A PROMISING OUTLOOK. A new year never opened more auspiciously for any city than does 191$ for Grants Pass. There Is no adjustment of business conditions ne cessary because of the becoming ef fective of the prohibition law, muni 'clpal affairs are In a satisfactory shape, and industrially there could be little else to be asked for at the present time than the good things that are assured. The railroad has passed the stage where doubt enter ed into its future, and the details for Its continued construction are pro gressing as rapidly as engineering skill can outline it There seems little doubt In the minds of those best in formed concerning an opportunity to be given before the end of another summer to celebrate the advent of the railroad to the mines of the Il linois valley. The sugar factory Is also practically assured to the valley, and Grants Pass is making a strong campaign for its location here, past four years. The annual meeting of the romoaa grange was one of the most inter esting ever held by the organisation, and the . rooms of the Moose lodge were filled with grange members and thetr families and a few Invited guests. At the business session a number of grangers were initiated into the Pomona1 degree, following which came the annual election of officers, the new officials tor the year 19U being as follows: Master, E.

If a central location, proxim ity to the largest acreage of beets now guaranteed to be planted for a five-year period, satisfactory trans portation facilities with a new terri tory of the best of beet lands about to be opened by the new railroad, availability of cordwood, lime, water, building materials, and other things that must, appeal to the man who is putting his capital into the enter prise, determine the location, this city will surely be fn at the final ac counting. But regardless of its de finite site, the fact of its coming to the valley is second In Importance on ly to the railroad projected toward the sea. In the material develop ment of the district agriculturally the sugar factory will be of nntold value, while the railroad will make available the wealth of the forest, the mine and the farm. But better even than these ma terial things is the spirit of the people that Is now manifest.

The storm, regarded as the worst in a quarter of a century here, rip ped Its way through the city at close to a 75-mile clip. In its wake sign boards, wires, electric signs, fences, and even an uncompleted house, crashed down in the path of pedes trians. Flying timber and crashing glass hurt several persons. On Market street a big electric sign crashed from the top of a 15- story building, Injuring a woman and narrowly missing others. Pedes trians made scant headway against the gale.
