NEWS OF THE CITY

Creek, Molalla and Mount Angel.
Friday of this week ends the open
fnr duck shootine in Oreiron.
and the game warden will remember
it if you don't.
A. R. Doolittle of Powell River, B.
C, a former resident, has been in the
city this week visiting old friends.
He is on his way to Iowa, where he
will make his home.
The estate of R. M. C. Brown of
Mountain View, who died at Salem
last month, has been admitted to pro
bate. The estate is $3,800, left to
his wife, daughter and son.
The Moose order in this city is
rapidly growing and now has a mem
bership considerably over 400. It is
a popular organization and its mem
bers do many a -worthy act of assist
ance. The Congregational Church of
this city held its annual roll call
Thursday night of last week. A
business session was called, and after
this was finished, a social time was
enjoyed by the members.
You may go where you will but
you will never find a busier Mam
street than in this city, in propor
tion to size. Any time of day, rain
,or shine, the street is simply full of

latitude that can compare with h
western Oregon winter. Everything
is green (always is green,) carrots,
turnips, onions, cabbage, lettuce, cel
ery and radishes can bo gathered
daily from the gardens; the buds are
swelling and there has not been a
frost since Christmas.
We understand there is a move
ment under way to organize an ath
letic association in this city and qeuip
a first class gymnasium. It is a
movement that should go and will
go if properly taken hold of. A good
gymnasium is a heallh factory and no
city of this size should bo without
one. A largo enough class could be
easily organized hero to bo made
self sustaining at a small cost.
There are a few mild cases of
smallpox in this city, but tho people
no longer become excited over the
disease. It is much harder to enforce
quarantine than to cure, the cuses
and much more painful to endure vac
cination than small pox. Time was
once when the very name was dread
ed, but today it is considered less
fatal than whooping cough or meas
les, and the dread of quarantine is
worse than tho dread of the disease.

Thanks Returned
It is to be regretted that the firm
of Bannon & Co. did not appear on
the list of donaters to St. Agnes'
Baby Home for Christmas. It surely
was an oversight as the firm has al
ways been extremely kind to the lit
tle orphans in sending both clothing
and provisions and the Sisters are
deeply grateful for their generosity
on all occasions.
The Devil's Product the Tyrant
A tyrant is a creature who has no
respect for his fellow man, and is
close to the brute creature.
The spark of divine love comes
from God the eternal love. God gave
man dominion over beast, bird and
fish. Why make a slave out of
your fellow man?
God took the talent from each an
imal and fashioned man. Every
beast, every bird, every fish must
yield up its treasure to mankind.
Some time the devil breathes into
the nostrils of man and gets posses
sion of his soul. Beware of Bellze
bub with his instruments of evil.

Gladstone Odd Fellows Celebrate
Chautauqua Lodge I. O. O. F., kept
open house Friday evening when the
Odd Fellows of Gladstone and the;r
wives, daughters and sweethearts en
tertained in honor of Henry S. West
brook, Grand Warden, and E. E.
Sharron, Grand Secretary. The Miss
es McMillan furnished the musical
part of the program, Rev. R. A. Dunn
recited and the speakers for the even
ing were Henry S. Westbrook, E. E.
Sharron, William' Hammond and
Abraham Nelson. Wallace Caulkins
presided. At the conclusion of the
program refreshments were served
wherein embalmed cucumbers played
an important part, Abe Nelson, a new
resident of Gladstone and the only
single man in the crowd, being appro
priately dubbed "Pickles." Those
who know Abe hope the appelation
will stick.
Why Should We feed the Belgiums?
Twenty thousand million dollars
in "good" securities are held in the
United Kingdom mostly, I suppose,
in London. The interest on this at
5 percent would amount to 400 mil
lions a year. This interest is taxed
on the United States, Canada, Aus
tralia, Africa and other places where
English capital is invested.
The London and Paris bankers
started the war in Europe by lend
ing money to equip Russian armies
to invade Germany. This is indirect
ly admitted in an editorial in the
Sunday Oregonian of Dec. 20. The
allies then incited the foolish Bel
gians to fight the Germans while
they kept back in the rear. It was
like throwing a baby to a bear.
Aa a consequence 7,000,000 Bel
gians are starving. It will require
$5,000,000 a month barely to keep
them alive. Five dollars a month
for seven persons is barely enough.
The English bondholders collect over
thirty millions a month off their for
eign investments. The war was pull
ed off to increase this debt. Why
should not the London bankers feed
the Belgians out of the income from
this unholy debt? It would only take
a small part of it and outsiders pay
it anyhow. Why beg more money
from America on top of the interest
we are already paying them? Will
anyone be kind enough to explain?

then announced the institute to be

ing members to be present as far as

Mrs. Olmsted sang "It's a long

adjourned to meet in two weeks. A
full attendance is desired and a cor

Another murder has been commit-
ed in our state by a man under the

wife bereaved, another home made
desolate. One more evidence of how
the saloons rob and wreck, and kill

We hope and pray that unqualified
success may attend the efforts of the
"Drys" all along the line, and that
prohibitory laws may be enforced
everywhere.
"To day as never before, the spir
it of prohibition is in the air. The
aim of to-day s civilization is to pro
hibit or destroy any thng which is
dangerous to the life of the people.
"While we heartily approve of the
'do everything' policy of the W. C. T,
U., we recognize the fact that we
were organized to push total absti
nence and prohibition, and we reaf
firm our allegiance not only to these
principles, but also to the prohibition
party, as the only political party
with the courage to speak out bold
ly in favor of woman suffrage and
the total annihilation of the liquor
traffic."
