THE LOCAL FREIGHT
George W. Chapin Meta Death
Neo.r the Long Treatle
at Lelevrtd.
Geo. W. Ohapin, for many years a
resident of Josephine connty, living
on bis farm near Tunnel 9, was ran
over and killed by the local freight
Friday afternoon near the long trestle
at Leland. Cbapin was seen by the
train crew to step or fall on to the
track about two car lengths ahead of
tbe engine. The emergency brakes
were applied bat owing to the heavy
train and the second engine palling
ahead it was impossible to bring the
train to a stop until several cars had
passed over him, completely severing
all tbe limbs from tbe body.
Coroner Smith was notified and
went immedately to tbe scene and
reenred the testimony of the train
crew and others and decided that as
the evidence pointed to accidental
killing it was unnecessary to hold an
inquest. ;
The deceased was G4 year of age, a
veteran of the oivil war and for
many - years a correspondent of the
Courier, signing himself as "Wide
Awake." We have no means at band
of knowing how many years he has
written Leland Sittings for tbe
Oonrier, as he was one of tbe oldest
correspondents when tbe present
proprietor became connected with
tbe paper nearly 10 years ago.

It most be confessed now that there

j make tbe giving of so vast and ex
pensive show with any profit, and as
' a matter of fact the business ordi-

J immensely profitable, and packed

A Brief Record of
Local Events.
M. A. Leach, manager of the
Lanioine Lumber Company at La
mo ine, CaL, arrived in Grants Pass
Monday and purchased the lumber
of tbe Keterson & Sllsby and the
Harmon & Hinkle mills. He left
south Tuesday morning.
No better opportunity on he coast
presents itself for a safe investment
than the building of an electric rail
road from Grants Pass, Oregon, to this
place. It bas been proven that a
route is feasible for a steam road and
with tbe large streamsRogue,
Illinois and Smith Rivers, and their
tributaries to derive power from offers
tbe best of opportunities for an elec
tric road. The country a road would
pass through is rich in mineral, tim
ber, fruit, farming and grazing lands,
that today is not put to use due to the
lack of transportation facilities. Rec
ord, Crescent City.
A. L. Smith Is doing the kind of
promoting that will do much toward
bringing about the development of
tbe vast mineral resources of Southern
Oregon for be is inducing practioal
mining men to come and locate and
engage in aotive mining operations.
The latest mining man to come here
is J. A. MoKlnley, of Cripple Creek,
Colo. Mr. McKlnely is a miner of
exporienoe and has means and came
here to locate. He is so well pleased
that be has sent for his family and
will take up his residence in this
city. He thinks that Southern Ore
gou has a good showing for becoming
a rich mining district when once it is
fully developed.
Clyde Jeter, who went to the new
mining distriot on Pine creek in the
Southern part of Lake oounty and in
.Northern Nevada, writes to Ms par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Jeter of
tbis oity, that he shall be home so
soon as Winter sets In which will be
in November. During the Winter
months owing to tbe high elevation
tbe snow falls very heavy in tbe Pine
creek section making it impossible to
do outdoor work or get in supplies.
SotgTeat has been the rush of pros
ectors to Pine Creek distriot this
ummer that Mr. Jeter states that
there la not a vaoaat claim within
five miles of where he is located.
Tbe claims prospect well but no big
finds have yet been made.
