BLACK PATTI IS CON-
ING TO GRANTS PASS

Mirth, melody and music is the
keynote of the performance to be
given by the famous BLACK Patti
Troubadours" who are presenting
the two-act musical comedy, THE
Blackville Strollers."
These sweet singers and ebony
colored fun makers of Dixie land
have been recognized for many years
as a high-class standard attraction
and one that has scored a pheno-
menal popular success with theater-
goers in all sections of the country.
Among the forty in its ranks are to
be found the most talented Africo-
American singers, dancers, and COM
edians in the world. Sissieretta
Jones, the Black t'atti, the vocal
star of the organization, in addition
to being the most gifted singer of
her race, enjoys the distinction Of
having sung before the largest au-
diences that ever assembled in Madi-
son Garden, New York City, and the
first colored singer honored by royal
command to sing before the former
Prince Of Wales, now King Edward
VII of England. In this country the
Black Patti and the Troubadours,
through their refined and enjoyable
stage performances, have added
largely to the musical culture of the
people. Their revival of sweet
melodies of the South-reminisce
of ante-bellum days-the plantation,
the cotton fields and the levee has
been musical revelation to mil
lions. Will be seen at the Grants
Pass opera house Thursday, April
Is.

CENTRAL POINT CON-

Large Delegation Present--Tom
Richardson Praises Progress
i've Spirit.

AT the largest and most enthusi-
astic meeting ever held at Central
Point. over $1,000 was raised for
publicity purposes for the use of the
new Central Point Commercial Club.
Large delegations from Ashland,
Medford and Jacksonville were pre-
sent and representatives from Grants
Pass and other Rogue River valley
towns addressed an audience that
completely packed the opera house,
at was one of the most enthusi-
astic meetings OF the many l have
attended," said Tom Richardson,
manager of the Portland Commercial
club and organizer Of the Oregon De-
velopment league, who was orator
of the evening and the money raiser.
Considering the population, the sub
scription was the largest | ever Sc
cured" he continued. "The people
of Central Point are all right, and as
whole the Rogue River valley is the
most wide-awake and progressive
section Of Oregon. as well as the
richest in resources. doubt II any
valley In the world, for its size, has
the resources and the possibilities
that the Rogue River valley has"
Delegates were present from all
the Rogue River valley towns. e. Il.
Blanchard, secretary OF the CONNER
cial club, representing Grants Pass,
spoke for Grants Pass and the desire
OF this community for cooperation
with the other cities OF the Rogue
River valley. I'VE are all one peo-
pie, with common interest, and all
working towards a common end, the
development OF the valley, and
Grants Pass wants to be considered
in the program OF progress" he said,
The Central Point Herald has the
following regarding Secretary
Blanchard.
"E. e. Blanchard, secretary OF the
Grants Pass Commercial Club, was
the next speaker, and he made good
In every particular. His humorous
illusions brought down the house
and his declared antipathy to sec
tionallsm, knocking and bad feeling
between the different towns and
communities OF the valley struck a
responsive chord In every booster
heart--which means the entire au-
dience. Every booster should boost
the entire Rogue River valley, said
Mr. Blanchard, Not Grants Pass,
Medford, Gold Hill, Ashland, Jack

the valley as whole and reap pro-

Ella Howard in the chair. Assist

ship were present. In reviewing the
work done for the quarter ending
March 91,1909, Gen. Logan, w. r.

urged the members to greater eff

Much information has been given
the public concerning pensions re-
lating to the Civil War veterans by
the Goth congress. 6597 special
pension acts were passed; many OF
these acts were to increase pensions
already received by veterans. The
direct result OF this legislation will
be an increase OF nearly $1,000, 900
Since 1851 there has been granted
by specials acts 26,324 original pen
sions and 1880 veterans were
granted an increase, the annual face
value of almost s5,250,000. Since
the close OF the Civil War in 1865
there has been paid In pensions tn,
sum of s3,654,653,365. It is estim
ated that 10000 pensioners dice

ularly. Yellow fever also Is in dan
ger OF being brought there now that
We have so much commerce by way
OF Salina Cruz with the Eastern
States.
Then, again, leprosy is an impor-
tant subject In local health matters.
Recently the Federal Government
has enacted legislation for assisting
In that work. 1t has established a
leprosarium at the leper settlement
and appropriated literally for the
study and investigation OF leprosy.
That is amatter | have been going
into a good deal during the past year,
and we are about to institute rsdl-
cal change in the policy OF handling
leprosy. This has come about large
~ as the result OF discussions with
Doctor Koch, the eminent German
scientist.
1t Is thought, In view OF these con-
citions. which are OF national inipor-
lance, that the Federal Government
should assist somewhat In maintain
ing proper local health conditions.
There is an emergency fund under
the Public Health and Marine Hos
pital Service. but I understand It can
not be used until an epidemic actu-
ally breaks out. and then II takes q
long while to get It, II we can get 1t
at all. So far we have not succeeded
In getting II at all, Prevention is
better than cure. Moreover, when
one of these diseases breaks out,
prompt measures for its suppression
are necessary. There should be a
fund that can be drawn upon for such
purposes. ...
The Chairman-How many lepers
have you there in that settlement?
Governor Frear---At the settlement
now $50.
The Chairman-Is the number In
cIeasing or diminishing as time
passes? .r...
Governor Frear-lt IL diminishing
at the settlement, but In the opinion
OF some physicians It Is increasing

ingly difficult to get hold OF the Ha'
waiians. among whom leprosy IL

ever, II is found that some of It is not
80 required and this Is to authorize
the President In such cases to restore
II. II would apply TO any property
set aside in the future
The second portion OF the section
permits the President to transfer to
the Territory the title to'public prop
erty actually used and In the posses
sion of the Territory for public pur-
poses or required for such purposes
For instance, the Territory desires to
put up $4,000 school building. II
does not exactly like to do II upon
federal land. II would rather have
the title to that land. II is the same
way with other properties that are
now used for streets and parks and
public building sites. and for the 10.
cal waterworks and things Of that
sort. 1t would seem that the title
ought to be transferred to the Terri
tory. or course, at present the Ter
ritory is acting just as II 1t had IT,
tie.
Then there is another provision by
which the Territory may transfer por
tions of its property to the counties,
For instance, II 1t wishes to turn over
waterworks in a particular county Ia
the county IL may do so under this
amendment.
| might say In connection with
this that the personal property own
ed by Hawaii, as well as the real
property, was all transferred to the
United States upon annexation, but
afterwards Congress passed u law
permitting the Territory to sell and
dispose of 1t and use the proceeds,
which was practically u transfer back
to the Territory OF the personal prop
erty.
The Chairman-Referring again &c
the provision about salaries, all the
salaries mentioned here are paid Out
of the treasury of the Territory ex'
cept that of the United States district
judge.
Governor Frear-No; all of the
judges In that section are paid by
the United States.

EXPENSE UNDER WHICH TERRITORY IS

Governor Frear--There are 10
Senators and 80 Representatives. 1t

All that is paid by the Territory.
Senator Warner-What is the dis
tinction between special session
and an extra session?

Senator Warner-Yes; / assumed

Salaries Of Judges
Mr.. Mcclellan should like to
have Governor Frear say few words
about section 10 on page in regard
to the salaries of judges In the Terri
tory.
Governor Frear--That section Is
practically taken from an act that
was introduced at the last session,
and II is incorporated here for pur-
poses OF consolidation. 1t raises the
salaries of certain officers. Natural
ly do not care to speak of the salary
of the governor.
The Chairman-What is the salary
of the governor now?
Governor Frear-lt is $4,000.
The Chairman-Andt that is rais-
ed by section 10 of this bill to
$4,000?
Governor Frear-Yes.
] should like to say a word for the
secretary OF the Territory. He now
receives $4,000, and his salary is in
creased to $1,000 by the bill, He,
OF course, acts as governor during the
absence of the governor. and even
while the governor is there he is one
of the busiest men in the Territory,
and really 1t is great financial sac
rifice for man such as ought to be
In that position to take It.
In regard to the judges
The Chairman-What salary do
they get now?
Governor Frear-The chief justice
receives $500 and the associate JUS
tees of the supreme court $500. The
circuit judges receive $4,000. These
salaries are thought to be wholly in
adequate, and think that II they are

they are loath to give their friends

conditions so as TO overcome that,
with a view to Graduating the dis
ease within Il comparatively short
time.
The Chairman-Have you any
hope of Graduating It?
Governor Frear--A great deal of
hope.
The Chairman-How long does n
leper live after he Is stricken?
Governor Frear--lt varies. Some
times he will live fifteen or twenty
years. The lepers generally die Of
something else.
The Chairman-Leprosy is always
fatal, Is II not?
Governor Frear-Oh, yes: although
the lepers generally die of some 9TH
er disease which they contract.
The Chairman-lt is an incurable
disease, IL 1t not?

shall soon loose two Of the members
of the supreme court who are very
desirable men and at least one very
desirable circuit judge. Formerly
the government of Hawaii, before the
territorial government was establish
ed, paid the judges. at least in the
first circuit, $4,000, and 1t is rather
difficult to get the best talent at the
present salary.
The Chairman-We passed a bill
In the Senate at the last session in
creasing the salary of the United
States district judge for the Territory
from $1,000 to $4,000. but 1t has not
been passed In the House yet.
Senator Warner-That is the same
we pay the United States district
judges within the mainland.
Governor Frear-The United States
district Judge in Hawaii, OF course,
has jurisdiction also as circuit
judge.
The Chairman-Ourd district judges
are all circuit judges, too.

Naturalization
Governor Frear-I might say Q
ward in regard to section IL. PrioI
to the naturalization law passed last
year by Congress the circuit judges
I'm Hawaii exercised jurisdiction tC
naturalize. They are given that IN
unequivocal terms In the new law
but the old law specified district
courts of the territories. and the que'
ton has arisen as TO whether the
circuit" courts Of Hawaii were
district" courts within the meaning
of the naturalization law. Some So!
persons were naturalized by the cir
cult courts under the old law. These
are very desirable people. The OBJ
ject OF this section Is to validate
those naturalizations SO far as the
question of jurisdiction Is concerned
This is copied from similar act pass
ed with reference to the crimina
court of Cook county about two years
ago by Congress validating naturali
cations by that court so far as juris
diction was concerned, but not In
other respects.
