To the mayor and common council

agement of the Southern Pacific Rail

of Fourth and Fifth streets as pub
lic highways across the right-of-way

the city limits of Gnvts Pass, and
believing that It wouM be greatly to
tho detlrment of the business Inter
ests of this city at this time and the
development of the community along
the Hues of material progress, desire
to place ourselves on record as fol
lows: We believe and It Is our counsel
that, Inasmuch as the city council of
the cltv of Grants Piifls In legal ses
sion duly assembled voted to accept
the proposition of the Southern Pa
cific Railway company through Gen
eral Manager O'nrlen In his letter
wherein, a a compromise measure
with the city, he offers to allow the
city to open Fourth street across the
station grounds of tho company In
Grants Pbrs, with the advice that the
company would arrange at once to
move their freight depot to a location
on Hfth street, that the said city
council Khould at once authorize the
Itwuunrc of a permit to the naWl
Southern Pacific company to place
their mild eight depot at Its pro
posed site on Fifth street and to be
Kln Immediate, steps for the opening
of Fourth street across the station

and the building for us of a most;
commodious and beautiful passenger
depot on Eighth street.
We believe It is for the mutual In
terests of the Southern Pacific RaIl-(
way company and Grants Pass as a
community that we should work to-J
gether in harmony and co-operation
for the development of our many lat-j
ent resources and the material pro-j
gress at this part of the Rogue River ;
vaPey, realizing that whatever tends j
toward the building up of a greater)
Grants Pass and the Rogue River val-;
ley is also adding to the local profits j
of the transportation company, which j
serves the community, and that It is j
our wish to heartily co-operate with :
the said Southern Pacific company in i
the future In all matters that per-;
tain to the general good of our mu- j
tunl Interests.
COUNCIL WILL NOT
OPPOSE FISH RACK
The city council met last evening
in informal session to hear Henry j
O'Malley of the government fisheries
service explain that the fish rack to j
go In Rogue river at the riffle a short !
distance above the white rocks, would
be a benefit to the river In a sanitary
way instead of a detriment. j
The session was brief, yet in that j
short time Mr. O'Malley explained
fully the work of ensnaring fish for '
hatchery purposes. He stated that!
the rack will be placed across the ;
river Just above the riffle, as the!
riffle was sought by the salmon as
a spawning ground. The workmen !
would go below this point with nets ,
and sweep In the fish. J
When captured the lot will be han
dled rapidly, all of the "ripe" ones
held, the green ones thrown back Into
the stream. The "ripe" fish are '
those ready to spawn, the "green" j
ones those not ready. On a platform ,
in the river the ripe fish will be1
"butchered," that being the term j
used when the fish are ripped open
to get the eggs. The government j
man admitted that blood from this
butchery would run Into the water, ;
but that It was not considered Buffi-!
cient to pollute the stream. He as-1
sured the eounellmen that the many
hundreds of pounds of butchered fish j
would be given to farmers for fertl-;
llzer, burned or burled, and none al-i
lowed to pollute the water. 1
As to dead fish coming from above, i
i
which had been killed at different!
dams, that these would lodge against i
the rack and be promptly taken from
the water, thus keeping the water in
a more sanitary condition than It Is I
now.
Constable Mock was present, and
naked several questions; and as
Mock Is an expert on fish and fish
ing, his questions were pertinent. He
asked O'Malley If fish coming up
stream would not be killed against !
tho rack, and then drop back In the
deep water Just below the riffle. O'-i
Malley said no. Mock then stated '
that he had seen the same thing els-'
where. O'Malley said ' was the first !
time ho had ever heard of this con-!
dltlon, Mock stood pat.
Tho. eounellmen agreed that the
river water was In a deplorable con-1
dltlon, and that It was possible, as'
O'Malley promised, that the fish
rack would Improve matters, hence
Mayor Myers and nil the eounellmen.
except Hoggins, who was absent,
agreed that they would not Interpose
n n objection.
O'Mnlley will put In another trap'
on the Applegnte. In Grants Pa. ,
he will use the old Ice house as a
hatchery. Usually he gets from three (
millions to four millions of young
fish ns a result of a season's hatch
ing; here, however, he expects to
hatch ten i.tllllons. These will be
nurtured through the winter and
turned louse In the Rmrue the latter j
part of March
