AMERICAN SHIPS
SAIL FOR EUROPE

New York. Feb. al.--The first Am
erican line steamship to leave this
port since the German submarine
warning was issued--the Mongolia
today is past Sandy Hook and on her
way to Europe. She was followed
closely by the American freighter Al
gonQuin. Both are bound for London
and are the first American vessels
to sail from here for a British port
In three weeks.
Oficials OF the American line were
reticent over the sailing OF the Mon
golia. refusing even after she had
been seen to pass out OF the harbor
to admit her sailing. She Is vessel
OF 1859 tons and Is an out-and-out
American vessel, having been built
in this country and never having
flown any flag except the American,
No attempt was made to disguise her.
She Is painted in regular colors with
her name and registry painted on
her sides in huge letters.
The captain OF the Mongolia Is Ed
ward Rice. an American.
All sailings OF passenger vessels have
been cancelled by the American line.
Shippers have been notified to take
freight out OF the hold OF the ST.
Louis. where II has been lying since
February 3. when her sailing was
postponed.
The Philadelphia is expected TO
take her place alongside the ST. Louis.
Now York and st. Paul when she ar
riv,s here tomorrow from Liverpool.
Speculation today as to the proh-
able cause OF the cancellation OF AM
erican line sailings. was along two
different lines. One was that II
might mean the final decision OF the
government not to aid in arming
ships flying the American flag. The
other was that the present interna-
tional crisis had caused the govern
ment to notify the ships owners tnat

THE BRIGHT PARTICULAR STAR
The season opens for Grants Pass
with the greatest activity present and
in prospect yet recorded. There is
no boom. but there is a constant and
steady growth that speaks for per
manacy and stability. Practically
every house in the city is filled, and
there is constant demand for houses
of the better class. To meet this de-
mand the building of new residences
Is already under way. though the
building season has not yet arrived.
A dozen residences OF the best type
are now under construction. and with
the arrival of settled spring weather
many more viii be commenced.
The most notable construction now
progressing is that OF the court house.
which will involve the expenditure Of
about $4,000. Two substantial bus
mess blocks are in process OF erec-
ton, the large garage building to
be occupied by the local Ford insti-
tuition being now well along in con-
struction. This will be an attractive
building OF brick, with stucco fin
ish, and makes a vast improvement
in South Sixth street. Materials are
on the ground for the Burkhalter &
Haberman building Just OF from
Sixth street, and a commodious and
solid concrete building win result.
There is every promise that Grants
Pass and Josephine county will ex-
perience the best year in history. The
fruit industry became more firmly
entrenched last season through prof
liable marketings, and this year there
is renewed interest and the orchard
will receive its just attention. The
mine, always source of much OF
the material progress and prosperity
Of the district, is coming into the
limelight as never before, while lum-
bering is also feeling the touch OF
the awakening. The progress of the
campaign for beet acreage is most
encouraging, and there will be few
tracts in this vicinity that are suited
for beet culture that will not add to
the tonnage this fan. With the prom
ise of the development Of irrigation
and the assurance that railroad build.
ing will start OF In earnest, II would
be well for the man who is looking
for the bright particular civic star
Of the northwest to pin his faith or
Grants Pass.
