Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY, JULY 21, 181 1. VAOK l WEEKLY ROGUE RIVER COURIKR i REV. BROOKE RETURNS. Mr. Brooke, minister of the .Chris tian church, who has been attending the International convention of Chris-' tlan churches, convened at Portland July 4 to 11, returned Friday even-; Ing. This is the first assembly of this people to meet on the Pacific coast The delegates and ministers' ' from the east were much Impressed by the beauties of the "Rose City"! and the possibilities of development' along both ' commercial and church ! lines In the Pacific northwest There ! was apparent a commendable spirit! of unity and co-operation between the ' 'various religious bodies of the city during the entire convention, the White Temple, the Grace Methodist Episcopal, and the First Presbyteri an churches being given over to the uses of the convention during Its en tire session. The pulpits of one hundred and thirty-five of the leading churches were occupied on convention Sunday by ministers of the convention. It was Btated by various speakers, those who had attended many, that the Portland gathering was one of the greatest conventions ever held by the brotherhood. The thought that dom inated the entire session was the ne cessity of unity and co-operation among all Protestant churches In pre senting the Christian religion as adequate to the needs and demands ' of the times. ' The convention has served another vital purpose, in showing to those of the middle west, where the church is strong, the great need and oppor tunity for development and expan sion on the Pacific coast It is be lieved that this recent visit of the east to the west will speedily bear fruit in a larger activity on the sun set side of the Rockies.

Tvmaray r-rug Peerless 100 A BERRY ..RACE h - Great Interest Now Developing' In The Piano Contest jVOTHING like this contest was ever seen before, from the standpoint of the liberal prize and the widespread interest shown by , the contestants. New ones are coming in each weekGrants Pass hustlers are lining up their friends, while the country districts are making the race a warm one. Here's The Way They Stand t las Narrow Lead for '1st It's the 40 ,000 class this week that counts, and there never was such a race as this. No 100 takes first place, No. 78 drops from first to second. No. 135 is getting down to a gait that's going to make them all dust along and with 17,675 votes she scrambles into the winning list for third place. No. 29 holds her ow nat fourth place and No. 87 jumps from nowhore into the bunch of fast ones in a way that looks like getting money from home. Among the lead ers, this week are two young ladies from Grants Pass: Nos. 100 and 78. Two from Murphy, Nos. 135 and 87, and No. 29 from Gold Hill. While the city girl seems to have the advantage in the way of getting votes, such is not entirely the case as there are more after the city votes The country contestants are fewer mid have a larger field to hustle in, which statement is proven by the fact that 3 out of 5 in the winning class are out of town girls. However, the city girl has a splendid field in which to whow her popularity and see friends in her behalf. Work hard from the start, you'll have less to overcome at the finish. This contest is destined to be the biggest affair of its kind ever held in this locality, as the piano is the best instru ment that $400 will buy and it has cott neither the winner nor those who gave her votes, ab solutely one cent. It is a free gift, from the clothing house that splits profits and appre ciates your friendship and business. If our goods don't suit, don't forget it's a money back proposition with us we sell only what gives satisfaction.

P. COMPANY DIGS UP ORDINANCE IN ITS FAVOR i There are, no doubt, many persons la Grants Pass that are not awars that 18 years ago the then city coun cil made a law and an agreement with the Southern Pacific that the munici pality would never attempt to open another stteet across the tracks la Ithls city. Such la a fact, however, and the company may lnroke this old 'ordinance In the present attempt to 1 open Fourth and Fifth streets. It to i said, however, that the supreme court of Oregon has ruled In a similar caM Ithat no city council can legally rob ' a city of Its birthright in such a man ner, and knocked out the ordinance. This is possibly the answer which, will be made by City Attorney Clem ents If the company drags the oil law before Judge Calkins. The ordi nance was approved February 11, 1S9S by W. H. Fayle, mayor. Ths , record shows that "Councllmen Bur gess, Baughman, Dixon, Smith and Tuffs voted yes. Absent, Gray." Seo tlons one and four of the ordinance cinching the city read as follows: "Section 1.
