A dispatch from Oregon City to the r1
Orogonian says: "Mies Minnie Acker
man of this city and James W. Shaw of
The Dalles, who were married in Port
laud last Saturday, left last night for
San Francisco. Miss Ackerman's par
ents, who are Jcwp, were slightly op
posed to their daughter's marriage, but
there was no elopement or sensation, as
was imagined by some. The bride has
spent most of her time since her mar
riage at her mother's home in this city."

young people of the Congregational

will furnish passengers with ice cream,
and the conductor, having had years of
experience on this line, will see that
the excursion is a success. The brake
man also will see that all lights are ex
tinguished going through tunnels for
fear of combustion. All are invited to
We the trip and enjoy the scenery.
J The report of the state geologist of In
lliun.1 for the past year lias just
always has been impossible for every
woman to get the kind of husband she
ought to have. This is not a fault of the
woman, but because the measly men
don't all make "rich, loving and faith
ful husbands." It is only a few of us
that can boast all these good points.
LaBt Saturday S. D. Adair rode from
the wreck of the old Cairnesmore to the
Columbia riyer jetty, sayB an Astoria
paper. From the Fort Stevens end he
drove his horse under the jetty on dry
sand Uji; miles west. The ridw took him
to within one mile of the end of the jet
ty. In some places he was compelled
to lower his head to avoid being struck
by the timbers that hold the track. This
track was 20 feet above water when it
was laid. The sand over which Mr.
Adair passed is now high and dry at all
stages of the tide, and constitutes quite
an accession ot territorv to ttie govern-
ent reserve. Mr. Adair says that this
sand accretion has all appeared in the
past year, and lie believes that the jet

The happiest boy we have seen in a
lpng while was a little fellow who passed
the office about 1 o'clock this afternoon,
headed for the river. He had a can full
of bait, an immense fish pole and a atone
bruise that made him walk on his toes.
He was whistling a selection from II
Trovatore, or something else entirely
unintelligible, and his stone bruise, his
limp and his whistle were the envy of
all hie fellows. As he paseed with his
mighty fish pole, we were reminded of
that touoning poem :
"His pole wus inrnle of the .strongest 011k,
Ills line, a cable Hint never bruku;
And he baited Ins hook with timer's tall,
And hehtoixl on the beach tind lie llfched for

And lie Nit on his bed and bobbed for Ileus"

The work done hitherto by the Boys'
and Girls' Aid Society of Oregon in res
cuing homeless, neglected and abused
children of the state will, undoubtedly,
be familar to many of the residents of
this city, but to those who are not fa
miliar with the work, it will be inter
esting to know that this institution
rescues homeless, neglected and abused
children of Oregon, cares for such until
suitable homes or employment are found
for them, and continues a systematic at
tention to their tteatmcut and condi
tion. During the past year this society
has received and placed out in homes
208 children, and the avernne number
placed out by this society during the
past four years is twenty-two per mouth,
or 264 per annum, making a total of
1050 children in tho past four years.
This society has a model home, sit
uated in East Portland, which is used its
a depot or clearing house for children
who are taken from brutal parents or
picked up homeless or neglected. They
are taken to the Home properly clcaiifced,
clothed and kept until a suitable home
is found for them. There is on band
continually at this depot from twenty
five to forty children, about two-thirds
being boys and one-third girls. Tbe
girls, from tho youngest to the oldest,
are thoroughly trained in hoiisewc rk as
long as they are at the home, while the
boys are taught out-door employment,
and are put to work on the ground ad
jacent to the Home, which the manage
ment has begun to cultivate. With
plenty of fresh air and a good bed ami
regular meals, the children toon im
prove. Waeco county has contributed lit
share of abused and neglected children
to this society, and in all cases the final
result has been highly satisfactory.
Perhaps it will bo fresh in the minds of
many residents of Wasco county the
case of the Gibson girl, aged 4 years,
who was living with her mother in a
dilapidated barn at tho edge of The
Dalles. The mother was one of the
most abandoned creatures it is possible
to imagine. Besides living an immoral
Hife, she was a morphine fiend and it was
thought administered the drug to the
little girl. Her husband was also a
tiend, and at the time the attention of
the society was called to the case, he
was an inmate of the insane asylum. The
only furniture in the barn was an old

ole in the roof, an old bunk, in which
