THE WON ANS CLU B
Hold Interesting Meetins. Made
Success of Entertainments.

The Grants Pass woman's Club held
a very interesting meeting at the
Bethany Presbyterian church, Satur-
day afternoon. The names of Mrs.
Davenport and Miss Laura Parker
were read and accepted as new mem
bers.
The committees which reported on
the Flower show and Philharmonic
quartette concert, show that they were
not only success financially, but So
cially as we'll. The committee on the
concert reported the sum of one dollar
due the club above all expenses. This
is better than was expected as these
concerts and entertainments are given
not to make money, but to improve the
class of amusements given for the pub
lie benefit.
All bills reported were ordered paid,
also orders were draw ON the treasury
for the sums of s2 90 and $500 to be
used in furthering the work of the
needle work and music departments.
A rising vote of thanks was given
to the New woter, Light & Power
Co, for their kindness in assisting
the CLUB with lights, etc, during the
flower show, also to the several news
papers of the town for their help in
advertising the same and all kindness
which was shown at this time.
The report from the general oonven-
tion held in Baker Oily, October Is,
was read by Mrs. Moss, who was sent
from this place as n delegate. 1t is
almost impossible in brief report of
this kind, to give the public any idea
Of this report, but several members
were heard to remark that for the few
minutes the report was being read
they could imagine themselves -as be-
ing in Baker City. The general con-
vention was conducted by Mrs. f. r..
Geor, president. 1t was learned that
there are now 80 federated clubs in tie
state all working together and all
for the public good in one way or
another. A great deal of work is be-
ing done for the reform schools, in
sane asylum and all institutions OF
charity, also the work done in the
towns is surely an encouragement to
all club members.
The remainder of the afternoon
was devoted to the program, given
by the music department.
Although this department has had
such a short time in which to prepare
their program, it was very we'll
given and very much enjoyed by the
club members.
The second number, "Isoldes Love
given Death, " by Miss Ethel Palmer.

In reporting on the draft of regulations
to be adopted by the District Commission
ers to govern electrical wiring in the Dis
trict Corporation Counsel A. B. Duvau
states that the form of the regulations az
pre- pared by Electrical Engineer Allen
seems to be correct.
Mr.. Duvall suggests that, according to
precedents the regulations should be adj
vertised a month before going into effect
September l has been set, therefore, as the
date when the regulations shall become
operative. The law takes effect on July 20
and a month from that date would make
August 26, SO 1t was felt a postponement
of four days would be wise.

prise at the recent action OF the Dlstrict
excise board In refusing to grant license

speak in high terms of the standing of the
members of the club. and request that the
case be reconsidered by the board.
Letters to this effect were received today

Bingham, Thadeus NJ. Mahon and H. Bond

exclusive jurisdiction in matters relating to
LIQUOR licenses.
