Of June It limy be said, iudeed.
It is a great Invention,
And one we1 rather badly need
To somewhat ease the tension.
If we're to fish, to loaf and wish,
Or hearken Nature's call.
We'll do It soon or late In June,
Or not. do It at all.
The comet, having hung about un'il
we wero converted, shall gradually
peter out and leave us quite deserted.
W nuist recall we are not all the
world It sets aright, and bid It speed
where there Is need lo cause another
fright.
It Is a sort of cop upon a beat of
great dimensions and must by- then
be getting on to scatter its attentions.
They haVe John D.'s and Morgan P.'s
on many a distant ball, and were it
not for Hnlley hot these few would
grab It all.
A Guggenheim would capture Mars,
a Rof kefeller Venus, and Morgans on
the other stars would utterly demean
ua. We'd even be, unhappily, quite
naked where we sit If It were not that
Halloy got around snd saw to It.
It will not all at once appear how
far the comet served us, or just to
whnt extent the fenr prevailed while it
observed us; but safe to say that for
a day or thereabouts somewheres the
trusts won't find it half so hard to
toll our things from theirs.
However, and be as it may.
The comet will outpace us,
And Theodorua on n day
Will happily embrace us.
The hemisphere will tip, we fear,
Beneath his mighty track,
But oven to the liars will
Rejoice to Bee hltn back.
'Twas better to be In a elub and
branded Ananias than languish sadly
ub a dub unsung or honored by us.
The chance for fame since Afrlc game
wooed this extraordinary son of the
Dutch has not been much, and he Is
welcome, very.

WONDERFUL
OPERATION
DR. E. A. 80MMER TAKES HEART
FROM MOLALLA BOY,
WHO LIVES.
ENGLE IS RECOVERING
Delicate Organ Is Pierced by Bul
let, and Patient Submits to
Serioue and Trying
Ordeal.
Dr. Krnst A. Sommer, for many
years a practicing physician of Ore
gon City, but now of Portland, per
formed one of the most dangerous
snd delicate operations known to tbe
medical world In Portland last week.
and a Port and newspaper has the fol
lowing description:
Holding s. l'ing, pulsating, human
heart In the palm of bis hand, a sur
geon at St. Vlnccnt Hospital deftly
stitched together the walla of a gash
In Its tip, waiting tensely for every
remission of the organ's systole and
diastole to lake one tiny step in the
process. And the operator did It
as a matter of course, a thing In the
day's work. Interesting of course, but
hardly worthy of extraordinary com
ment. The wan patient who lies upon his
couch, recovering marvelously from
what would have been regarded 20
years ago as a necessarily fatal
wound, does not view the matter
with the physician's sangfroid, for
to the deftness of those fingers and
the keenness of those eyes he owes
a lire that was all but derelict.
Clyde Engle.'a youth of 24 years,
residing with his parents near Molal
la, sustained an accidental wound
from a small-caliber rifle bullet last
Sunday, while on his way with a
companion to a funeral near Mol
alia. Dr. Todd, living at Molalla, was
railed Immediately, and with great
presence of mind, seeing that tbe
case was not one for prolonged first
aid. rushed the sufferer to an auto
mobile and started him at high speed
for Portland. Meanwhile a skillful
surgeon waa communicated with and
was waiting at the hospital when
the car rolled In. having made the
2(widd miles lu quick time. Engle was
taken at once to the operating room
and the delicate work of saving bis
life was commenced.
The patient was comparatively
strong when the operation took, place,
due to the fact that the flow of blood
from his wound, having filled the
cardiac cavity, stopped the hemorr
hage by Its own pressure. Compara
tively little of the vital fluid had been
lost, thanks lo the quick action of
the Molalla physician.
The first step after anesthetic had
been given was to open what the sur
geon, sneaking In lay terms, called
a trap door In the chest wall. This
was cut three Inches square, the ribs
and flesh being laid back as ot a
hinge. Then the cavity was drained
of the escaped blood. It was found
that the bullet had pierced the lower
lobe of the left lung and cut a gash

of Our Theodore to Us.
on the whole wns rather what we
I wjmted. We never cease to prate of
; peace and say that war is bad, but
! even so it does get slow with no one
: very mad.
We rather like the pleasant sound
of peace gone willy-nilly, and someone
being chased around the White House
with a billy. We've missed it much for
lack of Dutch In smiling Mr. Taft,
and mortal sin but it has been a long
time since we laughed.
The present Congress will conclude
Where freedom's latest squawk
was,
And turn to have its work reviewed
By nil the big chautauquas.
The President will pitch his tent
At Beverly aagln,
And the news anon will dwell upon
The likelihood of rain.
Vpon the 21st the sun will reach
the line of Cancer, and Summer noT
too underdone will haply be the ans
wer. This is, they say, the longest
day, however you may search, but
you will hardly notice It unless you
are nt church.
At any rate, the swimming-hole will
get a little warmer, and harvest time
will vex the soul nnd slumber of the
farmer. He'll pray for hands to tend
dog; and the wary tramp will make
his catut) beside a hollow log.
The rich will hie away to spend
the Summer by the water to live
until the seasons' end the glad life
of an opper. The poor, meanwhile, will
sweetly smile, however fortune goes,
nnd stilusli nnd rub Inside the tub
alternate with the clothes.
The singing stars will relndulge
their old familiar riddle, and milk and
buttermilk will bulge the boarder
round the middle. The heart for June
will hum a tune, or plenty or a crust,
and the whlpnorwlll when night Is
still will whistle like to bust.
And then July will come around
In terrible ascendance,
And we will shoot each other up
Observing Independence.
LYONS BLOCK FINE
SITE FOR BUILDING
CHOICE LOCATION 8ECURE0
FOR OREGON CITY'8 NEW
HIGH 8CHOOL.
The new high school for Oregon
City wili be located on tbe Dan Lyons
block, which Is bounded by Eleventh.
Twelfth, John Qulney Adams and
Jackson streets. This site was se
lected from seven that were offered
the Board of Directors, and It Is con
sidered that the district made a very
advantageous choice. The cost Is
14,000, and this Includes the Improve
ment of Jackson, Eleventh and
Twelfth streets and the sewer assess
ments. The block has eight lots and
in very sightly. It Is cleared and In
perfect condition and the cost of the
construction of a building there will
be considerably less than on some of
the other sites offered. Mrs. L. W.
Andrews offered the Board of Direct
ors 10 lots on falls View without cost
to the district for a high school, bnt
