ENTERTAIN, THE OLD VETERANS.
It will be the good fortune of the
people of Oregon City to entertain
the surviving members of the Grand
Army of the Republic, together with
their wives, , when there will be held
:the annual encampment of the Grand
Army-organization in this city, June
20, 21 and 22, next. : It is certainly
creditable to the people of the city
and especially gratifying to the mem
bers of the committee that the funds
for the entertainment of these visit
ors are being so readily subscribed
The" ranks of pe old soldier are dim
inishing with each successive encamp
ment and it should be esteemed
Drivilege to in any way contribute
to- the comfort and happiness . of the
surviving members , during the clos
ing days of their lives. Let's provide
abundantly for the entertainment of
the old soldier and his faithful help
mate that the occasion .may always
prove one of pleasant memory to
them. - :

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Mrs. King was properly fined in the
local justice court last week for cruel
ty to animals. The mistreated horse
was ample evidence of the cruel and
torturing treatment to which he had
been subjected and Justice Stipp was
warranted in imposing the fine of $50.
But there are other instances of cruel
treatment of animals nearer home
than Eagle Creek and these instances
are equally deserving of punishment.
"Without mentioning names, there are
being worked in this, city several
head, of horses that are not capable
of performing the service that is re
quired of them. There is one particu
lar instance in which a horse, in fact
not more than a skeleton in appear
ance, is being worekd every day. Be
cause of lack of food and proper at
tention the poor animal can scarce
ly move, still its owner requires the
horse to work every day. The man
who neglects to properly care for so
faithful an animal as the horse should
be denied the right to keep or at least
to work the abused animal. " The pun
ishing of some local offenders would
have good results.
TWO NEW STATES.
Secretary Atkinson, of the Territory
of Hawaii, has pointed out how mat
ters stand in his- precinct -with" little
adjuncts which appeal particularly to
the imagination. - On a recent trip to
he made the statement
that Hawaii had to import all her
lumber now, but the school-children
are planting trees and the Japanese
were celebrating the fall of Port Ar
thur by setting out hedges and rows
of the finest trees. A trade which has
grown from the capacity of tifo ships
a month to the fulls employ of one
whole line and vessels of call three
times a week," is 1 justly characterized
as "increasing" - with the small sug
gestion that our present coastwise
law prohibiting an American from
coming hither from Hawaii on a ship
carrying any but "an American one Is
a "hardship." The harbor at ' Hon
olulu should be dredged to accommo
date this commerce, says the secre
tary, and points to President . Roose
velt's message on the subject. The
Territory is In good financial con
dition, the appropriations to June 30,
1905. are $1,900,000, and the estimated
income to that date is $2,400,000:
i Tr
LET'S FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE.
A movement has been inaugurated
at Albany to beautify the homes',
clean up the streets and put the City
in fine shape to receive the thousands
of Lewis & Clark visitors that will
pass through the valley this summer.
Railroads have granted stop-over
privileges which will be utilized by
all along the line. " ' Corvallis ' should
polish up for the occasion also, and
it is none too early to begin. Around
many homes, however, are evidences
that our citizens realize the import
ance or tne movement. ijorvams
Times. ,.
There is need for a similar cam
paign at Oregon .City. It should be
the more thorough, if anything, for
the reason that because of the con
venient location of Oregon City and
the Willaniette Falls to the Exposi
tion city, our city . will be visited by
a great many more people than will
the more distant points up the Valley.
The Senate on Wednesday passed a
bill admitting to Statehood the Terri
tories of Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory as one State under the name of
the former, and also New Mexico.
All mention of Arizona was' eliminated
from the measure in the form it pass
ed the Senate. The bill now goes to
a conference committee of the House
and Senate, and while it is generally
accepted as beyond cavil that Oklaho
ma will be made a State at this ses
sion of Congress, there is still some
doubt about New Mexico. A remark
able feature of the provisions for the
admission of Oklahoma is the prohi
bition of the sale of intoxicating liqu
ors there for a period of twenty-one
years. -The Territory of Arizona,
which is refused Statehood, has an
area of 114,000 square miles, or two
and a half times that of New York,
and the population compares favor
ably with that of many states when
they were admitted to the Union. It
is to be hoped that its plea for admis
sion win not oe rejected ror many
years loneer. The feelinsr in Arizona
is described, however, as not over
pessimistic, since the Territory is at
least relieved of the appalling possi
bility of being united to New Mexico,
and thus losing its identity. The chief
reason for the refusal of the Senate
to admit Arizona is evidently that
which has several times been alluded
to in these columns namely, the
East's fear of the loss of its present
dispropornate amount of political
power. The news dispatches give
Senator jBard the credit of having
secured the amendment to the bill
which admits New Mexico. Our rep
resentatives in Congress should not
be less active and determnied in their
be less active and determined in their
amendment by the conference com
mittee. '
o
A Their pay stopped .last Friday
so did Oregon's legislators.
The local option law is working
havoc-in Tillamook City. Previous to
the passage 6f the law, there were
in that locality three saloons which
contributed an annual income of$2,-
400 to the city treasury. The closing
of the saloons has left the community
with practically no revenue. The
common council has found it neces
sary to vote an "occupation tax" in
order that the expenses of the city
government might be maintained. Ac
cordingly any person or firm engaged
in any trade, calling for employment
within the corporate limits will be
required to obtain a license, the price
of which varies accordingly to the
importance or remunerative capacity
of the enterprise. The Herald pub
lishes the list in full which makes in
teresting reading. This new tax to
gether with the county tax of 42 mills
will "be quite burdensome 'upon Tilla
mook's business men. Exchange.
O
FOUR ARE DEPOSED.
Home talent entertainments
generally appreciated except. of
course, where the performances are
intolerably poor. But the Plantation
Minstrels, who are due at Shively's
Monday evening, promise to the peo
ple of Oregon City an entertaining
program of good music and clever
specialties, including a great many
laughable jokes and interesting local
sketches.
O
Oregon City Church Elders Ousted From
Office.
That discontent and antagonizism
still prevail in the ranks of the members
of the First Presbyterian Church, at
Oregon City, was evidenced yesterday af
ternoon; when the Portland Presbytery
deposed the four elders pf that organiza
tion, says Tuesday's Oregonian. The
meeting of the Presbytery was held at
the First Presbyterian Church, in this
city. A committee, consisting of Rev.
J. A. P. McGaw, D.D., Rev. D. A. Thomp
son and Elder John Bain, was appointed
by the Presbytery .to administer the
church until the regular Spring meeting,
which will be held April 3, Other ar
rangements will probably be made at
that time.
. The four elders of the Oregon City
Presbyterian church deposed were T. F.
Cow4ng, E. B. Anderson, Angus Mathe
son, and J. W. Warnock. They had been
requested to resign by the Home Mis
sion committee, appointed to invest!
gate their case. Their removal is the
direct result of a petition being presented
asking that the church at Oregon City
be taken charge of by the Presbytery.
The petition contained 63 names, a ma
jority of the members of the church.
There are only about 120 members of
the Presbyterian Church at Oregon City.
The removal of the four members of
the Oregon City Presbyterian Church is
the continuation of the excitement and
bitterness engendered by the resigna
tion of F. H. Mixsell from the pastorate
in October. He resigned with the seven
elders of the church, six of whom were
bitterly opposed to him. Mr. Matheson,
who was a friend of Rev. Mr. Mixsell,
was reelected with the three elders de
posed yesterday. It was claimed at the
beginning that the newly elected elders
were favorable to the reinstating ol
Rev. Mr. Mixsell. The animosity which
had been slumbering since the election of
the elders was brought to life by the
Rev. Mr. Mixsell preaching at the Presby
terian church at Oregon City on Febru
ary 18. He presided at the especial re
quest of the four elders of the church.
He had been called to Oregon City to
preach a funeral sermon.
This action precipitated a storm " of
disapproval against the four elders,
which they bitterly resisted. They claim
ed they had the right and authority
to invite Rev. Mr. Mixsell to conduct
services at the church. As he had been
called there by the death of a friend
it would be discourteous to not ask him
to preach. .
There was strong. opposition to Rev. J
Mr. Mixsell.. who has made repeated ef
forts to be recalled to the church, and
was thought by members that his
presiding was a ruse to have him rein
stated. Since then every possible effort
has been made to have the four elders
emoved.
The elders say the indignation prevail
ing against them as a result of their ac
tion is simply a pretext. They allege
that several members of the church are
desirous of controlling the affairs of the
organization, which they could not do as
long as the four elders presided. They
say that these several members' Influenc
ed the other members of the church to
such an extent that many of- them were
induced to sign the petition against
their own belief. .Whether the elders and
their supporters will let matters stand as
they are without withdrawing from the
church is not known. The statement
has been made by an influential -member
of the church that the 63 petitioners
would have withdrawn if they had not
received this recognition.
Rev. Mr. Landsborough, the new min
ister at the Oregon City church,' was
received by the Presbytery yesterday.
He has preached two sermons at Oregon
City and has given perfect satisfaction.
Both of the dissenting factions in the
church are unanimous in his praise.

years, an Inauguration Ball will be

O I
Senator Brownell announces in an
interview . that he has quit politics
and will go to Portland and open
up a law office. He also declares he '
will not be a candidate to succeed
himself as State Senator from Clack
amas county.
The action of the Willamette Presby
tery in executive session at Portland in
relieving from further service the mem
bers of the board of elders of the First
a" I with the indorsement nf the larsre ma
jority of the membership of the Oregon
City congregation for the reason that it
is calculated to effect a re-organization
of the church on a satisfactory ' basis.
Another managing board will likely not
be elected until i the Fall, the affairs of
the church in the meantime being vested
in a committee appointed by the Presby
tery. .Rev. Landsborough, the new pas
tor, is liked by the congregation and it
is believed that under his leadership
the unpleasantness that unnecessarily
interfered with theh local congregation
will entirely disappear, permitting the
church to resume its active and helpful
services in this community.
The cities ' of the "Pacific Northwest,
the great territory which was won for
the United States by the expedition of
Lewis and Clark, will be asked to send
delegates to the great civic's conference,
which will be held during the latter part
of August. Dr. Edgar P. Hill of Port
land is now in the East arranging for
distinguished speakers on subejcts con
nected with municipal reform who will
address the gathering. The details of
the conference will be left to the dele
gates. It is expected that a league of
Northwest cities will be formed for the
mutual benefit of the cities joining such
a league.
Subejcts of timely interest have been
chosen for the conference, and the dis
cussion will be along, practical lines.
"How to Fight Corruption in Cities" will
occupy the attention of the delegates
for several days. "Social Betterment
Work in Cities" is another topic which
will include the suppression of vice and
the matter of dealing . with the liquor
traffic. "Municipal Improvements" will
be a third topic, and the discussions un
der this head will include such practical
subejcts as sewers, streets, water plants,
light supply and sewage disposal.

Women as Well as Men Are Made
Miserable by Kidney and
Bladder Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessens ambition ; beauty,
vigor and cheerful
ness soon disappear
when the kidneys are
out of order or dis-'
eased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncom
mon for a child to be
born afflicted with
weak kidneys. If the
child urinates too often , if the urine scalds
the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet-tine,
depend upon it, the cause of the diffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser
able with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamo-Root is soon realized. It is sold
by druggists, in fifty
