Work of
an Incendiary.

On Saturday morning at 3 O'Clock
the large barn and stables of Mr.. H.
2. Adams, leading farmer of the
Hollow creek section, together with
five valuable mules, one fine mare,
two COWS and big lot of cotton seed
meal and hulls, we're destroyed by
fire. When first discovered the flames
had gained such headway that it was
impossible to save anything. Mr.. Ad-
ans managed to reach the stable in
which his fine mare was inclosed, but
all efforts to get the animal out proved
futile.
The news spread rapidly and it was
not long before the people began to
gather in large numbers, but the news
did not reach Lexington until three
hours after the fire, Mr.. Adams COM
ing down in his automobile. Sheriff
Corley was notified and the county
bloodhounds were sent for. Through
the kindness of Clerk Of Court Frank
w. Shealy one of the new Schacht
automobiles was brought into use.
With Mr.. Shealy at the wheel, Sheriff
Corley and Capt. Mack left Lexington
with the bloodhound, and record
run was made, the distance of II
miles having been made in exactly 80
minutes, four miles of the road being
unusually rough.
Upon arriving on the scene seven
hours after the fire. the dog at once
took up the trail at the end of the
building and carried it successfully
for q distance of about three-quarters
of q mile to an old barn beside the
road, where it is supposed the incendi-
ary got on horse and rode away.
Mr.. Adams's loss is estimated to be
between four and Eve thousand dol
lars with no insurance. .....

THE LATEST MODERN
BANK EQUIPMENT
The Grants Pass Banking and Trust
Company VIII Re-DecOrate and
Re-Furnish Banking Room.

The Grants Pass Banking and
Trust company will within the next
two weeks commence the re-decora-
tion and re-furnishing Of their bank
ing rooms, putting in entirely new
fixtures. The contemplated improve
ments will give the bank an equip
ment which will be second to nothing
IN Southern Oregon, and the rooms
themselves will present an appear
ance equal to the best banking rooms
to be found anywhere. A contract
has been made with the Bank Equip
ment Company of San Francisco to
do the work in the very best modern
style. which includes fixtures and
decorations
The bank people have also made
a contract with the American Bank
Protection Company Of Minnesota to
put in their complete electric, steel
burglar alarm system in connection
with the banking rooms and vault
This system defies burglars in every
way. The vault can not be touched
at any point from the bottom, sides
or top without setting the alarm go
ing which will arouse the neighbor-
hood and the town. Should the
vault door be left open by accident
the fact would be made known at
10 o'clock p. m. by the alarm sound
ing, as the hour mentioned Is regu-
lar period to give warning in case Of
neglect on the part Of any person
whose duty 1t may be to close the
vault.
President Herrick has in the past
years had occasion to fit up two
banks with this electric burglar sys-
TEN and knows from experience that
it gives ample protection to the funds
of the bank and therefore it Is no ex-
pertinent in this case. The patrons
of the bank will be glad to know
that this institution is to be modern
lied and safe guarded. The improve
ment contemplated will reflect credit
not only on the bank management
but on the city of Grants Pass.

Children's Day at Newman Church.

The Children's Day exercises held
at the Newman M. e. church on Sun
day evening were among the finest
ever held in the city and large
crowd was present to witness the eX-
cellent work of the young people.
Besides the main part of the church,
the class rooms had to be thrown
open to accommodate the crowd
which had assembled. The church
building was beautifully decorated
in pink, white and green. Back of
the altar was a solid bank of ever
greens in which the words Chill
dren's Day" done in white roses stood
out beautifully on the dark back
ground, while the corners were fill
ed in with clusters of pink roses and
green vines and pink and white roses
were interspersed in pleasing array
throughout the pulpit and choir, the
whole presenting beautiful and
artistic appearance. The entertain
ment consisted of recitations, singing
and dialogues by the little ones, and
a five-piece orchestra rendered sweet
music throughout the evening. AL
together the entertainment was one
of the very best. that has ever been
given in the church and everyone
attending is loud in his praise of the
evenings program. Special credit is
due Mrs. Ora Hood and her assistants
who had charge of the exercises and
worked so faithfully in making them
the complete success they were.
