On Monday evening, a publio school library March benefit held in the High School Assembly room. The eveuiug's entertainment wag famished ' by Charles E. Phipps, assisted in several numbers by his wife Maud Pefley Pbippa, planisle. Mr. Phipps is a master in the art of palm whistling and all kinds of musical eccentricities. Interspersed throughout the program, which was largely a laughter creating one, were several classical violia and mandolin numbers which were very pleasing. The proceeds of he affair go toward the building np of the Publio School library. On Weduesday afternoon of last week Miss Ella Savage, a mem ber of the Grants Pass High School met with quite a painful accident. She was at basket ball practice at the time. Upon raising her hand to htr head to replace a loosened comb, a large black-headed piu caught in the folds of her sleeve and was thrust into r residents of the country precincts and her open eye. Before any of the girls not a death took placa iu Grouts Pass wt?M aware of what had happened, tor the month. In other sections of the i 8,18 ad, herself withdrawn the pia. Doctors Are Puzzled. The remarkable recovery of Kenneth Mclvr. of Vanceboro, Me., is the subject of much interest to the medi cal fraternity and a wide ciro e of friends. He says of his case : "Owing to severe inflammation of tha tl and oon-estion of the lumrs. three doctors save me ud to die. when. a last retort, I was induced to try Dr. Kings Aew Difcovery and I am happy to guy, it raved my life."

Trial bottle free. country, February is one of the months of the year in which there is always a Inrpe death rate, but in Rogue River Valley, where the Win ter season his no violent changes of weather and blizzards are unknown, February has'as low a death'rate as anv other month in tfie year. That Grun s Pass, ao'ty of 4 'CO papula ioD, should not have a dath in a whole month is most positive proof of its healthfol location. And it is eqnally flattering to Josephiue county that with its 12,000 population that its death rat should he but .00035 per cent. With scarcely no deaths, a healthy birth rate and a large immi gration Josephine county at nn dis tant period -should become on of the most populous oountles in Oregon. Of quarantinable diseases there wa but one in the county, mild case of scarlet fever, which waa quickly con trolled with no spread of the disease. During February there were six marriages in Josephine oonnty. Un der the new law the certificate of marriage must show residence of both bride and groom, their ages, nativity, oolor, that is, white, Indian, negro, etc., occupation of both, whether pre viously married, nam and birth plaoe of parents of both 'contracting parties. Birth reports 'must show sex, oolor, if legitimate or illegitimate, maideu name of mother, residence, nativity, age and occupation of parents, how many children they previously have had, how many are alive and how many dead. Death reports most show age, sex, color, single, married, di- 1 vorced or widow or widower, birth 1 place, occupation and names and nativity of both parents. ' As soou as Miss Bridge, the teacher in charge, renlized that the pin had really pierced the eyeball. Miss Savage was taken to Dr. Findlny, hose ollice was just across the street and the wound received immediate at tention. Although our schoolmate will have to spend several tiresome I wiensiu a darkened room, still her eye is im roving and it is hoped that no permanent injury to her sight will result from this unfortunate ac cideiit. Tuis last week has been one of va-1 cation for a number of the High School students The occasion for I 'his being the term examinations;! there examinations which come at the 1 end of each Win of three months ; were given iu the mornings only, while the teachers had the afternoons I for correcting papers. All I upils j having 00 per cent or above in deport-1 meut were exempt from the examina-' tioo in all subjects in which they had ! attained an equally high grade, j Thus it pays to be good in school as well as elsewhere for there is nothing : that the average student xppreciates more than a vacatiou in early Spring.
