ORVILLE BUTLER 81 YEARS YOUNG Birthdays may come and birth days may go but Orville Butler does not change. He continues to radiate the happiness and cheer of his boyhood days, for he knows the secret of putting into life just what he may ex pect in return.

The children present were: Dr. 0. D. Butler, Word Butler. Mrs. Sadie Smith, Vance Butler, Dean Butler an attorney from Oregon City, and Dr. Frank Butler of Portland. A daughter, Mrs. O’Donnell of Id^ho, was unable to be present. THAT SILVER LINING BY O. L. FOSTER The Gossip— I hear your store roblieil last night. Ijose much ? The • Optimist— Some. But it would have been worse if the yeggs had got in the night before. You see, yesterday I just finished mark ing down everything 20 per cent. wes Herbert Hoyser Laid to Rest Tuesday Afturnjon There are times in a man’s life when something happens to take ali the conceit out of him. This happened to the writer upon his first visit to the beautiful Colum bia Highway. I had often spok en of my powers of imagination; have made ten trips from the great Mississippi river to the greater Willamette river; ..are viewed from the train the beau ties of the Sierra Nevada moun tains, the Siskiyous, the Rocky mountains, the hills of the Ozarks. and have viewed from the motion picture screen the different natural sceneries of many of the foieign countries, and being a great lover of na- ture, I was prepared, or thought I was prepared, for what I saw on the great Co umbia Highway. But after drinking of the beauty and magnitude of the natural scenery along this highway, I was simply awed. Standing at Crown Point and looking up and down the Columbia river and viewing the mountains in all their granduer and stateliness, standing on .the bridge and view- ing the wonderful Multnomah Falls caused me to stop and consider the amallness of man in comparison to the Great Creator of all this. Then in driving over one of the greatest engineering projects in all the world, going around the figure eight and all t.ie other curves necessary to enable us (o ascend the grade of over 700 feet back to the top of Crown Point, ana to think of all the money, labor and gray mat ter expended to enable us to ac complish this feat, caused me agai to have confidence in mere man. One who will observe and think cannot make a trip over the great Columbia River High way without being in some way a better man. After seeing and being in close touch with the magnitude and beauty of it all, it makes one have a greater reverence for the Creator of all things. Anyone that can go. and does not go. over the Colum bia Highway cheats himself of one of nature’s greatest treats. The slogan, “ See America First” is a good one, but could be im proved on by saying “ See Ore gon First” . A large number of Independ ence friends attended the funeral services of Herbert Hoyser which were held in Salem Tues day afternoon. The service was under the auspices of the Ameri can Legion and Homer Lodge Knights of Pythias of which he was a member. Concluding ser vices were held at City View temetery.

It not only in dicates the name of one of the best automobiles but serves as a signal to all that they had better “dodge, brothers” , while Mr. Hubbard is learning to drive. However, at this writing “ Colonel” Hubbard has mastered the situation and drives like an expert. in the university at that place. Miss Kreamer is highly pleased with the instruction and advan tages offered by California U. She feels that she has been strongly benefited by not only the course but by personal con tact with the master musicians of the west. Her course con sisted of high school music su pervision, history and apprecia tion and university chorus work. She was ats6 a voice pupil of the much heard of Arnold Wagner of Los Angeles. Miss Kreamer will return to Salem where she will again hold the splendid po sition of music supervisor of the Capital City schools.
