RUSSO-JAPAN WAR SCENES
To Be Shown at Grants Pass
Monday Evening.

From the advance sales OF seats it
Is evident that Consul General X. B.
Miller will be greeted next Monday
evening at the Opera house with the
largest audience assembled in Grants
Pass this winter. The great interest
in the Russo-J japanese war, that is
developing into the most gigantic war
OF modern times, makes the lecture OF
unusual interest and Of much histor-
ical value. Consul General Miller
at his post at Niu Chwsng, was able
to witness the stirring incidents OF the
war,from its beginning year ago to the
time Of the Russians crushing defeat
at Loa Yang, when he left on vaca-
tion for his home in Oregon and to
report TO President Roosevelt, by
whom he was promoted to be consul
general to Japan. Mr.. Miller met
many Of the prominent Russian and
japanese army and navy officers and
was presented to the emperor OF Japan.
Aud a part OF his experience as well
as honor was to be the civil and mill
tary governor Of the big city OF Hiu
Chwang for the two days in the
intrim between the Russian evaoua-
tion and the japanese occupation.
And this high honor came TO him not
in his official capacity but at the
request of the other foreign oonsuls
and of the foreign and Chinese bust.

he discharge his duties and stopped
the looting and disorder that he re.
ceived the commendation Of the COM
mander Of the japanese force sent to
occupy the city, and a vote of thanks
from the Chinese nandarins and for.
eign residents.
Mr.. Miller was able to secure a
splendid collection of photographs of
scenes Of battles, incidents, cities and
distinguished personages and the best
OF these he has had placed ON slides

All who were present at Consul II.
b. Miller's lectures, who saw the
photographs which he took. and
listened to his explanations, touched
and colored with the personal interest
of a partaker in and eyewitness of the
stirring events, came away with a
sense of having been taken into the
presence Of the scenes described. For
this all who had followed in the
newspapers and magazines the printed
stories must have been very grateful
to the speaker, for his easy colloquial
tone and simple language depeened
the impression of entire trustworthi-
ness, which his Oregon friends as
cribed to him in advance.
This lecture is under the auspices of
the Grants Pass High School aud the
entire proceeds, through the public
spirit of Consul. General Miller, is
TO go to the library fund.

has suggested. The entire machine is
made Of steel and iron and the only
wood about it is the tongue and dou-
bletree, 80 the weather has no effect
upon 1t and the only wear is to the
cutter blade. On the Road King the
greatest defect that is so noticeable
IN other graders is obviated, and this
is the side.draft when the grader Is
throwing heavy cutting Of earth.
This sidedraft is so heavy on some
machines that when used on a hillside
throwing the dirt up that the team
has TO be driven at such an angle with
the road that the leaders are almost on
the opposite side Of the grade. This
side-draft is also q serious obstacle
when crowning grade, or in
opening ditch. This side-draft in
addition to preventing a grader from
handling its full capacity Of earth and
of not doing good work, adds the pull
Of two horses over that Of grader that
has straight draft, thus increasing
the expense OF operating the machine.

on which the blade has to be raised

fitted with adjusting devices that make

is so strongly built that an ordinary
strain will not break It,
That IT would be saving in operat-
ing expense aud the means Of having
better grading done for counties and
towns having the old style graders to
lay them aside and to purchase the
Road King, we will prove by shipping
a grader at our expense to any county

the work we claim for 1t, we will ship
it back at our own expense.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz: Q) Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and 60 Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder.
Q) Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from kind of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil Of vitriol and from this
solution a product is obtained which
is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about
two cents pound, and baking powder
made with this Mineral-Acid sells from
10 to 25c. pound.
(2) BOHe-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to large manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder. The
U. S. Patent Office Report gives full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of
vitriol and with continual stirring
and in the following proportion
etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents pound.
(3) Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice from
the press in the manufacture of wine.
After the wine is drawn off the tartar
is scraped from the cask, boiled with
water, and crystals Of Cream of Tar.
tar, white and very pure, separate and
are collected. 1t differs in no respect
from the form in which it originally
existed in the grape. Cream of Tar
tar, then, while the most expensive, is
the only ingredient that should be used
in baking powder to act upon the
soda, as its wholesomeness is beyond
question. Cream of Tartar baking
powders sell at about 40 to so cents 8
pound.
Such are the facts, and every one
careful of the health of the family
should remember this rule:-Bakine
powders selling from 10 to rs cents 6
pound are made of Mineral-Acids
those selling from 20 to 80 cents O.
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to 81
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.

when he rambled home between the
shafts of his smart cutter with his
best girl gently plying the whip, that

One bright night recently Mr.. Brown

Guiding many of New York's most con-
spicuous social leaders. Miss Swan was
seated at a small table with Robert Goe-
let, Miss Mills and several other friends,
and all were having jolly time. Mr.
Goelet jokingly whispered something to
Miss Swan, who bent low over the table
to catch his words. On each corner Of
the table stood shaded candle, and as
the young woman bent her head her hat
touched the candle flame, blazed up, and
scream from the young woman sent
shudder of horror over the brilliant
assemblage.
The flaring hat and scremas from
women near the Goelet table threw all
in the dining-room into a condition bor-
dering on panic, and many women be-
came hysterical. A dozen young men in
evening dress, including Mr.. Goelet,
rushed to the assistance of the young
woman, whose head was enveloped in
flames. In trying to batter out the flames
the excited young men struck Miss Swan
several severe blows on the face and
forehead. Everybody tried to help at
once, and confusion was the only result,
while the suffering young social lead
er vainly tried to tear the burning hat
from her head. Her hair caught fire
and quick action on the part of Mr.. Goe-
let probably saved her from more serious
injury and permanent Disagreement
Mr.. Goelet pushed the other men from
Miss Swans side and seized a glass oil
water, with which he extinguished the
burning hair and then pulled the blaz
ing hat from Miss Swans head.
A physician was Immediately sum

moved to her home in carriage. Mos
of the damage done was to Miss Swans
hair, but her head and face were also

most composed woman in the big din
ing-room. Most of the other womeI
grew hysterical while their escorts were
attempting to extinguish the flames, an(
several of them had to be assisted from
the cafe.
