rear ddys anu 11lls aS eo " EXN cause of the large number of races and religions.
 When a traveller who expects to spend some time in the country goes to the bank with his letter of credit. usually a card is handed him on which is printed the various holidays. fhis is for his convenience. so that he will not let himself get out of funds and go to the bank in hurry, only to find 1t closed on account of some holiday. The holiday may be Chris tian. Mohammedan or that of any one of the numerous Hindu sects.
 When the usual card was given me in Bombay, says a writer, l noted the number of these holidays which were ascribed to New Year. They did not exactly bear out the humorous de- seription of every day in the year as a New Year day, but there seemed hardly a month of the Christian calen- dar which did not have at least one New Year designated. and in some months there were more.
 Kaleidoscope Bombay observes all these New Year days because the stream of Asiatic life which circulates through fl includes all the civilization and all the races and religions of the Orient, with some additions from the 0ccident. The spirit is one of cath olicity.
 All the races and all the religious sects observe the New Year Of the Christian calendar. because British rule of India is reflected in this day; but they also observe the New Year of the different races and religions among themselves, at least to the e2- tent of knocking of work.
 Whether in Bombay or Benares, the monkey temple has it's throng of Hin du worshipers. and the Mohamme- dans often are not unwilling to share in the observance to the extent of foregoing their business activities The Hindus on their part are apt to think it a shame to work on Moham medan New Year day when the Mos lem population may be thronging the Jumma MusQuid mosque. So it goes all round the circle of New Year holi' days
 There is a simple arithmetical meth cd of calculating the time from the Hegira in the terms Of the Christian era, but the easier way is to accept without question the fact that such and such a day is the New Year of .f .s,,,s artxr ha New Year of the Buddhists and the Brahmins and the Jains and the Sikhs may be accepted without bothering about the calendar.
 The British New Year in Bombay, or Calcutta, or Delhi is much the same as in England.
 While the Christian New Year is formal and stately on account of Brit ish authority. it has less standing than the New Year Of the Parsees. because it is a single days observance. while the Parsees take two days. The year l happened to be in Bombay was the Parsee Yazdezardi. f276. and the New Year days came on September lS and If

Court House
At Grants Pass

The bids for the construction of a
court house at Grants Pass were
opened by the Josephine county court
Thursday and the lowest bid was by
a Portland contractor, $52,0 being
the amount. The architects estimate
was $4,000 for the building.
A certain amount of opposition is
being manifested in Grants Pass
against the building of new court
house, but the bids show that the
building can be built at this time at
a great saving to the Josephine coun-
ty taxpayers. This fact alone should
overbalance all opposition, as it is
only matter Of time before the coun-
ty will be forced to build.
All of the bids were rejected by
the county court. No new bids will
be asked Immediately.

has a definite bearing upon the sue
cess of Ashland as a health resort.
The treatment of the White Way
on Mill street leading to the real en-
trance gate is very important, and it
is unfortunate that the city cannot
control both sides of this street plac-
ing the entrance gateway as it should
be, nearer the city plaza. If this is
out of the question even in the near
future it might be possible to secure
some legislation placing sort of
blanket restriction over all properties
facing on city parks. This would
probably be difficult to secure under
our present laws. Again, it might be
wise to organize the property owners
SO that an agreement can be made
with them as to the type of shops to
be erected by them. The electric
treatment of this street, and in fact
the entire park, is one of the most
interesting parts of your problem.
Provision for the following fea-
lures might we'll be considered: Park
gates, Temple of Waters, the spring
houses, outlooks, rustic bridges, COM
fort stations, rest rooms and shelters,
children's playground, wading pool,
lake with boat house, auditorium,
band stands, garage and stables, zoo,
park concessions, etc.
suggest also that you get in touch
with Dr. w. D. Smith, head of the
geology department of the university,
who might be persuaded to write a
report on the geological formation of
the Ashland basin. This might give
you a valuable piece of advertising
literature and should give a clearer
idea OF the sources of the waters and
gases.

envied in your opportunity, and l
assure you we shall be glad to aid
you further in your problem If 1t is

are little real estate statesmen who
visit $500 prospective buyers twice
every week. Where is the big real
estate salesman who does as much?
And it does it all for the small sum
of one cent word. In writing your
ad you should give a full and fair
description of the property offered,
so that the reader can estimate read
lily whether the property will suit his

vertising to make the sale, but rather
to find the customer, create the desire
and put the buyer directly in touch
with the seller Somebody wants
your prope rty. The little want ad
may not find him the first time, but
keep it going. 1t will surely do the
business IL diligently pursued. Put

The Big, Gray Car
Industrial Club
Exhibits Go Free

Industrial club exhibits of the
children of Oregon will be transport
ed to and from the Oregon state fair
by the railroads free of charge, ac-
cording to announcement made by
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Churchill. Superintendent Churchill
expressed himself as being especially
pleased with the action of the rail-
roads who are aiding in stimulating
Oregon industrial clubs. He said
that free transportation undoubtedly
would serve to increase the number
of industrial club exhibits from the
different counties.
"The moral effect OF this support
OF our industrial work." said Super
intendent Churchill, "means much
to the children. The fact that these
large corporations are interested in
what the children are doing adds
to the popularity of the work. With
this arrangement and the state di-
vided into two districts, | expect
greater support this year than ever
before, especially from the outlying
counties. Only two eastern Oregon
counties made collective exhibits last
year. This year we expect at least
six"
The only specification on the part
of the transportation companies is
that these exhibits must be collected
at one or more central points and all
shipped in the name of the county su-
.perintendent, or some one designated
by them.

S. P. Excursions
To Newport

The Southern Pacific Company has
inaugurated weekly excursions from
Albany to Newport and will continue
to run them during the summer. The
excursion train leaves Albany every
Sunday at 1880 a. m. and arrive at
Newport 1915 p. m. Then leave
Newport at p. m. and arrive at
Albany at 10:45 p. m. This makes
an ideal all-day excursion and is
patronized by thousands of valley res
idents during the summer.
