Georgia, daughter and grand
daughter of the junior proprietor of
this great moral prevaricator, ar
rived from Omaha Monday night
of this week. They lived in Hood
itiver Inst winter and the greater
part of the summer, and that was

that would satisfy them, and have
returned to make their home. Mr.
ynn will come as soon as he has
their affairs there in shape.

Sunday evening of this week
Fred Washburn and Ids sweetheart
of Portland, came over to see the
folks and to keep us from saying
anything about it they left a fine
brace of wild ducks at the residence
of the senior member of the Review
firm. Bert didn't do a thing but
invite the balance of the buuch up
to his home to help punish the
ducks. Well, if the balance of that
band of ducks had seen the way
those two were treated they would
lave quacked an encore that would
have been a delight to a disciple of
Eschylus. Come again Fred and
we'll never tell.
R. L. Burke and family, who
have been visitiug relatives at the
old home iu Douglass, Kansas, re
turned home Monday of this week.
They have had a fine time while
there and things look prosperous in
'Bleeding Kansas," but just the
same, they were glad to get back to
the modern Eden, Oregon. There
is nothing quite so good anywhere
in the world to one who has lived
here a few years. We are glad that
all the people of the East do not
know what it is here. There
would be such an exodus from
those old states that Oregon could
not hold half the people who would
come here.
Dr. Mary MacLachlan wishes to
announce that she is ready to meet
her old patrons at her office iu the
Holbrook Block.
Mrs. M. lu. Scott still has some

Mrs. C. M. McKinnie and her
daughter, Sarah, of Augusta, Kas.,
arc visitiug their daughter and
sister, Mrs. A. M. Essen, the
better part of our genial city re
corder. Madam Rumor has it that Drue-
gist Jackson is soon to take unto
himself a helpmeet and that he is
now preparing a cozy ncstingplace
on the comer of Baltimore and Phil
adelphia streets. Here's hoping
that the Madam may not be mis
taken.
Wc wish to call attention to the
article on the free library. Mrs.
T. T. Parker is doing a good work
there. She is denying herself of
nearly all the social enjoyments of
the city for the good of the people,
young and old. She cannot do it
all alone. Let our citizens make
it a point to assist her by reading
at least one book a week, l his is
an opportunity to secure good
reading none should miss.
His Honor, K. C. Couch, es
caped from the citic between
two days and is spending his time
these degenerate days somewhere
between here and the north pole.
If he catches Peary or some other
polar ,barc, he will present the
catch to the Portland zoo. The
mayor never asked us if he might
go, mid there is no telling what
trouble he will get into before he
gets back. Wc trust he will bring
back with him a buuch of Michi
ganders or Wolverines to make up
for the time he is absent.
The new building being erected
on North Jersey street by Ed F.
Day will be occupied when finished
by Leroy II. Smith with his real
estate office and Attorney II. I-,.
Collier with his law olTicc. These
gentlemen will have n fireproof
vault placed iu the building. A
fireproof vault inside a fireproof
building will sound pretty good to
the clients of these enterprising
gentlemen who may wish to leave
valuable documents iu their hands.
It speaks well for the business
qualifications of these young men
and we wish them the best of sue
cess in their new location. This
they will surely win if they follow
this line of progrcssivcuess iu all
of their transactions.

Mrs. E. I. Ballagh will return to
their old home at Ottumwa, Iowa,
to spend the holidays, but will
come back after that date and lo

Portland. They are delighted with
the country here and the oppor
Utilities, ure energetic progressive

the best here, as well a anywhere
they may cast their lot, and wc
trust they will be back here and
doing business again iu the spring.
Ex-Governor Fletcher returned
Wednesduy evening from his visit
to his old home in Prince Edwards
Island. Mr. Fletcher Kays he has
come back this time to stay. That
there is no place on the face of the
earth quite so good as Oregon, and
especially St. Johns. He had a
most delightful time with his old
friends, but they kept him very
busy delivering lectures all the
time he was there, delivering 10
during his visit. While crossing
the states Mr. Fletcher noted the
evidence of great prosperity every
where, but thought lie wotuu not
ive there under any consideration
because of this country being so far
ahead of the older states in point of
beauty and climate. It is the ver
dict of every jktsoii who has spent
enough time in Western Oregon or
Washington to become acmia uteel
with the delights of this section of
our country.
H. C. Hunter of the Portland
Manufacturing company, returned
this week from an extended trip
n the east, lasting about a mouth.
We gathered the information that
le had heeu from coast to coast and
from the great lakes to the gulf on
a business trip, and it might have
meant business to friend Hunter,
but there are dire rumors of a mat
rimonial mixup, fishing adventure
and other exploits which seems to
require some Sherlock Holmes work
on the part of the news fiend. Our
readers will want to keep their
weather eye on the "sasiety" col
umn to learn of Mr. Hunter's trip.
He goes the last of this week to
Gray's Harbor, Tacoma and other
Sound points, to be gone three or
four days. By the time he returns
we will most likely have our sleuth
work done.
