Such, however, is not the case, hut Mr. Geer, whose pub lic record needs no commentary, is before the people and his thousands of friends will work for him during the campaign. i We are very sorry to note the failure of I he city park bonds to carry. Wc arc sure if our people knew what n city park means to the weary mill worker, the tired housewife, the invalid: when these individuals can get a Holiday or an idle hour for recreation, when they can go out on the cliff under the simile of the great firs and rest in hammock or settee mid watch the craft plying upon the river or see the big city up the Willamette or the birds in the trees ova head and over the river, while they rest from their toil or rectipeinte fiom the ill effects of disease, and If they could be made to icali.e that all this can be obtained ut 11 small cost to the entire city now, that a few years hence will cost many times ns much if it can be obtained nt any price, we believe the vote would be different than the one just made. We believe If this .shall be presented proiierly to the jieoplc mid an opportunity given them to vote on the bonds they would carry.and we hoje those most in terested will present the matter again in June. C. N. McArthur is it candidate for nomination for joint represen tative before the republican prima ries of Multnomah mid Clackamas counties. He lias for his platform: "If I nm nominated and elected 1 will, during my term of oilice, sup port a sane, businesslike adminis tration of public affairs. I will op pose graft, humbug, and demagog ism, and will work industriously for the tieople of my district, I will do my duty as I see it and will take dictation from 110 man or set of men." All of which sounds good and commands our admiration, but unfortunately lie puts in loud letters below the foreiroiiur portion of his kAAAif a a a a. r WWW W WWW W !

WE HAVE LESS EXPENSES than any other firm of our size. That's the reason we sell for less. that the city has a 3o-days test of machines in order to satisfy them selves that they are all right. If we were inclined to criticise the action of the council we would say that an 8 or io-ton roller we think would be more suitable for our class of work, but as the ma chines are to work to the satisfac tion of the council the smaller one may then be secured in exchange for this one at only the expense of taking this one to the station for rcshipment, and this expense will likely be more than covered by the work done in the testing, as it can go to the station on its own wheels.

W. A. Hall Saturday even ing which was a very successful ainur. The liall was well rilled with the knights and their friends and the air was blue witli the hazy clouds from the fragrant Ilavauas. jitatc lomuiamicr aiicrwooti was present and took charge of the meeting and while the boys en joyed the smokers he engineered a very entertaining program. He told something of the growth of the Maccabees and their admirable system of protective insurance. A new feature is their sick and acci dent department fund iu Mttltno- man county which is for residents n the county only. Mr. Sherwood utroduced each speaker and the several singers as follows: mother Coffyn favored the bov with a couple of good songs and was followed by Sir Kuicht Hiuc with a fine number on the piano ue was loiioweu Dy Hon.

Wc do not think there was a man or woman in attendance at the entertainment of the visiting lodges of Odd Fellows last Monday night who will not concede that it was a little the best event of the kind ever pulled off in the city, and right at the beginning wc wish to state that about four thirds of the success of the event was due to the energy, the ability, and the good nature of the Rebekahs. These good ladies baked and made all kinds of good things and scut them to the M. W. A. hall then came there themselves, spread the tables and prepared such a feast as has never been placed before a gather ing of any of the fraternal societies in this city, wc feel vcrv safe in saying. It was not a lunch, it was a real dinner and as fine n one as you would get at Hotel Portland. It is not at all surnrls tic that the eminent attorney of Vancouver wno visited with his lodco was moved to eulogize the Rebekahs iu the way he did. For a quarter of an hour or more he lauded the praises of the best part of Odd Fel lowship and declared over and over again that the hand that spanks the baby rules the world. The visitors all gathered iu the hall and the initiatory work was put on, two husky victims belnir I put through their paces. Then all repaired to the M. W. A. hall where the blessed cirls had the feast prepared wc have lust men. tioiied. After the guests and the home members had partaken to satiety Moiiahau the Great called out the speakers, Rev.
