Charles Kingsley. Th past week brought forth lovers of various amusements and the entire town seemed all astir with something. If the "movie" man had been on C street with his camera last Fri day afternoon he might have landed a good film for "The man with the hoe" wa3 not a man at all but a woman and not only one woman but a half dozen women. Dorothy Cooper, of Indepen dence, fiancee of Lieutenant Parker, was entertained at the post on Wednesday with Mrs. Ireland and Katherine Therkel sen, of Portland, by Mrs. Ruth erford Hartz.

The hours were spent in plying the needle and in social converse after which the hostess served a splendid luncheon. . WEDNESDAY AF1EKN0ON CLUB Mrs. 0. A. Kreamer was host ess to the Wednesday Afternoon Club last week. Her pretty home on Fifth street was further enhanced by a profusion of spring flowers. The members of this club devote their hours to dainty needle work. Among the assemblage of ladies there was almost a draw as to which they could use most doxtreusly, their needles or tongues. The after noon passed most pleasantly and to top off the pleasure, the host ess, assisted by her daughter, Miss Gretchrn, served a most de licious two course luncheon, fa voring each guest with a pink rose. The guests aside from the members that were present were: Mesdames Richardson, Girard, Hayes, Hooper, and Irvine. CIVIC IMPROVEMENT CLUB The members of the C. I. C. Club have been combining their enthusiastic plans for beautifying with some real substantia! fea tures of last week, for after "Good Roads Day," the men, all tired out, returned to th parloM of the M. E. church, where the C. I. C. ladies were in waiting with a mirthful greeting and a splendid repast Very soon the men were practising the poetry of motion from the hand to the mouth and the way they con sumed the food was " very grati fying to tht ladies. Last Saturday afternoon found a good attendance at their regu lar business meeting. Nothing of special importance wa3 brought before the house with the excep tion that the committee on beau tifying the City Park was author ized to confer with the city coun cil in regard to the lighting sys tem for the park. THE WHY OF THK HOBBLE SKIRT It was a rule among the tribes of Indians that made up the "Six Choice Wedding Stationery The Monitor Has It. THE HOME GROCERY SPECIALIST Main lOIl Nations" for a young brave, when convinced that a certain mahala was the one he wanted, to arm himself with a big stick, take after that mahala and if he overtook her give her a tap be hind the'rkht ear with the stick. This constituted the marriage ceremony. The speed 6f the squaw was regulated by her feel ings toward the brave. If fond of him the chase was a short one; so the length of the race was in truth the measure of the maha la's affections for her pursuer. Either through heredity or an in stinct that obsessed her lady who evolved the latest fashion for young ladies' dresses must have been influenced. With the skirts so close about the ankles, she must have reasoned that no long race would be possible, and may be that is the way she wanted it. Some one on her trail may have gotten cold f eet G o o d w i n Weekly. NEW MUSICAL CLUB ORGANIZED Another addition has been made to the labyrinth of clubs in the city. Wednesday after noon Mrs. J. G.

The public will wait with great anxiety to hear the first efforts of the nawly organ ized club, the entire chons will consist of about twenty-five voices. The following ladies were present at the initial meet ing at the home of Mrs. Mcin tosh; Mesdames Kreamer, Rich ardson.

WILTSE "GIVEN FAREWELL" Mrs. Wiltse, who has arrange ments completed to leave for Canada where she will join her husband in his new location, was the inspiration for a going away party last Wednesday evening, given by the members of the W. C. T. U. at the Methodist church. Mrs. Wiltse has been an en thusiastic worker and her going away is a source of regret to a large circle of f riends. A course luncheon of cream and cake was served and the company lingered long at the table, each express ing many parting good wishes to the guest of honor.

JUDGE GRANT 8- DIM1GK Republican Candidate For Governor of Oregon To the Legal Voters of Oregon: I have filed my declaration wilh the Secretary of State as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Govern or, and as tha law limits the expendi ture of each candidate for this oltice to 15 per cent of one year's salary, I am compelled in order to abide by t.e spirit and letter of the law to avoid m :king an exiensive campaign and in order to reach the voters whom I will not be able to meet in person I here with submit through the press for your consideration the following: First-1 stand for a strict and rii'iii enforcement of every criminal statute. Second I favor equitable labor laws giving to the laborer just consideration. Third I am opposed to high and ex travagant legislative appropriations and the constant creation of salaried boards and commissions which carr. with them a.i army ot employes to be paid by the taxpayers of the state. Fourth-I stand for the const mt im provement of our public gi l ool system fn.e from extravagance, and should the Supreme Court of the United States doclare a forfeiture of the lahd. now heldbytheOregi.il & California Kailroad I otnpany, then mid in that event I favor uiniiig Congress to place those landa at the disposal of the irre ducible state school fund of Oregon. Fifth 1 stand for the permanent improvement of the public roads fiom the market centers into the gri-ultu- ral districts, the s.mie to be built under skilled management, so as to get full value for the money expended. Sixth-! favor a constitutions amendment allowing the Governor to veto any one or mo e items in any ap propriation measure without vetoing the entire measure. High tax levies are usually the re sult of excessive appropriations and exoerimental legislation, and the most effective cure for that abuse is to bt more careful in the selection of your legislative members.
