A aolden Wedding Anniversary.
Years ago W. P. Burns, father of
Chief of Police Burns, resided in Ore
gon City and conducted a wagon shop.
Afterward he was Bheriff of Clackamas
county foi eight years, and later re
moved to Portland. The funday Ore
gonian gives the following account of
the golden wedding :
The 50th wedding anniversary of Mr.
and Mrs. William P. Burns, pioneers of
1852. was appropriately celebrated at
their home, 187 Sixth street, Wednes-
nesday evening, by a party of relatives
and intimate friends. A sumptous
wedding feast was served under the
ministrations of a daughter, Mrs. Ful
ler, and a granddaughter, Mrs. W. 0.
Barnes, and then there were singing
and playing in the parlor, and numer-
erous letters of conbratulation from
distant relatives were read, and listened
to with great interest. The rooms were
tastefully decorated with smilax and
cut flowers. A number of presents
were bestowed on the honored couple.
William P. Burns and Millicent A.
Oonyers were married in Quincy, 111.,
half a century ago by Rev. Horatio
Foole, who long since passed to his re
ward. iShe was the daughter of Wil
liam Onnyers, once mayor, and ah hon
ored c itizen of the town, and her hus
band was son of John Burns, another
prominent citizen of the same city.
Crossing the plains with an ox team,
they located in Oregon City, where they
lived many years, and then came to
make their home in Portland. For 6
years Mr. Burns has been a popular
mail agent between Portland and Asto
ria. The two children of Mr. and Mrs.
Burns are Mrs. Laura Fuller, of Port
land, and Charles E. Burns, of Oregon
City.

I Ins law secures to the policy holder a definite contract ol insurance.
In case of the non-payment of any premium alter the second vear
whether such Iap8e of payment bo intentional or accidental', the

In many iiiHtancea the pajil up value allowed hy this law is more

This law itmoves the f hit-ctiun ho olien laised against life insnr.
