A TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUB.

A TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUB.
In the reorganization OF the Com
mercial Club the members have had
the wisdom TO provide for a greater
Grants Pass and make OF the club a
broad and useful body, replete with
twentieth century Ideas. The new
organization retains all the modern
features Of the old club providing
first and foremost for promotion,
this being the heavy work and the
real business TO be carried forward.
Next in Importance is the Auxlli-
airy work carried on by the ladies,
who, during the past year, have laid
the foundation Of the city beauti-
full. The two necessary features Of
the work done by this branch Of the
commercial club are park decoration
and the campaign OF education car
ried on among the residents Of the
city regarding rose culture in parti-
cuar and the cultivation OF flowers
in general. The service given by
these ladies Is in the right line and
when irrigation Is supplied for our
lawns IT'S usefulness will be made
manifest In all parts OF the city
Coming third In the line Of useful
ness will be the social feature pro-
vided for by the club. This work
will be broad in scope and will COM
mand the respect OF all who take
pride In the upbulldlng of the city
The practical work which will be
done under this head will be the en-
tertainment OF important visitors
who may come to Grants Pass. To
do this there will be officials and
committees who will make II their
business to entertain. There will be
connected with the club a reception
room and a banquet hall to be used
on these state occasions There will
be billiard room for the use OF the
members which will be open during
the day and evening, also reading
room for all who may wish to pass
IN hour among newspapers, maga-
zines and books. This in brief Is
an outline OF the work that will
hereafter occupy the attention Of
this representative body of men and
women, who, with becoming pride.
Will devote themselves to makIne
Grants Pass the commercial, manu-
featuring and social center OF the
Rogue River valley.

PUBLIC RESENTMENT.

There are few more men who
should come to the front and do
their part by subscribing to the
canal construction fund. No man
has even a moral right to shlrk his
duty In such matter. The ditch
cannot be extended into neighbor-
hood unless every acre OF land bears
It's Just proportion OF the expense.
Public sentiment ia, and should be,
against the man who refuses TO
do his share OF a great public en-
terprise, He may think he is out
OF reach and therefore can do as
he pleases, but Notwithstanding this
self assurance he will he reached
and In a manner that viii entail
great loss, No man can safely ignore
his nolghbor's welfare and should
he attempt 20 do so the lash Of pub.
lie sentiment will be well laid on
his most vulnerable parts.
II must effect him IN his social
standing or In purse and more than
likely both, II viii be well for
these men TO realize that the danger
line has been reached, lie who re-
celvcs benefit from the enterprise
or expenditure OF money by 9TH
crs and who refuses TO do his own
part may meet condemnation to the
fullest extent.

more than two and half months
after the contract calls for its COM
pletion, Is hardly started; to speak
exact the first pier In the river is
still in the process Of being finished.
The construction company, to say
nothing about the county, Is unfor-
tunate as it has cost several thou
sand dollars so far and little has
been accomplished except to as
semble a considerable amount Of
material on the ground This is TO
be regretted as the new bridge is
badly needed and the old one has
reached well toward the danger
limit. The heavy spring and sum-
mer travel Will be strain on the
old structure which II will hardly
stand The county court which has
the overseeing Of this matter, we
have no doubt, will look closely af-
ter the peoples interest and prevent
any unnecessary delay. Just what
the county court thinks regarding
this unfortunate and slow progress
In bridge construction has not been
expressed, but public opinion, which
Is more powerful than court man
dates, is just on the eve Of showing
its lmpatience because of the old
adage that delays are dangerous"
