' These sweet singers and ebony colored fun makers of Dixie land have been recognized for many years as a high-class standard attraction and one that has scored a pheno menal popular success with theater goers In all sections of the country. Among the forty In Its ranks are to be found the most talented Afrlco Amerlcan singers, dancers, and com edians In the world. Slssleretta Jones, the Black i'attl, the vocal star of the organization, In addition to being the most gifted singer of her race, enjoys the distinction of having sung before the largest au diences that ever assembled In Madi son Garden, New York City, and the first colored singer honored by royal command to sing before the former Prince of Wales, now King Edward VII of England. In this country the Black Pattl and the Troubadours, through their refined and enjoyable stage performances, have added largely to the musical culture of the people.

The corps had the honor of en tertaining Its supreme officer, Mrs. Jennie Hlggins, Department presi dent. The lady is thoroughly alive to the best interests of the Woman's Relief Corps and in an address she urged the members to greater ef forts and a more unselfish devotion to the principles of fraternity, char ity and loyallty, ever remembering for what purpose we were organ ized as auxiliary of the Grand Army of the Republic who, without hope of reward, were ready at the first tap of the drum, when the country called for volunteers, to go In de fense of the Stars and Stripes, the grandest, most beautiful emblem of liberty that ever floated to the breeze of heaven. Much Information has been given the public concerning pensions re lating to the Civil War veterans by the 60th congress. 6S97 special pension acts were passed; many of these ants were to increase pensions already received by veterans.

Absolutely CENTRAL POINT COM ING TO THE FRONT targe Delegation Present Tom ltlclumlson Praises Progress ive Spirit. At the largest and most enthusi astic meeting ever held at Central Point, over $1000 was raised for publicity purposes for the use of the new Central Point Commercial Club. Large delegations from Ashland, Medford and Jacksonville were pre- sent and representatives from Grants Pass and other Rogue River valley towns addressed an audience that completely packed the opera house. "It was one of the most enthusi astic meetings of the many I have attended," said Tom Richardson, manager of the Portland Commercial club and organizer of the Oregon De velopment league, who was orator of the evening and the money raiser. Considering the population, the sub scription was the largest I ever se cured," he continued. "The people of Central Point are all right, and as a whole the Rogue River valley is the most wide-awake and progressive section of Oregon, as well as the richest In resources. I doubt if any valley in the world, for ..its size, has the resources and tho possibilities that the Rogue River valley has." Delegates were present from all the Rogue River valey towns. E. E. Blanchard, secretary of the Commer cial club, representing Grants Pass, spoke for Grants Pass and the desire of this community for co-operation with the other cities of the Rogue River valley. "We are all one peo ple, with common Interest, and all working towards a common end, the development of the valley, and Grants Pass wants to bo considered In the program of progress," he said. Tho Central Point Herald has the following regarding Secretary Blanchard: "E. E. Blanchard, secretary of the Grants Pass Commercial Club, was the next speaker, and he made good In every particular. His humorous allusions brought down the house and his declared antipathy to sec tionalism, knocking and bad fueling between the different towns and communities of the valley struck a responsive chord in every booster heart which means the entire au dience, 'Every booster should boost the entire Rogue Rlvor valley said Mr. Blanchard, 'Not Grants Pass, Medford, Gold Hill, Ashland, Jack sonville or Central Point, but boost the valley its a whole and reap pro portionate benefits.' Mr. Blanchard Is a recent arrival from Iowa. He has made heavy Investments around Grants Pasn and Is planting a largo acrengo to orchard, but when the call camo for him to take charge of the Commercial Club work at a heavy personal sacrifice he hired an expert orchardlst to take charge of his business and went to the club room offices, took off his coat and went to work to boost the valley. Mr. Blanchard Is a safe leader for tho Grants Purs Club and Is a most enthusiastic worker for the general welfare of tho community. Section alism and local prejudice are mon sters thnt Mr. Blanchard is after with a true Ronseveltlan big stick," IMINirs Meet In Portland.

Ashland, the Granite City, Is about to demonstrate her right to the title.
