Address by Rev. +. b. Bartlett.

The Ladies Auxiliary met in re-
gular session Monday afternoon with
large number in attendance. Two
amendments were adopted, the one
providing for the admission of wives
of Commercial Club members with
out payment Of the usual entrance
fee of one dollar, the other provid-
ing for the setting aside for social
purposes of ten per cent of all money
paid into the treasury.
Reports We're read from the two
entertainments given under the au-
spices of the auxiliary, showing a
combined profit of SIS, which
amount will be expended upon the
parks. A rising vote of thanks was
extended Mrs. Gunnell for her gener-
Gus part in this work.
Mrs. Geo Parker, having recently
returned from attending the meet
ing of Federated Woman's clubs,
said work of this organization com
pared most favorably with that of
other clubs doing the same work.
Mrs. Parker's talk was enthusiastic-
ally received by the ladies present.
The feature of the afternoon was
a talk by the Rev. f. B. Bartlett on
What Woman's Organization May
Mean to Community" Though
short, the talk was pointed, practical
and inspiring, containing high COM
mendation and wholesome criticism.
He said In brief.
The things of higher worth In
a community are the things the
women stand for. The mems organ
izations must essentially work for
the commercial interests; that of
the women for those things that rest
upon higher ground, as art, music
and the attainment of the beautiful
In this line our city's greatest pres
ent need is a library. Owing to its
geographical conditions, this COM
munity is narrow. Books furnish
one of the strongest influences for
broadening mental vision.
THE ladies must also lend their
support to the establishing in our
parks of an exhibit stand. II Grants
Pass products are to have equal ad-
vantage with those of our nelghbors.
THE unity OF all the women of
Grants Pass can be effected only
through such organization. Here
iealousies are forgotten in the one
great purpose Of strengthening the
mental and moral tone OF what is
inevitably to become one of the
greatest cities in Oregon.
Though few are born to leader

the following notice
All owners of fruit trees in Grants

that G. A. Hamilton, OF Fruitdale.
VIII be ready to begin operations
next week. He has a new, up-to-date
gasoline outfit. Next week a thor
ough cleaning of the town orchards
VIII begin. l find great many
owners OF trees in the city limits
have not sprayed at all, and most of
them who have, did but an indiffer-
ent Job; consequently, everything is
covered with scale and other pests.
The large growers are working vail
antly to rid their trees OF all disease,
but unless all are sprayed around
them, they must fight their own
pests and their neighbors also. And
the city property holder who Is in
the habit of keeping a few trees on
his place must spray just as care
fully as the large grower, else be be-
comes a public nuisance. So next
week the city will be taken, street by
street and everyone who has not
sprayed or made preparations to do
so will be sprayed by Mr.. Hamilton,
and he will guarantee perfect lob.
Spraying must be done this month
and again In February. Next year
we are going to have clean fruit.
Phone G. A. Hamilton, Fruitdale
S11, or ]. f. Burke, county fruit in

tried to club or grab it, but the enraged
eagle fought them off for twenty minutes
drawing blood from three four who got
too close.

and then tied the mouth of the bag and
bore the bird to the police station.

WALLS OF BUILDING
FALL WITH WIND
Mortar softened by Continued Rains
and Bricks Tumble in During
Storn-Damage Estimated
at $4,000

Two high walls of a brick building
in the process of construction at the
corner of Fifty-fifth street and Mo-
meta avenue were blown down yester-
day at 1 O'Clock by the gale which
swept the city with great velocity.
The damage is estimated at about
$4,000. The building is owned by ]. M.
Rhodes, who lives in the same neigh
borhood. Continued rains softened the
mortar which held the bricks together,
and when the gust of wind struck the
wall broadside it could not withstand
the pressure and crumbled in with a
great crash. The north wall was left
standing, but if the rain and wind con-
tinue it may also give way.

MUCH ANXIETY FELT OVER
ACCUMULATION OF WATERS

SAN PEDRO, Feb. 12.-Much anxiety is felt
here concerning the deep hole bounded by
Eighth Ninth, Mesa and Pacific streets,
which is filled and overfiowing with storm
water drained from the Palos Verdes hills and
surroundings.
1t is estimated this serervoir contains more
than 10, 000 900 gallons of storm water and it
is momentarily expected this immense body
Of water will break through and follow the old
water course north of Eighth street, which
will throw it down over the main business
section of town, causing extraordinary damage
here. The continual downpour here is in
creasing the danger every minute.
