All that winter of 1910 and spring
of 1911 activity prevailed in the
town. Buildings went up, pave
ments, sidewalks and sewers were
laid, the water supply was perfected
and many improvements made and
many planned for the future. The
population increased with every in
coming train and the value Of real
estate went steadily up.
Since that time many industries
have been added to the town, while
numerous railways web the valley,
and the wealth of the orchards, vine
yards, farms, mines and timber in
terests is beyond computation. At
the present time the city Is five times

PRESIDENT TAFT
FAVORS WATERWAYS

Before the sixth convention of the
National Rivers and Harbors con-
gress, which opened here Wednes-
day, December s, President Taft de-
clared he Is In favor of waterway i'm
provements because Of their influ-
ence In reducing railroad rates as
well as their value In actual trans
portation.
The president said that both he
and Roosevelt a year ago at the con-
servation of resources convention ad-
vocated the issuance Of bonds so
that the project Of improving the
waterway, when begun, should be
completed within a reasonable time.
The president said he had not
changed his mind. He declared
that the advocates Of improvement
would meet much opposition in con-
gress to the policy of Issuing bonds
rlgnt out OF hand. Much more, that
they were likely to get from con-
gress declaration that certain i'm
provements ought to be carried out.
What the president advised Is to get
that declaration. Then, when the
time comes when a political exi-
gency prevents appropriation OF
FUNDS from current revenues to
continue the work on the project
during the coming year or coming
two years, the question of bonds
will arise.
He said the convention might not
agree with him, but he knows con-
gress. He advocated first to get
congress to spread on the statutes

impossible to treat of any ones mdi-
vidual acting above the rest, for they
are all equally as good artists. The
repertoire includes plays never at
tempted by ordinary companies, be-
cause a high order of talent is really
essential to give such plays proper in
depreciation and assure success TIC

ditors leaving the Opera house, 1T

At today's matinee the company will

entertainment and banquet this even
ing at its hall and it is expected that
several of the Grand Lodge officers

to the inability of all being able to get
away at one time it was finally decd-
ed to honor them by an entertainment
and banquet and for many weeks the
committee in charge has been planning
something elaborate. An entertainment
consisting of music and speaking will
precede the banquet to be held at $50
o'clock and this in turn will be fol-
lowed by a social hour for dancing.
Grand Master w. H. Paine of Show
hogan will be unable to be present
and in his absence Mayor Frank Red
ington has willingly consented to pre-
side at the meeting, which promises to
be one of the most interesting ever
held in the lodge rooms All Of the

but urgent business will compel Sow
eral of them to send regrets.

designed for the older members it is
sincerely desired that all who can will
avail themselves of this opportunity.
