The naming ot Granta Pass has
caused many an "oldest inhabitant"
to hold forth with Interesting account,
but all brand a unfounded the ortho
dox classic, which has the greatest
glamour as a "tellable" romance. The
commonly-told tale reports that in
the '50s General Ulysses Grant, then
a captain in Oregon Indian lighting,
was sitting in a game of poker in an
old cabin to the north ot town. He
lad been on a strenuous trip, and
was very drowsy, though still In the
a
game, when a picket rushed to the
door and shouted, "Jump quick, cap
tain, the Indians haw attacked us."
Grant is said to hare merely blinked
his eyes as he managed to say, "I
pass. Whence the later settlement
Is said to hare dertred its nsme,
"Grants Pass.
As a matter of fact, however.
Grant was never In this TicinKy, ac
cording to H. B. Miller, head of the
School of Commerce of University of
Oregon and the first storekeeper in
Grants Pass. Mr. Miller has looked
tip the matter in government records,
and for his own satisfaction traced
out the origin ot the name soon after
he came here.
It seems that the name has a direct
connection with Grant, "but that he
was thousands of miles awsy when
the honor was conferred, and prob
ably never heard of it When Mr.
Miller established the first store on
the site of the' present city, the old
road-house on the San Francisco
Portland stage line, located on Tokay
Heights, had come to be designated
as "Grants Pass."- The post ofBce
was then in the road-house, and when
It was transferred to the H. B. Miller
store the name was retained, and has
ever since been the official designa
tion of the town.
' The name was traced back from its
use at the road-house, and was found
to have been applied originally to the
low divide or pass, now known as the
Merlin' divide, through which , the
stage road was run when the first
route over the Louse Creek hill
proved too steep and roundabout
This was In 1865 or 1866. and when
the question came up as to how the
new route should be distinguished
from the old, the men who were
working on the road decided to call
It the "Grants Pass route" by way of
celebrating Grant's great victories of
1865 in the South.

At the Newman Methodist Episco
pal church yesterday morning Rev.

audience on the theme of the day.
The G. A. R. and W. R. C. attended
the church in a body, marching In at
the beginning of the service.
Mr. Wire spoke of the debt of our
nation to the heroes, living and dead,
who fought In the great Civil war.
He sketched briefly the prominent
events and movements In the early
slavery and the attempt to extend
it into new territory, the unprepared
ness of the north at the outbreak of
the war, . drawing a lesson for the
nation, today. He spoke of the En

the condition ot the South at the close

essential thing in the present world

FIGHT FOR PEACE
Oil ALLIES' TERMS
(Copyright 1916 by United Press.
Copyright In Great Britain.)
Petrograd, May 29. Russia will
fight twenty years It necessary until
Germany is forced to accept allied
terms of peace, Michael Rodzianko,
president of the douma, told the
United Press in an exclusive inter
view today. He scoffed at the danger
of revolution in the csar's empire.
There is no peace party in Russia.
said Rodzianko. "That is a German
Invention. The douma is solid In its
demand that Russia continue to fight
until Germany puts her cannon in a
pile and accepts the allies' condi
tions. "The emperor, the douma and the
peasants-are united in this. Tell this
to the people of the United States as
emphatically as you can."
Rodzianko has just arrived from
his home in time for the re-opening
of the douma today. '
"You need not accept my word ex
clusively," he said, ."You are wel
come to the floor ot the douma, where
yon can talk to any one. All will tell
what I have told you. Russian peas
ants know the meaning of German
hegemony. They are for war. We
will light twenty years If necessary
to conquer Germany. We will force
Germany to accept our terms. Peace
on any other basis will be unthinkable.
Russia would refuse to accept If the
allies would and the allies would
not. Peace propagandas now In cir
culation are unfriendly to the allies."
Rodzianko was asked If the douma
would attempt reforms.
"This is no time for such legisla
tion," he replied. "We will devote
the session first to war measures, re-
vlctuallng the army, etc.; second to
economic problems growing out of
the war, and third to the strengthen
ing of local governing bodies.
"I can not say how long It will re
main in session, but we are not afraid
of its dissolution. The douma Is
working pretty well with the govern
ment. It will finish Its program ear
ly, however, as the douma is com
posed of agrarians, who must adjourn
before harvest, which comes shortly."

Aaked the reason tor the douma's
long recess, Rodzianko replied:
"Its members are mostly farmers.
They can do more good raising crops
for the army than by simply meet
ing." ' He declared that Russia was not
only willing but prepared to carry the
war to the end.
"Russia Is more ready to support
her share of the burden than aha was
at the start The army has almost
double the spirit It possessed early In
the war. It la better equipped and
better supplied with munitions. , It Is
beiter fed than a year ago. The for
tunes of war vary, hot whatever hap
pens, Russia will fight until Germany
is beaten down.' There is no danger

In 1S47 the Island of Mauritius issued
two varieties of stamps-one in red at

Of these only some twenty or so are

recent years two pairs of red and blue
sold respectively for 680 snd 1,021.
