WELCOMING THE STRANGER.

WELCOMING THE STRANGER.
The citizens Of Grants Pass have
q duty that is especially importunate
at the present time. It is duty,
moreover, in which they should feel
pleasure, for In its execution they are
themselves reaping rich harvest.
II is in the welcoming OF the stranger
to the city. The industrial activities,
centered around Grants Pass. that
are arousing southern Oregon from
a lethargy OF business conditions, are
attracting many new people to this
community. Already q number OF
families OF the most desirable type
have come, and there is certain to be
a great influx as soon as the indus
tries are well under way. The man
OF the household is pretty apt to be
full OF the work that he has In hand.
and at once finds himself in the whirl
Of local business life. but with his
family. probably without an acquaint-
ance In the city, II is different. So
this duty rests with the feminine
portion OF the community more than
with the men.
The newcomers should not only be
called upon, but they should be urged
to become part OF the social life at
once. Make them feel at home, show
them genuine welcome. and there
viii be none OF that 'home-sickness"
that has cost every city families need
ed in Its upbuilding.
While In the mood for preaching.
let the Courier also impress again
upon the people of Grants Pass the
idea OF q better civic pride. Spring
time is naturally cleanup time. But
lots OF people think that when the
tincans are picked up and the old
leaves raked together that the Job Is
done. 1t is then only we'll started.
A few dollars worth OF paint will
make your house look like new, and
this applies not alone to the residence
property. There are several business
blocks that could be improved won
derfully with little effort and some
muscle and paint. Other improve
ments can be made without expendi-
ture OF finances at all. simply by pull
ing down an ancient sign or two or
by the removal OF tattered awning
that has outlived Its usefulness. We
get used to these little lapses from
order and cleanliness and beauty our
selves through constant association
with them, but they are the first thing
the visitor or the newcomer TO our
midst sees. Just run your eye over
your premises and see what you can
do toward this move for the making
OF Grants Pass the city OF beauty
that II can be with the least effort
Of any city in the entire west.

ANDERSON WAS CENTER
OF THE EARTHQUAKE

According to articles appearing in
the Atlanta papers. this city was
about the center of the earthquake
which occurred on last Monday ar
ternoon. The area of the earthquake
was about 226,000 square miles,
somewhat smaller than the state of
Texas.
The tremble was felt as far north
as Richmond, Va, as far east as
Charleston, s. c., southwark to Co.
lumbus and westward to Suwanee,
Tenn. At no place did it do any ap-
preciable damage.
From data sent in to DR.. McCalli
including a letter of much import
ance from ]. S. Welborn, vice presi-
dent of the Federal Reserve bank, it
was apparent that the shock passed
from east to west. At Mr.. Welborn's
stout stone house it was strong
enough to make window shades sway
out six inches from the easements of
closed windows. He gave the exact
time of the shock as 5 :39 o'clock.
Though the quake of Monday was
nearly three times as large in area
affected, as the one last year, DR..
McCallie does not attribute any espe-
cial importance to this.-Anderson
Intelligencer.
