A Most Interesting Lecture.'
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.

Norrls & Rowe Circus.
For the season of 1906, Messrs.
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.
There will be apeoial services this
Sunday at Bp. m. at the new Free
Methodist church at which Rev. D,
T. Summerville will deliver the ser
mon. An Invitation is extended to
all to attend.
All members of Rogue River Camp
No. 65, W. O. W., are requested to
meet at their hall Sunday, April S3,
at 10:30 to attend memorial services
In honor of the late Head Consul F.
A. Falkenbnrg.
One of the most noteworthy mineral
specimens at the mining exhibit is a
large piece of copper ore from the St
Lilymiueln the Waldo district, the
property of Whipple A Khoueery,
This mine is undeveloped property
bat the surface indications are ex
tremely favorable for the existence of
a valuable and important mine Be
sides oopper, the ore contains a good
percentage of nickle and cobalt.
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.
