Another flaw has been discoverer in the exemption act passed at the special session of tho ItRlsliiture A semi-colon imprniiorly until instead of a couia makes it dillicult to ascertain to a iiiatliematical cerfninty just wlmt is intended hy tho laiiuiigo of the bill Tho intention was that Iho amount of exemption should b f'HK), on any or all of various i'euis named. The inlrudiiiR semi colon makes It jmis illilo to infer from tho iiuiguiiKo that household 'floods aro ciciiij.t to any amount whilf cows, alira-p, tooln, die, are exempt to tho amount of $!0. Tho intention is that tho exempt ion shall suRreuto no moro than :iC0 on all tho Items. This Is u-jiverwilly un derstood to 1)8 intended meanliiK and it is to bo hoped that It run lw no interpreted an to suy what it means. At tho last meeting of tho city council an oriilwinro was presented for ooimemtion,' ameudiuK the present saloon ordinance by eliininut inn the Sunday cloning clause. It in not llsoly that the council will adopt tho cliango. Tho stiind tabeu by tho saloon nu n is that they should not bo alone compelled to close their business houses on Sunday, but that all should bo treatid alike In that re gard. The idea that saloons should be (rented 'liko any other business" is ouo that cannot bo carried out. Tho saloon cannot bo treated liko any other business, because it is utterly unlike any other husliiii It is a dis turbance creator and where it is lT mitted to cxii)t In rulightcned com munities, It is hedged about with re strictions and regulations in a man ner tery different from those, required of any other business. The saloon tnru should not feel aggrieved ul being discriminated against, as It Is their business which discriminates against itself.

THE GALICE WAGON ROAD No Freight Csn be Hauled to This Important Camp. Frank Colvlg writes from Ualice that a great deal of inconvenience is experienced In that district on account a' the impassibility of tho wagon road. Fur over two mouths it has been impossibln for a wagon road to get iu and at the present lime, there is no telling when the road will os:u. Provisions and supplies of all kinds are running low and some of the min ers are returning to first principles and are "packing" iu supplies on their hacks. Frank is employed at the Hocky Gulch mine where a low bar Is being worked.

COMIC OPERA "PINAFORE" Second Evening's Performance Drew Larger Crowd. Tho second presentation of "Piiia fore"by the Grants Pass Choral L'nimi was given last Wednesday evening and was even a more thorough socccss tlinu on the first evening Large audiences attended on both nights, but there was a larger house on'the second evening than on the first, as so many who wit nessed the first presentation were anx ious to see it again. It is the general expression that there was more life and vim in the second presentation and that the singing by both soloists and chorus was better, though tho first performance left little to lie desired in that regard. The costumes were a pleading fea ture of the production. All rxcopting tho Admiral and Little Buttercup wero in sailor garb, eiid the ladies es pecially, in their neat and uniform attire, presented a remarkably attract ive appcaruiico and in their chorus work, vocul and otherwise, assisted in an immeasurable degree iu making the opera the ruqualifledly successful event that it was The entiro chorus, both men and ladies, is deserving of a ore credit than the casual listener realizes, as the piece abounds in little pitfulls, calculated to entrap the un wary singer, so that nouo of the par ticipants can afford the slightest in attention or carelessness. Tho accur acy of all the vocalists showed that tho thoiough Instruction received un der the directorship of II. C. Kinney was not wasted. Tho musicians of iho orchestra also bandied their parts accurately and cleverly and with the most pleasing effect. After tho curtain fell on tho second act, the choral union held nil informal meeting behind the ernes and pre sented Mr. and Mrs. Kiuuey with a handsome picture of the buttleslvip Oregon, T. P.

Among the wide variety of women's argauUiitlous of the present day form ed for use or entertainment there Is hone that for immediate practical Leo eflt to the community and reciprocal good to the members surprises the vll luge Improvement iissoclullou.

There Is uu form of social aspiration or endeavor thiil uiuy not come under the bend of tin improvement club. Whatever pcrlulus to the appearance, government nnd so clul culture of the coinuiunlty comes rightly within Its scope mid Jurisdic tion. An example of this form of orgauixa thin Is Unit of Ucitcvu, lit, founded bout twelve years ago by Mis. Julia I'lato Harvey, suys a w riter Iu Hie I'll grim. Though several men Joined In the new movement, It wus distinctly a woman's movement, originating In the mlud of one woman mid ciii rled nut by her and her sister associates. The men belped with money mid applauded the work, but soon voted themselves out of ntllce, telling the women to go nhead siul do w hat they wished. The object of the new association was at first very simple to clear the streets of nn unsightly Utter of old tin runs and other rubbish, which bin) been allowed to nccuinuhito for years: to cut down some dead trees Unit bad long defaced the landscape nnd plant new ones. The appetite for fixing up tilings grew by what It fed upon: the work w ldetiisl. The Improvement club undertook one tusk after number until It numbered as many lines of helpful activity as a tumlcm department cluli. A library was started, a new station house built, nil unkempt cemetery put In order, the schoollioiise repaired and n woman phovil on the school board The money for the can1 of the streets Is mlwil ns fur as possible by annual memberships of Jl, the siini nccdiM Ih In- helped out by the uvial feminine devices hivvn suppers, private theatric ills, lectures and oyster slews. The chili here spoken of was siiisu In rly fortunate In Its founder. Mrs Harvey Is well known III club and phi ur.ithrupie circles In the nest for liei intelltk'ent leadership Iu this kind ol work. She Is a woman particularly tlt tiil for tier chosen tiik, whose gift of Ic.idcMhlp lies In sterling qualities, uu marred by the leu-! spirit of self sivk lug. love of ottlee or tcrimal dNptiiy. Mis.
