TO ERECT STEEL RKIDGH ON THE GALICE ItOAD The county court in session Satur day contracted with the Coast Bridge Co. of Portland for a steel bridge to be erected across the Rogue river at the point where the county road to (iallce crosses that stream. The bridge will be of 160-foot span, with approaches of 100 feet each, and will be thirty feet In height. Its location will be a quar ter of a mile above the Massie ferry, and about seven miles below Hell Gate, above Gallcc. The steel is to be on the ground by August, and the structure Is to he open for traffic by the first of November. Travel over the Galice road has had to crosB the river at the Massie ferry for a great many years. Mr. Massie having operated the ferry for about n dozen years, and it having been under various ownership prev ious to that time. The Galice road was greatly Im proved last season, and the building of the new steel bridge will facili tate hauling to and from the mines of the Galice country. The steel for the new bridge will be unloaded at Merlin, and hauled by team to the place where It will be erected. While the contract for the steel span was let to the Coast Co., the county will build the approaches, and tho cost of the completed work will run about $15,000. Judge Jewell and Commission er Barlow favored the construction of the bridge, but It was opposed by Commissioner I.lnd. who argued that there was not sufficient travel over the Galice road to justify the ex penditure at this time. The contract was awarded by the votes of the two former. TIKH It VltOl Its HEItK ON MONDAY NIGHT The Shelbyvllle.

METHODISTS WILL MEET IX (X)NFFRF..N(E HERE More good fortune has befallen our city In the choice of this place made by the commission of the Ore gon Annual Methodist Conference, which met in Portland recently, for the first five parliaments, or great re ligious meetings to be held In the northwest during the next few months. This assembly was secured for Grants Pass chiefly through the ef forts of Rev. Jeffrey, who attended the meeting in Portland as a mem ber of the commission elected by the Oregon conference to meet Dr. H. J. Coker and Bishop Cook, the repre sentatives of the General Methodist Conference which met In Minneapo lis in May. The significance of the matter will be more fully realized when it is known that the meeting, which is a veritable Chautauqua, will Include ten or fifteen of the most representative men In all Methodism. The whole matter Is an enlargement of the general Idea shown at the meeting of the Methodist church Wednesday evening, and Is the fur therance of the plan authorized by the General Conference for work In the interest of the various benevo lent boards fostered by the Methodist church as well as work In all direc tions for the good of mankind in gen eral. A general conference committee was annolnted at the Minneapolis meeting, which In turn authorized the election of a commission on finance, In every minor conference In Methodism for the carrying on of I this work, which is to be specially In the Interest of Home and Foreign Mission, Church Extension, the Freedmen's Aid Society, The Boards of Education and Sunday Schools, the Church Temperance Society, and the American Bible Society. Thus, each separate conference Is now working In the extenuation of this broa-d conception of the duties of the church in aiding man In all his en deavors for the advance of civiliza tion. It is in accordance with this plan that the five big meetings will be held In the northwest with the first of the five in our city, others following In Portland, Tacoma, Seat tle and Spokane. The men and wo men who will come here to conduct the meeting are of exceptional abil ity and talent, causing one to wonder that they could all be brought to gether even for so worthy a cause. Among them are Bishops R. J. Coker, W. O. Shepherd, F. J. McConnell, Win. F. McDowell, Drs. Edgar Blake, C. M. Boswell, C. T. Wilson, Mrs. Woodruff and Mrs. McDowell, wife of Bishop McDowell. The meeting here will be held March 26-7-S, and Is the parliament for the Eugene and Klam ath districts of the Oregon Confer ence, thus bringing to this place the ministers and lay delegates of all the Methodist churches In these districts, and although the expenses of bring ing such an exceptional array of tal ent aa has been named Is enormous, the cost to the local organization will be practically nominal, aside from entertainment for the visiting minis ters and delegates. The number which will be In attendance will be seen more readily when It Is realized that the local church Is entitled to 41 delegates. This is a great chance for Grants Pass to show herself to the outside, for all eyes will be turned to the big meeting In progress here and the opportunity for making a brilliant showing should not be lost. It should be understood that this gathering Is not merely In the inter est of the Methodist, but for all the Protestant churches, with the view of making the church of today a more prominent factor In the for ward progress of man, and to this end all questions and problems aris ing to confront man In his progress will be discussed, and the cream of the most advanced Ideas of the day will be presented to those In attend ance. This movement represents a great Look! SOMETHING NEW. HAVE YOU SEEN IT? A REAL WASHING MACHINE.

OREGON HAS ONE FIFTH OF 1'. 8. TIMBER PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 10. Ac cording to the report of the Oregon conservation commission, this state has 545,000,000,000 feet of stand'ng timber, or one-fifth that of tho Unit ed States. Unused waterpower in Oregon streams Is capable of pro ducing 3,300,000 electric horseno er, 2,000,000 acres of this state can be irrigated at a cost of $30 to $0t per acre, making the land worth, when irrigated, from J 100 to J500 per acre. The report outlines in a comprehensive way Oregon's many dormant resources. Because Oregon waa admitted to the union on February 14, 1859, a suggestion has been made that this be called the "Valentine State." It 's claimed that this pseudonym has advantages over the misleading "Webfoot" and "Deaver" which have done duty for so many years.

Plans are now being laid to make the 1913 Rose Festival the biggest event of the year on the Pacific coast.
