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.

A proas diHiat('h from New York

wlectiou of William J . ltryan. It has
placed over 100,000 worth in Wall
street district aiuos Tuesday. The
rate is 10 per cent.
Tbe policies have been taken out
mainly by brokers and finauciers w o
nre long on the market a id who w. re
Anxious to hedge against a smash in
touts iu the eveut of Mr Hrvau's
olection. In other words, at tbe 10
r ceut rate the policy holder.hai
Let, say 10,OlX against $100,000 that
Mr. Itryau will be elected. The ouiy
liffereuce is that, iu either event,
Ur keep the $10,000, thus making
theeddi against Uryau W to 1.

GOOD OPPORTUNITY
FOR INVESTMENT
The GilmAn Bed Rock Mining
Company Locate Below
Ge-lice Creek.
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. "
