Mrs. Edyth Tozier Weatherred visited Grants Pass last week iu the intercut of the educational department of the Lewis & Clark fair. Her ob ject was to interest the schools in making exhibits of thtir work at the fuir and to put their exhibit In the most attractive form. Mrs. Weatherred has been in attendance at the four laigest fairs from the opening outil the closing days and her experienoe enables her to make many valuable suggestions ru1 she is spending her tune for the good of the stato with out expeuso to the schools or the fair management. She believes that the Oregon schools can make as good a showing as the schools of other Btates, if they only take np the work in time and with the right un derstanding of what is needed. On Friday afternoon, Mrs. Weatherred spoko to a number of ladies of the Woiniiiia Club regarding ways of ad vertising their town. Her sugges tions were numerous and valuable and the Womans Club has decided to take up work outlined by her. The even ing was devoted to a stereopticon lecture on the education aud art at the St. Louis Fair. The lecture was interesting and instructive and inas much as the light was steady and the views brilliant, it was especially en joyable. We can safely say that it was the very best stereopticon lecture that has yet been presented in Grants Pass. The enjoyment was heightened by the illustrated songs which wne sung by Carl Robinson. It Is to be regretted that so few people who have tho interest of Grants Pass at heart, took the .opportunity of hearing Mrs Weatherred speak.

Norris & Rows have decided to sten into their proper place in the ranks of the big circus owuers of the world. By earnest endeavor they hare now laid secure the foundation for the perpetnatiug of an honorable name to their succeeding generation, a name they hope will live forever as synony mous for all that is good and worthy in the realm, of the white tents. For the past 17 years they have been very successful in building upaheir for tunes, until at present they have es tabished an institution that ranks fourth in size with the greatest amusement enterprises dn the world. The profits accumulated In all these years have been taken from the hanks aud expended for complete new equip ment for their "Greater Circus" and the latter will be fonnd to be all that the name implies. It is with justifi able pride that these young circus proprietors point to past achievement and future accomplishment. In the 17 years of the existence of their shows, no touch of scandal nor unfair dealing has tainted their fair name. No games of chance were ever allowed arooud their organization. No an nouncement was ever made of per formers, acts, animals or parapher nalia they did not possess Every ptomise made was literally fulfilled. There is no community where the Norris and Rowe shows have exhibit ed but will vouch for the accuracy ol Norris & Rowe's statements and their absolute ooufldence with wbioh their announcements are greeted, so it is with more than ordinary interest that the pablio regard the present tour. The notable characteristics of the Norris & Rowe tour this year ia the rhyme and harmony with which so many new foatures have been happily blended into the programme. Mam moth new touts have been purchased ; a parade of all new special features will be given. Sensational ridiug acts by malo aud female expert eques trians; a groupe of Jajiauese swords meu will be shown. Marvelous and daring are the flights through the air of the aerial gymnasts ; the feats of cleverness of the equilibrists; poaturors; jugglers; leapers; vau Iters; the skill of the wild auluial trainora and the interest bound to be aroused by the new double menageries. Ex hibitions will be given at Grants Pass, Thursday, May 4, at 2 and 8 p. m. Reception to Rev. and Mrs. Brown. On Wednesday evening a very pleas ant reception was held at Bethany Presbyterian church in honor of Kv. aud Mrs. Herbert H. Brown, Mr. Brown having recently been chosen as permanent pastor for this church. The reception was held at the close of the evening session of Presbytery aud there was a oumerous attendance of the members of the of tho conrgega tion and frieuda of Mr. and Mrs. Brown. A short but very enjoyable program was given, the first nombor being a malo quartette by Cramer, Kluuey, Cramer and Voorhies. Short addresses were sasde by Rev. J. B. Travis and by A. U. Banuard, welcoming Mr. aud Mrs. Brown to their perma nent residence in Giants Pass and ex pressing the appreciation which ia felt by the members of Uetlisny church and by the other churches and the people of Grants Pass for the ability of Mr. Brown as a pastor and the earnest and effective work which he has already accomplished during the brief time that he has occupied the pulpit in this field. The closing musical number was a beant'ully ren dered vocal dnet by Mra. W. W. Walker and Miss Laura Parker, after wheh prayer was offered by Rev. D. T. Suminerville. At the conclusion of the program, ioe cream and cake were served aud a delightful social hour was enjoyed.

A big Fourth of July celebration la planned for Moouville, or as it is more widely known, Sams Valley, po8toffteo. The residents of Beagle, Table Rock, Meadows and Sams Val ley have joined forces and will have one of the good old fashioned celebra tions with the Declaration of Inde pendence, tree dinner and horse races as the principal features, while 1 monster barbaqnn will furnish diver sion. The citizens of the above places are planuing aud determined to make this the biggest Fourth of July cele bration ever held in that locality. A meeting of young men and busi ness men of the city was held last Snnday afternoon in the hall over the undertaking parlors of Hall aud Colo to consider the possibility of estab lishing a Young Mens Christiau As sociation in Grants Pass. The opin ion of those present, expressed by a unanimous vote, was that the Y. M. O. A. was needod here and that the place was large enongh now to sup port a modorn Association. Steps are now being taken to induce H. W. Stone, of Portland, State Secretary and Organizer, to come here and be gin the work.' If the movement is successful it will mean much for the best Interests of this city and es pecially the moral, mental and physi cal development of our young men. DIED.
