PARDEE POLICE THE CITY PARK FOR PUBLIC DECENCY Hoodlum Shojld Be Kepi of Park and Off Water front.. Out Condition have reached a point on the water front about tbe city park just across the river which demand police regulation. The river In the vlciuity of the park Is especially nice at this time of the year for bathing and many of tbe business and profess ional men with their families might desire to Indulge In this healthful reorsatlon if they oould do so with Mafety. As there is uo bath house the brash along tbe bank affords the only ' shelter for potting on bathing auits and while this is most inconven ient and not as It should be, yet it is not the worst feature. A Rung of lioodlnnis infest the bank for the pur pose of picking the pockets of those -who are bathing. Only last Sunday one of tbe most prominent merchants in the oity, while in the water bad liis pockets reliuved of a purse con taining over $50, stolen. Bsiides a 20 old piece the parse contained a num ber of gold coins of small denomina tion and rare issue. Tbe party who tole tbe purse is but 13 or U years of age and a portion of the money ban Iwen retorned. There appears to be a number of Itoys aboat the age of the one above mentioned, engaged in this same ne farious business and other persons liave had their pockets relieved while Itathlng. Another most deplorable instance deimudiug police attention is the Indecency and vulgarity of a similar gang of hoodlnais who ieui to revel In profane aud vulgar utter autoes whilu bathing and Jin the pres. iuoe of ladles. Tbe oondition is a dis Itrace to the oity and merits the earnest and immediate consideration of the authorities. If these boys can not le decent they sboud he kept oat of the park and off the river.

ThFra are comparatively few people in Orants Pass and vicinity who aesm to realize the extent and importance of an opportunity which has come to them within the past few weeks or months through the locating in this city of the office of the Oilman Bed Rock Mining Co. and in an interview with Mr. Wendover the secretary of the company, some poiuts were hr.nieht ont which should be of general interest to the people here. "The actual work of this company has not yet commenced, and will not, for four to six weeks to come, yet we have already been directly responsible for adding aboat 50 pcoplu to the populutioo of Grants Pans, and this letter from Roeeville. Cal., tbows that tin re is quite an army from that town alone (all stockholders) who are prepanug to make Grants Pats their future home. Before this company will have been in operation a year, with the additional machines they contemplate putting into operation, the employees and their families will number something like 600 to 700 people. " No one, who is in a position to pass judgment, doubts but what Hogue River bed rock is immensely rich In gold aud for the past 10 to 20 or even 30 years, the people of the Rogue River country have been looking forward to tbe time when some method of mining would be pat for ward to successfully cope with tbe conditions to be met in mining this river, and the accomplishment of this feat will, without donbt, do more to ward advertising and developing this section ot Oregon than any one thing, ontside of possibly the putting of water oo the land of this valley. This company came to Grants Pass with practically 75 per cent of its stock disposed of. It started to work immediately building its barges here while the machine and other equip ment was being tuauuafuurted at other points. It came here with money; it is spending Its money here; it is brining new people, new families to Grants Pass aud it expects to become large factor in tbe develop ment of this community. It had good ruasous to expect some local support from local people for a local enterprise and it is a strange aud un accountable fact how really few of the lo"al people have availed them selves of the opportunity offered by this cornpauy iu an enterprise praoti cacally local in character and open lug np a new field of operation so long needed aud looked forward to the people bere for the list decade. This is not in the nature of a com plaint, but it is a luitter to be de plored that local interest at the home of tbis enterprise is at such a low ebb. The company expeoted Home local Btipport, it expected to have a a great many local stockholders. Ic I as not gotten them, but this does not mean, by any means, that our mi chine is net going to be put into ac tual operaliou aud that within the next fonr to six weeks, beet a so we have already disposed of all the stork necessary to accomplish this eud with the exception of $1100 to $1:200, and if tbis amount of stork U not sold here at Orants Pass whert it will do local good aud where the returns will he spent, it will be sold elsewhere. "The three barges have already been completed; one of them has been taken through to below tbe mouth of Galiee Creek where op-ratioua will commence aud tbe other two barges will be takeu down within the next week. The marhiue itself, which has been constructel at the Phoenix Iron Works, Sacrameuto, Cal., has already been built and is being shipped to Merliu from which place it will be hauled to its destination. Tbe com pany will be iu operation between August 20th and 'Jot h Stock iu this company has never sold at a less figure thau today and the small amount of stock available is going rapldlv at 23 cents per share and will undoubtedly all be disposed of within a short time. The company is oaly capitalized at 150,000 shares and 10,000 of these shares will remain in tbe 'treas ury with ;which to accumulate a a surplus to build further machines for operation in Kogue River, so that the investor in this company not only derives the benefit of the earnings of this first machine but all other ma chines put into operation la Rogue River between OranU Pass aud tbe Coast. We would like very much to have more local support, ws believe for tbe good of the city it should have more stockholders in tbis com nan t and we invite their snbscriDtions. but whether thev invest or not. we are going into operation in Roirue River' just the same.
