After the installation of officers, everyone repaired to the banquet room to a delightful feast gotten up by the Rebekahs. The Grants Pass Commercial club has gone on record as favoring a riv er open to commercial fishing to the steel bridge across the Rogue at the end of Sixth street, but unless It can be opened to that point the senator and the representative from this county will hb requested to vote against opening the river at all. It is recognized that to open the river only to the mouth of the Illinois riv er will create a monopoly in the in terests of the cannery located there, and will result in no benefits to the rest of the valley. The club will use its best endeavors to have a bill passed by the legislature to opeu the river to fishing with nets with a mesh no smaller than S 1-2 inches in spread, but prohibiting the use of seines. This is the bill that has been recommended by both the commer cial fishermen of the city, and the Game and Game Fish Protective association. nAPPY WOMEN.

One of the meu who has created a reign of terror in Rogue valley post offices for the past mouth, robbing five of Uncle Sam's institutions, has just been arrested at Rosebtirg, ac cording to a dispatch received Mon day afternoon by Chief McLean. Among the plunder taken from the postofllces looted were several hun dred pennies. Las Wednesday af ternoon a woman appeared at "the Josephine county bank and wanted to exchange 775 pennies for coin more convenient to carry. She ex plained her possession of these pen nies by saying that her little girl had been saving them up, but thut now they had become too bulky to carry around In their travels. Chief McLean saw tha woman turn ing the pennies In at the bank, and at once took up the clue. Ho traced the woman to the Josephine hotel, where she was staying with her husband and two small children, the man hav ing registered as J. Allison. That night the Rogue River post office was entered, and the robber re turned to Grants Pass on a speeder taken from the Rogue River depot, and ditched to the east of the depot here. A man answering the descrip tion of Allison had been seen at Rogue River the evening before the robbery. Thursday morning Allison and his family took No. 20, purchasing tic kets for Roseburg. At the latter city they were continually shadowed by the officers, and Monday after noon L. B. Moore, railroad detective, wired that he had made the arrest, and had found the proceeds of the various robberies upon the man. A second man is supposed to have been implicated in the burglaries, but !i has imt been located. The mystery of ths exploding well at Three Pines is to be solved. An expert from the oil regions of Texas has visited the phenomenon, and he says unequivocally that the well is over a body of petroleum, and that escaping gases are responsible for the grumblings and the rmitterlngs and the more violent eruptions that daily churn the six feet of water Into mud, and that have made J lie neigh bors believe that Three Pines was located over the place we read about. A thick scum of oil now rises daily on the surface of the water In the well after the eruptions, and samples recently brought to the Courier of fice would indicate unmistakably that It Is petroleum. O. Moore, the Texan who was called to Investigate the well, pronounced It petroleum, and so positive was he of his diag nosis that an oil well drilling outfit has been ordered, to be on the ground within a week or ten days, and a hole will be punched down In to the bowels of the earth when con fidence Is expressed that a stream of the wealth-giving fluid will be en-j countered. I Three Pines Is 1154 feet above the sea level, and Mr. Moore says that ho expects to find the great body of oil lying below sea level, which will ne-1 cessltate drilling 1200 or more feet In depth. For the purpose of exploit ing this oil field, the Davis & Moore Oil Co. is being organized, and leases have been taken on 1,000 acres of land immediately surroutid lng the town of Three Pines. The Davis well, In which the oil Indica tions have been found, Is located near the center of the forty-acre townslte. Under the lease terms, the property owjier Is to have one- twelfth of the product of his prop erty In case oil Is found beneath It, leases of this kind having been sign ed to the new company. Stock In the company will probably be offered lo cally to raise funds for the develop ment work that Is to be done. The history of this well has been previously told In the Courier. It was dug last July by D. W. Davis, being 41 1-2 feet In depth. The ex cavation was the entire depth through granite, the depth of water being six feet. Early in December the first peculiarity In the conduct of the well was noted, at that time It having occasional upheavals from the bottom, and the water was ruined for house use. Recently J. C. Randle of this city visited the well, and he found a mist rising from the surface of the water, the water itself being much warmer than that of neighbor ing wells. The outcome of the sinking of this first test hole will be watched with Interest, for those who are best ac quainted with the conditions sur rounding wells are confident that the Rogue valley is about to add another to the already long list of resources.
