CANEMAH.
Canemah is so near Oregon City that

it looks as if it will adjourn .

fall last Tuesday night. He was on the

his side on the edge of a box. He is
confined to his bed, perhaps on account
of his see. ' We hope he will soon re
cover. The Southern Pacific must be fond of
cutting beefsteak lately, for another cow
was killed last Wednesday, which be
longed to Mr. Criteser. As it occured

FOR BATTLE SHIP OREGON.
Movement to Provide a Silver Servior
That Shall Reflect Credit oa
Our State
The new battle-ship Oregon, the great
est of the new American navy and one
of the most powerful war ships afloat.
is now receiving ber finishing touches
in California. It is customary for the
namesakes of Uncle Sam's vessel to
give some testimonial to the ship In
recognition of the honor and as an of
fering of good will and special interest.
This teutiuionial usually takes the form'
of silver service for the ship. It is de
sired that the state of Oregon shall not
be behind in the display of patriotism
and Btate pride and that this most
powerful engine of- war bearing the
name Jof our commonwealth shall be-
suitably t remembered. To this end
money is now being raised to pny for
a silver service to present to 'the battle
ship Oregon when she comes to, Portlacd
next July. :
Five thousand dollars is the sum
which the silver service will cost, and
this much less than any similar testi
monial has ever cost. Of course, Port
land people will provide the greater
share of this money. The other parts
of the state, however, are justly expect
ed to aid in the enterprise and to Ore
City the general committee looks for
$200 of the 5000. This seems a very
reasonable amount to be raised here and
the undersigned committee has under
taken to provide it. The sum is expect
ed to be made up of afreet number o'
small contributions from all sources.
The committee does not take up this
work simply with the idea of helping to
provide a handsome present for some
body. Projects of such nature are not
popular these times. It is the patriotic
aspect of the move that commands our
attention and efforts. The Oregon is a
match for any marine warrior of the
worU. Her career will be worth watch
ing. Every person who contributes to
the fund for the proposed testimonial,
be the sum great or small, will feel a
special and personal interest in the
great ship and her achievements. No
sordid considerations of profit and loss
will go with her for she is not a trader
of a merchantman; but the national
honor itnd glory, the cause of liberty
and humanly, the impulses of a great
and enlightened people will go with her
everywhere, it would be a difficult
matter to provide a more effective way
of promoting broad patriotism' of the'
concrete order that will appeal directly
to every indivi 'ual. The children es
pecially will learn lessons and establish
an interest in this connection that will
make them better citizens and more
intelligent observers of the world's
affairs.
