Grants Pass is Just now attracting the attention of some ot the best business men ot the northwest. Dar ing the week last past Emery Olm stead, vice-president ol the North western National bank ot Portland, accompanied the Messrs. Twohy down from the Rose city and went out over the line of the new railroad, and by into over the route to Takilma. Mr. Olmstead la known as one ot the most conservative ot the Portland bankers, a man In whose business Judgment every citizen of Portland has absolute confidence. It was there fore Interesting to note the opinion which Mr. Olmstead would form ot the Grants Pass district after his visit to It On his return to Port land the Oregonlan had an inter view with him In which be said: "Business in Grants Pass is boom ing. Every house in the town Is fill ed and new people are arriving every day. It was almost Impossible to get a room In the hotel. "It appears that Grants Pass and the neighboring territory offer many opportunities for the Portland whole salers and manufacturers and doubt less they will be prompt to grasp them." Then the reporter of the Evening Telegram got hold of Mr. Olmstead, and to him the banker remarked: "Grants Pass is entering a new era of prosperity. Commencing of con struction of the Oregon-Utah Sugar company's beet sugar factory has put new life Into the city. There Is not a vacant house and the building of the big factory is bringing fresh ar rivals of families almost dally. The hotels are crowded. "Prospects for early extension of the California & Oregon Coast rail road from the present terminus, 15 miles from Grants Pass, are en couraging. It will open up a highly productive country in Illinois valley and enable the development of the mineral resources tributary to the Mne." QUALITY FIRST Chow Chow from England. Mushrooms from France.

KINNEY & TRUAX Grocery J II STANDARD WEIGHTS III CALIFORNIA (By United Press Leased Wire.) Sacramento. Feb. 16. Eastern millers who have been accustomed to send short weight sacks ot flour and other mill products to California, selling at the same price as the Cali fornia miners who packed the stand ard weight will strike a snag. Charles 0. Johnson, state superintendent of weights and measures, announced to day that a standardisation ot mm products on a net weight basis will be established at a conference he Is soon to hold with millers. "The marketing ot mill products offers greater facilities for the perpe tration of fraud in the short delivery ot commodities to the public than perhaps any other industry," says Johnson. "Today the .common sack of flour la offered for sale as weigh ing 49 sounds, but unless flour Is standardized to this weight, millers will discriminate and compete by reducing the weight to whatever amounts they please, and as the sacks look approximately the same size the public will be at the mercy of the short welghter. Just recently I dis covered In Los Angeles a shipment ot three carloads ot eastern flour in which the weight of each sack fell one pound short of 49 pounds. I re quired that another pound of flour be put in each sack. The California millers are working with the depart ment and it is no more than right to protect them against such unfair competition."

"When a vessel arms Itself it becomes more than a merchantman, and serves notice upon the world that It is ready for a fight. If citizens of the United States wish to sail upon an armed ship they should not ex pect to Involve their country In a tur moil If they run Into trouble, and it would seem proper that warning be given, Just as warning was given against going into Mexico when war was on between the contending fac tions. But the course that the pre sident pursued yesterday must not be taken as an indication of what he may do tomorrow. Hard on tht Proofreader.

The past month has been an ideal one for tbe prosecuting of farm work, and the farmers of the valley 1 are fast getting their land in shape for beets and other crops. The orchards are giving promise of a heavy yield, and the buds of the earlier blossom ing fruits are already near to the bursting point. The apples especial ly are promising a heavy setting of fruit, though peaches will probably not come up to the record crop of last season. Old papers, for starting fires. 5c per bundle.

Tbe salvage icl'itu Industry Is of such Importance nud exteut that many deal ers In secoiiUhnml glass specialise In one branch or another. Some, for In stance, handle only plato glass that comes to thetu by reason of the demoli tion ot old buildings, rased to make place for new structures. Salvage glass ot this sort brlugs prices not far below those of new $Us. A considerable quantity of the sal vage glass dealer's stock emanates from tbe plate glass insurance com panies. The methods of these com panies In taking orer glass vary. One concern may keep no stock on band, simply buying whatever Is required to replace a broken pane. dlselng of tbe broken glass, it enough remains to be sold, to the salvage dealer. Some times company will have a ware house of Its own. to which it will re move broken glass tbat may still be in condition to use. Frequently It will happep tbat only one corner has been broken from a large pane and tbat this may be cut down to fit a smaller win dow. Most plate glass to Insured, but there is much tbat is not In the case of an uninsured plate that Is broken the own er must, of course, go to a dealer for a new plate. He will sell tbe broken plate to tbe salvage dealer. It follows therefore that from Insurance co Di ps ill es. from building wreckers and from owners of uninsured glass tbe salvage glass dealers accumulate great quantities of secondhand plate glass. Much or this is In such a condition tbat It may be reset anywhere. Should tbe Injury consist, for Instance! of simply m deep scratch In the center It la easy to make that plate salable. Tbe sec ondhand dealer cuts out a strip con taining tbe scratch and thus have left two smaller plates, quite suitable for smaller windows. When injured plate glass is too much scratched to be available for windows It Is sometimes made into groond or frosted glass for office partitions or doors. Salvage plate glass too small for use In windows Is employed for the glass doors of refrigerators, and larger pieces are utilized In tbe making of glass table tops. Small fragments go to the making of hand mirrors, al though only clear pieces may be so employed. Other pieces, too small for other purposes, enter Into tbe manu facture of glass signs. Eventually, when the last piece of merchantable glass has been cut from the damaged piece, there remain the scraps and fragments accumulated Id the cutting. Even these have tbelr uses, although tbey do not bring much. They are melted and used In the manu facture of jottles.-Wahlngton Star. More limn half the cars you wrc are Ford."
