PRETTY ROSE DISPLAY
Decorations Profuse and Handsome
W. R. C. Ladies Take Prominent
Part in Decorations and in
Making Program.
It was a glorious day that greeted
the G. A. R. boys ami ladles of the
W. R. C. as they marched forth to
decorate the graves of comrades gone
on before, in Oregon City and vicin
ity. Scarcely a cloud was to bo seen
and the sun shone forth in all his
brilliancy. Add to this fact the pro
fusion of roses and other blooming
flowers that nature had prepared in
anticipation of that event and one can
easily see that the day could not but
be a great success.
Promptly at the hour of ten the
procession of old soldiers on foot and
W. R. C. ladies In hacks moved for
ward for the occasion, marching up
Main street from Willamette Hall to
Seventh street and out that thorough
fare to Shively opera house, where
the program for the day was carried
to a happy conclusion.
The Shively opera house, where the
program was given, was filled with
an attentive and appreciative audi
ence. The decorations of the Amer
ican flag, with garlands of roses and
ferns, was artistically arranged and
the stage presented a beautiful ef
fect. The front tier of seats were
reserved for the Grand Army of the
Republic and the Women's Relief
Corps, who marched in and took their
places after the remainder of the
audience were seated.
J. C. Sawyer, commander of Meade
Post, No. 2, opened the program at 11
o'clock. George A. Harding made
the formal announcements. The first
selection music by the Columbia
band of Oswego was a medley con
taining all the popular patriotic airs.
Following the music Rev. E. Clar
ence Oakley of the First Congrega
tional church led in repeating the
Lord's prayer and offered the invoca
tion. Commander J. C. Sawyer made
a short address, when Mrs. Imogen
Harding Brodie sang with sincere
feeling, "The Star Spangled Banner."
Mrs. PearlGregory Cartlidge gave the
reading of James Whiteomb Riley's
"The Silent Victors" in a manner
that made the story very real.
The oration of the day was deliver
ed by J. J. Walters of Portland who
spoke in a clear and forceful way in
honor of the brave defenders of the
flag. He asked that this be wholly
a soldiers' day and that the graves of
other departed loved ones be decked
with flowers on other days, that Dec
oration day may be given up entirely
to the remembrance of those who
fought and died for American liberty.
He said Decoration day is becoming
more and more observed. At the
close of the program Mrs. Brodie sang
"Taps."
From the exercises at the Shively
the line of march was again taken up
and the ritualistic ceremonies of the
G. A. R. and the W. R. C. concluded
at Mountain View cemetery.
The Eastham school formed at Cen
tral park, meeting the Barclay and
Catholic schools at 10th street where
they joined the procession to Wil
lamette hall headed by Marshal of
the Day, Captain Franklin A. Lomis,
Chief of Staff L. L. Pickens and the
mascot of Separate Company G.,Kent
Moody. There were a larger number
of school children in the parade
Thursday than ever marched before.
It is noticeable if one contrasts
this Decoration day with that of a
dozen years ago how fast the ranks
ot the "Boys in Blue" are thinning
out, and how those who remain are
fast advancing In years, nnd the step,
as the old soldiers march forward, Is
not so elastic as a short dozen years
ago. But the enthusiasm of those
who yet remain makes up in part for
what is lost by decreasing numbers,
bo that we have today, in the old G.
A. R. boys of America, one of the most
loyal organizations in the world.
Dinner was served to old veterans
and friends at Willamette hall at 2
p. m. The spread was under the sup
ervision of the ladies of the W. R. C.
and many visitors joined the ranks
of the G. A. R. on that occasion. The
hail was decorated profusely.
LEAVES PURSE IN STORE.
Mrs. W. D. Lewis, who laid her
purse on a table in the store of George
II. Young, Monday, did not miss Its
loss until the next morning. Some
one carelessly covered it with news
papers and It lay on the table un
noticed until Tuesday, when Mr.
Young uncovered it while cleaning up
his store. The purse contained J7.S0,
and was returned to its owner, Tuesday.
Teachers Go to Holly Farm.
The teachers of the Eastham school
will go Tuesday evnnlng to Mllwau
kle Heights to visit a follow teacher,
MLss Esteila Mies, at Holly Farm.
The party Is in the nature of a fare
well, as Miss Niles leaves a week
from Saturday for a visit with Wis
consin relatives.
He Fought at Gettysburg.
David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y.,
who lost a foot at Gettysburg, writes:
"Electric Bitters have done me more
good than any medicine I ever took.
For several years I had stomach
trouble, and paid out much money for
medicine to little purpose, until I be
gan taking Electric Bitters. I would
not take $500 for what they have done
for me." Grand tonic for the aged
and for female weaknesses. Great al
terative and body builder; sure cure
for lame back and weak kidneys.

OLD ROUTE WILL
BE FOLLOWED
F. I. Fuller, the general manager
of the Portland Railway, Light and
Power company, was in Oregon City
Monday, to decide on the route of the
new spur to be run from the main line
at Gladstone into the Chautauqua
grounds nearby. Accompanied by H.
E. Cross and other members of the
Chautauqua association a trip was
made over the ground, and after care
ful examination it was decided to run
a spur on the old line used years ago.
The track will be laid with 60-
pound steel rails and made as per
fect as possible. The new spur will
greatly add to the convenience of go
ing to and returning from the park,
and the number of visitors at the
Chautauqua this season will be great
ly enlarged in consequence.

MUST RELEASE
LAND HOLDINGS
A Washington special says: Sen
ator Bourne of Oregon has again con
sulted with the President about the
cases of the Southern Pacific Railway
company, which he charges is holding
up approximately .1,000.000 acres of
public land, much of which is In Ore
gon, that should be opened to settle
ment. The Senator says that grants
covering the land, which originally
were for C, 000. 000 acres, were made
with the understanding that the land
should be opened up to settlement at
a nominal price per acre. A great
deal of It, he says, was sold for $15
an acre, and half of It was withheld
from salealtogether. He now insists
that steps be taken to release these
holdings.

NEW FLUME
AT MILLS
i
An Improvement That Time
Will Make Nccccssary
Little Delay
NO LONG SHUT DOWN
In Anticipation at The Oregon City
Woolen Mills Nothing Definite as
to When Flume Will be Built.
t There have been many rumors on
the streets as to Improvements In and
around the lower basin, among others
the story that the Oregon City woolen
mills are to soon close down while
the erection of a new Hume Is under
way, to take the placn of the lower
or older section of that water way.
I Inquiry at the office of the company
brought to light the truth In the rum
or. The lower portion of the Hume
Is old and must be replaced with a
new structure some time In the future.
Hut that Improvement has not been
; decided on as yet. either as to its ab
solute necessity, time of construction
or materials of which It Is to bo built.
The rumor that the mill would be
shut down for a long period a few
weeks later, while the cement abut
ments were In course of construction
at the north end of the lower basin.
I.-: also said to be erroneous. A shut
down of a day or so may be made
necessary when the steel tube Is
placed In position at the opening in
the cement work, but this will be of
short duration. According to present
plans at the mills no long drawn out
shut-down Is anticipated, and the
mill's owners are In hopes that a long
and prosperous season Is before them.
The Hume recently erected has been
a large bill of expense to all the par
ties concerned ami as few annoyances
and delays as possible are hoped for
In the near future.
Appendicitis
Is due In a large measure to abuse
of the bowels, by employing drastic
purgatives. To avoid all danger, use
only Dr. King's New Life Pills, tho
safe, gentle cleansers and lnvlgora

PORTLAND STREET
CAR HELD UP
Masked Highwayman Robs Conductor,
Killing Him and Wounding Mo
torman. Tho streets of Portland were the
scene of a railway hold-up at the
hands of a masked robber Monday
nighty In the melee Conductor C. L.
Nevlils was shot and killed and Motor
man B. L. Hull was shot through the
right hand In the battle with a lone
bandit who held up car No. ftG, on
the Rose City Park branch of the East
Ankeny street car line. There wero
no passengers on the car.
After robbing the conductor of his
day's receipts the highwayman ran
away and Is supposed to have boarded
an east-bound freight train on the O.
R. &' N. The daring crime was com
mitted at the Intersection of the street
railway track with the O. R. & N. rail
road, at East Thirty-seventh street.
At this point the cars are required to
stop, the conductor running ahead to
see that the track was clear. The
man was masked.
Two suspects have been arrested at
The Dalles, and an officer has left for
that point to see If one Is the masked
robber wanted, but little hope that
such Is the case.
REPLACING CABLES
ON RIVER BRIDGE
Will Lift Cables Friday and Open
Bridge to Public Monday.
Workmen on tho Willamette bridge
know 110 holiday; this Is made neces
sary because of the Inconvenience
which delay causes to hundreds who
have no other means of crossing tho
1 river.
J Four of the cables at the southeast
j corner of tho bridge have been re-
piucou wun Hi.eci rods ami worumon
will now begin tho replacing of those
at tho northeast corner. County Com
missioner Llewellyn says that tho
substitution of four steel rods for four
cables makes the bridge safe so far
as cable decay Is concerned tit leant
until the work can be completed,
At the west end of the bridge work
men are placing screws In position
for lifting the oihloH and Inserting (be
new cable saddle. It Is expected to
I lift the cables liidny, and when that
Is done, which will lake the strain
from the present Imperfect saddles,
the bridge can be opened to truffle,
It Is believed the bridge run be op
ined to the public Sunday or .Monday.
If it Im possible to secure melt
work will continue ou the bridge Sun
day. The work of replacing the floor will
be done at night, ho fur as possible,

FITTED. There has been considerable dis
cussion by those Interested In the

fulr In this county. Speaking of the
subject this working one of the lead
ers among tho business men of Ore
gon City snld: "All that Is neces
sary to make such a move a success
Is to have u leader. We have the
materials for a good county fair, and
If we had a good leader It would be
poslble to establish such an enter
prise." Like all communities, there are
those who would gladly undertake to
lead such an enterprise, but what Is
j wanted Is one who could satisfy all

In tho community who could and
would make the enterprise a success
If they could be Induced to take the
leadership. What Is needed at this
