ment, of Ashland, accompanied the

ous lodges of which Mr. Benson was a
c ember.

The body was taken to the Elks'
Temple, where it lay In state under
guard of a squad of local militiamen,
commanded by Captain Fred Stewart,
of company D, Oregon National
Guard, of this city. The funeral was

SALES OF LAND RRING
IN DELINQUENT TAXES
Of a total of $224,000 in taxes
due Josephine county, including the
city of Grants Pass, the sum of $65,
000 remalus unpaid.
At the sheriff's office it was stated
today that of the $65,000, the South
ern Pacific Railroad company owes
$15,000 for congressional land tax.
The company's tax on this land
originally amounted to $30,000, but
$15,000 of this has been paid.
The recent activity in Josephine
county land, as a result of which
quite a number of transfers have
been made, has caused payments on
back taxes to be made in such vol
ume that not a large sum will be
carried over as delinquent. New
purchasers have seen that taxes
were satisfied, either by the original
owner or by themselves, and the total
foots un a generous sum on the
ri'lls.
It Is estimated that when the
books are closed October 1 that Jose
Thine county will have collected up
Its taxes closer than for some years
past.
THREE PINES
The recent cold weather has not
been so damaging on the fruit as
was feared. Much of the very early
has been killed. : The prunes that
were In blossom during the heavy
snow seem to have received but lit
tle damage so far as can be known at
present. It is reported that the Pet
erson peach orchard has suffered
very much. Also the famous Ahem
cherry orchard. It is probable, how
ever, that the first reports will not
be entirely verified.

Pines Lumber company flume Is

' The last meeting of the glee club
was held at the home of Geo. Baer.
A very enjoyable evening was spent
by the large company present. Some
very entertaining numbers were
given. The Misses Corlls and Van
derbllt rendered a vocal selection.
Mr. Baer and Mr. Croxton convulsed
the house with a comedy act that
would do credit to many who do not
till the soil' for a livelihood, as do
these sons of soil.
Mrs. Baer, who has been In very
poor health much of the winter, has
recovered.
R. E. Daniel, store keeper and time
keeper for the lumber company at
the sawmill, had, the misfortune to

out and brought him to the South
Pacific hospital. The thumb will be
saved. Mrs. Daniel accompanied her
husband to the hospital.
On a very recent visit to Grants
Pass the writer was much impressed
with the Improvements now going on
there. The new hard-surface Btreets
have added greatly to the general ap
pearance and indicate more than any
other improvement the change from
a country town to one with city con
enlences and comforts. The many
buildings In course of construction
are of a class that shows perman
ency. The town Is surely on the up
ward grade and Is a Bort of Index to
the general improvement in all the
country tributary.
