Calves Carmen during this tour. says:
Calves Carmen is the greatest of
all carmens. because she Is the great
est dramatic artist upon the operate
stage. The successful portrayer of
Carmen must be a great actress, be-
cause 1t $ admittedly the finest act
ing role in grand opera, Calve is
first of all a great actress, and then a
great singer She declares herself
that whenever the orchestra strikes
up the overture from Carmen no
matter whether 1t is an operate per-
Torrance or merely a concert, that
her own personality unConsciously
slips away and she becomes for the
nonce the hot blooded and fiery daugh-
ter of Spain.
These qualities are what make
Madame Calve absolutely unlike other
concert singers. Her concert method
is unique because she throws her
whole heart and soul into her singing
Her art not only meets with critical
approval, but with enthusiastic and
heartfelt enthusiasm rs well. She
more than meets the demands of the
masters of musical criticism, and she
Is the idol OF the great public of a
score of countries throughout the
world
When she appears in this city she
will be supported by concert COM
pany of exceptional excellence. Among
the artists who will assist her an
nile. Renee Chemet, volinist COM
bining rare technical skill with a
subtle sense of musical expression. and
NJ Camille Decreus, a pianist with an
international reputation. Chief in
Calves support is the tenor Lloyd

ANTS GREATEST BUILDERS.

$50 FL.s.
The real skyscrapers are built by
the white ants. The great pyramid OF
Egypt is about 4SO feet high, the Eifel
Tower is 9S4 feet. the new Offices Of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance com
pany In New York will reach 658 feet
in height, says tie Chicago Tribune.
But these gigantic structures sink In
to comparative insig iifcance beside
the con-shaped mud AMI clay dwellings,
constructed by the ternites or SOCIAL
ed white ants. One CT these ant hills
recently measured by an enterprising
naturalist exploring Scmaliland was
found to be Is feet high, while many
he discovered to he 10 TO Is feet high.
The stature of an average mar rs
about 5H feet. Tie highest dwelling
house yet erected is about 375 feet,
or 60 times the height of this man.
The Eiffel Tower is about 179 times
the height of this man. But the aver
age height of a termite is about half
an inch, making a 1O-foot ant hill 240
times his stature. If we magnify the
n to the size of a man its dwelling
would be 1920 feet in height, incom-
parably larger in proportion than any
skyscraper ever erected by genus
homo. The construction instinct ID
highly developed in many OF the lower
animals. The beaver not only burrows
but builds a hut of sticks which 1t plas-
tiers with mud by Means of its fiat tail
that may be likened to a gardeners
grass beater; the tail also serves as a
store for fat to tide the animal oveI
the winter. the f1amingo also builds
a nest of mud. Harcest mice and dor
mice make spherical nests Of grass,
and many fishes construct nests in
which to rear their young.

was of a strictly spectacular nature,
the dances clever, music novel and
catchy, costumes dainty and appropri-

when we had the saloons. The year
after the saloons were put out Of busi-
ness, though our crops were com
plete failure, our cash sales were 2616
per cent better than the year before
and our secure time sales 10 per cent
heavier. II seems very ridiculous
ior business man to favor the saloons.
Our taxes have been lower each year
since the saloons went out Of commits

by the saloons being put out Of bust

EXPERIENCE SOCIAL A
MOST HAPPY EVENT
Ladies' Told How They Earned
Money for Church Re-
pairs -Raiss $3.50.

Last Friday evening the parlors Of
Bethany Presbyterian church were
filled to overflowing and 80 to 100
people found accommodations in the
body Of the church, the occaisou being
the experience social by the ladies Of
the Benefit Society. For weeks past
the members and friends of the
church, both men and women, had
been intent on securing any Job Of
work aside from their regular vo-
cation, by which they might earn a
dime or dollar for the church carpet
fond and the experiences related that
night were many Of them very anus
ing, and on the side of the ladies rep
resented nearly every field OF opera
tion from manual labor to high finsn-
ciering. and the amount realized by
individuals reached. in two instances,
over 81, Mrs. Geo. Cramer and Mrs
Geo. Parker, having the highest
amounts, and the full amount real.
lied by the ladies was over $170. The
men contributed about $50 Their
experiences were considerably less
numerous. although they represented
several lines Of labor. One man, how
ever, made a thank Offering because
his wife had given outside labor and
returned to the bosom of the..family to
take up household duties. Experiences
were related in prose and poetry and
their relating made fall evening &
program. There were ice cream and
cake served, which brought in the full
amount realized to date at $3.50.
The Ladies Benefit society has taken
in hand the repairing Of the interior,
the rewriting and csrpeting Of the
church. The rewriting and interior
decorating have already been done and
the church presents a greatly beauti-
fed appearance and the work is q
credit to the industry and labor OF
the ladies. The carpet will be in place
later in the season. The eXpendi-
lures for repairs and carpet amount
to something over $500.

A MARKET DAY-WHY NOT?

Market Day" has come TO be one for
the tangible institutions Of modern
industrialism on the Pacific coast,
and one Of the business men in Grants
Pass who is-s booster by both nature
and acquistion-never owned ham
mer-hss suggested. and quite perti.
nently too, that Granst Pass should
adopt the plan.
The idea is to set apart one Satur-
day In each montb-or more II
deemed advissble-on which all the
merchants Of the town will offer
special bargains on some particular
article in their store. and that at some
time during the day there shall be an
auction sale at which all farmers and
others may offer horses. cattle, sheep
or farm machinery at public auction,
the services Of the auctioneer for such
sale to be absolutely free to. the farmer
or other person Offering any article
for sale.
The plan commends itself to the
business man Of Grants Pass. no mat
ter what line he may be interested
in. for the reason that it gives him an
opportunity, not otherwise available
to meet new customers; to get In
touch with them and learn their
needs II brings people to town
oftener. aud ALSO those who nigh,
ordinarily 20 elsewhere tc trade.
Each merchant may make a special
price on some particular line and thus
every one has an opportunity to appeal
to the consumer. Market Day would
also.give tho country people-the or
ohnrdist the farmer land others-An
opportunity for an interchange OF
ides Of mutual benefit.
The Courier believes Grants Pass
should have market day once or
twice q month. Let the band play
and show the people good time.
Let Us all get closer together in eur
bore of boilding Grants Pass and
Josephine county the industrial factor
which she ought to be as . part of the
great common We ealth Of the state Of
Oregon.

DOES PROHIBITION PAYf

The following editorial comment on
the prohibition question by the Port

vincine that we present the editorial in
Its entirety. II is not the noise Of a

more harm than good, but 10 both rea-
sonable and logical. The Journal saws
whether prohibition throughout q

from purely economic or CONNER
oial point Of view, Is question now
being much discussed, and on which
there Is naturally q wide divergence
OF opinion. Some apparently woighty
arguments are advance by the anti pro
hioitonsts, yet the counties and small
cities that have had prohibition for
two years or more seem to be thriving
quite rs we'll II not better than their
wet neighbors. Perhaps 1t may be
said that prohibition Is = good thing
for an agricultural county. and not so
good for county whose resources
run more to timber, mines, mills and
manufacturing; or IL may be only
that II is easier to maintain prohibi.
