showing us up a little. Our Association
has already done a good deal for every
employee of the State and can confi
dently promise a continuation of its
good work. It deserves the active sup

ROSEBURG .CHAPTER No. 2
A good time was had by all who
attended the annual picnic of the Rose
burg Chapter. Geo. Householder beat
all contenders at pitching horseshoes
and is still champion. Anyone desiring
to take his title away from him should
attend our next picnic.
Mr. J. C. Chapman has been coming
to work the last few mornings rather
sleepy-eyed. It seems that the new ar
rival at their home (a big boy) has
been disturbing his sleep.
A number of our members spent a
very enjoyable and enlightening eve
ning with the Crater Lake Chapter
August 27. Forrest Stewart gave a very
nice talk after which refreshments
were served.
Does anyone know how to catch
fish in the upper Rogue? If so will they
please send their recipe to Geo. Baker?
