"as tn8 Grants Pass Hospital been patients and many most WlthOnt difficult operations have been per formed, yet not a death bas followed an operation. Tbe service at this hos pital has been quite the equal had at the best city hospitals and the charges have been less than ia nffnn mnrla tn the cities for similar operations. But n.oi .. .,. costs from f."0 to 1100 for usually au ine Beneral Pn mat the won attendent or a physician has to go ' wiU not re'11 clM there alone. Then if a .itiv .mnii0111 hardly be but one result to the the sick person the cost of living and other expenses are larger in the large city;. than in a town. Already the Grauts Pass Hospital has saved a very large sum of money to the residents of Southern Oregon. It having been demonstrated that a ' hospital is a success aud can be made ' a permanent institution in Giants j Pass it is now the intention of several of the leading physicians aitd business men of the city to put the Grants! Pass Hospital on a more solid finan- j i cial basis. To that end it will be in-! Corporated and the publio will be asked to take stock iu the company.! A tract of laud convenient U the city and suitably located will bo pur , chased and a section of what can be made into t fine hospital building ; will be erected. The determination 1 is to keep the venture on a safe finan cial basis and not undertake more than what can be carried out with the 1 means at hand. A committee of busi-ne.-s men will call on the citizens of Grants Pass next week and it is ex : pected that every property holder and everyone interested in the welfare and upbuilding of the city and in the es i tablishment of a most worthy publio institution will take one or more shares of stuck.

Women are made for men ; and not for pants. When a man pants i for a woman and a woman pants or a j man these, my friends, are a pair of pants, but th.se pants do not last. : To make pants last, make the coat first. Pants are like molasses, because ! they are thinner iu hot wtatlier and j thicker in "cold weather. A fat man ! cannot keep up his .'pants in' not j weather without suspenders, Lbnt a ! dog can. Men sometimes makemis- takesiiu pants.andj these are calLed breeches of promise. There has been ! much discuHion, my (friends, as to ; whether pants is singular, or plural. In my mind, when a man wears pants, i it is plural, but when be does not.it is singular. Ex. PASS, OREGON. SEPTEMBER A Brief Record of Local Events.
