THAT IS THE QUESTION THAT AGI TATFS THE COUNCIL. The South End Road Provokes a ' Lively Discussion. The meeting of the Council Monday night was enlivened by a pretty hot hot discussion on the south end road. Those who are in favor of building ihe road and those who are opposed to the improve ment were all present, and the matter was discussed in all of its features. Some pretty warm talks were made for and against. The Council itself is divided upon the matter, but evideutly a major ity of the members are in favor of the road and will appropriate the money when the time comes. The Southern Pacific has agreed to assist in building the road provided no grade crossing is made. In order to get a more definite idea of the cost of the improvement and to learn exactly what the cost of the road will be the entire matter was laid over until the next regular June meet ing of the Council. The regular monthly bills were al. lowed and routine business transacted. Republican Speaking. Binger Herman Republican candidate for Congress will address the voters of Oregon City on Thursday evening May 14th, in the interest of his candidacy for Congress.

He Is Popnlar In the Republicans Stronghold-. Conducting an Energetic Campaign. Eugene. May 4. The visit of A. E. Reames to Eugene was an occasion of more than ordinary interest both to the residents of the city and to the , candi date for Congress. k Eugene isx Mr. Reames' old college town. Years ago Reames was president of the University Democratic club anrt that organization is still recalled as an organization of great influence in the Bryan and other hot campaigns. Scores of old friends, many of there prominent 'younit Republicans, greeteu the popular candidate in his visit about the city Saturday. Mr. Reames is peisonally a popular man in this sjrontrholj of the Republ cans and it is predicted that he will make a much larger showing than the Herinano forces. . IS ENCOURAGED ' a$an interview with The Journal rep resentative Mr. Reames said of bis ex peritinces in tbe preliminary part of the campaign : "I am more than pleased with tbe re ception which is being accorded me wherever I stop on this trip. At every point I am shown that there are dozens and scores of voters who are going to do the right thing by me at the coming election. The thing that encourages me most is the way the young Republicans are assuring me of their support. Of course this district is normally Republi can by a large majority. This condi tion of things has to be overcome, but we are doing it I can safely say, gradu ally and surely. The fact is that we are conducting an asu'eisBive campaign and the opposition is on the constant deiense ever employed in denying allegations and statements of Democratic voters and alwavs trying to patch up the old wagon so that it will carry without a wreck through the next election.' "Tbe old wagon will not be safe" laughed the energetic young campaigner "if they persist in loading it down with their denials. There won't be any room for voters in June to ride there. "We have an excellent organization in the field and it is doing yoeman ser vice. Our men are loyal and not half hearted. The yonuir Republicans are quietly working and evidences say that dissatisfied men who have voted straight old Republican politic for years will stay at borne on the eventful day that means a half a vote for me, yon under stand. Yes, I really think that there will be 9 number of these. THE ITINERARY. This afternoon Mr. Reamea speaks at North Yamhill, going to McMinnville for an evening meeting. Tuesday afternoon, May 5, be will be in Independence and will speak at Mon mouth in the evening. Wednesday, May 6, he spends at Dal las. Thursday, May 7, will be taken up at Toledo. Friday, May 8, in company with J, E. Lathrop, assistant secretary, be will visit and address Philomath college. Saturday May 9, will be at Corvallis with the voters and an address by Mr. Reames will be the feature of an evening meeting. The furthet itinerary will be arranged this week. 1 CHURCH AND SCHOOL ITEMS OF INTEREST GATHERED FROM THE WAYSIDE. Teachers and Preachers Who Are Working In the Vineyard The entertainment given by the Y. P. 8. C. E of the Presbyterian church at Shiveleys opera house on last Friday eveniDg was a decided suqcesa in more ways than one. Theprogramme render ed was an excellent one and worthy of the occasion. Those who participated in the evenings exercises were: Mrs. Kate Ward Pope, Miss Grace Marshall, Mrs. W. E. Scott, Misses May Mark, Kate Mark, Echo Samson, Marion Law rence Bessie Grant, Ethel Cheney, Retta Pierce, Eunice DonaIdsoa,Mary Gilbert, Ve. a Williams, Gna Renner, Gertrude Faircloogh, Eleanor Williams, Alvena Hern, Bessie Hamilton, Mrs. Matheson, Prof. Edgar Faulk.

The Upper River to Be Stocked By Its Construction. The upper Willamette and its tribu tary rivers and streams are to be stocked with Chinook salmon bv the construction of a fishway around tbe tails in thiscitv. nan warden Van Dusen has been in the city looking into the matter The en terprise will coat Borne $5,1 00.00. It is now the purpose to construct a trench across tbe rocky island that projects irum me inns 10 a point Deiow tne Wil lamette Paper mill, by which the sal mon can make the run up and around tbe fulls. A chinook salmon can climb anything except a ladder. A few cf them every season get over the falls without any assista"ce from any artifi cial help. Twice before the sta'e has attempted to bu-id a fish way and each time, after spending some thousands of dollars, the work has proven a failure and the-fish way bas gone "on its way" down to the sea. It is to be hoped that this time the work will be better done and that it will be successful. It is to be hoped that more care will be taken to keep the water of the beautiful Wil lamette from being contaminated with saw-dust and .efuBe from mills, factories and contiguous works so that tbe fish of the Willamette and its tributaries will be preserved to the generations yet un- Dorn. SIXTY YEARS OLD IS, CIVIL GOVERNMENT ON THE PACIFIC COAST. The Anniversary Celebrated at Champoeg With Elaborate Cremoney. Tbe founding of civil government on this coast and the substantial dedication of all the Oregon country to American rule was fittingly celebrated at Cnauipoeg on last Saturday. It was just sixty yiai s when a hardy little band of pioiiees , ong whom there ere many subjects he British flag met at this self uaui ; nt and established tbe first civil uvernment in this part of the world and they also determined in their soverin capacity that this country with all of its possibilities and its limitless extent should forever become tbe property of the United States. The British at that time were exercis ing dominion over a great part of it practically through the... Hudson Bay Company claiming all ot its vast reaches of mountain and plain. A magnificent marble shaft bas been set up to mark the place where this crowd of early pio neers met to make history and preserve a land ot promise to their, children for all time under the stars and stripes. Only one person who helped to form the provisional territory of the territory of Oregon is alive to day and he is so enfeabled by age and disease that he was not able to be present at this time.

Miller, Frank Davey. of Salem, was tbe principal speaker, and ex-Governor Geer presided. Ii wag a source of regret that F. X.

Robert Currin, of Ourrinsville, met with an experience on his way home last Saturday evening that he does not wisti to repeat. He bad hauled a load of hay to the railroad camp and as be was quietly pursuing bis homeward journey a highwayman stepped from the bushes and prese ted a pistol at (be unsuspecting and unarmei farmer and demanded his money. Mr. Currin only bad $15 with him, the sale price of bis load of ha, this be reluctantly turned over to tbe man "behind the gun" who side stepped into the brush and dis appeared.
