PAST AND PRESENT.

Mr.. Leonard Carver made the principal
address before the meeting of the Cali
fornia Society. which was held last evening
at Scottish Rite Hall on G. street north
west between 10th and 18th streets. Mr..
carver, native of the state of Indiana,
moved to California early in life and grew
up mid the orange groves of the golden
state He spoke entertainingly last even
ing of the climate of California and of the
yearning to again see the old home state
when the first opportunity offers. He called
particular attention to the fact that Cali
fornians should never forget their love for
their native state. its memory should ever
be bright in their minds He said the days
of his boyhood had left an indelible i'm
preston upon his mind and the long term
of years intervening has not effaced from
his memory the time when in the great
golden state life had had its brightest hue.
Mr.. Carver told of visit to Joaquin Mil
Ter, the poet of the Sierras, where he was
for a time the guest of this remarkable
man at his lonely cabin in the mountains,
so near to the heart of nature. Mr.. Gar
yer brought his remarks to a close with
splendid tribute to California and Califor-
mans which brought forth much applause.
Mr., A. J. Boyer read paper on the early
life in California and the history of the
state. He was followed by Representative

eral societies of which he is a member,
which have as their object the preserva
ton of the early landmarks of the days
when the golden state in the early
stages of it's development.

the monasteries of the Franciscan Fathers,
who worked INCREASINGLY for the upbuid-
ing of the country and who, the speaker de-
clared, were undoubtedly the first settlers
of the land.
Mr.. Levi Hanford, who was one of the
boys of forty-nine, and who was intro
duced as one of the original 'forty-nners,
made a short address detailing how he, in
company with thousands OF others, pushed
his way to the Golden Gate In the effort to
gather from Mother Earth the great riches
which the waters and lands of California
were supposed to possess. He told of the
men who dominated the state in those days
and of the wild rumors that We're atioat in
those times which would cause proSpeCtors
to precpitately leave portion of the
state and go to another, finding not as
trips sometimes ended in the gold seeker
losing all of the gold which he mad gain
cred.

TO PUSH THE COTTON TRADE.
Efforts to Be Made by the Department
of Commerce and Labor.

Efforts 80 push the cotton trade OF this
country In the orient win be made by the
Department of Commerce and Labor in ac-
cordance with the revised Overman bill as
soon as the measure can be put through
Congress. Senator Overman has had a con-
ference with Secretary Metcalf as to the
features of the revised bill. One of the i'm
portant provisions of the measure will be
the establishment of agencies where in
formation to the demands of oriental
trade can be obtained and where exhibits
will be made of the different grades and
STYLES of cotton cloth that are acceptable
to the oriental market. 1t is proposed in
the new bill to appoint five commissioners.
some of whom viii make trips abroad to
collect further data on the needs of the far
eastern trade. Consuls will be instructed
to work In harmony with these commits
sioners.
The Department of Commerce and Labor
has already ordered an exhibit OF cotton
goods, such the English and German
firms sell In the far east to be sent to Ala
nance county. North Carolina, where there
are twenty-one mills now working on cotton
of the general sort suitable for oriental
trade. Similar exhibits are to be estab-
iisIed at ether mill centers.

FAINT INTEREST EXCITED.
Attempt to Abolish the Social Secre-
tary at the White House.

When the section of the legislative bill
annronriating for the executive offices and
salary of the President was reached in the
House yesterday after the statehood bill
had been disposed of, Representative Hard
wick of Georgia inquired what paragraph
provided for the salary of the social secre-
tary for the wife of the President. Mr..
Littauer in charge of the bill, replied that
he did not know that any such salary was
provided. 1t had always been the custom
of the appropriations committee to take as
law the suggestion from the White House
regarding the number and salary of clerks
required and nothing was known as TO what
any of these clerks did
Mr. Hardwick stated that he wished to
make a point of order against the provision
if he could locate 1t. Not being able to do
this, he offered an amendment providing
that no part of the appropriation should be
used to pay the salary to a person to per-
form the duties of social secretary to the
wife OF the President, or any service OF
that nature. To sustain the necessity for
this he read fsom New York newspaper
contained in the bill and that 1t would be
questioned when reached.
The latter statement caused a laugh.
Mr.. Grosvenor in a fatherly way coun-
seled Mr. HardWick to withdraw the amend
ment. He spoke of the high official station
of the wife of the President, of the modest
establishment the nation maintained and
of the adverse impression such an amend
ment would have coming from Congress.
Mr.. Fitzgerald On. Y.) a minority men,
Der of the appropriations committee, fol-
lowed along the same lines He was in
favor of making specific appropriation
for clerk to perform the duties of social
secretary
Mr.. Hardwick insisted he meant no dis
respect to the wife of the President what
soever He was looking at the question
from an entirely different standpoint. Eff
forts were being made to prevent the di-
version of appropriations, and the rumor
came that such abuse existed in the
White House. If it could be stated by any
one that the practice had continued in the
past he would withdraw the amendment.
Such a statement was not made and, the
motion being put, Mr. Hardwick seemed TO
be the only one voting in favor of his prop
osition.
At this point the work for the day was
suspended and al $40 the House adjourned
until today.

it is customary for retiring ambassadors TO

PROPOSED REED MEMORIAL.
Gift From the People of the Country
to His Widow.

EFFORTS are being made to finish as speed
lily as possible the collection of S25 900 that
Is intended for memorial of Major Walter
Reed, u. ). A, the demonstration of the
mosquito method of transmission" In vel
low lever 1t has now been about four
years since Major Reed died In Washington
from appendicities, and during the past two
years the fund for the memorial has been
accommodating. Several large and MANY
smaller gifts have been made to the fund.
wihch now amounts to a little over $4,000
IL Is hoped by the promoters of the move
ment that the whole amount Will be sub
scribed within the next month.
IL Is intended to make over the interest
on the fund to Mrs. Reed during her life
time, and after her death to devote the prin
clpal to a memorial In Washington to the
dead surgeon. Just what form this memo
rial VIII take has not yet been decided but
there has been suggestion that 1t should
be statue. In all probability were Major
Reed living he would prefer that it should be
put INTO fund for the assistance of some
line OF medical research, to which he devot-
ed his life. But that determination Will be
matter of the future.
At present strangely enough the bulk OF
the contributions to the memorial fund have
come from the north New York and the
New England states have been largely rep
resented and there have been contributions
-
which chiefly benefited by Major Reed $
work, and some from Virginia, which was
his native state. But there has been almost
nothing from any Of the southern states or
great southern cities, where the demonstra-
ton of the active agent in the transmission
of yellow fever has already saved thousands
of lives and hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of property. It is intended now
to make a direct appeal to the southern
states and it is thought that the response
vii! be generous enough to Immediately
complete the fund.
The officers and committee of the asso-
citation who are in charge of collecting the
fund are President Daniel c. Gilman, Vice
President Gen. Geo. Nj. Sternberg, Treas
urer Chas. J. Bell of the American Security
and Trust Company, Secretary Gen. Calvin

PLEA FOR REHEARING.
Commissioners Go to Court of Appeals
in Street Case.

Motion for a rehearing of the case involv-
inv the right of the District Commissioners
to order the narrowing of street between
4th and 5th streets northeast, which the
District Court of Appeals recently decided
adversely to the Commissioners, has been
filed by Corporation Counsel Thomas al
the direction of the Commissioners. The
case went TO the appellate court on an APP
peal by the Northeast Citizens Association
from an order of the District Supreme
Court refusing the injunction sought by the
association to prevent the narrowing of q
street. The appeal was made through Al
torney Mason n. Richardson.
The view of the higher court was that
the control power did not include the right
to narrow the streets.
A brief has also been filed by the corpora
ton counsel inviting the attention of the
court to a number of cases bearing upon
the question involved. The list includes
some which were not cited to the court at
the original hearing.

The month of April was trying

the city $229.50. This money was

GRANTS PASS NOW HAS
EIGHT MILES OF SEWERS
10 the LARGEST and Most Com pleto
System of ANY Town In
Southern Oregon.

Grants Pass sewers now embrace
nearly four miles Of mains and about
the same length of laterals and this
city can successfully claim to have
the largest and most complete sewer
system OF any town in Southern Ore
gon. During the past Winter main
sewers have been laid for the greater
distance on Second street and on
Seventh street having a total length
of nearly three miles. The work was
complied last week by the contractor,
3. Klovedahl. and was accepted by the
city. Saturday Mr. Klovedahl loadt d
his two ditcing engines, scrapers and
other tools and shipped them back to
Eugene where he resides.
Both sewers, as does the Fifth street
sewer. empty into Rogue river below
town so as to not polute the water
and make the river bank unsightly
and unhealthy In front of the city.
All three of these main sewers have
sufficient size and with the perfect
grade that the townsite has given q
fall that will give them capacity to
carry off all the sewage that will ever
come from the districts they cover.

FOUR SCHOOL HOUSES
FOR GRANTS PASS
An Eisht-Room Brick Building
for the Fourth Ward-Bond
Election to Be Held.

We're President Roosevelt to visit
Grants Pass he would surely calculate

number of bright. healthy children
that are to be seen in this city, and
those Eastern sociologists who have
<Rately been asserting that the Ameri-
eau home is rapidly becoming childless
{, and that children, in the numbers
found in the pioneer homes of this
country, are now only to be seen in
the homes of the foreign residents of
America, would have to take back their
statement in SO far as it applied to
Grants Pass, for this city, though
made up almost exclusively of Ameri-
cans, has very high percentage of
children to its total population This
large and fast increasing number of
children keeps the school board at their
wits ends aud the taxpayer paying out
with free hand to provide an educa-
tion for these boys and girls that they
may grow to be useful men and women.
and not o hobo or dissolute character
to be Of their number.
There are now 20 rooms in the Grants
Pass schools and SO badly crowded
are they that at least four or five ad-
ditional rooms will be necessary to
enable the number of scholars to each
teacher to be brought down to limit
where the most efficient work can be
done, and to accommodate the unusual
large increase to the school population
that the growthof the city is giving for
this year. In anticipation of the need
of the fourth school building for the
city the board last month purchased
two acre tract in the Third ward for
the location of the new structure.
This tract lies on the south side of NJ
street between Seventh and Eighth
streets. One acre OF it belonged to o.
Z. Smith and was purchased for $3.50
and the other was bought of Ernest
Lister for $500. The location is ideal
for school purposes. 1t is all level
