FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1011 WEEKLY ROGUE BIVER COURIER PAGE SIX COUNCIL ACTS ON OILING STREETS-BAD BRIDGES The' question of bad bridges on C and U streets was before the city council again last week, and argu nient grew Intense as to what to do with them. Certain councllmen want ed new bridges, others wanted oniy repairs. The result was the street committee was empowered to repair the structures. Phillips said C Btreet bridge whs rotten and dangerous to life. He said concrete was deeded. Myers said that without fill concrete would be endangered by floods. Phillips thought retaining walls would answer this purpose. Calvert stated that his idea was that repairs would be suf ficient at this time, that at small ex pense repairs would answer for a year or perhaps two years. C street needs an extra span, some one re marked. Myers thought that the city should not go to expense of $2,500 or thereabouts for a bridge on C street at this time; that when the street was Improved, sufficient dirt wou'd be at hand for a fill for a bridge. Herzlnger stated that he could not see the wisdom of continually fritter ing away money of the people in make-shift work. Phillips remarked that gravo danger existed now to life and limb, and that one accident and the resultant damage suit would cost more than a good bridge now. He wanted a new bridge. Calvert got In the game again and stated that he had understood that ths matter had been decided that repairs were to be made by the street commissioner, and he looked at Phillips, who was one of the committee. Phillips an swered "the look" by the remark: "I said nothing at the time we were on the groupd, Mr. Herzlnger waB ab sent and I made no statement; I make my statement now. Today we looked at the bridge and I now make my statement, that Is, the bridge Is rotten and a new one Is needed." The matter was further discussed, pro and con, with the result that no brldgeo will be built, only repairs OU for Streets. Myers brought up the question of oil for streets, nnd stated that lower Sixth street was much Improved by recent oiling, and suggested a heav ier quality of fluid for furthor work there, that comparisons might be made. Herzlnger suggested that a street deep In dust be oiled that the effect might be learned. Regarding the amount of oil aari cost on lower Sixth street experiment City Engineer Hobson stated that the amount .used was 1,250 gallons on a total of 680 feet; thnt one gallon whh used to every 2.3 square' yards; th'it the cost wns 3 i cents per square yard, Including freight charges for the oil; total cost, $130. Myers suggested that the city engi neer order more oil. Calvert thought it would arrive hero too late In the season to be of benefit, that It would be September 20 before the oil could artunlly be put on the street. Engi neer Itobson remarked that the uie of the oil In winter on macadam whs of more benefit to tho streot than in summer; that oil In summer prevent ed wear and dust, it wns truo, but that an oiled inaendnni streot in win ter whs firm and smooth nnd protect ed from tearing and eroslou by f loo 1 waters, thnt 1h If bituminous oil was used; thnt cost on tho oil would bo at tho rate f. o. b. lMchmond, Cu'l fornla, 2'i cents per gnllon for los thnn cm loud lots, probably 2 ecu' by the carload, which would make cost put Into the Southern l'nelfir. yards at (limits Pass, of about ti cents. Itolse, Idaho, bought oil nt I cents (it Itlclimond and It cost a tot.il of II cents laid down In llolse. Thus the Hoikefellcr Interests got 2 rents a Kiilltui and the Southern I'mlM. !) cents a gallon for hauling It, i ,"i freight tariff being nearly flv tlp.m grenter thnn the cost of tho oil. The street committee was einpowei ed to buy sufficient .iddltlotml oil to finish expei Inients on lower Slxi'i street.

Williams and little daughter, of this city, Miss Marie Williams of Portland, S. D. Williams of Merlin and Angus Camp bell of Hoquiam, Wash., returbed on Saturday to Grants Pass with the exception of Mr. Campbell, who re turned a week ago. The party left Grants Pass Thurs- day, August 10, with the intention of driving to Crescent City, where they would spend a short time and return to this city the following Saturday or Sunday, but fate had other things in store for them. The party left at about 2 o'clock In the afternoon and when about 10 miles out of Waldo, on the first mountain, the crank shaft of the automobile broke. This lett the party on the road, 60 miles from Crescent City and about five miles from a farm house, and with no pro visions with the exception of a few crackers and canned uoods, and with out bedding. The machine was turned around and coasted down hill to the nearest farm house in search of a team to take the party back to Grants Pass. No team could be secured, but the party came upon another bound for Crescent City, who had tunned for the nleht. The camper. were Lewis Brown and family of Medford and John Brown and son, of Oni Point, and thev offered to share their accommodations for the night and also to take the in jured auto in tow and assist the travelers to their journey's end. The ..... ... . . proffered help was giamy accepted and the night spent In camp. Next morning S. D. Williams and son-in-law, Angus Campbell, arose at day break and In order to put their hosts to as little trouble as possible, thought they would walk over the mountain, a distance of 10 miles to Monumental, where they would get breakfast. At the end of their jour ney, they found that their appetites had been sharpened by the keen morning air, but they found the Monumental deserted, and not the slightest possibility of a meal in sight.' They were overtaken by the two auto loads, with the Injured ma chine In tow, and at 11 o'clock reach ed a point where they were able to satisfy their hunger. In spite of their trouble the trip was a thoroughly enjoyable one, ev en their predicament causing more mirth thau sorrow and after arriving at the coast the party was pleaBuntly entertained by 11. S. Wooley and oth ers and the time passed so quickly that 10 days had gone before the re turn trip was made to this city. The machine bad been repaired In the meantime nnd the return to Grants Pass was made without the least trouble.

About 2 o'clock A. C. Hough, whose home is close to the Peterson home, heard noises at the rear door of the Peterson home, sounding as though a jimmy was being used to force the door and also the sound of subdued voices. The Hough home Is located jon A street and the Peterson home on B street, the rear of the two houses being quite close together. However, a large oak tree and a hen house were between the window of the room occupied by Mr. Hough and tte back door of the Peterson home. Mr. Hough got up and looked for a revolver In the house but, failing to find one he telephoned to the night operator at the telephone of fice telling her to put out the slgr.al for the police and call up the Peter son home. In a remarkably short inie he heard the telephone bell ring In the Peterson home and the sound also furnished an alarm for - the crooks to escape,, as no one was found when Marshal McGrew arrived The men had succeeded in opening both the screen and the door before they were frightened from the work Mrs. Peterson has been absent at Eugene, returning only yesterday af- ;ternoon to her home here. During ,her absence Mr. and Mrs. Cutler have been occupying her home, but vacat ed on Wednesday.

The Toledo people offer $101.75 premium. This is most satisfactory, In view of the small issue, as bond buying concerns do not usually care for such a small libatch".

District Attorney B. F. Mulkey of Jacksonville, has proven himself to be a foot racer par excellence, and on Saturday morning he gave an ex hibition of his 'skill which proved most enjoyable to those looking on. Mr. Mulkey intended to return to Jacksonville by the morning motor but arrived at the depot just as the train was pulling out. Thinking he could catch that little old dinky train he started in pursuit, waving his arms to assist in "stopping the train". But he evidently did not understand the Southern Pacific sig nals for, after hot-footing for half a mile, the legal light gave up in dis gust and returned to town to wait for No. 15.

Many chronic victims of these diseases have found to their great satis faction that It cures nn attack in a frectlon of tho time required by tho ordinary treatment. It Is equally effective in the flesh ailments of animals. Owners or blooded slock valuo It highly for two reasons: It heals sores and woundj quickly, and leaves no disfiguring sours.
