It will be this, bat a Thole lot more besides. . It is proposed to make It an exposition of the varied resources of the district and a three- day, celebration of the wonderful de velopment and progress of the com munity during the season as welL The exposition will be held at the ball park In the southwestern por tion of the city, but it is proposed al so that the carnival spirit permeate the entire city, and the celebration 1b expected to do the occasion full justice and that will take some cele bration.' The board is negotiating for a number of attractions, having In mind carnival features, aeroplane or parachute, street dances, and oth er manner of merry-making. The members of the board state that the business men of the city are enter ing into the work of preparation with wDl, tad are co-operating fully in the preliminary plans. KUT-EL-AMARA. In following the fortunes of tbe belligerents in the unpleasantness over in Europe, it appears to theVb servant layman that England has blundered most grievously upon sev eral occasions. Her campaign stands out for its apparent errors, while Germany and France gain new luster from comparison. The latest evi dence of either unprepaVedness upon tbe part of the Britons or of monu- mental blundering was In allowing tbe garrison at Kut-el-Amara to be caught like a rat in trap and forced after months to surrender to the Turks.' A yielding to the Germans or to the Austrians would have been much less humiliating to the British than to have at last to bend the knee to the soldiers of the Ottoman empire. For a garriBon to surrender to tbe enemy after attempts have been made to relieve it is one of the most humiliating features of war fare. It Is made especially humili ating in the present Instance where the proud Briton must acknowledge that he has been beaten by the hated Turk. The surrender of a beleaguer ed garrison i always given promin ence' In the - after-written historical tale of wars. The collapse of the campaign at the Dardanelles was an other of the moves that will not add to the glory of English history. , Reports from the Coqullle country are that the railroad Is fast being pro jected toward the Mule creek divide. This road Is the one being built for the Smith lumbering company, but It Is standard In every way, and will no doubt ultimately be part of a road to connect the Rogue valley with the Coqullle country. The road Is now nearlng the coal fields In which many Grants Pass people are Interested. The members of the women's clubs of southern Oregon, meeting at Ashland during the week, went on record by resolution for(the full en forcement of the law prohibiting the killing of birds and the robbing of sests. They also asked that a law (bo enacted that will prohibit the placing of slgnH along the Pacific highway.

III 1jf POLITICAL POT With only 19 more days before the primary nominating convention, the voters are taking a new interest In the multiplicity of candidates for na tional, state and county offices. With the example of the Portland man who filed for president of ' the tJnlted States, assuming to place himself in the lists as "Oregon's favorite son," before us, it is remembered that a man's record as a citizen stands for much more than the claims he may vociferate from the housetops. The primary election is necessarily an election of men rather than of party principles'. Each party will strive to name a ticket that can carry its party vote and possibly get a few from the other fellow. One of the moat, interesting of the contests within the state is that be tween Ben W. Olcott and Charles B. Moores for the republican nomina tion for secretary of state. Olcott has made a good record as an official, but has brought some opposition to ! himself because of certain alleged : party Irregularities. Moores, on the other hand, is unquestioned in his support of the republican party in the past, and will get his support in a large measure from the party lead ers throughout the state. Mr. Moores has been In southern Oregon during the past few days In the interests of I his candidacy, having been aboard train No. 15 Friday afternoon en ' route to Med ford. I ' Locally, one of the least of the offices seems to be arousing the most jcomment among tbe adherents of ( democracy. The party organization has been headed for a number of years by 1m. Blover. Mr. Slover rep- ; resented bis precinct upon the central ! committee, and was named the coun jty chairman. At the eleventh hour . on the last day for filing declarations of intention to become a candidate Bob Smith filed for committeeman ' from glover's ward. The attempt to 'unhorse the county chairman has l aroused some of SloTer's friends, and it Is said that a write-In campaign will be the 'result, -with the contest ir"'"""'!?

Both are men of uprightness of character and of ability. Mr. Calhoun baa been identified with tbe business life of the town for 23 year, and has al ways occupied a prominent place in the enterprises of the community. As a city councilman, a member of the school board, and a public spirited citizen be has given of his time and his resources to tbe development of the district that he now seeks- to serve as treasurer. Mr. MaxweU is a newer man in the community, but his friends are already legion. The democrats of the county have only a partial ticket of would-be nominees, but there Is good authority for the statement that the ticket will be filled at the primary election through the writing In of names.
