For the sake Of variety, we would be glad

During the past week the genial
hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs David
Briggs was much enjoyed by Mr.. and
Mrs. Hobert p Sage, Of Seattle, and
their daughters, Miss Alexa and Ber-
nice who have been spending the past
two months in the mount ins. An
enjoyable trip was made to the
Takilma smelter on Monday and much
interest was shown by different mem
bers of the party in the smelling of
the ore. Miss Alexa, who will re-
turn to Aquinas Academy in few
days Is delighted with a number of
enormous pine cones, which she has
obtained and is taking to college with
her.
The young folks are making the
most of the remaining few merry
days left before returning to school
Roy and Ray Briggs are leaving home

GRANTS PASS PROGRESSES
Merchants Enlarge Stores-Cal-
houn in the Procession.

George G. Calhoun demonstrated
several years ago that he could sell
groceries, ne conducting one Of the
largest grocery stores in Grants Pass,
and now he is proving that he
can sell clothing. Last fall Mr..
Calhoun put in small, bot well
selected stock of mems goods in the
corner of the Howard block. To this
stock he has steadily added until the
shelving would no longer hold the
goods and this week he has had car
penters at work putting in additional
shelving. In the main store the
shelving il being extended to the
ceiling, and he is also having shelves
placed in his wareroom for holding
surplus goods.
With the increased capacity of his
store, Mr.. Calhoun will be able to
carry fully one-fourth more goods.
This increase to his stock indicates
that Mr.. Calhoun has confidence in
the growth rf Grants Pass and a
steady Improvement in trade condi-
tions that will afford ample business
to himself and the two other large
exclusive clothing stores, and to the
six other firms in the city that carry
mem goods in connection with other
lines And all this proves that
Crafts Pass is growing and larger
stocks of goods are required to enable
the merchants to fully cater to theil
trade.

Women Use Stub Pens.

IF were to judge BY my correspond

of the human race is being gradually
usurped by tns feminine portion there
of. 1t positively thrills me with forebod-
ines as to the future of my sex to COM
pare the handwriting of men and women.
In most cases the letters get written by
the former are done in q wavering, deli
cate hand which gives the impression
that the writer is apologizing at alter
nate words for being SO bold as to say
what he thought, whereas the women set
down their opinions in heavy, business
like strokes that can be read half way
across the room. Possibly those strong
lines are due as much to stub pen as to
temperamentai virility. Twice as many
women as men use stubs. That fact in it.
self may argue increased strength of
character in the sweet sex. To my mind
the matter really calls for serious con-
sideration.-N. Y. Herald.

With green shoots a-peeking through

Every evenin' full o smoke.

or the birds sweet nesting song.
And the country lures and coaXes
And your heart says: Go along!
In the evening there's the walking
Through the spring awaking street.
In the evening there are carpets
Hanging out for you to beat.
And at lunch time there's your he.pmee
With a dustrag on her head.
And you cat some cold potatoes
And a slice Of last weeks bread,
And you eat it in a hurry
And YOU gulp your coffee down
So that YOU can hang some pictures
Ere yoll hustle back to town.
There are ladies' restrooms furnished
In most every town you know;
But in tie house-cieaning season

Tie washla6y has each spread!
Poor poor man. in this glad season
Hath not where to lay his head.

Effects Of Prosperity.

In the six years of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903,
average prices of breadstuffs advanced
IS per cent, meats 23.1 per cent. dairy
and garden products SOL per cent. and
clothing 24.1. All these were products
OF the farmer and stockman who
proAted more than any other class OF
the community by these advances.
The miner benefited. 42.1 per cent. by
that advance in the average price of
metals. The only decrease In the
average prices of commodities in that
period was in railway freight rates,
which decreased from .79S per ton-mile

average increase in the pay of rail-
road employees in that period was q
trife above SIS per cent.
