ROOSEVELT IS OFF
10 SEE OLD CAIRO

KHARTOUM, March 17.---Colonel
Roosevelt today gathered the remain
Ing members OF his African expedi-
tion around him at luncheon In the
palace and there were many express
sions of friendship before farewells
were said.
The guests included Sir Alfred
Pease, who was Colonel Roosevelt's
first host in Africa; Clayton Bey, OF
the Sirdar's staff, and Captain Mere
dith, Of the steamer Dal, on which
the party voyaged from Gondokoro.
The ex-president tried to make the
affair as lively as possible, but he
was considerably moved when II
came to shaking hands with those
whom he Is not likely to see again.
+. He expressed the greatest admira-
tion for Captain Cunningham's stren-
uous labors and those OF the natural
lists who had made the expedition
such marked success, and he dwelt
upon the complete harmony which
had existed from first to last. No one
regretted more than he, said the ex-
president, that the hunting party was
now split up.
After an inspection OF the missions
under the guidance OF Bishop
Gwynne, Colonel Roosevelt attended
reception at the Grand hotel, where
he again met the officials OF Khar-
toum.
The band OF the Twelfth Soudar-
ese Infantry played special pro-
gram OF native music, which Is pc
culiarly weird and inspiring, for the
benefit OF Colonel Roosevelt, who re-
marked on the wondrous ability OF
the band. Later group OF native
women gave a number OF Soudanese
dances.
In n speech at the Egyptian Of
ficers' club. Colonel Roosevelt adj
vised the officers to drop politics
while they were soldiers. He was
soldier himself. he said, and a poll
tician. but he never let them mix.
Shortly before O'Clock tonight
Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt. Kermit
and Miss Ethel went IN carriages to
the railway station. where they
boarded the train for Cairo.

WARNING STATION IS
TO BEIESTABLISHED
Agricultural Department Will Send
instruments for Observations
to Prof. O'Gara.

A. +. Beals, government forecast
er at Portland, became convinced on
his visit here lately that Rogue River
valley needed something different
from most sections In the way of
weather forecasting, as 1t was prac-
tically as he said, "a wheel within
wheel" and local conditions were at
variance with other sections, and
that forecasts for sections only a
short distance away would not flt It.,
To this end, Mr.. Beals, in letter
to Congressman Hawley, recommend
ed that a volunteer station be estab-
lished here, at least, and twice-a-day
warning service from the Portland
station be established. This service
has now been ordered and during the
frost season orchardists will be warn
ed OF danger OF killing frosts, that
they may be able to handle their pre-
ventatives accordingly.
Professor O'Gara took up the mat
ter OF proper instruments with the
agricultural department and has now
on the way set consisting Of COM
pensating barograph, a maximum
and minimum thermometer, a psy-
chrometer and standard thermome-
ter. with these instruments he can
keep an accurate record OF weather
conditions.

OPENING EXHIBITION
G. P. ATHLETIC CLUB

The Grants Pass new athletic club
is progressing in fine shape since 1t
was formed three weeks ago. They
now have a membership of IS, with
$35 in the treasury and everything
progressing finely for an up-to-date
club such as the city of Grants Pass
may be proud Of. Rev. Frederick
Bartlett is instructor in the gymna-
stun work, assisted by Chas. Moore
and Fred Costain, and on Wednesday
evening the club gave their opening
exhibition at the gymnasium, with
everybody invited to witness the
stunts pulled off in that line.
The exhibition consisted of floor
drills, exercises with dumbbells, In
dian clubs, running exercises, hori-
zontal bars, parallel bars, boxing,
ETC., which was extremely well done
considering the remarkably short
time the club has been in training.
There were about 1875 visitors pres
ent at this opening exhibition, and
the boys were much encouraged at
the strong interest manifested In
their work. Besides the s35 still In
the treasury. the club has spent about
$145 In fitting up club rooms, ETC.,
and are anxious to put in a shower
bath which will require about $500.
The club expects to give an exhibit
tion of this kind about once every
six weeks, and one OF the best ways
to help the young men along is to
, visit these exhibitions and prove by
your presence that you are interest
ed in this good work, as this clup
| Is bound to prove very beneficial IA
the young men and boys, not only
from the physical standpoint, but
from a moral standpoint, also, for II
Is certainly relief to parents to
know that their boys are spending
their evenings In healthful recrea'
ton and exercise, and every youns
man and boy should be encouraged
to become a member OF the club
lIt will keep the boys off the street
at night and In good company with
first-class employment.
After the exercises OF the evening
the company adjourned TO the Com
mercial Club rooms, where the Com
mercial Club orchestra rendered ex
cellent music and some very inter
estlng and beneficial talks on club
and club work we're delivered b!
Rev. Frederick Bartlett. NJ. ]. An
derson and II. II. o'Neill. Refresh
ments Of sandwiches and coffee wer,
served. and the meeting was calle'
TO a close. This first exhibition o
he club was certainly a grand sue
cess and shows what earnest effor
can accomplish. Let's keep the goo
work going.

Successful Growers.
There will be another demonstra-

There will be another demonstra-
tion this year of the wonderful grow
ing possibilities of the Flaming
Tokay grape. w. B. Sherman has
decided to give away another 500
in prizes, as well as grape vines, to
bring this about In speaking OF
the matter today he said:
"The results of the contest By the
scholars of Grants Pass for the prizes
for the best growth Of Tokay grape
vines last year were so satisfactory
that / have decided to give away
more vines and more prizes this year.
Until the last prizes were awarded
few realized thSt Il was possible to
secure more than a few feet of
growth from a vine the first year
after planting, but the contest show
ed that with good care twenty feet
of growth was easily attained and
quite a number of the contestants
secured as high as forty feet, and one
had sixty-eight feet. This informa-
tion has undoubtedly done much to
stimulate the Tokay industry.
The prizes l give this year will be
of two classes, one set being for the
best growth from new vines, and the
other set, the largest amount of fruit
produced on the prize competing
vines of last year. Wood growth will
also be considered on these vines.
On the vines the growth on all
main shoots will be considered, but
not of the laterals. The vines will
be given out at the school houses on
Friday, March 25, 1910, and Prof
r. R. Turner, city superintendent OF
schools and Lincoln Savage. county
Superintendent of schools will be re-
quested to take charge of the dis
tribution.
The prizes will amount to 500 In
all, $50 to be divided among the con-
testants taking new vines and sac
to be divided among the prize con-
testants of last year,
There will be 23 prizes on the new
vines and II prizes on the old vines,

To distant star.worids they have flown,
