Eight miles of gas mains In Grants

the best in lighting.
Air was driven out of the pipes

and prospective patrons could re-
ceive valuable information II they

prepared to furnish gas ranges, heat
ers, lights, water heaters, instantan-
eous heaters for the bath room and
Humphrey automatic water heaters,
which will supply any room In

simply turning a faucet in the room

faucet automatically sets a fame

FATHER FRANCIS is NOW
KNIGHT OF COLUMBUS

At Medford SuEGay, December Il,
Rev. Father Francis { St. AIMS
Catholic church of Gran.c Pass was
initiated into the three degrees OF
the order of the knights of CL'um-
bus, and is now a fullfedged mem
Der of that order.
Father Francis states that the es-
tablishing of council in Medford
and the entertainment provided by
the members of the Medford parish
was altogether one of the most
pleasing events in which he has par
ticipated for many months.
The Medford Mail-Tribune has the
following to say of the day:
Sunday, December II, is a day
to be remembered by the Catholics
of Medford. On this day, a council
of the Knights of Columbus was es-
tablished in this city, when 60 of the
leading Catholic men of this city
were initiated into the mysteries of
the order.
Through efforts of the Rev. ]. NJ.
O'Farrell, pastor of the Church of
the Nativity, the members of his par
ish requested a council of the
Knights of Columbus. Although
Father O'Farrell has been here only
a few months, he has, through his
wonderful endeavor, induced his
Catholic men to join the Knights of
Columbus, consequently on Sunday
at II o'clock a degree team, under
the direction of r. B. Senniott, state
deputy, and ]. P. Kelleher, district
deputy, who had charge of the in
itiation ceremonies, assembled at the
church and gathered together the
men of the parish, and during the
course of the day conferred upon the
Catholic men of the Nativity parish
the degrees of knighthood.
"The work was beautifully ex-
emplified. Mr.. Duffy of Portland
will never be forgotten by Medford
Catholics. The same energy he has
shown in railroad row in Portland
was shown to the new knights at
Medford. Mr.. Kelleher, the new
district deputy of the Willamette
valley, did his work most acceptably,
in fact, gaining the praise of his
critics.
"a most bountiful banquet was
served in St. Marks hall by the lad
les of the parish. A concert was CIV
en- by the pupils of st. Mary's acad-
emy which, in the opinion of those
present at the banquet, was won
derful exposition of what the sisters
do for their pupils.
'The banquet was the most palat-
able and enjoyable that the knights
have ever enjoyed"

G. P. HIGH DEFEATS
ASHLAND BASKETBALL

Spurred on to deeds of valor by
hopes and prayers of friends and
kindred in the metropolis Of the
Rogue, the motto of which city is 81
will" the Grants Pass High School
Basketball team, under the all-con-
quering leadership of Miss Louise
Harvey, defeated the team represent
ing the big trading post of the Bear
Creek valley at Medford Friday night
16 to 10, and this despite handicaps
OF a small floor to which they were
unaccustomed and the ardent and
yoCIferous applause and encourage
ment from the genial but hostile
crowd of 500 for the home team.
The Grants Pass players won the
first half to Z.
Medford used nine players, while
the Grants Pass girls have been using
only FIVE in practice, which was an
Other advantage Tor the Medlord
lassies. Agility and stamina, aug
mented by perfect teamwork, were
the ingredients which enabled the
Grants Pass misses to trail the vain
glorious and rhodomeutadical ban
ner of Medford in the dust
The Misses Louise Harvey, Alice
Hansen, Edna Cornell and Alice
Love drew unwonted salvos from the
biased crowd for their brilliant, un-
common skill and !ndomintable
pluck.
The next contest between the two
teams will be played In Grants Pass
some evening during holiday week
