FEDERAL BUILDING
"If at first you don't succeed try,
try again." "In unity there is
strength' are mottoes sure to bring
success. For years Oregon City has
been greatly in need of a Federal
building in which to house the Gov
ernment postoffice and now that we
have a postal bank, there is even
greater reason for such. For years,
also, our good people have been work
ing not by combined effort, but in
different ways without success. Now,
through the combined, strenuous ex
ertions, through the Commercial Club
and the Live Wires, very good indica
tions are now on the surface that
our dreams of said past year3 are in
a fair way to materialize. Our Sena
tors and Congressmen at "Washing
ton are putting their shoulders to the
wheel as none of their predeccessors
have- and, with the encouragement
sent them from time to time by wire
and letter at the hands of those in
charge o our commercial body are
spurred on to even better their pre
vious labor in our behalf. Long may
the Live Wires live, and the good
work go on, for we are in equal urg
ent need of other things. Among
them, a Public Dock, a Public Library
building.aand an Armory, in addition
to the items now almost assured, viz:
deep water to Portland, Free Locks,
and Terminal Rates.
Oregon City will soon be known to
the world as a synonym for progress
for the eyes of the world are turned
toward us even now.
Monday evening's Telegram in its
editorial columns gives Oregon City
more publicity by stating:
"If you are a drum major and out
of a job, take the Oregon City car."
We wish to supplement the wise
words of our metropolitan daily by
stating that anyone else looking for
the best, liveest, wide-awake town on
th Pacific coast of anywhere near its
size, whether mechanic, farmer, busi
ness or professional man, can also
take the same car.
THE LETTER
Amanda's been home visitin'
We wished that she might stay.
The house is awful lonesome
Since our daughter went away.
I notice Josh doesn't whistle much,
Nor sing a lively tune;
An' he seemed sort of tuckered out
When he came in at noon.
He had so little appetite
I knew he wasn't well.
"Now don't you go to work,"' sez I,
"Until ye rest a spell."
But Josh took down his old straw hat,
(The one Amanda wore
About the farm when she was home,
Altho' the rim is tore.)
Sez he, "I guess I'll saunter to "
The mail box jest to see
If Amanda's sent a letter
Er a card to you and me.
'Twill rest me more Samantha dear
Than sittin' in a chair
I'd be uneasy thinkin'
Of that letter waitin' there."
A lump in my throat choked me
As I saw his hopeful smile
What if he's dissappointed
When he's walked that weary mile!
Oh I wish I might whisper
To the dear hearts that must roam,
''Don't forget to write real often to
The weary ones at home'.
Why, there is Josh a gettin' back
So soon it's not yet one
I know he's got the letter for
He's comin' on the run.
He's wavin' it yes, it's from her
Oh amt it big an' thick!
"Samantha put your glasses on,"
Cries Josh, "An" read it quick!"
SAMANTHA Of Clackamas County
Heart to Heart
Talks.
. By EDWIN A.. NYE,
TO A HOUSEWIFE.
At the end of your long day you are
listless and worn and tired.
Small wonder.
There are no union hours for you,
and it is a long stretch from morning
meal to the after supper darning. You
have scarcely stopped fo breathe.
Not once have you relaxed which is
a mistake.
You can learn something from the
Hindoo, mother. It is the invariable
rule of the Hindoo household that the
mother, as well as the children, must
retire for a half hour daily into silence,
relax the muscles, regulate breathing
and meditate on things eternal.
Possibly you cannot give so much
time, but you can give, say, ten min
utes If you try!
You can, if you are so determined,
take a few minutes, say, after the
noonday meal, lie down, relax your
tired musclos and overtaxed xerves.
Maybe you can doze long enough to
lose consciousness of your surround
ings for a moment or two.
Let the dinner dishes go.
It is not necessary that you should
sleep. Lie down anyway. Relax. Rest.
If you will religiously observe a time
when you can relax you will be sur
prised, after a time, how fresh you
will be wheu you take up your house
hold tasks. And you will not feel
flabby and worn at the end of the day.
Relaxation!
It is the last word of the modern
scientists. They tell us and it is
good sense that a human being should
no more go through a' long day with
overwrought nerves and taut muscles
than a violin should be kept strung to
its highest tension.
Your vitality is limited.
Why exhaust it? You will live
longer and be worth more to your
family if you will relax betimes.
Watch an animal relax. A dog drops
down, full stretched, nose on paw.
He may jump up in a minute, but he
has relaxed.
Here Is a human example: Judge
Cole of Des Moines, la., is eighty-five
and practicing law. He says he has
lived long and actively, because every
day for fifty years he has relaxed.
He lies down always in the middle of
the day not to sleep, but just to let
the veil of unconsciousness drop for a
moment. Then, he says, "I wake up
In a new world."
My dear woman relax!
It is the secret of good health and
ipirlts, a sure relief from overtension.
Two Factors.
Willis I've got to cut out this high
life while my wife is away.
Glllis What's the trouble now?

are beginning to tell. Puck.

Gaelic League Doing Much to
Preserve National Institu
tions and Language.
By EMMET RIORDON.
HEN Irishmen throughout
the length and breadth of
the land meet to sing the
praises of the Green Isle
and its patron saint in every festive
gathering there is one or more it may
be many to whom "Erin go Bragh" is
BEPBODTTCTION OF FIFTEENTH CENTURY
GOWN.
more than a patriotic formula, to whom
the words are those of a living lan
gunge that they know and love and
can use in their daily speech.
That this is so is due to the unselfish
and unremitting efforts of the men
and women who, with the vision ever
before them of an Ireland with her
youth renewed, her beauty and
strength restored, have worked for the
preservation of the-Gaelic tongue and
the restoration of Irish arts and indus
tries.- They have their reward in that,
whereas Gaelic a few years ago was in
the United States a moribund If not a
$
dead language, there are now half a
million persons who speak it 50,000 of
them in New York-city while in the
thirty-two counties of Ireland the Gael
ic league has a membership of 50,000.
There are nearly 200 Irish schools in
which the whole course of study is
conducted in Gaelic as well as in Eng
lish, while in nearly half of the eight
thousand odd primary schools the an
cient tongue is taught either as an or
dinary or as an added subject The
University of Cork has a chair of Irish
language and literature, and it is the
intention of the senate of the National
university to make Irish a necessary
subject for entrance examinations, be
ginning with the year 1913. s
Not less encouraging is the progress
which has been made in the revival
of Irish arts and crafts. Cottage in
dustries like lacemaking, for which
Irishwomen have long been famous,
have received a marked impetus. A
campaign of education has been car
ried on in this country, not only on the
literary side, but with a view to in
duce Americans to purchase Irish
products, and with such success that
in four years the volume of Irish im
ports to one city St. Louis was in
creased from $20,000 to more than
$315,000, as shown by the records of
the custom house. Of these linens
constituted the largest item, $233,488.
The other goods and amounts were:
Handkerchiefs, $12,742; other fabrics,
$25,189; laces, $6,002; miscellaneous,
$37,706.
As a result of this industrial re
vival thousands of young- people, it is
said, have been made self supporting,
and thousands more are earning more
money than they ever hoped to make
if they remained in Ireland.
Last year a party of missionaries of
the Gaelic league visited the United
States and gave lectures on the work
of the league, while some of them,
pretty " Irish colleens, illustrated the
lacemaking and other industries which
the league is so successfully fostering
on the "old sod." One of the lecturers.
describing the benefits which had come
to Ireland through this renewal of her
fcld industrial life, said in a public ad
dress, "You who have endured the
pangs of sorrow, the heartbreak, when
you parted with your parents, your rel
atives, your sweethearts and friends
when leaving the Green Isle, know
what it would have meant to you to
be able to secure profitable employ
ment at home."
The headquarters of the, Gaelic
league are in Dublin, and the. prlncl-'
pal director of its work is Dr. Doug
las Hyde, whose visit to this country
some years ago to collect funds for
and arouse interest In the organiza
tion Is well remembered by Irish
Americans. The traveling organizers
and teachers are expected to be good
dancers, singers and performers on
the pipes and to utilize their accom
plishments in the journeys through
out the island, for the revival of the
Gaelic concerts and dances, of the an
cient games of strength and skill and
of all the good old customs that are
ANCIENT IRISH COSTUME MODERNIZED.
not inconsistent with the spirit of
modern progress . is contemplated by
the leaguers. Thus the Irish bagpipe,
not long ago surviving only In a few'
remote and isolated regions, has7 reap
peared at the summer festivals, or
feiseanna, where youths and maidens
in the graceful old time costumes of
our illustrations may Te seen dancing
on the green to the strains of the
"drones" played perhaps by some
blind piper, the successor of the min
strel of long ago come into his own
again also, after the long years of
neglect that fell upon the practitioners
of the gentle art in a land long un
happy, now standing on the threshold
of prosperity. ,
THIS BOXER IS UNIQUE.
Referee Called Bout Draw, but Mcln
tyra Said He Was Beaten.
A new one, sprung by Mickey Mcln
tyre, a boxer well known in Boston,
should go down in fistic history along
with other epoch marking events, such
as the discovery of the solar plexus,
the ulna bone and the os magnum.
Mickey was boxing recently at Glace
Bay .with Tommy Furey of Attleboro,
and the referee culled the bout a draw.
Mickey protested and declared Furey
had beaten him and should be given
the decision. There is a movement to
have Mickey's head examined.

CONDEMN PROPERLY
A suit of the Portland Railway
Light & Power Company against Mary
Ann Munley and Arthur McMahon, for
the condemnation of property on the
west side of the river about three
miles from Oregon City, is being heard
by Judge Campbell. The defendants
allege that th. price offered is les
than the property is worth and the
railroad under its franchise has no
right of -condemnation. It is further
charged that the road the plaintiff en
tends building will not be for the pub
lic good but for the exclusive benefit
of a paper mill. The plaintiff is rep
resented by Franklin T. Griffith and
the defendant by W. R. King, A. King
and Judge Munley. '- -
