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

city will surely be fn at the final ac

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. There is a

signboard burled him and his wife.
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.
' Off the heads the storm lashed the
ocean Into a white foam. Steamers
stuck to port. Several troke loose
from their moorings. Lumber loads
on a few were picked up and whirled
away like paper.
