ROGUfc
: tvAiur.c it thf
llama of lrUret to th Taxpavo. of Josephine County
rrom th Varloua County Officio la
Hx County Hold Hia Cash.
Couniy Treasurer J. T. Tajlor has
issued a call for bounty warrants,
covering the period from June 25, 1904
to July 15, 190. Th- interest on
these warroats will stop from the date
of call. Friday, November 29, 1907.
In sieaking of the matter, Treasurer
Taylor took occasion to remark to the
Courier's coort reporter that although
hi has considerable more money in
his keeuins than was necepaary to
pay off these specifi d outstanding
d' bt. yet the people probably did not
know that this money belonged to
niher rjarties. whose warrants had
been called, but who, for reasons bet
ter known to themselves, prefurred to
leave the cush in the costody of the
county. He told of one mau, in par
t'colar, who has considerable money
thas tied op and it has been called
for two years. Finally Mr. Taylor
called his attention to the notice,
thinking that possibly he did not ie
the notice in the newspapers. The
party replied that he saw the notice,
but that he would rather leave the
money in the county treasury than
draw it out. When Treasurer Taylor
inquired why he did not draw it out
and purchase other warrants and
thus have it earning more interest, he
remarked that he had a deal on and
wanted the money where he could
lay his hands on it, in case be should
need it in a hurry. Should too many
people take to doing this, it would
mean that Mr. Taylor's duties would
become much greater than those he is
supposed to have on his hands. How
ever, he hardly expects that many
people will be wanting to hoard up
their cash after auy such fashion.
Many Bidder a.r Interested.
Judge Stephen Jewell is a pretty
busy man these days and one of the
matters that is engaging much of bU
time and attentioa is iu looking after
the correspondence relative to the
proposed building of a new bridge
over tbe Rogue River, here at Grants
Pass. He has letters in almost every
mail from interested bidders, all over
the state. As a general thing they
want copies of the plans and specifica
tions, but inasmuch as there ia but
one set and these have oot the
county $.')0 he does not feel at liberty
to e.;d them around the county. So
he has to do the next best thing,
which is to give each contractor all
the information he oan regarding the
matter. The bids are all to be in by
January 2, 1908 and then the couniy
oomuiianiouers will decide whether or
not the oouuty taxpayers will be re
quested to have the levy made for the
erection of said structure. Thus far
the sentiment seems to very generally
favvr the project and this is especially
true, when it concerns people who
use the bridge in making their trips
to the county sunt.
Holiday Causing More Bother.
Those holidays are still in force and
they are causing no end of trouble
aud confusion at the court house.
This week the county commissioners
met ou Wednesday, fully eiKTting to
transact uiuuh important business
but they fouud that tbe Goveinor's
edict would prevent them from doing
anything much. They did niimagt to
pass upon a few labor bills that were
OQtatinding against the county, but
aside from these, they found that it
would be too much of a risk to trans
act much other business. Oue im
portant matter that was to have been
looked after, was tbe orderiug of the
publication of the delinquent tax list,
as required by law. Dut, a, matters
now stand this will have to be laid
over until either the holidays cease or
the state legislature convenes aud
makes proper piovieious for such
matters. The members of the board
are as auxious as anyone else cau pos
sibly be to clean np the volume of
busiuess that has beeu accumulating
right along since the holidays were
proclaimed.
Lumber Companies in Squabble.
Several months ago the Sugar Pine
Door A Lumber Co., instituted pro-
feedings at law against the Williams
( Pros. Door A Lumber Co., in the
I circuit court, claiming that the sum
'off 1000 was due it, by reason of a
Idivideudof fSOOO, which it claimed
th said company had declared, and
i inasmuch as the iSugar Piue people
! claimed to hold one-half ot the Wil
liams Bros. Door Lumber Co's stock,
J they argued thatthey must have one
! half 'of the dividends?" The matter
was in oourt but wai not folly settled, i

After Mora Recreant Husband.
Another oase of alleged wife deser
tion has been engaging the attention
of th oonnty . oourt, whicQ met,
with Jadge Stephen Jewell, acting
Judge, E. S. Van Dyke, depnty
prosecuting attorney, S. F. Cheshire,
clerk and W. J. Russell, as sheriff.
The complaint was madej against
Albert V. Schmitt. who resides near
Selma. It was alleged that tbe had
left bis wife and ohidren, without
just or sufficient cause. A bench
warrant was issued, requiring the
accused man to appear and explain
matters. He, was to come either be
fore Judge Jewell or before any mag
istrate in tbe oouuty. Later on
Schmitt patched matters up and it is
understood that the trouble has now
blown over.

Maine Road of Little Cost.
One of the least expensive and most
substantial of telford roads In the Unit
ed States is said to be the St. George
highway, in Knox county. Me. It is
eighteen feet In width, thoroughly
drained and cost only 50 cents per foot,
or $2,040 per lineal mile. This low
cost was possible because stones of
sultnble size for tbe lower courses
were beside the road and granite chips
were hud for the mere hauling from the
grout heaps of quarries close by the
road. A description of this road says
that its gutters carry awuy every drop
of water. Tbe lower course of the bed
is of stones of varying sizes, none so
big that a man could not alone handle
each, and they were so placed as to
tend to bind themselves together, al
though tbey were fitted together rathei
roughly. Smaller pieces were then
fitted into the crevices of this lower
layer. With long handled hammers
men went over this and broke up any
bits which were too large. On these
were spread gruulte chips from the
refuse heaps of the adjoining quarry.
This top dressing was compacted with
a roller drawn by horses, aud an ex
