The IocbIh were all there with the Mr stick and tho way they slugged the -sphere around that lot was some- thing fierce, their batting alone would havo won the gamo by a good margin without the aid of Jackson vllle's errors. Tho boys aro sure routing up and playing Home ball, playing the mime old gnnie that al ways did and always will win, and if they keep It up there will bo nothing to It the pennant for 1909. They're on top now and hall playing like last Sunday's exhibition Is about tho only tiling Hint will keep them there. Osborne pitched the record game of the season, nobody walked; 7 batters smote the air thrice, and tip to tho ninth, no hits wero scored erf him. C. Wilson, the first mnn up In this Inning, wns an easy out; snd 8. Wilson, next up, made tho only hit Jacksonville was able to get. The next two men fanned. Thrasher, "the man behind." was there too, nnd one thing that makes a pitcher happy Is to know there's something behind tho list thnt's going to stop the boll. Jacksonville wasn't play ing the game they usually put up, and their errors all came where they rounted the most; It was sure a hard luck game for them. Grants Pass made a few errors too, but they wero so few and far between that they didn't count. The Reorv.

The return trip will be made on Tuesday afternoon and evening. The following committee was appointed to have charge of the details of the excursion: C. O. Coutant, M. J. An derson, H. L. Andrews and C. L. Clevenger. A. D. Coon, recording secretary of the club, presented his resignation, giving as his reason that he had moved to the country and could not do the work. This had placed so much upon the shoulders of the man ager, or publicity secretary, that Mr. Coon believed it best to resign. II. L. Andrews was elected to fill the vacancy and will serve as recording secretary of the club, while the pub licity work will be done as hereto fore by the manager of the publicity committee.

We learn from reliable sources that the Greenback mine, 20 miles north of Grants Pass, which has been one of the great producers of the country but which was shut down a year ago, Is soon to be put In opera tion again by its old superintendent, Cary W. Thompson, who has taken a bond and leases on the property and will work It with a large force as soon as the mine can be re-timbered and some dead work done. There Is a fine 40-stamp mill on the prop erty and a first-class cyanide plant. This property has paid to the share holders $1,200,000 and has paid a gross revenue of nearly $3,000,000. There, Is abundant capital to re open the mine and the general Im pression of mining men who are well acquainted with the property Is that this will again become a great pro ducer. As soon as all things are In readiness a force of 50 men will be taken on and mining In a regular way will be resumed. We also learn that the old foreman of the mine, Mr. Anderson, who had charge for eight years or more, will occupy his former position. The resumption of work on this popular property will be good news to everybody In Grants Pass. The Greenback in its palmy days dis tributed among the business houses of Grants Pass considerable sums of money annually. The new element In our population can hardly realize that Grants Pass was built up by properties like the Greenback and the placer mines of the county. They would be astonished If told that In the old days this volume of trade amounted to fully half a million dollars annually. During the past twelve months mining In this county has made a new start and this year promises to be a revival of the palmy days of the past. The business men of this city fully realize that our mining In terests are looking up nnd that the future of Josephine county Is to be closely conected with this Industry.

Truax says 'taint so and Presley Bays 'tis. Traux calls Presley's auto a "wagon" and Presley declares that Is not what Traux called his own machine when It would not go Mon day evening. Presley says Trim's family had to walk home, he had to haul the Traux auto home, ami Traux did aome tall talking, and all because a spark plug wouldn't work. We hardly know whether to believe this or not. Presley says it's gospel. More Canned I Vara (Jo KaiH.
