GOWN FOR SPRING BRIDE.
For the spring bride a design is
given today which lends itself, to an
expensive development in, 'Say silk or
crepe de chine or a plainer render
ing ia a less expensive albatross or
cashmere. The body of the gown has
the appearance of being one with the
tunic and opens over a vest and und
erskirt of chiffon or mousseline de
soie. Bands of heavier silk fold back
from the front and with the sleeves
are daintily embroidered in a color
contrasting with the gown. The
sleeves and bottom of the tunic whose
lower edge slopes gradually backward
and downward into a slight train are
finished with a self-tone silk fringe.
DIFFICULTIES.
To conquer difficulties is to in
crease our pleasures. When ad
vancing toward any proposed object
or when we see with satisfaction the
completion of some favorite scheme
the mind feels tranquil and con
tented and looks forward with
pleasure to the coming day.
There's the R'u'o.
"Why is it that you are so strongly
opposed to extending to women the
right to vote?"
"My wife has become a suffragette.'
"Well, what of It? Do you find that
she neglects the children or that sbeJ
isn't paying,' enough attention to the
business of running the house?"
"No; it's not that. She's become so
blamed well informed ou public mat
ters that I have to keep busy reading
all the time in order to prevent her
from finding out my 'ignorance concern
ing such things." Judge.
Fungus Slippers.
Before the discovery of lucifer
matches a large hoof shaped fungus
growing on the trunks of trees was
used throughout northern Europe for
makiug amadou or tinder. The thick,
brown, wood flesh of the same fun
gus, cut into slices and beaten until It
assumes the appearance of felt. Is
used at the present day in some parts
of Germany for- the manufacture of
chest protectors, caps, purses, bed
room slippers and various other articles.
The Cause of Earthquakes.
When there is an earthquake the
Tibetans know just how it happened.
There are evil spirits. "Some of them
are gigantic brutes a' mile in height,
with tiny mouths which prevent them
swallowing even the smallest crumb
of any kind of food. Naturally they
suffer from hunger, and in their agon
ized writhings they are the immediate
cause of earthquakes." -

Much more interest is showing in
the mohair trade at this time, and var
ious prices are ruling. The competi
tion between buyers at southern Ore
gon points is causing a stronger feel
ing to prevail among holders in other'
sections of the Willamette valley and
dealers say that it is impossible to do
business at this time.
While as high as 36c a pound is
being offered for "hair" ia southern
Oregon, where there is a fight between
a banking interest and a local mill,
buyers from the east are now offering
over 34c a pound, and say that this is
all the market can stand at present.
As the outside mills consume the bulk
of the supplies, it is aparent that the
price will be of their making after the
competition and fight among local dear

To The Legal Voters of Clack
amas Co. Ore.
Gentlemen: '
A man must be judged by his own words and deeds, not by the
words of his enemies or false friends. ' '
For weeks Christ Schuebel has been attacking me most shamefully.
Some person or persons must be supplying him with large sums of
money and his vocation surely does not keep him very busy since he
finds so much time to roam over the whole county telling others how
very, very good he himself is, and how despicable his opponents are.
This I could not do. I have neither time nor money nor "brass"
enough to attack and slander those who have always been friendly and
- kind to me. Neither can I understand how a person can afford to
' spend hundreds of dollars for the small recompensation he can-honestly
get if elected to the legislature.
Mr. Schuebel tries to make his audience believe that the "interests"
or certain parties have "bought" me. Be not deceived ! Not. I but
he has been bought, if signs fail not, and because he is used to being
bought and being sold, as everybody knows, he made an effort to buy
me in my own house. This happened March 31, 1912.
If I am elected, I shall be pleased, and I shall always remember
my friends in thankfulness. If I am not elected, I shall harbor no
bitter thoughts against anyone in my heart.
!.
I never was a politician, desire to be none, and never shall be one.
If elected, I shall seek to promote the general welfare, as I have prom
ised, in a business way and without aspect of person.
The legal voters must decide whether they want honorable, ex
perienced and successful men, chosen from their ranks, as their rep
resentatives, or whether they want politicians and demagogues, who
' seek only their own honor and welfare, who trample on the rights and
honor of their fellowmen, and who are the cause that our political
life is as corrupt as it is.
I declare and prove by my daily life that all attacks, which Mr.
Schuebel is making on me, are malevolent lies, manufactured by him
self and sown broadcast, contrary to his own better knowledge.
His whole life long Gust Schnoeer was", and is, a laboring man.
Every laboring man must know that Gust Schnoerr will always plead
the cause and fight valiantly for the just rights and interests of the
laborer. Look up his past record, and if elected watch his work and
look for results in the legislature. '
