A TALENTED MUSICIAN Grants Pass Girl Has Rare Musical Talent. Mosio lovers of Grants Pass were given a treat at the piano recital by Miss Eula Howard Monday evening. That a pleascre was anticipated was proven by the large attendance, the Mason io banquet hall in which the re cital was held, being filled even to standing, and that all thoroughly en joyed the event was proven by the hearty encores that were given Miss Howari, sud also to Mrs. W. W. Walker, who gave added interest to the program by reuderiug in a most effective manner some flue vocal selections. Miss Howard, though yet a mere girl, showed wonderful self composure and when at the piauo was so enraptured with the spirit of her musicl that 'she gave no heed to her Miss Howard ia a Grants Pass girl, this being her birthplace, her father, now retired from business, being the pioneer raerchaut of Grants Pass. For the psst three years she has been speudiug most of her time In San Francisco, her mother being with her, where she has been a pupil of Hugo Mansfcldt, who launs as the greatest teacher of the piano ou the Pacilio Coast and one of the greatest in the United States. She has proven her self one of his most talented pupils and she has earned the signal favor of being made a member of tne Mans feldt Club, an oigauizatiou oomposed of only such members of Mr. Mans feldt'i olass as have shown exception al talent.

Her execution of some of Chopin's most artistic com positions proved that she had the horn genius ot a musician and that she will make a name for herself in the musi cal world is a certainty. The marked feature of Miss Howard's playing was the expression she gave to her selection-. So many women players, though having the ability are unable through lack of strength in their j hands and arms to give the full ex pression to spirited compositions, it was rcniaikable the strength of hand that Miss Howard showed and no man could have brought out the heavy tones on the piano better than she did. And equally remarkable was her lightness of touch, w hich enahlcd her to give a beauty aud a finish to her playing that would hu hard to ex cel by even the masters.

Good roads mid atre. t and civic improvements were the topics considered. The problem was dis cussed of crude petroleum as a surfac ing material for roads and slreits and it was voted to urn the city and county to try an experimi utnl section of a street aud road treated w ilh oil. A committee coiijkjsm1 of Wa'ter Harmon and C. V. Heukle was ap iuted to secure California author ities data as to the cost and masm r of construction of ih d surfaced streets aud roads. j The beautifying of Grunts l'ass by the planting of trees was considered 1 and it was decided to begin an active campaign for tree planting li is hoped to induce the citizens to plant more trees about their home, the county c urt and school lioard w ill b--asked to have the court house square and the grounds shoot the three cily schools improved snd shade trees planted oat about Ibem. An effort will be made to have the depot park planted to trees and shrnbbery and made an attraction to tbe people passing oo the trains. Tbe serorlng of grounds for a public park will also be undertaken. A civic improvement committee to have charge of this line of the League's work was H pointed. the mi uihers being Dr. W. It. Flana gan, I'rof. K. It. Turner and L. H. Hall. The mem hers of the Municipal League hope that all the progressive citizens of Grants l'ass will join them in tliii effort to heautify the city with trees. It is admitted by all that the treeless streets aud public grounds of Grants Pass are a reflection ou the city's progress! vein sm. A wealth of trees iu the city would give a touch of beauty and homelike ap arane that nothing else would. The heat of the summer days and the glare troin the grHiiite sidewalks and streeis would lie greatly lessened by the foliage of shade trees along tite streets. The Grants Pass Municipal league is not simply a reform organization as some hate supposed, drawing their conclusion from the league's success, ful effort to prevent a license being granted for a saloon to be ojiersted oulsidu the city limits and beyond jlice control, on the stage road south of town, but is for the purpose of working for the general better ment of Grants Pass. While ever willing to take up any moral feature that will advance the common good tlce League will work with a strong purpose for any matter that will add to the prosperity snd general welfare of the citizen of Grants Haas. Tbe I resident of the League Is Kiv. J. B. Travis and the secretsry is Eugene Pearson, the well known mining man. The League baa some 40 members who are among the influential citizens of the city aud iu menjbcnhlp is steadily increasing. J. II Johnson, who left hero last March for the Itullfrog district iu Nevada, is back and hu is better satis- lied with Oreogu than ever and he has tbe most rt uiplete confidence ill the future of Southern Oregon as sum to hooouie one of the big aud richest mining districts ill the Cultcd Static. Mr. Johnson went to Nevada to suerilitc lld the t'cvolnpmc lit of some claims held near Bullfrog by Nevada capitalists with whom be is asso ciated, and be is also associated with tbe same partus iu some claims ou liirclseye creek and ou Appl' gate. Of lift and mining prospects on the deserts of N' vada Mr, Johnson docs not give a flattering report. He asy there are a few good mines, but the hulk of Hie mom y that makes the booming limes in Hi llfrog and the othir new camps is that had from suckers, who have heroine willing victims to the mine pioinon rs who fairly swarm iu all the new Nevada, camps. There are a lew rich minis in each disttict and it is ou the repu tation of Ho se that the promoters of the fake mining com pun is are aide to gull t ie suc kers i lit of their mouey. So soon as a strike is made these fellows liiiuii diutely locate all the adjoining laud as mining claims and theu organize wildcat milling compauiep, rhe stock of which they unload on the gullahte Ka'tcrii in vestors. Mr. JoliiiMin s ales that life in Nevada is stre nuous, exM'iisive and full of hardships. In the summer the beat la awful ou the deserts and water almost as scarce as in Hades. Iu man v of the new camps watc r was hauled from the canyons and sold at from W) cents to J a barrel. Pro- visions aud f eel is very h gb in all the Nevada (amps. While living ex pen.es are vry high wages are not high ili prnisirtiou and a laboring man cannot do as well as here in Southern Oregon. And it is the opinion of Mr. Johnson that investors can realizs far better ou their money here in Southern Oregon than iu any district In Nevada. He says that there is great interest ill Nevada in rigard to Southern Oregon and theie ia certain t'e be a large influx of capi tal and labor from that Hate to this district within the nest year. Mr. Johuson will at once have develop ment work renewed on their Birds eye creek claims and a force of men will be employed all winter. The work so far done shows the veins to lie well defined and of good size and the assays give most eucoureging re sults in the values to be had In gold.

SABBATH EXPERIENCE OF PROMINENT MAN Is Taken Tor Stranger at Church And Learns That Grants Pass Is Growing. CLEANLINESS AND ORDER AN ELEMENT OF SUCCESS The settlers of the Applegate Valley about Davidson, Kuhli mid Appb'gnte are desirous that they have a direct mail service with tbe lower Apple gate Valley and with Grants Pass As the Applegate mall service now is the poslolllcesat Applegate, K u 1)1 i and Davidson have a mall route to Jack -souvllle, Applegate being daily and Kuhli and Davidson trl-v eekly, and the oltlocs at Murphy, Provolt and Williams have a daily mail to Grants Pass. There la no mail route to con nect these two groups of postoUicos and mail can not be sent from one sec lion of the Valley to another except by way of Grants Pass and Jacksonville.

Mr llariiiou would fuvor hsvie g one con tinuous route from Grants Pass to lac icsoi ville with a daily mall each way. Tho distance Is only about S,1 miles, over one of the Is-sl roacls iu Southern Oregon, for there are no heavy i rades on it, the road from Grants ' Pass to Murphy is acres theliogue; and the A pplcgatn ri vi r bottoms and! fro.n Muephy it follows up the Apple gate to Much, from which' pla''c the i ro.icl goes up Forest creek and Poor-' mans creek ami nfriiss"thn low di-j vide to Jacksonville.

That Grants Pass is growing, and rapidly, too, la proven in more ways than one A prominent citizen of Grants Pass, who has been a resident of the cily for the past 10 years, has proven by a recent tmharraasing expeiiei.ee of his that the populaliou of this city is gaining at rapid rate. This prominent man attends one of the prim ipal churches of the citr, witli more or less regularity. Of late his atteuiiaiice has been of loss regu larity, ami on a recent Sihliuth he made amends and was In his accus tomed pew Iu the church. At the olose of the services, as be passed down the nlsln lo depart, three different protons, nil strangers to him, gieeled hi in cordially and In vited him to again attend their church, as they were glad to have strangers w ith them.
