Mayor II. L. Gilkey having signed
up the fiye-year contract, recently
entered tito by the city Of Grants
Pass with the g. p. N. W. l.. & P.
Co., for street lighting, the company
is preparing the install the new
system. Such OF the incandescent
lamps as were Of but IS candle power,
have been changed to 80 candle power
lamps, and as these small lamps
were all on the residence streets it
gives that section a decided improve
ment in street lighting. The arc
lights have been ordered and are ex-
pected here soon and it is intended to
have the new light system al in by
January LIST. There will be nine arc
lights of 1000 candle power each and
while the location of each has not
been definitely fixed yet it is probable
that one light i'll be placed on Sixth
street near the depot, four on North
Sixth street and two on South Sixth
street, two on West Front street and
one on East Front street. The 30 incan-
descent lights will be distributed over
the residence district to give that part
Of the city the best service possible.
With this new system in operation
the streets OF Grants Pass will be well
lighted and pedestrians will be able
to get about the streets with more ease
than heretofore and the city will pre-
sent a more progressive and attractive
appearance to persons passing on the
trains.

TWO DEGENERATED CUSTOMS.

IMO DEOEN EhA Ell OOol Oht7'
While the old.tiine custom Of
oharivaring newly married couple
has ceased In most sections, having
fallen into disrepute with the better
class of people, yet in some places 1t
survives to the disgrace Of the com
munity. But IT is steadily declining
and from time to time, the courts ao-
cclorate its decline by heavy punish
ments Of the chariyariers who become
too rowdish. A recent instance is
that of Judge Hogue in Portland, who
fined an entire charivari party, the
Judge announcing "That a man and
woman have right to get married
without Interference from a gang Of
hoodlums, and that it is higi time
that the barbaric custom Of the
charivari, as for years conducted by
the rowdy element, should be sup
pressed. F"
The. .chariyari WAS a custom brought
from Europe by the French Crooles,
of the Mississippi Valley, and as car
ried on by them was a time Of inno-
cent merry making at which the
friends Of tho newly married couple
gathered and sang and danced and
with light wines drank to the long
life aud happiness Of the bride and
groom. But so soon as the Americans
adopted the custom, they proceeded to
make Of the charyari, a time Of un-
restrained rioting during which dis
graceful conduct, horrible noises and
often times destruction Of property
were the chief features. Only last
week Rt Hayseville, IN Marion county,
a charivari party, finding ordinary
noise methods not meeting their
wishes, set off II charge Of dynamite,
with the result that they wrecked the
house wherein were tho luokless
couple who were the victims of their
barbaric conduct AS now carried
on, the innocent merrymaking of the
early French settlers of America, has
degenerated into rough method of
forcing a contribution of money from
a hapless bridegroom,
Another custom from tho Old
World, that too was time Of mirth
and innocent pranRs, is hallowo' 'en,
which in America has become but a
shield for hoodlums aud yengeful
persons to destroy property aud porpo-
that jokes that are both senseloss and
harsh. And halloween pranks, az
are ohariyari seTenados, are being dis
continued by the respectable element
and the time is not distant when both
will be thing of the past and the
hoodlums will have to seek some
other way by which they can give
vent to their wild conduct and yet
not incur arrest and punishment NJ Is

INSTITUTE ATWILDERVILLE
A Well Prepared Program. An
Enioya BILE Time For Teachers.

The teachers local institute held at
Wilderyille last Saturday was a success
notwithstanding the rather small at
tendance By reason Of the nearly i'm
passablo roads which prevened many
teachers from reaching that country
school house.
At II am. Superintendent L. Savage
called the institute to order, after
whion Miss NJ. Lou Grubb teacher at
Wonder, read a we'll prepared paper
on "Reading, It's Place and How
Taught" " An interesting discussion
of the points was then lad, when ad-
journment was had for dinner The
ladies of Wildervile district mad pre-
pared a dinner that was all that one
could desire and which was served on
tables in the schoo lhouse.
The first subject for the afternoon
was American History" which was
handled by Miss NJ. Astella Goodin
of the Grants Pass High School,
Miss Goodin spoke of the importance
of this study as a power in creating
better citizenship and she gave some
he lpful points on teaching history. A
general discussion Of the subject was
then had after which Prof r. r. Tur-
ner, city superintendent Of Grants
Pass schools, took up the subject oi
grammar and made clear the knotty
problems that teachers meet in teach
ing this study. This subject was dis
cussed and then Miss Lura Austin
teaching near Wilderville, read pa
per on the value of normal training
for teachers. Miss Austin made {
strong argument in favor of teacher
securing the benefit of normal train
ing and of the better work it won L
enabled them to do in the school room
The concensus Of opinion in the dis
cussion which followed was that mod

almost certain. The last topic wa
The Value of Thoroughness" an
was taken up by general discussion il
which most of the teachers and sever
al Of the visitors took part, ard
was agreed that without thorough
ness, all the other work of the schoc
room was failure.
A vote Of thanks was given the res
idents of Wilderville for their generou
hospitality and for their liberal assist
ance in making the institute the sue
cess it was.
The next local institute will be hel

RECEIVERS CERTIFICATE ISSUED
ScabOard Air Line, by Federal Court
Decree Shifts the Status of Dept
From Carolina Northern.

Judge Purnell, just before leaving
for Hot Springs Thursday signed an
order in the case of Atlantic Seaboard
Company VS.. the Carolina Northern
Railroad, now in liquidation, whereby
| the Seaboard Air Line obtains a Re
cciVer's certificate for its debt OF
$9,515.52, upon the surrender by it to
w. j. Edwards, Receiver of SIS 900 of
the first mortgage bonds of the insolv-
ent road, held by it as security.
The Receivers certificate is dated
August 1st and bears interest on
1916. 36-the principal of the debt
until paid. The bonds held by the
Seaboard as security were yesterday
turned over to the court and the GER
tificate delivered in their stead
The original debt consisting of three
notes of $2,710.12, was contracted by
way of traffic balance and for equip
ment furnished to the road, the latter
consisting of II flat cars, box cars
and a locomotive, the title of which
was retained by the Seaboard Air Line
The petition, which was filed by
Messrs. F. III. Busbee & Son, attorneys,
sets forth the payment of the traffic
balance of $3,246.36 as necessary to en-
able the receiver to continue to operate
the road and that the material, which
it is in the power of the SeabOard Air
Line to take possession of, is also ne
ceSsary to its operation.
The decree provides that on the de-
livery of the Receivers certificate. the
Seaboard shall surrunder the notes
the SIS, 600 mortgage bonds held as Sc
curity and execute a release to any
lien or title it may hold on the roads
equipment.
The effect of the decree is to place
all the property of the road in the
hands of Receiver Edwards unreserv-
cdiy and to give the Seaboard Air Line
first lien for it's debt.
