Presidential election Nov. 3 CELEBRATED THURSDAY NIGHT May Erect Drinking Fountain. The Coffee Club. In celebration of the 25th an niversary of the organization the ladies of the Coffee Club gave a. par-ty at the city hall, Thurs day evening, which was largely attended and a social success in every way. The room was profusely deco rated with Scotch bloom, roses and greenery, and music was furnished by Woodcock's orches tra. Cards furnished entertain ment and tempting refreshments were, served. The club has the distinction of being the oldest organization of the sort in the state. It was organized May 28, 1883, with nine charter members. The first officers were: Mrs. L. F. Wilson, president; Mrs. F. A. Helm, vice president, Mrs. Rose Jacobs-Sell ing, secretary, Mrs. L. H. Addi ton, treasurer. The original purpose of the club was to provide refreshment for the volunteer firemen in time of need and thus render their work in fighting the flames less irksome. Often, at the sound of the fire alarm, the ladies have turned out in the dead of night, gone to the hall, built a fire and had he t coffee ready to serve to the tired, cold firemen when the latter had finished their work of saving property from the flames. The club is now the leading social organization of the city with a membership of 160 and a fine library of 350 books. The ladies are now contemplating the purchase of . a handsome drinking fountain, to be erected in commemoration of their 25th anniversary, an idea that is cer tainly to be commended. 440-yard dash Walters, Is-: thoughtfully over seven "thou land City; time 53.2 ; McDaniels, j sand pages or eighteen large vol Portland Academv: Niles.

I"n the closing paragraph of an excellent article on Portland, "The Queen City of the West," Rev. John Roach Stratton, D. D., uses the following beautiful language in expressing his ideas in regard to Portland's future: "The Pacific Ocean is the sea of the future, and this Western land is destined to undisputed supremacy. Still 'westward does the star of empire take its way.' ' .' "Yonder lies Seattle. She will be a great ' city, because she is the gateway to Alaska. There to the south is Tacoma, destined to a good development, though her lumber is her chief reliance. But yonder, farther still to the south, beyond the gleaming glory of Mount Hood, lies Port land, with her combined advant ages of location, climate and soil, and she is destined to be the leader of them all the crowned queen of the great Northwest! "Within a few generations she will have a population of 1,000, 000 souls. She will be, indeed, "The New York of the Pacific." Her great trunk lines will pour into her lap the boundless treas ures of her matchless territory; white-winged ships and throb bing steamers will bear her bounties out to every part of the earth ; intellectual growth and spiritual progress will go hand in hand with her material de velopment, and through all her happy children will laugh and labor and love and die among their roses." Rose Carnival Opens. Portland, Or., June 1, 1908. The Portland Rose Festival has opened with all Portland in a holiday humor, flower-wreathed windows and roses in evidence everywhere. Thousands of vis itors from outside points are in the city, and incoming crowds are greeted by an immense arch ot welcome erected at the ap proach to the Union Station. The Mosquito Fleet lies atan chor in the harbor, an excursion of over a hundred people, under the auspices of the Sacramento Valley Development League, ar rived this morning from the South. Washington is sending generous delegations and an ex cursion is expected from Lewis ton, Idaho, tomorrow morning. The whole Northwest feels that in addition to the innumer able purely attractive features of the celebration, the event is a marvelous advertisement of the climatic conditions, for no where else in the world can flowers be found more beautiful than the roses of the North Pacific Coast. The grand parades will excel anything ever seen on the coast, and besides-all the leading towns of Oregon, Washington will be represented in the floats and decorated vehicles. Jared Fuller died at the home of his son, George W. Fuller, in this city at 3 o'clock Friday af ternoon, after many months of ill health. He was aged 88 years and nine months, and was a na tive of New York. At the age of 16 he moved with his parents from his native state to Michi gan and there he was married in 1841 to Miss Clarissa Keeslar, who died June 20, 1881. Mr. Fuller crossed the plains to California in '49, remaining in the Golden State two years. In 1875 he made the long jour ney a second time, again re maining two years, when he once more returned to Michigan. He came to Oregon in 1881 and spent nine years, going back to Michigan in 1890. There he resided until , four years ago when he came to Corvallis to make, his home with his only son, George W. Fuller, from whose residence the funeral was held Sunday afternoon at two o'clock.
