Many New Homes.

Investigation shows that many
new buildings will soon be under
construction in Grants Pass during
the summer and fall. These for the
most part will be put up by new
comers who are already arriving.
These people have been attracted by
our superior climate and the con-
stantly increasing popularity of
Grants Pass as a residence city. Our
schools and churches have much to
do with bringing to us desirable peo-
pie. Grants Pass will be noted with
In a year as being a city of beautiful
homes, as the residences are tending
each year towards a better class.
With the introduction of cheap irri-
cation our lawns and gardens will
vie with each other in making beau
tiful places.

Word was received here Monday
morning of the injury of Carol

ed to place the stars and stripes in
the top of the tree for the 4th of
July. When he was about 35 feet
up, the board on which he was stand
ing gave way and he fell to the
ground, breaking both ankles and
inJuring his back. The accident oc
Cured at o'clock Monday morning
and Mr.. and Mrs. Cornell were noti-
fled by telephone and at once left bv

Loughridge with them. Although
all possible speed was made. it was
2 o'clock in the afternoon before the
broken bones were set by DR.. Lough-
ridge, assisted by DR.. Smith, of
Galice.
Carol is a bright boy, 1S years of
age, and 1t was most unfortunate
mat his patriotism should have
'aused him so much suffering. He
'assed a bad night Monday. and
Tuesday he could not move his fin
gers, the jar from the fall having
'een so severe as to cause a shock

equal OF any other city in the coun-
try A good telephone service is all
important and will go far to help in
securing other up-to-date civic i'm
provements. With this new tele-
phones service the old style calling
OF central will be done away with
Taking down the receiver rings your
bell in the central station and the
operator ask for the number Won
wish This number will be repeated
by the operator after you so that
you may know that you have not
been misunderstood. All this is done
and you have your party before you
could get central under the present
system. Another very important
thing is that the new system will be
more distinct than the present. The
complicated ten-party line will also
be done away with and this of itself
VIII be blessinc There are other
advantages too numerous to mention
which will be ours as soon as the
new system is cut in.
