The Pasmore Trio presented their
superior program to a small audience
at the opera house Tuesday. The
music more than pleased the lovers
of good music, the program seeming
far too wort. The ladles, though,
were Tery gracious In their response
to encores and their masterly control
of their Instruments and winning
manner called for many.
It was advertised that the pro
gram would be an entire change from
that presented at their previoug stop
in this city, hut the old program was
printed, necessitating the announce
ment of the numbers by Miss Susan
ette. For the benefit of those pres
ent at the concert and who expressed
a desire for It, we publish the pro
gram rendered; Trio, Novelletten,

The Pasmore sisters were seen at
the "Good Eats" cafe this morning
and diverting their attention from
nicely browned flap-Jacks and corn
syrup to the reporter, they spoke
with enthusiasm of their audience.
They said they were not used to a
small audience, but it was a pleasure
to appear before one so appreciative
of their efforts and the heartiness
of Cue applause compensated la a
measure for lack cf a full house.
F. F. Groves, after seven years'
effort in trying to find a better place
than Grants Pass, returned Tuesday
night and will hereafter remain con
tented. He and Mrs. Orovea spent
much 'time In Colorado Springs and
farther east, also at Los Angeles.
Mrs. Groves came to Grants Pass
some months ago, while Mr. Groves
went to San Diego to try that clim
ate. After having experienced seven
white frosts and one snow In six
months and shivering In the damp
breeze he decided that the favored
spot was no place for him and he
has returned. Mrs. Groves a week
ago bought a 15-acre tract abor1 10
miles down the river and they will
set out additional fruit and make Im
provements. WOMEN' S VOTE BEATS THE
SOCIALISTS IX MILWAUKEE
MILWAUKEE, March 2'.'. -Defeating
the socialist candidates for
the school board In this, the hit-bed
of the propaganda In the United
States, Milwaukee women todav are
recognized as a political power w hich
had nullified all precedents. They
polled 10,000 votes.
When two socialists were nomin
ated for the school bnnrd the women
named twelve non-partlsau candi
dates to oppose them. Four of the
14 candidates were to be elected and
the women concentrated their power
against the two socialists. In some
residential districts the women out
numbered the men, but at all tbe
polls throughout the city the women
were outnumbered by the male
voters 2 to 1. Their solidarity, how
ever, won the day. One of ihe rea
sons for the women's opposition to
the socialists was bitter denunciation
of the socialist control of the city
by Catholic and Lutheran clergy
men. MOTHER CAKES I OK III l;

ANNOUNCEMENT TF
Our Locality to be Hoiucsteaded
Again in Ten Acre Tracts
I wish to announce that I am in
augurating a new method of secur
ing bona fide settlers for this sec
tion of the Rogue River valley. I
have entered into contracts with
the owners of several tracts of fruit
land to be sold without payment
down but to be paid for on or be
fore six years.
This plan is quite similar to the
government homestead law. The on
ly provisions are that each man lo
cating on a 10-acre tract iirst de
posits $1000 in trust in one of the
Grants Pass banks to be checked
out for improvements and develop
ments on his 10 acres during the
first year. Simultaneously with this
deposit the owner will furnish ab
stract and make warranty deed to
the purchaser and in payment for
same take mortgages due on or be
fore six years from date with inter
est at six per cent, payable quarter
ly. The buyer to pay taxes and
keep the buildings insured In favor
of the mortgagee, as his interest may
appear.
I would like to talk with the own
ers of lands and explain my plan to
them. It Is not only decidedly to
your Interest, but to that of the
locality that you come in and let
me fully explain the details of this
plan to you.
I also have both developed and
undeveloped lands for sale, in large
and small tracts, for cash or on pay
ments; also lands to be planted to
orchard and cared for for five years,
sold on small payment down and
small monthly payments, as well as
some very desirable residence and
business lots and small acreage for
suburban homes; also business
chances. In fact, this new home
stead feature is simply an addition
to my general real estate business.
