If any one I In need of a good (or bad 1 c raft It -make tlo ,"iM do ' 11 to t all oh Flu,, r or h.i In these days of railroad building It begins to look as If a road will be built from Grants Pass, on the water grade, to the Galice country and probably down the Rogue river to the ocean. This enterprise will have behind It an Immense tonnage of rich concentrates, as well as lum ber. The mining men of the Galice district favor this as It will give them cheap transportation to the Tacoma smelter and the mining Interest he Ing so large will, without doubt, in time wield the necessary influence to Becure the construction of the road. Such a road could be cheanlv built as a greater part of the way the grade would be easy and con sequently the cost would be moder ate. At Galice It Is said that In rail road matters much depends on the 1 ... .1 in . , Aimetia mines company, as mat cor poration has already a very largo tonnage of rich ore for shipment, enough to secure the building of a line to connect with the Southern Pacific, and that It may he they will not care to wait for a road to he built 70 miles to the coast when one of a dozen miles in length will furnish them the much needed transporta tion. The situation Is such as to make it desirable for all the com panies to unite In securing a rail road which will add greatly to the prosperity of more than a dozen properties In the Galice mining dis trict Grants Pass hopes that the water grade will be chosen and that the road will start from this city. m. 1 . . tins roau woitui noi 111 any way inienere with the proposed line to Crescent City. The distance to the ocean from Grants Pass by the Rogue liver route would be considerably less than a hundred miles ami there Is no reason why a road by this route should not be built. An almost vir gin country would he opened up and millions of dollars lu resources would be brought to a market. It need surprise no one to see this route selected by one of the great corporations in the very near fu ture. The Almeda people are in a position to secure the building of the road, H It Is to their Interest to have It constructed, mid we can see no rea son why It should not be, A GOOD POSITION' can be had by ambitious young men and ladles In the field of "Wireless" or Railway telegraphy. Since the S hour law became effective, and since the wireless companies are es tablishing stations throughout the country there Is a meat short a ue of telegraphers.

The engine havin font trend, will not allow pass it in many places. The Courier, in searching tor in formation regarding the controvert whic h has arisen, called upon County IiwIitr Ktenhen Jewell, who was glad to have an opportunity, he said, to give any information he could on the subject. Below will be found a com munication from the judge which will undoubtedly be road with inter est : "Editor Courier: As Inquiries are coming to me from citizens throughout the county concerning the big engine proposition, I ask the courtesy of your paper to give the present attitude of the county court In the matter. "In the first place, I will say that we recognize the equality of all in the use of our public highways. We believe .that everone who has oc casion to go from one place to an other should have the privilege of dolne so without being held up. We are also cognizant of the fact that traction engines have a legal right, under certain restrictions, to travel along county roads the same as other vehicles. It Is not a question of what the members of the county court may think about It, but a ques tion of what they can lawfully do about It, and at the same time mete out justice to all parties concerned "Individually, I hold that the primary purpose of our county roads Is to accommodate those who use wagons, Duggies, ana otner like ve hicles. We are straining the tax ing capacity of our county in order that our people may travel in com fort and any monoply of a public highway would certainly be unjust. Any attempt to operate an engine of unusual size over our roads and bridges at the present time will cer tainly work a great inconvenience to the public. Our roads are not yet ready for that kind of trans portation. The plea of progress and up-to-date methods has no bearing In this case whatever. The welfare of the entire people Is the first thing to be considered. "Our present road law is a little defective in that it fails to regulate the size and weight of such engines as may he permitted to travel public highways. The law, however, does require all vehicles to turn to the right of the center of the road when meeting other vehicles, and any per son Injured by the violation of this law can recover damages. "I am sorry that this vexing ques tion has come up; but our roads, bridges, and the traveling public must be protected. If the parties who own the engine can operate it without injury to the roads, bridges and public travel, then, of course, there will be no objection. In other words, It will be the duty of those who own the engine to see that it does not become a nubile nuisance " The public will understand, of course, that there are two sides to this question. The sawmill men. for the most part, are anxious to see the new lumber trnln put on the road as It will make Grants Pass a still greater lumber center than It already Is. They think the high ways are for the use of lumber men and such trains as they put on the road, as well as for other people. Just how the controversy Is to end Is hard to say at the present time. rr.WMMJATKS CAN BF FOUND fc VEHYWHEkF. POIVTTVGTC?
