terest has been manifested in the pro

W. Loder and William Stone as
speakers.' Over 100 members signed
up.
There is a possibility that Oregon
City folk will become better acquaint
ed with the southern end of their
city, provided the postal authorities
make a contemplated move, and ac
cept the building offered at 4th and
Main streets as a site for the local
postofflce. No official announcement
ot the change has been made, but as
the contract with the Weinhard es
tate for the present location expires
next March, the government has call
ed for bids for a building for a term
of five years, and the First National
Hank and Barlow & David have sub
mitted the best terms. The site they
offer includes two buildings, one now
occupied by thesKlemsen grocery, and
the other by a furniture store. It is
understood that the lease tendered the
government calls for a monthly rental
ot $150, which is said to be less than
the Weinhard bid.

of the Oregon City Water System, says
he is having troubles of his own at
the present time. Mr. McCausland's
wife, who was recently taken very
ill suffering from rheumatism. has
been taken to the Shipherd's Hot
Springs, and Sunday he had the mis
fortune of losing the wheel carried on
the rear of his automobile as an
"extra." Sunday morning there was
more trouble for the superintendent.
He Lad a roll of the finest creamery
butter in his basement, and to his
surprise a large dog visited his home
and having a good taste for butter,
decided on the roll in the McCaus
land cellar. Mr. McCausland found
him devouring this in his back yard.
Still more trouble. Mr. McCausland
has some prize apricots growing on
his place from grafts which Mr. Mc
Causland placed on his tree a num
ber ot years ago. He was to surprise
his wife by "putting up fruit" while
she was at the Hot Springs. Upon
his return from the Hot Springs, he
found they had spoiled and were not
in condition to can. He is now look
ing for more trouble.

Captain Hull
They tell me Captain Hull is gone,
Called to the dear Homeland.
Weil miss his friendly greeting,
And the warm clasp of his mand.
Say, haven't you seen a wintry day,
When everything looked blue,
Then suddenly the dark clouds broke,
And the sunshine warmed you thru,
So you forgot your discontent.
And your worries for a while?
Well, that's about what happened
When you'd meet the Captain's
smile.
I never saw him out of sorts,
Down on his luck or sad;
And surely, when he entered Heaven.
The angel hosts were glad.
Don't you think, if he could speak to
us
He'd ask us to be strong,
Taking up the work that he laid
down.
Of passing smiles along?
We'll see him in a little while, ,
He has Just gone ahead
To the Grand Army Encampment,
The Captain is not dead.
