poration, was in Grants Pass Monday
on company business. He returned
with a new typewriting machine to
assist in his increased duties.
The dance, program and concert
given by the Grants Pass band at the
Pavilion last Saturday evening made
quite hit, and is reported by those
present the most enjoyable and sue
cessful social event of the season.
The Grants Pass band is making an
enviable reputation for itself at the
home and neighboring towns. A
number of the Grants Pass people ac-
companied the boys to Gold Hill, in
cluding Mr.. and Mrs. M. L. Opendyke,
DR.. and Mrs. j. o. Nibley, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. P, Quinlin, Mr.. and Mrs ]. H.
Denison, Mr.. and Mrs. Lester Coburn,
Mr.. and Mrs. c. B. Halliday, Mrs.
Ross, Mr. Ferrin, the Misses Florence
Riddle, Bernice Quinlin, Louise Har-
vey, Marjory Larson, Valeska Truax
and Helen Layton. A vocal solo by
Mrs. ]. o. Nibley and a vocal duet
by Mrs. Nibley and Mr.. Ferrin were
a splendid treat to the merrymakers,
with many other features of the even
ing The band is composed of 32
members, being the united forces Of
the Senior and Junior bands of Grants
Pass since the war enlistments have
made big swath in their ranks. The
band under the tutorship of the we'll
known band leader, Jack Williams, is
easily the leading organization of its
kind in southern Oregon. Mr.. Open
dyke of Grants Pass is the genial
manager of the band. Before the
dance program began the band rem
dered several selections at the Red
Cross benefit program given at the
Comus theatre early in the evening.
The county district boundary board
at their regular meeting at Jackson
vile last Saturday allowed a petition
by voters of school districts 25, 27,
20 and II, for an extension of the
boundaries of the Gold Hill district,
No. 81. There was considerable op-
position developed at the meeting
against granting the petition by resi-
dents of Dardanells district, which
district includes the outskirts of Gold
Hill south of the river. The opposi-
tion feared that by losing the proper
ty going into the Gold Hill district,
their taxes might become a burden.
As a matter of fact, however, those
outside districts have bordered on the
city limits of Gold Hill and they have
not in some cases been compelled to
levy any tax at all, while the people
in the Gold Hill district have levied
heavy taxes annually to educate the
high school students from the outside
districts The district boundary board
allowed the petition in spite Of the
opposition, contemplating that such
a move would have tendency to
equallze the burden of taxation, and
eventually give the citizens in the
several districts Of Rock Point, Calls
Creek, Kanes Greek and those on the
highway leading to Sans valley

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
June %, 1917.
THE FIRST "JEWISH MONEY"
SINCE BAR KOCHBA'S
TIME.

enemy, nave mduo TdCHeT 1Iee use
of the phrase "Jewish money"
there has been no such thing since
the days Of the Inflated Bar
Kochba. The nearest approach to
real Jewish money, in it's categor-
ical definition, is shown in the cut
that we are enabled to publish in
this issue through the courtesy of
the Provisional Zionist Committee.
The "Jewish money" shown in
the accompanying illustration con-
sists of four checks issued by the
Anglo-Palestine Bank, the branch
of the Jewish Colonial Trust in
Palestine, with. endorsements in
Hebrew and Arabic. At the be-
ginning of the war the Anglo
Palestine Company had in it's pos
session $1,OO0,O00 in deposits and
collateral When war was de-
clared, Turkey declared mora
forum and seized all the available
gold. The result was that Pales-
tine was left with practically no
working currency.
The Anglo-Palestine Company
and The Provisional Zionist Com
mittee issued checks to bearer as
against existing deposits and COL
lateral, to the amount of one mil
lion dollars. These checks were
accepted by the depositors at full
face value, and traded in as real
currency, so great was the conf
dence of the Jews, Moslems and
Christians throughout Palestine in
the solvency and integrity of the
Jewish bank.
The Turkish officials argued
from this, that the Jews were en-
deavoring to set up an independent
government and they therefore
closed the. offices of the Anglo
Palestine Company and ordered all
the holders of it's checks to redeem
them Immediately. The Turkish
Government offered to cash these
checks at 60 cents on the dollar.
The anticipated effect of this Of
fer is clear.
This created difficult situation
for the bank officials owing to the
absolute lack of gold, and they
were at their wits end until they
discovered that the stockholders
had themselves devised an ingen-
ious plan for solving the problem.
The depositors simply obeyed or
ders. They brought the checks
to the bank, but instead of de-
handing cash, asked for receipts,
thus obviating the necessity of
meeting the checks, of starting
