A BASKET BALL j TEAM IS ORGANIZED Crevnta Pass Bova Expect to Be come Chsvmplona of South ern Oregon. A Brief Record of Local Events, j ' The third eotertainmnt of the popu lar course will be given at the opera boue on Toesday eveniog, January 15. - A Basket Ball Team was organized l-Miss Marion Walter of San Francisco last week nnder the auspices of tbe American Athletio Club and Toesday evening a meeting was held and V. T. Truax was elected mauager, H. N. Wallace captain, and O. A. Thomas, trainer. In securing Mr. Thomas as trainer the boys were very foitunate as he ia well versed in tbe game, having been at one time an expert fplayer with Willamette Valley teams, and under his effloieut training, combined with tbe a bin assistance of Capt Wallace and Manager Truax, we are sure to have a orack basket ball team in the near future. The fact that this undertaking is nnder the auspioes of the American Athletio Club is another guarantee of its success. This club nr. ganized foor years ago and the way in which tbe young men have con ducted their affairs since then is well worthy of praise and commenda tion. They own the baseball ground in the western part of town and have on it the best grandstand in Southern Oregon. They have a football team which has been very successful! and a baseball team which will be well remembered by its many victories with tbe Valley teams last Summer. Tbe boys are going into the "basj ket ball business" with the same spirit and energetic determination that has characterized them all through as the leading spirits in Southern Oregon Athletio sports and they will certainly have to be "shown" before fully convinced that they cnanot play basket balL In the meantime they are spending all their All the World is a stage and Ballard's Snow Lini ment plays a most prominent part.

But the Observer's edi torial fling at Street Superintendent Gilfillan is too utterly unfair to pass nnrebuked. Mr. Gilfillan has held this offioe for three years and has proven an exceptionally efficient officer. His knowledge of cement and bridge work has saved the city far more than bis salary amounts to. His work has been substantial and thorough. The councils under whom he has worked have appreciated his value and a majority of the present council are strongly opposed to bis removal. In the late raiu storm, when over five inches of rain fell in , about 30 hours, the damage from overflows and washouts was, by his I vigilanoe and activity, far less than j it lias ever been before in similar oases, even though a pond of water id form on F street in front of the I Observer office and so co.ue to the knowledge cf tbe editor. Tho 12-1 inch dram which leads from this low ground, though running full and unobstructed, could not carry t away the water in such a torrential time and the water did overflow tho crosswalk and cut a little trench j through the granite. That the water j which comes to this place has not been I turned some other way is not the has kindly con sen ted to render a violin solo at the Newman M. E. Church on Sunday night. Evening services begin at 7:80 o'clock. The nnion Meu's meetings which have been held Sunday afternoons for the past few weeks have been discon tinued for this next Sunday in favor of the men's meeting held by the Christian church in the opera bouse Sunday afternoon. TAs a result of the heavy rains of tbe past week the wagon bridge across Grave creek just below the Mack in place, went out This bridge has a span of abont 60 feet, and it was carried down stream and struck against the bridge at Leland bot did not damage the Lelaad tbridge to any extent. The bridge cross Rogue River at Gold Ray also was carried out. Tbe semi-annual report issued by the Grants Pass Bankiug Trust Co., shows an iuorease in the value of busi ness in the last six months which is very gratifying to tbe managers, stockholders and patrons of this popu lar banking institntion. The item of surplus and profits shows an increase of some 35 per cent over that of tbe statement of July 1, 1006, and other details show the prosperity and solid ity which is maintained by the management.

Clinton Cook, one of tbe enterprise ley who is making a 40-acre tract near Davidson Into a profitable farm, was In Grants Pass last week. Mr. Cook is giving attention mostly to fruit raising as bis land is especially adapted to fruit. He has half an aere to strawberries and balf ao acre to other small frnlt and a small orohard of Newton and Spitzenberg apples. Another year he expeots to largely increaie bis acreage to fruit. Mr. Cook also raises hops and alfalfa and this last season from seven acres of .land he got 0000 pounds of hops and from 4 acres to alfalfa he out and baled 11 tons of bay at the seoond onttlng.

This place has a liO-aore hop field which Messrs Knutsen & York will cultivate, the remainder of the cultivated land is to alfalfa and they will feed the bay un the place. They will take op dairy ing and this Spring will milk six cows and increase the number au other year. They will sell the cream to the creamery at Provolt. i U.

The Observer cites two instances in support of its case against the street superintendent. One is the pond aforesaid ; tbe other is the "scandal ous" condition of the sewer in the alley in Block 10, Boundary Line ad dition. Where is this allay 1 Back of the Oalbraith residence.
