INDUSTRIAL CONTEST is
POPULAR IN SCHOOLS.

81 can assure the people of Grants
Pass that the school pupils of Jose
phine county are deeply interested in
the school fair movement and will be
glad to make a big exhibit here and
bring one of the best crowds ever
seen here If they are given a chance
to show what they can do along prac-
tical lines" said Superintendent Lin
coin Savage Saturday morning after
he had made the rounds Friday Of a
number of the leading districts OF the
county with the state superinten-
dents field manager, c. c. Thomason.
Mr.. Savage continued:
"At New Hope, Murphy, Wilder
vile and other schools in the Apple
gate valley much interest is being
manifested. The children's depart
ment of the state fair will attract
even national attention, as much has
already been written OF the Oregon
movement in the eastern papers and
magazines, and the children and high
school students of this county will
be helped to get their exhibits into
shape and get ready for the state
contest by first having a school fair
in Grants Pass.
Further stimulus was given the
movement here Friday evening when
President Sabin of the Commercial
club assured us OF his interest, and
promised to appoint committees at
the next meeting of the club. We are
going out to Merlin today Satur-
day. where a big crowd Of citizens,
children and grangers are awaiting
our coming. We are telling the
schools wherever we go that we think
Grants Pass will give them some
prizes to exhibit here before the state
contest"
Mr.. Thomason is a Jealous worker
in the cause, and his presence In the
city and county has added much to-
ward stimulating the lads and lassies
to earnest endeavor.

TIE BANKER AND
SECURE SUN OF $45Oo

SAN JOSE. CAL, Feb. 2S.-Boldly
entering the bank OF j. A. Costa In
North Market street here today, an
unmasked robber held up Costa ct
the point Of revolver, took $4,000
from an open safe, and. rushing out
Of the building, leaped into q waiting
automobile and with companion e.
capped In the direction of San Fran
cisco. The bandit backed Costa into
a back room, gagged him and bound
him to chair.
Costa was not discovered until
Henry Ballaris, who has a real estate
office in the building, arrived to be-
gin work and discovered the captive
banker.
Costa, after entering the bank this
morning, opened the safe. While his
back was turned man entered
quietly and when Costa looked to-
ward the entrance again he was Gov
cred by revolver, held by an un-
masked man, who had his hat
pulled down over his eyes. The rob-
Der marched Costa, with his hands
over his head, to a back room.
After binding him securely with a
rope he carried and gagging his VIC
tim with a portion OF a table cloth,
the bandit went to the front OF the
bank and looted the safe at his
leisure.
Meanwhile the bandits compan-
ion had the engine going In the wait
Ing automobile. AS the robber who
held up Costa started to get into the
machine. he dropped two $40 gold
pieces In the street. They we're seen
by several flremen across the street.
When the robbery was discovered the
police at once took up the trail
Costa could not speak. but he tapped
on the floor with his feet and at
tracted the attention OF Ballaris. His
wrists were badly hurt by the cords.
Firemen noticed two suspicious
characters hanging around the bank
after hours yesterday. They we're
short OF stature and appeared to be
Italians. The Costa bank is a small
private institution doing business
mostly with Italians and other for
eigners who do their marketing In
that vicinity.

tors meetings has inspired a conf
dence; and the fact that he Is acting
in a dual capacity does not lessen this
confidence.
The plan, therefore, is to effect the
organization Of the local unions
throughout the Rogue River valley,
which in turn will be members of the
district organization, and which will
be a member Of the Northwest Fruit
exchange, together with Mosier,
White Salmon, and 1t is hoped the
"progressives" at Hood River will
form Independent organizations.
And | have just been informed
that Messrs. Whistler and Miller

ference.
A great deal of credit is due our
manager, Mr.. Miller, for the effective
way he has handled the roposition
IN being able to bring the facts be-
fore the various interests of the
