath tub, a stove aud hot water tank. This feature in esseutial as the hobos are usually reeking in filth and fre quently oovored with ve.rmin. The four new cells put in tbis week are of light steel 1 and iuteuded only for ordinary orimiaals. These cells oost 13150 which ia but little above the nrlna nni.1 .
