 About sixty invitations were issued and almost that number present.
 In addition to the flow of de- lightful converse ton each guest was furnished a pencil and the title of a song to illustra te, which lent merriment and employment to the occasion. Many were the crude words of art presented (and some were not so crude) at the close of the ten minutes allowed Then the pictures were arranged on the wall and the guessing be- gan-the one guessing the great est correct number to receive a prize.

Everybody seemed at their best both in spirits and beautiful attire. No need for this scribe to attempt a descrip- tion of the latter. Suffice it to say that those in the receiving line looked like fairies from Won derland
 At a late hour all gave a sigh Of regret that such delightful pleasures must come to an end but they must and each hand shake of farewell carried with it hope that others might fol- low where these led.

Next season gardening will be an
important feature in this city on
streets supplied with irrigation. All
kinds of berries and vegetables will
be grown by many families and these
productions will materially reduce
the cost of living in families where
the household understands the art Of
gardening This, Of course, applies
to those who have only a lot or two
which can be used for this purpose.

FRUITDALE PICNIC
SUCCESSFUL EVENT
There Was an Interesting AFFAIR
Pulled off at the Above POpu-
lar NcighhorhOOd.

The Fruitdale grange picnic last
Saturday was a great success. About
75 being present, over 80 going out
from town, there being no less than
a dozen business men of Grants Pass
who own property in Fruitdale. In
opening the meeting Mr. Bateham,
who was master of ceremonies,
spoke of Fruitdale and its needs.
Seeing so many people from Grants
Pass, he likened the occasion to the
pilgrimage of the Commercial Club
TO Galice and the Illinois valley. lie
said Fruitdale wants some things
and wants them bad. She wants
roads bad and has got them. Some
people say they are the worst in the
country. Seriously speaking, how
ever, we are going to have better
highways and the men are here to-
day to show us how to build them.
Continuing he said we want rural
delivery, a ferry to Grants Pass,
electric lights. and an electric rail-
road running through here from
Portland to Ashland and new roads
laid out and built In the past, he
said. they had wanted many things
and they had gotten them.
Judge jewell was the speaker of
the day and his subject was good
roads and this was uppermost in the
minds of everyone. His remarks
were listened to with attention as he
discoursed on the drainage of the
roads, the building Of different
kind of roads and the bonding Of
districts for road purposes. He made
practical talk and at the close was
piled with questions and many took
part in the discussion, and the result
was that all present gained many
ideas of the needs, necessity and OBJ
legations of having better and more
permanent work. After the judges
speech there was an adjournment for
supper. Talk about your tables
groaning under their weight of
viands, we had to underpin them
with punches of shingles. After
everybody had eaten all they could,
they were called upon to wash ii
down with two loads of watermelons
and barrel of ice water. At the
close, Rev. Brooke of the Christian
church of Grants Pass, made a few
we'll chosen remarks regarding his
impressions as newcomer. The
social time which followed was
greatly enjoyed by both old anC
young, and many were the resolves
to come again and join the grange

1000 Consumptives starve Yearly.

Cruel and inhuman practices are
alleged in a statement given out to-
day by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis against the eastern doctors
who persist in sending dying cases of
consumption to the Southwest.
Fully 7,1SO persons hopelessly
diseased with tuberculosis annual
ly come to die in the states of Cali
fornla, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas
and Colorado, most Of them by order
of their physicians. The statement,
which is based upon the testimony
of well known experts, and all avail
able statistics, shows that at least
so per cent of those who go to the
Southwest every year for their health
are so far advanced in their disease,
that they cannot hope for a cure in
any climate, under any circum-
stances. More than this, at least 60
per cent of these advanced cases are
so poor that they have not sufficient
means to provide for the proper
necessities of life, which means that
Abs consumptives are either
starved to death, or forced to accept
charitable relief every year.
1t is not an uncommon thing, the
National Association declares, for
whole families, who can hardly eke
out a living in the East, to migrate
to the West in the hope of saving
the life of some member Of the fami-
lily. In most instances, the abject
poverty of such cases forces them to
beg. or to live on a very low level.
Often consumptives who cannot af-
ford the proper travelling accom-
modations are found dead on the
trains before reaching their destina-
tion. The resources of almost every
charitable organization in the South
west are drained every year to care
for cases which would be self-sup-
porting in their Eastern homes.
1t cost, on an average, at least
$50 per month for the support of a
consumptiye in the Southwest in
