The following report has been sent
In by the teachers of our school.
The Jennings Lodge has Improved
much during the last year. Possibly
$500 have been spent since last Sept
ember for various Improvements and
equipments as electric lights, fixings
and furnishings for the new school
room and the new blackboards in
both rooms. The people of the Com
munity Club and of the Circle should
consider their BChool as the first im
portant thing to attract settlers and
Investors.
The grades In the school are pos
sibly as good as those of the same
grades In other schools. By law, the I
inspector, Mrs. Shaw, will call on the
, school every month and make note
of the progress, order and deportment.
In February a Parent and Teach
er's meeting will be held In Jennings
Lodge conducted by Mrs. Shaw, and

of Importance and all people will be

Improvements that they would like
to see in the school. The date will
be announced later and all parents

NEW YORK, Jan. 17. In one of the
biggest demonstrations In the history
of New York, Cardinal Farley was wel
comed home today by 100,000 Catho
lics after a two months' visit to Rome,
during which time he was made a
prince of the church.
The steamer Berlin, on which Car
dinal Farley arrived, was met at Ho-
boken by the steamer Rosedale, carry
ing 500 members of a reception com
mittee headed by Justice Dowling of
the state Supreme Court.
Every Catholic society in the arch
diocese of New York was represented
in the double line of cheering men and
women which extended from the Bat
tery to St. Patrick's cathedral. The
men wore scarlet neckties and ros
ettes, and the women scarlet ribbons,
After the regular passengers on the
Berlin had disembarked at Hoboken
the members of the committee, res
plendent in silk hats and red ties,
boarded the vessel and Cardinal Far
ley was transferred to the Rosedale,
where luncheon was served, the pre
late presiding.
The Rosedale then steamed to the
Battery, where the procession was
formed, the body of men and women
marching to St. Patrick's cathedral,
where Cardinal Farley addressed a
large assemblage.
Cardinal Farley was. drawn in an
open carriage to the cathedral, es
corted by a troop of mounted police
and 150 automobiles, bearing members
of the reception committee. Twelve
hundred police lined the route. As
the cardinal was passing many per
sons dropped to their knees in the
snow and received his blessing. At
the cathedral he was received by
eighteen papal Knights of St. Gregory,
each wearing Jeweled crosses to sig
nify their rank. Seven hundred
priests participated In the service at
the cathedral.
Cardinal Farley brought the follow
ing message to Americans from Pope
Pius:
"I admire your hospitable land,
where the people of all nations are
welcomed and where liberty to all is
assured. I pray continually for your
land, realizing the great future It of
fers to each man knowing how to use
his own liberty with regard to the
liberty of bis neighbors.
America, I realize, knows what lib-
J erty Is. I am fully alive concerning
not only the future of the cburcn, but
of the land as well, and my earnest
prayer is that Its greatness shall con
tinue." Cardinal Farley declared that the
Pope's physical condition was mar
velous, his eye being as clear and
bright as the morning. He also said
that his own health was of the best
and that he was glad to be back home,
heartburn, sour
stomach, nervousness,
nausea, impure blood, ami
more trouble than many
different kinds of diseases.
The food you eat ferments
in your stomach, and the
poisons it forms arc ab
sorbed into your whole
system, causing many dis
tressing symptoms. At the
first sign of indigestion, try

GOMEZ ORDERED TO ENFORCE

REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT MENACED
President Taft Takes Firm Stand
Trouble Which Is Now
Blamed On Veterans
In Service,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. Notice
was served on Cuba by the State De
partment today that the United States
would intervene unless the veteran
organization of the republic ceased to
nullify the laws guaranteeing a re
publican form of government In the
aland. The governments attitude
was set forth In the following note,
presented formally today to the Cu-
ban government:
The situation In Cuba, as now re
ported, causes grave concern to the
government of the United States.
"That the laws intended to safe
guard free republican government
shall be enforced, and not defied. Is
obviously essential to the mainten
ance of law, order and stability in
dispensable to the status of the Re
public of Cuba In the continued well
being of which the United States has
always evinced and cannot escape a
vital Interest.
The President of the United
States therefore looks to the Presi
dent and government of Cuba to pre
vent the threatened situation which
would compel the government of the
nited States much against Its de-
ires, to consider what measures it
must take in pursuance of the obliga
tions of Its relations to Cuba. '
It was upon reports of Minister
Reaupre that today's note was based.
Minister Beaupre reported from Ha-
ana that in defiance of a decree
Issued by President Gomez,- forbid
ding officers of the army and rural
guards to participate In politics, many
army officers and ruralea attended
meeting Sunday night of the National
Council of Veterans an organization
of veterans of the Cuban War of In
dependence. Such participation alBO
is prohibited by law.
The veterans have been active in
the past three months In attempting
to have displaced from the civil ser
vice persons who sympathized with
the Spanish cause In the rebellion
Press dispatches today Indicated that
the veterans were threatening to co
erce members of Congress to nullify
the law regarding the participation
of the military in politics.
TO ENCOURAGE VOTING
A bill providing reward for attend
ance at primaries and elections is to
be proposed and considered by tne
Massachusetts Legislature.
The rewards appear in the shape of
provisions that the poll tax for an
alien shall be $2 a year and for a cit
izen $8. with a reduction of $2 for each
primary or election that the citizen
attends, except that do tax shall be
Imposed if the citizen attends every
primary and election. The bill makes
disability a valid excuse for non-at
tendance.
There has long been a feeling that
the poll tax operated as a deterrent
and thus contributed indirectly to the
success of fraud and corruption at the
polls. The proposition to enact leg
islation for compulsory voting has en
countered serious objection and now
comes a plan of encouraging voting
by offering a reward.
The operation of the plan. If It be
comes a law, will be watched with
Interest throughout the country.

purat'vely small shewing of superior
stock.
"I really believe that the growers
w lu nave first-quality potatoes In their
pits will not lose anythlug by hold
lug them for a mouth or longer, for
the Southern buyers will In all prob
ability be in tho mnrkot for that sort
of stock soon or lato, and pay fair
prices for tho product. Meantime
tho problem of disposing of the In
ferior stock confronts tho growers,
but the chances aro that the problem
will solve Itself within (he next month
or tw-o.
"There Is no use trying to sell lu
a market short of buyers, and that U
the kind of a market we have Just
now. I believe tho situation will
mend somewhat all around a little
later and taking that view It Is prob
ably Just as well that the farmers
hold off for a few weeks, until tho
outlook In the South shows somo Im
provement."

Office over Bank of Oregon City.
STARTS FOR SPUDS
There Is some demand In the South
now for Oregon potatoes, both Bur-
banks and American Wonders being
wauted in a limited way, tho littler
for seed purposes, aud the belief pre.
vails thnt the market from this time
on will show a little more life and
strength than during the past six
weeks.
For the present prices remain prac
tically unchanged. For fulr lo good
grade Durbanks, for shipment to Tex
as, New Mexico and Arizona, buyers
ro offering 90 cents to $1 a hundred
t shipping points, while fancy Dur
banks, for which there Is a limited
market In California, are said to be
movable at $1 to $1.15.
The demand in territory along the
Mexican border, though yet very lim
ited, is regarded as an encouraging
ign. Illt.lcrto Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas have drawn largely upon
Colorado and other states farther
north for potato supplies at this time
of the year. This year available sup-
plies in those states are said to be
short consequently the Southern buy
ers are turning to Oregon.
Growers and dealers alike have for
some time been a good deal concorn
ed regarding the market prospect for
tne Oregon surplus, which Is goner
lly admitted to be considerably
bove the average showing; nt thl
me in recent years. Estimates of
holdings in first hands In the state
range from 800 to 1,100 cars, and in
view ot tins it is evident that an out
et of good proportions will bo neces
snry for the near future. Whether
e demand In the Southern states
ill measure up to requirements In
this respect remains to be seen, but
on tne whole the situation Is regard
ea as favorable.
For the best offerings there la llttlo
doubt about the market. These will
be taken readily enough. It Is the
liberal supply of the medium grades
that causes apprehension In some
quarters, but dealers say the chances
are mat these too will find a mar
ket though perhaps not at the prices
the growers are counting on.

Company Is seemingly making every

but thus far without much showing of
success. Some weeks ago the coin
pany placed a fighting brand known
as "Jersey Queen" upon the market
at a rather low price in order to gel
back some of the business that tho
other condenserles were taking. Nat
urally, this was followed by similar
cuts In the price by other canners,
and try? war was merely begun.
The Pacific Coast Condensed Milk
Company cut its price on "Jersey
Queen" 25c per case. This put tho
Jobbing price to $2 90 to $2.90 per
case. In the meantime other canners
were not Idle, and first class brands
such as Yeloband, were cut In answer
to this new movement. While Yelo
band Is being quoted around $3.40.
actual sales are being made at $3
net. Pioneer Is now quoted at $3.40
or 5c under Carnation. Holly Is rang
ing at the same price as Yeloband,
while Llbby, an Eastern product, Is
quoted at $3.60 per case.
It Is stated that present stocks of
milk In the hands of canners are the
heaviest ever known at this time.
