factors. No noise. No breaks. No friction caused by exposed driving
parts. No attention necessary. "You buy the wheel the Columbia
Chainless does the rest." Not an hour of time taken to keep the Chainless
in order for a year. More durable. More handsome in appearance. Less
expensive "in the end." Absolutely satisfactory under all conditions of
use. The Columbia Chainless stands tonay as the greatest achievement of

address, referring to the work of woman

Past Department Commander Mrs.
Lounsbury was the next ,'epeaker called
upon. Mrs. Lounsbury is secretary of
the Portland Emergency Corps, and gave
an interesting history of the work done

common purpose. Mrs. Smith, of Sum

told of the work dene by the ladies of
Oregon Oity, and were heartily compli
mented by the Portland viaitors.
Mrs. Lounsbury, then stated that it
was impracticable to send trained
nurses to the fmnt, as it had been as
certained that the National Red Cross
Society had absolute control of the
hospital work within the army lines, and
that they had seriously considered the
matter of making the Emergency Corps
auxiliary to the Red Cross Society.
Refreshments were served and a
delightful social time was had.

On last Saturday morning when the
steamer Pomona was making the trip
up from Portland. Captain Spawn dis
covered the tody of a man floating in
the river near Risley's landing. The
remains were badly decayed, but the
captain made the body fast, and when
he reached Oregon City notified Coro

the fifth annual assembly of the Wil
lamette Valley Chautauqua has, thus
far, been a splendid success. These an
nual gathering are of greater impor

aware of. The Association Bhould be
encouraged in every way possibie. It
deserves it. Portland Chronicle.
The closing concert of the Chautau
qua Assembly Saturday night, was
given under the direction of Dr. R. A.
Heritage, and surpassed any musical
program previously presented. Gilbert
L. Hedges, also repeated his famous
prize oration, "The Debt of Virginia
to Jefferson." After special music by
the Chemawa band and Parson's or
chestra, Miss Lelo Nieklin, of Salem,
played a violin solo, and responded to
an encore. The Oregon City Ladies'
quartet sang, and responded to un en
thusiastic encore. Miss Ella Hobergi
sang the "Star Spangled Banner," and
responded to the encore with "Flag of
Our Ancestors." The attendance was
very large, exceeding that of any pre
vious evening, and the great display of
fireworks was an appropriate ending of
patriotic day and a successful assem-
Last Thursday was "Recognition" or
Chautauqua Day, and the graduating

Taken as a whole, the program was
the best that has been given since the
second assembly, although an orcasr
ional visitor, might not recognize that
fact.
The educational features surpassed
&ny former assembly, and it is regretted
that it went behind financially, yet this
amount will be readily recovered next
year. The rainy days are what caused
the shortage.
The sports were an attractive part of
the program, and attracted lots of peo
ple, but the races were too ruur.ti one
sided. Ringler, the manager, whooped
it up all the time for his own crowd.
When their crack harket ball team beat
a team of Oregon Oity "kids," he had a
Telegram reporter Bpace out the victory
to the extent of an eighth of .a column.
Ringler's team wouldn't play ball with
the Oregon City team on the last day,
and his crowd nicknamed ttiem "all na
tions." Wolffe. who won so many bi
cycle prizes, is said by many Portland
people, to be a professional.

Folk In general are not nowaaayi bu
careful as they were years ago In the
matter of affixing postage stamps to
letters and receipt stamps npon bills,
and many never note whether the
stamps are the right way tip or upside
down. It was very different, howover,
before the run b and roar of this half of
the century began, for it was next door
to a crime, in the eyes of many, to affix
a stamp with the queen 'a bead the
wrong way up. Many were not only
under the impression that her majesty
would "feel offended," but that if she
took the matter up personally or told
officials to act punishment could fol
low. There are still, however, many
people who look with horror upon a
postage stamp upside down. Notes and
Queries.
