Halloween Dance.

The Halloween dancing party
given by the Grants Pass girls Thurs
day evening was one of the most en-
joyable aud thoroughly successful
social events of the Halloween
festivities The invitations sent out
were in the form of tiny pumpSins.
and about 100 young people responded
in person. The hall presened most
beautiful and artistic appearance.
being decorated with evergreens,
autumn leaves jack o lanterns and
ghosts. Dainty little dressing rooms
were arranged, aud in each Of these
was stationed a ghost, who welcomed
the guests rs they arrived, aud later
when the grand march was announced,
these same ghostly figures took their
places at the head and led tha merry
makers several times around the hall
and then silently withdrew, and pre-
sented each dancer with q program,
after which they disappeared from
the scene OF the festivities.
Three lady floor managers did duty

Oregon never received stronger en-.

by the Postoifce Department. As the
postofhce receipts are a never failing
index OF towns business prosperity
the splendid showing made by Grants
Pass office is proof of the steady and
substantial growth of this city.
And a factor in this large and in
creasing business handled by the
Grants Pass postoffic is the efficient
service given to the PATRONS of the
office by Postmaster @. E. Harmon,
Deputy Postmaster W. A. Newell and
clerks F. G. Mcintyre. Jas. Della
mater and Mrs. Cassie Green. These
people are on duty from about 8 80
O'Clock in the morning. until at
night and they are ever ready to rem
der the pubic the best service within
their power. They are deserving of
much credit for the very general
satisfaction which is being rendered
and to their untiring efforts along
this line is due the excellent manner
in which the constantly increaeing
volume of business is taken care of.
1t now looks very much as though
Grants Pass would soon be having
free delivery of its mail. for the re-
ceipts of the office are sufficient and
the other requirements can easily be
met. This would make this city the
first place in Southern Oregon to
boast of this rapid stride forward and
would be a sure indication of the
growth and development of this city
and tributary country.

GRANTS PASS BANKS
DOING BIG BUSINESS
And Their Statements Show a
Very Encouraging Condi-
ton OF Affairs.

Acting upon the suggestion of the
bankers Of Grants Pass. the CONNER
cial Club called a mass NEE citing,
Wednesday forenoon, to consider
what steps would be fitting and proper
for. the financial institutions OF this
city to take. during the furry in
the money circles of the country.
After an informal and animated dis
cussion 1T was unanimously decided
that it would be best to do as the
banks throughout Oregon and other
states are doing, and to be in readi-
ness to close the doors, ia case
run" should occur.
Accordingly a plan has been
evolved. whereby business affairs
In the city and community will not be
hampered but there will be less
likelihood Of a strong demand on any
Of the banks. This will be brought
about by the banks issuing GER iacates
Of deposit to depositors and these
will be good at any Of the business
houses.
In the meantime the Legal Holi.

dows OF the BANKS. in view Of the FIVE
days holidays proclamation as issued
by Governor Cham berlain. upon the
request Of the Portland financial in.
stitutions, and this will enable them
to close doors on very short notice,
should it be found necessary to do so.
But Grants Pass has not the least
bit OF prospect Of having ahy such
trouble. for the banks were never in @
sounder condition and they are ready
to weather any such troubles, should
they happen to come. as does not seem
at all likely, for the county and city
have never been in as prosperous q
condition as is the case today.
From all indications this little rip
pie on the financial doings will soon
pass over, both local and nationally
and the optimist can see how that
much good may result from such bit
