CAMPAIGN BEGUN
Municipal League Takes Up
the Work OF Beautifying
Grants Pass.

The meeting of the Grants Pass
Municipal League Monday night AT
Halls chapel was well attended and
much interest was had in the pro-
ceedings. Good roads and streets and
civic improvements were the topics

cussed Of crude petroleum as surfac-
ing material for roads and street.
and it was voted to urge the city aud
county 70 try an experimental section
Of a street and road treated with oil.
A committee composed Of Waiter

pointed to secure California author

proven by the large attendance, the

joyed the event was proven by the
hearty encores that we're given Miss
Howard, and also to Mrs. W. W.
Walker, who gave added interest to
the program by rendering in a most
effective manner some fine vocal
selections. Miss Howard, though yet
mere girl, showed wonderful self
composure and when at the piano was
so enraptured with the spirit of her
music that she gave no heed to her
