THB CHAMBER OF COMMERCE la the local Chamber of Commerce Grants Pass baa an Institution of which every resident of thla' city and of Josephine county ought to be proud. Many cities In the state hare commercial organiiatlona, but one baa to travel a long way to And ft body of men with the pep, push and pull that la exhibited by this eity'e boosters. - " : A Jowa to almply a matter of the people la It Whatever the people are, so the town la. If the peoplo sleep, the town will sleep also. But If the residents of a place are alive, awake to ever possibility, that city will forge ahead and It cannot be kept back In spite of the kalar. To a new resident In this city Grants Pass seems to have Just the organization necessary. Never has a finer, more progressive, wide-awake body of men and women been seen than that which attended the meet ing In the club rooms laat evening. The spirit is contageous and the stranger cannot enter the gates of the city without feeling It. This Is one of the first things which Impresses the prospective res ident, and if the "goods" are back of the argument, so to speak, the at traction Is double. And without a doubt Grants Pass has the "goods". With the immense timber and mineral wealth surround ing the city, with the fertile, produc tive, agricultural land ot Josephine county, and with the Ideal climate for fruit growing, there Is no ques tion as to the possibilities of this country. ; . Then It seems that the main thing to do Is to alt tight and keep up the "morale" until the time comes to strike out, and the city which Is best prepared will reap the greatest bene fit at the earliest date. And for maintaining this morale no Institution can serve the purpose . better than a good" civic center, where people of every faith, of every business and of every Interest can meet and work for a common cause. , Grants Pass has a fine organiza tion,' but It should not rent until every business and professional man and every farmer within touch of the city becomes a member. . It Is worth tho price. Amiens, as a base of supplies and a: railway center supplying a large sec tion ot the British line. It would Camp Lewis, Tacoma. Wash., Apr. R. "Anything that makes a soldier a better man la worth while whether not be fatal, but It would be highly lt u boxing or something else." said Inconvenient It the Germane were to Lieutenant C. A. Rexroad. erstwhile Uke it Merely to have them near enough to throw shells into the city with the long range guns Is uncom fortable enough. ' . The other reason Is artistic and sentimental. There stands the Amiens cathedral, famed as the fin est example of medieval Gothic ar chitecture In the world. Its value to civilization, and particularly to France, la beyond all calculation. The allies know what Oermsny did to the Rhelms cathedral, which was almost as beautiful and Is some ways more sacred. They know what the Hun will do to this masterpiece if he once gets his guns within range of It. Never before In tbe history of Christendom has It been necessary to light battles for the defense of churches and cathedrals. Now It has come to that, as one of the many sickening details of beating back Prussian barbarism. THB BATTLE FOR A CHURCH There are two 'good reasons why the 'British and French exert every effort possible to turn the apex of SOLDIER LETTERS pastor of the Lowell street Metho dist Episcopal church of Butte, Mon tana, and now chaplain ot the Sltth Trains and Military Police. , Chaplain Rexroad admitted he Is taking boxing lessons from Willie Ritchie ramp boxing' Instructor and he expects to be able In a short time to show tbe boys of bis regiment a few' blows, along with spiritual ad vice.

I By mall) Eight petit Jurors In the United Statea district court In this city who were engaged In the trial ot Mr. Alesa Bolton, accused ot having sold liquor to soldiers in uni form, were summarily discharged by United 8tatea Judge Horace W. Vaughan yesterday aa unlit to serve. Judge Vaughan'a drastic action was taken when the Jury, which had heard the evtdence and arguments, came Into court and reported It was unable to agree. The Judge asked how the vote stood. Eight for ac quittal to four tor conviction, the foreman replied. Judge Vaughan then demanded the namea of the eight Jurors who had voted for acquittal, and they were furnished by the foreman. The court promptly ordered that these men be dismissed from service on the petit Jury. "I went to say to these Jurors that this is a perfectly clear case." said Judge Vaughan. "Yon have al lowed the defendant's attorney to Influence you against the govern ment and I won't have men of that kind on my Jury." Judge Vaugban's summary action created a sensation in Honolulu, as several of the Jurors whom be dis charged are men prominent In social and commercial life In the city. Mrs. J. P.

He has given me the pleasure of writing you and telling you that he is well and safe from all harm. He Is doing police duty ,t which is 140 miles from the front.

This cylinder should be three Inches In diameter and five Inches long placed so as to be about half Its length In the ground. Larger plantings may he protect ed by the nse of poison bran mash.
