POSTOFFICE CHANGES
Several Important Improvements An
nounced by Postmaster Randall
From Lehar's comic opera "Gypsy
Love," which comes to the Ileilig
ThItre, Portland, for 4 nights be
ginning Sunday March 21, is one of
London's biggest hits. It is being pre
sented by George Edwards at Daly's
Theatre ni the . English metropolis,
with whom A. II. Woods, who is
sponsor for the American production,
is interested. Phyllis Partington, who
sings the prima donna role and Ar
thur Albro, the imported Russian ten
or, under contract to A. H. Woods,
and who will be heard at the Ileilig
Theatre, have been loaned to George
Edwards for the London Company in
the spring. "Gypsy Love" is credited
the biggest thing musically that the
famed author of the "Merry Widow"
and "The Count of Luxembourg" has
ever done, and the music is said to be
far abovo that of the average pro
duction of the kind. A cast and en
semble of one hundred with an aug
mented orchestra, will be employed
in the rendition of the Lehar London
and American success. A popular lad
ies' matinee will be given Wednes
day. The advance seat sale opens
Friday, Feb. 28. Address letters and
checks to W. T. Pangle, Manager
Ileilig Theatre, 11th & Morrison Sts.
On Tuesday of next week there will
be a change made at the Oregon City
postoffice, and Postmaster Randall,
who, with his excellent corps of as
sistants, who have been looking after
the public interest in delivering the
mail, have concocted a scheme, which
no doubt will be highly appreciated
by the hundreds of patrons. Mr. Ran
dall has arranged to have the gener
al delivery window open during the
day hereafter from 8:10 A. M. until
Held for Grand Jury.
. W. M. Allen and C. G. Kerr of Mol
alia have been held for the grand jury

forgery and passing worthless checks.
The charge is that he passed a forged
check on C. I. S. Stafford . on Main
street and attempted to pass them on
the Hob grocery Co. and the Seventh
Street meat market. . Boh men deny
their guilt.

increase bills as fast as they came to
him .Ho told the legislature that Mr.
Gill hail a bill in the senate that would
apportion salaries of all the counties.

ride the vetoes and tho boys get their
salary raises just the same.

ing you to come back.
"You say tho governor is likely to
veto a lot of these bills. If ho vetoes
bad ones he cannot bo condemned. For
myself, I don't caro what . ho docs
with the bills. He can eat them up if
he chooses. That is a matter for him
to decide." Senator Dimick.

was under the supervision of the
President President of the Rebekah

presided over by the chairman of Dis

rangements for the holding of the

upon, but will be later. At noon the
hospitable ladies of Gladstone invited

where a delicious banquet was in

and Homer Ilollowell, as usual proved
to be among the favorites on the pro
gramme, and were forced to respond
to encores to every selection rendered.
Mrs. Thomas Burke, whose charming
voice was well suited to the selections
she gave, responded to hearty encores.
Others who gave pleasing selections
were Pansy Oswald, Arlie and Mar

serve for the ensuing year are as
follows:
Chairman, Mrs. M. Martin, of Mil
waukee; vice-chairman, Mrs. A. F.

their interest they had taken and for
their hospitality, while they were
their guests.

One of the finest and most artistic
musicales ever given by local musi
cians, was that given under the direc
tion of Mrs. T. A. Burke at Gladstone
church last Thursday night. The af
fair was enthusiastically enjoyed by a
capacity house. Aside from the beau
tiful soprano solos of Mrs. Burke, the
duet number with Mrs. Nieta Barlow
Lawrence, and the quartette number,
the famuos "Sextette from Lucia,"
were features. Prof. Flechtner gave
two beautiful violin solos. Mr. Gar
land Halloweell appear twice on
the program in tenor solos. Miss
Sadye Ford was accompanist for the
evening, and played every numner in
a highly artistic manner.
The concert was a most artistic one
and so great was the success of the
musicians, that immediately after the
concluding number, they were asked
to give the concert in the Methodist
church of Oregon City at an early
date. Mrs. Burke, Mr. Hallowell and
Mr. Gault are pupils of Mrs. Law
rence of this city, and their singing
reflected much credit upon their instructor.
Play Great Success

to the limit Wednesday evening to
hear the Operetta, Phyllis, rendered
by the Choir of the Presbyterian
Church, assisted by other local talent
which was rendered in an exceedingly
pleasing manner, and which did great
credit to those in charge. The prin
cipals were cheered many times and
the farmer characters were excellent.
Between the acts V. Gault, of Glad
stone rendered the solo, "King of the
Winds." and was heartily encored to
which he responded. After the pro
gram the ladies of the church took the
actors to the church where refresh
ments were served them which they
enjoyed very much.
Mrs. May Greer, President of the
Rebekah Assembly, will pay un of
ficial visit to Willamette Kebekuh
Lodge No. 2. in Oregon City, Friday
evening February 28th. A programme
followed by refreshments will be
among the attractive features, as also
an address by Mrs. Greer.
The Forty Year Test.
An article must have exceptional
merit to survive for a period of forty
years. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was first offered to the public in
1872. From a small beginning it has
grown in favor and popularity until
it has attained a world wide reputat
ion. You will find nothing better for
a cough or cold. Try it and you will
understand why it is a favorite after
a epriod of more than forty years. It
not only gives relief it cures. For
