Labor Day was observed by the
letter carriers of the city and some
few other people last Monday, but
there was nothing in the way of a
program undertaken. Labor Day
should be sacred to the calling which
1t represents and It Is only right to
give all classes an opportunity to
join In the celebration. It Is to be
hoped that another year the occa-
sion will be observed as 1t should
be. This country OF ours Is so large
ly dependent upon labor that to neg
lect the proper observance of the
day set apart by law for this pur-
pose is to neglect our best interests.

City and County improvements.

From present appearances Grants
Pass will be able to make a good
showing in the way of new buildings
for the year 1909. There have been
many fine residences erected during
the year and quite a number of
business blocks. The showing will
be quite credit to the city. Per-
haps more improvements have been
made in the country than in the town
and there will be strong indications
OF general prosperity throughout
this whole section. 1t is certain that
the whole of Josephine county has
taken on a vigorous growth in the
way of land clearing, tree planting
and general farm improvements.

Toasts Without Wine.

1t is quite proper to give toasts at a
dinner where no wine is served. AS a
substitute small glasses of sweet cider
may be used, grape juice, fruit punch,
which contains no liquor; orangeade
or lemonade, or any one or another of
the so-called soft drinks" The drink
is served in wine or champagne glass
es at the proper time for the drinking
of the toasts. Perhaps the incest
thing, in the opinion of many people,
is white grape juice. 1t is very pretty,
pale amber color usually, and is
particularly suitable for serving at
dinner.
