2 MENDING FENCES NOW UNDER WAY Anyone Who Strolls About Corridors in Washington Nowadays Doesn't Need Any Further Reminder That This Is Campaign Year. WASHINGTON, Junn 15. Any body who walks through tho corri dors of tho houso offieo building these days doosu't need any further reminder of tho fact thnt this is campaign year. Piles of mail baps clutter the halls of tho building nnd extra clerks are pressed into sorvico to assist in the mailing of litornturo to tho folks back home, all of which literature is designed to draw attention to the fact that their representative in con gress is on tho job. It has been more than usually "tnlky" in tho houso this session. Members feel inclined to voico their views on pretty nearly everything under the suu. "Leave to print," has been granted dftonor than usual. And all this adds to the weight of literature being prepared for home consumption. To tho desiro of members to get into print-on all topics is attributable in part at least the length of the present session of congress. It is campaign year and no representative intends to let nn opportunity go by to deliver his views. These same speeches, of course, are printed in tho Congressional Rec ord. But tho Record only gives them a limited circulation. When the representative desires that folks back home shall know of that bit of oratory, ho has tho government printing office print the speech in leaflet form and sends the tracts broadcast through his district, under his frank. It only costs his "clerk hire" to address envelopes. DOSE GETS TWO FISH. ONE CAST Laurels Are Snatched From Brows of Other Local Fishermen When New Champion Appears Upon the Scene. Moso Bark-dull IS the It new local happened champion fisherman. -thusly: Moso wanted to go fishing last Sunday, and ho had Jeff Heard se lect his tackle for him. Accordingly Jeff blows Mr. Barkdull at tho Mcd ford Hardware company for quito a few sequins. In tho list was several hundred feet of lino, and when Mose put it on tho rool it wouldn't go by some twenty feet. In accordance with tho principles of his youth, Moso wound the surplus lino on a stick and put it in his pocket. When he arrived at the fishing ground on Lost not Lake creok ho found that he had left all tho elaborate ttacklo at home, and all ho had was that fow feet of lino and a couple of -small hooks. Nothing daunted, he cut a willow pole, tied his line and Jiooks thereon, caught a couple of grasshoppers nnd impaled them upon tho hooks. Thou, while tho rest of tho crowd wore "sotting up" their elaborato puraphernalia Mose wan dered down to tho brook, made one .cast, hooked a two-pounder with each hopper, dragged them out on tho grass and rested the balanco of the .day. like Jock Billings, ho believes that ''whon you hit tho bullsoye tho first shot, sit down and keep still; people will believe then you can do it every tiuie," Hotel Arrivals.

I " 1 Just as I mailed my letter to tho Mall Tribune who should step out ot tho nostofflce but Chnuncy Floroy, offlco iloputy In tho assessor's office at Jacksonville. Ho and his wlfo hnd como out to visit his father and mothor nnd 'or parents and tho othor children. Their many frlonda gave them a cordial grootlns and hearty congratulations wero oxtondod to them with many woll wlshos. Last Sunday morning your Eaglo Point correspondent took a trip to Tnblo Rock to attend tho Sunday school picnic thnt had already boon announced In tho Eaglets. When I arrived on tho ground, on tho banks ot tho Roguo river, I found that Rev. Mark C. Davis, tho Sunday school missionary, had already been there, and he, with tho assistance of somo ot tho nolgh'jors, had erected a tent largo enough to comfortably seat a llttlo over a hundred persons, had tho seats already arranged, a long table erected and an organ on the ground nnd everything ready for tho ontor talnmcnt. At n little past 11 a. in. services wero commenced and Mr. Dav3 preached to a largo and appre ciative audlcnco not like thoy havo In tho cltloj, but about two hundrod people. Before preaching ho had small envolopes distributed and later they were gatboroa up and tho re sult was a contribution ot $11.62 toward tho Sunday school causo In Oregon. After preaching dinner was served, after which tho program of the Sun day schools Tho following Sunday school wero represented: Agate, Chapperell, Suma Valley and Tnblo Rock, beside a fow scattering ones from other schools. The program was simply fko; the children had been woll t-alncd and each one seemed to know just what to do and how to do it, rxd at tho closo Mr. and Mrs. Odell, Mrs. Beeby and one other whose name I have forgotten, sang an appropriate song and when they wero through the audience encored them and they sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," as bit few can sins it, then tho benedic.Ion was pronounced by Rov. Davis. After dismissal somo ono who had strong lungs cried out We will have enough lco cream for everybody and everybody IS Invited to remain." Then tho real social part of the program commenced, and the first call was for ablebodled men to man the freezers, and In a very short tlmo Miss Mao Xealpnd presented your correspondent with a dish of of ice cream. None of your town blue John froz.. but tho genuine arti cle, and thus began that part ot the program and that was kept up for about an hour. Wo all begpn to scat ter for our homes, but many of us will remember tho Sunday school pic nic of June 12, 1910, and look for ward to the children's day for Juno 11.1911. Speaking about Sunday schools brings to my m!nd that next Monday, Juno 20, is scl ool election day and It stands us in hand to seo to get ting a good m.-.u in for director and try to keep tho old mossback set out, so that we can keep up a od school. let everybody turn out. La.it Sunday the Tablo Rock ball team came over and met the Eaglo Point team. Thoy had an oxclting game an.l did corao good battldg on both sides. Tho game stood at the closo 18 to 2C in favo- of tho Eagle Point tea'ji. Last Sunday night I was requosted to go to Brownsboro to attend. tho funeral of Jchn Hart, whoso remains wero found in tho north fork ot Little Butto creek on Saturday, Juno 11. Tho county coroner waa called and tho decision rendered was that his death was accldontal.
