ner.
'
One of the most enjoyable valentine
social affairs was a whist party given
Friday evening at the home of J. A.
Slover, corner of 8th and E streets.
Forty guests responded to the invita
tions and passed a most pleasant
evening. After an exciting oontest, it
was found that Mrs. Horn and Harry
L. Starr bad captured the first prizes,
while Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Lucas car
ried off the consolation honors. Re
freshments were served during tbe
evening. The residence was decorated

About 80 invited friends assisted
Miss Alice Hortoo, one of the publio
school teachers, to suitably observe the
season with a valentine party, at tbe
.niKinna .Tnnhsnn home, corner 2d
and A streets, Friday evening. Var
ious amusing games were indulged in
and dainty refreshments were served,
all of which helped make it a delight
ful evening for one and all.
What promises to be one of the
noteworthy sooial f naotions of the
season is the 25th wedding anniver
sary of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Kianey,
which will occur at tbeir elegant
home on Nob Hill, next Wednesday
evening. A large number of Invita
tions are out and the occasion will be
a memorable one in local social cir-
oles. '
Tuesday evening Mrs. Tbos. Will
lams, at ber home, on 7th and A
street', entertained a few of her young

An important meeting of the Beth
any Fraternal Club will be held in tbe

The Presbytery of Southern Oregon
will meet in Grants Pass, Tuesday,
Aprjl 14, for which preparations are
already being made.
H. L. Truax received word from
his old home, at White River Juno-
tion Vt., this week, to the effect that
his mother, ' Mrs. 0. B. Truax, aged
81 was dead. She has made several
visits with her son in this city and
and many friends here, who will re
gret her demise.
Wm. Fehley. the worphtns fiend
who was accused by the Corouer s
Jury w !h having given the late Earl
Dotson enough morphine to cause tne
latter's death, was yesterday released
from custody, after the matter had
occupied the attention ot Justice Hoi-
man for a good part of the past week.
The electric wiring on tbe big
arches which span Sixth street at F
and G streets, was pot on this week
and now the arches are being ad
mired and favorably commented upon
by the travelers and paeeersby. They
nresent a very neat aaa impressive
nnomnno and cannot help but do
much good advertising.
Unoo consideration of the general
increase In land values throughout
the state, the state land board, at its
meeting the other day, decided to In
crease the price of all state lands all
over the state from 13.50 to $5 per
acre. Secretary Brown, of the land
board, stated that the demand for the
land was becoming greater and that.
it is thought the state could get 15
per acre Just as easy as the original
price. Ihe state still holds tracts of
land, some of which is worth much
more tbaa the price aiked for It. It
la aaid that private parties hold
similar property at considerable
higher prices.
The successful Grants Pass High
achoel debaters were somewhat dis
appointed to learn that the Marshfleld
debaters whom they are to meet in mo
forensio arena and toy conclusions, bad
decided that they wanted another sub
ject, evidently fearing to meet the
local team, after it had won both
former debates. Tbe new subject Is:
"Resolved. That Boards ot Arbitra
tion With Compulsory Power Should
be Established to Adjust Disputes
Between Employers and Employes."
The debate was first set for February
IS, but on account of the change of
the question, tbe date was postponed
until February 20 and will be held In
tbe Baptist churoh of Roseburg.
