hay to Grants Pass Saturday.
j. T. Cook and David Roberts were
business visitors to Grants Pass Sat
urday.
X. j. Kubli, the Missouri Flat
merchant and son we're visitors from
here to the county seat Monday.
Every one around Murphy has
joined the Irish and on Friday, the
l4th, they are going to wear the
green and attend the ball at the ST.
600 grange hall We understand
they are only going to charge 800
per number, which includes supper
OF which they are noted for always
having the best.
They got beat again. Who? Why
the Foreigners, Of course. About
the same team that played last Sun
day gathered together for this game
In a much better contest than they
played before. Up to the sixth in
ming neither side scored, when all OF
a sudden something happened and
the Foreigners scored four runs and
that was the last OF 1t for them, as
from that on they did not get an
other run. The Oregonians then be-
gan to do something and by the time
the game was out they had gained
the extra run, making the score 4 to
3 in favor of those awful Oregonians.
Joe McFadden handled the potato
for the Oregonians until the sixth
inning, when II fell to Herman to
finish the remaining stanzas. Wheel
er Osborne played the part of sack
holder and sure did good work at
the home plate. Morrie McGuffin,
the noted Southpaw, handled the
spheroid with the same old ease as he
has done heretofore, and Elmer Gil
more smiled and made faces through
the iron cage as he stood unmoved
behind the home plate and stopped
all that came in his reach. l.. w.
Carson acted as umpire and his de-
cisions were fair and well taken by
all present, Time Of game, forgot

STARVATION WAGES
ARE PAD TO PROFITS.

CHICAGO, March Million
aire employers of girls who testified
before the senate committee here
which is probing starvation wages
and who declare they can see no
connection between low wages and
prostitution either have elastic con-
sciences or no conscience at all. That
starvation wages are being coined
into enormous profits has already
been proved conclusively.
This is the summary given the
United Press today of the work OF
the starvation wages and white slav-
cry investigation committee by Lieu
tenant Governor O'Hara who heads IL.
Deny it as they may" O'Hara
continued, the millionaire empoly-
ers cannot convince the public that
they do not know that low wages is
the prime factor in the ruin of girls.
1t is up to them to redeem them
selves by raising the wages os all
girls to the bread line they them
selves fixed-sS per without
state compulsion."
O'Hara today declared that Ed
ward Lehman, head of a great de-
partment store, taeitly admitted to
the committee that the big mer-
chants of Chicago had agreed to
withhold all information as to their
profits. Lehman refused to answer
that question ION advice of counsel" ."
The probers will meet tomorrow at
Springfield to decide whether to force
an answer on profits from the depart
ment store men, and after that meet
ing they plan to go to Washington
IL they can arrange a conference with
President Wilson.
Celebrating his statements on the
conscience of the great employers
of women and girls" Lieutenant
Governor O'Hara continued.
These great employers whose
millions come from the people re-
gard 1t as governmental impertinence
for the state to inquire into the abuse
of their charter rights. Some of them
are claiming credit for liberality and
philanthropy in forming benevolence
associations, when as a matter of fact
these associations are supported out
of the meagre earnings of the girls
and women. These must pay their
dues and buy dollar tickets for an.
maui balls or suffer discharge.
The senate committee has torn
the mask from the benevolent pur-
pose and philanthropy of some Of

1t has shown that these men-highly

duced to a science the practice Of
taking the full labor of the women

n. r. KROH ELECTED
PRESIDENT CON. CLUB

r. Z. Kroh was unanimously elect
ed president of the Commercial club
at the annual meeting held Monday
evening, succeeding c. l.. Hobart,
who has been the head of the organ
ization for the past year.
Mr. Hobart had been renominated
for the office, and would have been
reelected had he not positively re-
fused to allow consideration of his
name or to accept the office II elect
ed. He believed in passing the good
things around. and while he said he
did not desire to shirk duty, he
considered that a single term was all
that duty required of him. Mr.. Kroh
was then nominated and was given
the unanimous vote of the club. The
new president not having returned
from the east, the secretary was in
structed to wire him the action of
the club, whereby he became the
chief OF the commercial organization.
For vice president C.. II. Demaray
was nominated and unanimously
elected. Secretary Quinlan was re-
tanned in office for the coming year
by unanimous and enthusiastic vote,
and an effort was made to prevail
upon Sam II. Baker, for two years the
club treasurer, to again handle the
funds, but his desire for retirement
was acceded to. and the vote of the
club went to Marshall Hooper. the
new cashier OF the Grants Pass Bank
ing & Trust Co., for treasurer. The
directors had been elected year ago
to hold office for two years, so no
changes will appear in the governing
board for the next twelve months.
The annual reports of the secretary
and the treasurer showed the club in
a healthy condition both as regards
its finances and its membership. The
club membership is now 1876, gain
Of five during the year. The finances
are also showing Improvement, a
condition that calls forth approval in
the light OF the stagnation of busi-
ness during the most OF the year.
The secretary's report called to no
tice the great amount OF work that
had been under consideration by the
club and its board OF directors dur
ing the year, number of projects
such as railroad, cannery, ETC., now
nearing realization.
A vote OF thanks was extended to
senator j. c. Smith and Representa-
tive Blanchard for the excellent work
they had done in the session OF the
Legislature just ended in getting Ro-
que river opened to commercial fish
ing
A communication was read from
the Mazama organization stating that
at least 10v OF its members would be
here to participate In the excursion
to the Marble caves May 80, and ask
ing for information regarding the
schedule, etc The club officers and
directors are now completing ar
rangements for the transportation of
the Mazamas, and will address a let
ter to them within day or two, or
as soon as the details are all ar
ranged.
