THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH WHERE THE PASTOR, REV. J. M. LINDEN, WANTS TO OPEN A REST ROOM FOR OUT OF TOWN VISITORS. BARTON. Now will you believe It never rains In August? C. O. Davis had the misfortune to lose his household effects by fire last Sunday. He lived on the Foreman farm, which he has rented for some time. Supper was just ready and Mr. Davis was away from the house at the time. It caught from a defective flue. The stairway and two bedrooms were a mass of flames before anything could be done. Very little was saved. He moved In to the Bartlemay house which was kindly offered him by its owner, Mr. Harvey Gibson, where they are slowly beginning to realize this last -bewildering blow to them already almost overwhelming sorrow. Mrs Davis was away at the time, being in Eastern Oregon at the bedside of their daughter, Florence, aged 16, who was thrown from a horse some two weeks ago at her grandfather's place and so Injured her head that her life is dis paired of. She has never regained con- sciousness. The Davises have the pro found sympathy of the entire com munity. A delightful picnic and boating par ty was held at the Eden picnic ground on Clackamas river last Tuesday. A large swing, plenty of boating and a grand banquet was enjoyed through out the day.

COMING THE BEST SHOW OF THE SEASON The CLAM AN PLAYERS A Company of 18 People with Band and Orchestra PRESENTING THE BIG SCENIC REVIVAL OF ON THE FRONTIER Shively's Opera Mouse Saturday August 15 Special scenery, mechanical devices and electrical effects. High class vaudeville specialties between each act. Not a dull moment from start to finish. Saturday was a rod-letter day In the history of Oswego Grant? No. 175, Patrons of Husbandry. In addition to a good turnout or us own mounters J. J. Johnson., state lecturer of tho order; Oscar Eaton, state chaplain; Mrs. Mary S. Howard, stale secretary, and a goodly number of visitors from UMits, Woodluwn, Winona (Tualatin), Milwaukee. Sherwood ami Arletu Granges were present. The monthly routine business was disposed of, and then the occasion! of tho large gather ing was revealed the celebration of the 88th birthday of Chaplain Eaton. After a sumptuous dinner, the meet ing was thrown open to tho public and a number of Mr. Eaton's old friends, not members of tho Grange, were admitted to the hall, and all united Ini extending heartfelt congrat ulations to the cheerful old veteran of four-score and eight years. The programme was n holly Inform al and under the direction of Mrs. Helen M. Ewing. lecturer. In tho be ginning Mr. Eaton was escorted tho length of the hall, amid the clapping of hands, where he was seated upon a chair draped with "Old Glory," near a table adorned with Mowers, and a handsome birthday cake, suitably In scribed, following with a Grango song written by Mr. Eaton several years ago, was sung to the tune of "Ameri ca." He then recited a brief original poem, descriptive of his life experi ence. Then followed brier congratu latory remarks by Rev. R. E. Jones and Rev. D. B. Gray, both of whom had known Mr. Eaton since his ar rival In Oregon In 1871. Joseph Dobbins, Mrs. J. J. Tingle, and Mr. Allen, all of whom knew Mr. Eaton In Grand Traverse County, Michigan, more that 50 years ago, fol lowed with reminiscences of those days, which were In turn amusing, In structive and pathetic. Vocal music followed, by Misses Elizabeth and Ruth Stevenson, great grand-daughters of "Uncle John Stevenson,' a well known pioneer of 1853. Instrumental music, both violin and piano, was provided by the Dickinson brothers. George H. Hlmes being called for, responded briefly by com- paring the population of the Nation and the principal cities in 1820 with that of the present day. State Lectur er Johnson, Mrs. Howard, state secre tary; Mrs. Hattle L. Vail, Mrs. J. Cas- to, M.'s. Gage, and a number of others followed all giving strong emphasis to the value of a life long spent In doing good to others. In Oregon there is probably no man who commands more universal respect as a good citizen anil in every sense than Chaplain Oscar Eaton. His pres ence in any gathering is a benediction. Although old as measured by years, he is still as young in spirit as ever. He was born In Chautauqua County, New York, August 8, 1820, on a farm, and lived there until 1850, when he removed to Grand Traverse County, Michigan, where he acquired a quar ter section of timber land and clear ed up about 30 acres for a farm. On August 15, 1802, he enlisted in the Twenty-sixth Michigan Infantry, and served through the Civil War with credit. He was In the Second Army Corps, commanded by General Wln fleld S. Hancock, and his brigade com mander wag General Nelson A. Miles. He was In many engagements that were particularly trying, among them the Wilderness, Spottsylvanla Court house, Cold Harbor and Petersburg. He was discharged from service in June, 18C5, and at once returned to his farm. In 1871. getting tired of the cold Winters of Michigan, Mr. Eaton came to Oregon, and first settled at Forest Grove. In 1880 he removed to the vi cinity of Oswego, where he has made his home up to the present time. His first vote was cast for every Whig and Republican candidate for the Pres idency Blnce. Chaplain Eaton Joined Oswego Grange 25 years ago, and has been a bright and shining light In Its mem bership ever since, exemplifying in his upright lift every obligation he as sumed. He has been an officer of the subordinate and State Grange many years, wholly unsought, and has per formed every duty with conspicuous fiidelity. The meeting of Oregon Stale Good Roads Association held In Portland this week, whs largely attended by delegates from all of the cities In Ore- gon. The meeting, which was one of the most enthusiastic, ever held by this association, ciiiuo to a close, on Weil nesday afternoon, when the delegates were taken to Greslmm by 25 largo automobiles over the Improved roads to tho country club, and was thorough ly enjoyed by the visitors. Representatives from Canby, Mil waukee, Oak Grove and Oregon City were present and took an active In terest in tho proceedings. Jui'go Ryan, of this city, was Invited by County Judges Webster and Scott to assist them In this work through out the state, but his business Inter ests prevents hi in permanently from engaging In this work. Mr. Ryan was on tho committee on resolutions ami prepared those adopted by tho nsso- elation. Through tho report of the Commit tee- oni Ways and Means submitted to the Good Roads Conference nt a Into hour Tuesday afternoon, all differ ences between the Oregon State Good Roads Association and tho pro moters of the enthusiastic mass meet ing held In Portland, were reconciled The report follows: "Your Committee on Ways and Means begs leave to report that In Its opinion tho sum of $10,000 must bo raised to defray tho expenses of an enthusiastic and energetic campaign Tor giKd roads. "Wo further recommend that two men be employed to carry on tho work and that theso two men bo Judge Lio nel R. Webster, of Multnomah Coun ty, and Judgn John H. Scott, of Marlon lounty, provided satisfactory arrange ments can ho made with theso gen tlemen by tho committee. "It Is further the sense of this Com mittee that it should havo a perma nent existence and be tho medium through which tho work of this con ference bo carried on. "Mr. V. U.

Albert, of Marlon, was larirelv responsible for being ahlo to unlto tho boosters Into a harmonious unit, resulting In the selection of Mr. Scott, from tho older organization, and Judgo Webster, as tho representatives of tho entire movement. In carrying out tho plans projected by the enthusiastic road-builders, It Is proposed to raise at least 110,000, perhaps more, by subscription. To this will bo added donations In vari ous sums of more than $100 to bo mane by tho towns In which meetings mmmm IkV.'.l I'll-1; J ei m Copyright 1908 by Hart Schilihcr & Mux This fall we're go ing to show you a stock of Hart Schaffner 6c Marx clothes that will sur pass anything we've had.

ADAMS S, he cost of constructing a road should state has devoted Ms tlmo to farming t he lMrnu one-third by the slate, one third by tho county and one-third by tho owners of abutting property. It also provided for a road commission, authorized to appoint a state superin tendent of roads, thus taking tlmt plum away from tho Governor. Judge Ryan's hcIiciuo of assessing the cost of roail construction to road districts met with many supporters. Tho beauty of tho Clacknmas Coun ty Jurist's plan Is that If a county Judge ho desires he can put an entire county Into a single district, thus dis tributing the taxation. Ilefore tho resolutions committee, President ltuxton, of the state grange, made a strong plea for tho farmers. Ills organization would help to get bill providing for district taxation, but would opioso any sort of a bonding measure. In 1902 tho good rouriH movement was commenced In Oregon ns tho re sult or a visit of a party of officials from Washington, D. C. From that meeting tho sentiment has spread to every county In the state. The dele gates announced their realization of tho advantages tho state would receive from a great system of solid, clean, en during highways, which would afford opportunity for the wealthy to pass their vacations in automolilllng and berry raising, his berries always commanding tho highest market prices on account of their excellent quality.

The report of the Committee on Resolutions urged har mony ami co-operation. The .afternoon session was given over to speakers from outside coun ties, who told of what Is being accom plished locally. A strong effort was mado to the endorsement of what Is known an the "Johnson Itlll." Senntrir lnhnH.n put forth a great effort In the last legislative session to urovldo a law which would fix the method of shar ing tho cost of road construction. It passed, but was vetoed by the Gov ernor. It was urged that the approv al of tho bill by the Good Roads Con ference would enable Its friends to pass It over the veto. It failed of en dorsement.
