AN ART SCHOOL ;for grants pass A Place Where Boye and Girle Will Be Taught How Draw From Life. to Grants Pass is to have the first Art School in Southern Oregon and that it is to be school of the first class is a fact that will make it doubly valu able. It is to be conducted by Prof. Geo. O'Brien, an artist of considerable reputation in eastern cities as a painter of portraits and landscapes, also as teacher, having bad classes in Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapo lis. Thorough courses of instruction will be given those who desire to ob tain practical knowledge of drawing, painting, designing, etc. Classes will be formed later for study In Industrial drawing, architec ture and etc This opportunity that is now to be given the people of Southern Oregon is one that should be given the greatest eooouragement as there is no one who would not be benefitted by having a knowledge of drawing. The time has passed when all who studied drawing were suppos ed to become artists. Modern society demands more artistic surroundings than formerly and the opening for remunerative employment in Design ing for the practical arts are endless, but they are only open to those who have had some training in drawing. It is the plan of the school to teach all ages from 9 years np according to their needs and price of lessons for the smaller children will be so low that no boy or girl should be denied the chance to show what talent is in them whether they have shown any inclination in that direction or not.

John George, a veteran of the Sixth Missouri cavalry, spent Monday and Tuesday at the G. A. R. encampment In this city, but he was unable to stay for the entire week as he has a large crop of alfalfa on his farm in the Illinois Valley near Kerby that is now so ripe as to require cutting. Mr. George has 60 acres to alfalfa aod grain. The alfalfa will be above an average yield while the grain will be rather below. The late long cold, rainy spell prevented the grain from making a good growth while the heavy rains just suited the alfalfa. Mr. George was formerly in the cattle business, but he keeps only a few cows for milk for family use, he finding it more profitable to sell his hay to the freighters who pass his place on the Grants Pass and Waldo road. Mr. George though has taken np the raising of heavy draft borses finding them the most profitable of all stock. Many other of his neighbors are taking op the breeding of draft horses and Mr. George thinks that within the next few years Illinois Valley will be noted for its fine Per cberon horses.
