JENNINGS LODGE DOINGS
By Our Special Correspondent
A petition is being circulated for a
Ave cent car fare from the Lodge to
Oregon City which if granted would
help this place. Our straight f ire
to Portland is !!0c, and 10c to Oregon
City making a discrimination of 6c
against our station. Meldrum whin
is only a few blocks away lias the
same rate to Portland and a five-cent
tare to Oregon City, and for this rea
son most of our people buy their Port
lund I intuit, hooks rpftdiiitf from Mel-
dram, and in going to Oregon City
niuety-tlve per cent or our people
walk to Meldrum and get off there
mi their return, as they feel that this
live cents for a few blocks is unjust,
and because of these conditions our
people are causod inneh inconvenience
and we feel justified in getting up the
petition for the live cent rate. We
are platting our acreage into lots and
some of" os are doing all we can to
boost our locality and increase our
population and we realize that a five
cent fare to Oregon City would make
it practical for Oregon City people,
as a number of employees of the
various mills could afford to buy lots
and reside here and it would enhance
the value of our property aud rapidly
inorease the population.
Miss Nollie Rice of Mt. Tabor was
a caller at the Lodge on Tuesday.
The New England supper which was
hold at the Grace 01 apol on Tuesday
evening was well attended, iu spito
of the inclemency of the weather, and
about seventeen dollars was cleared
and will be usod to purchaso song
books for the Sunday school.
Mr. aud Mrs. Allen Brown have
sold their pretty little borne on tie
Willamette to Mr. aud Mrs. Piorco of
Portland. Mr. Brown will go to De
troit, Michigan on a business trip
which will keep him iu the East for
some mouths und Mrs. Brown and
Master 'Allen and Miss Sybil will do
Dart iu a few days for an extended
visit iu California,, speuding about
three mouths at Los Angeles. While
we deplore the loss of this highly ro
Bpected.familyjrom the Lodge, .where
Mrs. Brown has taken an active part
in club work aud beinu; an elocution
ist of some noto, has appeared before
the people at tho Lodge and Oregon
City a number of times and delighted
her hearers very much. Their many
friends will wibIi that Master Allen
may rapidly gain bis hoalth while iu

Church
Sun. lay morning revival meetings
wore oouiiuenoed at the Methodist
Episcopal church in this city. Iiev.
it. S. Marshel, a noted evangelist, bus
charge of the meetings which will be
continued for an indefinite period.
Sunday morning's meeting was very
largely attended and the preachnr
warmed up to his subject in au unus
ually good manner and sermonized his
congregation to "Go out in the high
ways aud by-hedges, aud bring them
in that the house may be fall." He
wave a practical aud enthusiastic talk
and stated that the people mast work.
" God can do nothing alone, he must .
bavo instruments, and we are his in
struments ; he. works through os. A
carpenter may have brains and
strength to build a house, but he
could not complete his task without
tools. God is helpless to bring about
salvation to the world without our
assistance. God will call you, and if
you don't get a call from God, you
don't count.
"I find it is one thing to preach the
gospel," saith the preacher, "and
another thing to practioe what you
preach. Live a Godly life not only on
Sunday, but Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, etc., iu the store, office,
schoolroom and kitchen. If you do
anyone an injustice, ask their forgive
ness, hum Die yourself. Home people
are too stilJ-uookoil to do this.
" What we all most need is earnest
prayer and supplication, confess your
sius, make yourself right with God
und you will be happy. God laid
down his life for us. ,',Ve should be
willing to sanrittceniaou for him." x
Rev. Marshel is ail earnest aud ablj
speaker and will hold revival meet
ings iu Oregon City for an indefinite
time. It is hoped that the church
will be well filled at eaoU meeting.
Huv. Marshel will be assisted by the
local pastor, Rev. K. O. Blackwell.

Game at Canemah Park Sun
day Resulted in Victory of
I7to0
In a hotly contested game at Ca
nemah Bark tiuuday afternoon the
Oregon City team played their first
gamo of the season, and won it, de
feating the fast Kobinson Clothing
Company of Portland by a soore of 17
to 0. From the start, the local play
ers demonstrated their superiority in
all stages, and although the clothiers
played a good consistent game, they
wore greatly oatolassed. All three of
the touchdowns were made by Long,
the hard hacking local fullback. Two
goals were kicked by Hoos. The
showing made by the local team, con
sidering the fact that they have had
no coach, wus remarkable, and with
proper discipline, there is no reason
why they should not defeat any team
of their weight. Manager Bob Kruger
is iu communication with several
classy teams throughout thestate, and
local football funs are promised some'
good games.
A dance is to be given in the near
future by the members of the team.
