FEDERAL BUILDING
This matter is now before Congress
again for consideration. Hon Geo. E.
Chamberlain, Senator from Oregon,
succeeded in getting the bill through
the Senate and it is now in the hands
of the House for attention. j
Th nmn,ti, nrn f
House some time ago caucussed
against a Buildings Bill, but through
the efforts of our Congressmen, Laf
ferty and Hawley, particularly Mr.
Hawley, the bill has been dug up and
is again among the early possibilities.
The President of the Commercial
Club of Oregon City has wired all
four of State's representatives re
questing continued aid, reciting again
our great need for a post office build
ing. WELFARE OF THE FARMER
In a speech at St. Paul, Col. Roose
velt declared that his plans to better
country life have not been carried
out, and that in regard to conserva
tion his policy was "completely re
versed by the appointment of Mr.
Ballinger and the dismissal of Gif
ford Pinchot." Not many farmers
have given much thought to the per
sonalities referred to, or take special
interest in them now. They remem
ber the colonel's utterances while
president on the subject of improving
life on the farms. The main point to be
impressive. The main point to be
made in regard to farmers is that the
republican party has always been
mindful of their interests and re
joiced in their prosperity. During
the administration of Mr . Lincoln
slavery was ended on the farms of
the south. A homestead law was
passed that has benefitted millions
who have thus been enabled to make
a good living on the soil, and gain a
substantial competency.
American farmers, as a whole, were
never more prosperous than now, and
their land values were never better.
A comparison of the present fruits of
their labor with the results of any
former period disproves the idea that
they have suffered., in the least from
the causes named by the strenuous
orator from Minnesota. Farmers are
a deliberate ciass in making up their
opinions, and skeptical as to abstract
theories on their business from those
who have never been practically in- j bis own personal interests first but
. . .. . , . 1 some don't realize that the best way
taged in it. They -think that essays tQ advance his own interests is to
on their social needs from the same support, and boost, made in Ore
class are not as good as their own gon products.
DUCATION IS THE ONE
GREAT INDUSTRY . OF
THE HUMAN RACE, AND
WE ARE THE SUBJECTS
OF EDUCATION FROM THE CRA
DLE TO THE GRAVE.
If we get all our education in
school we will have a short jour
ney and a small career.
The function of education is to
DEVELOP POWER- in the hu
man being. The child must learn
to get dominion and power, and
for. this reason he is taught the
fundamental laws of nature.
Full efficiency means mastery
and power. It isn't so much that
you are teaching a boy to push a
un or a plane as that, you are
TEACHING HIM TO DO THINGS. We have broken down the
old notion that nothing will produce culture but a certain kind of treat
ment. We are just coming to see that we can't put all the boys and
girls through the same course of training, v
Teachers cannot guarantee your product I know a college presi
dent who sent his son to an agricultural college, and the boy became
a physician.
IT IS THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION TO LEAD THE YOUTH TO
EXPRESS HIMSELF. THE MAN WHO PUTS A THOUGHT INTO
PRINT THAT YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND HAS COMMITTED A
CRIME AGAINST SOCIETY EDUCATION SHOULD FIT PEOPLE TO
EXPRESS THEMSLEVES BRIEFLY AND CLEARLY.
conclusions, based on hard work and
actual experience.
Fifteen years ago the republican
party resumed control of all depart
ments of the government, and re
tained it until last year. The party
is not displaced yet except in one
branch of congress. November will
restore it to full authority, or divide
the legislative and executive power,
or give the democratic party both
houses ot congress ana the ' presi
dency, an advantage it has not held
in more than fifty years, save during
two years of Cleveland's second term.
Have farmers forgotten those years
of deep depression in all business,
and most trying of all in theirs? It
is unlikely. They are raising crops
exceeding $8,000,000,000 a year in val
ue and not bothering about a change.
Live Wirelets
(By Edgar Bates.)
Tuesday felt
but it wasn't
like 90 in the shade
Better sharpen that lawn mower to
night. i Just why do they call it "patieiVe
I poker" Our old standby game re
I quires a lot of patience, and bluff too,
but the game has always been known
simply as "poker" Maybe poker is so
slow for the women folks that they
nave to have an unusually amount of
patience.
A recent music catalogue discloses
the fact that there are already more
than 300 pieces which have been spec
ified as particular kinds of "rag" a
"rag" might be all right but no one
wants to "rag" about this public ele
vator business.
Will the city be able to obtain wat
er to sprinkle the streets this sum
mer. Heretofore there has always
been a squabble with the P. R. L. & P.
Company who claim that all water ob
tainable in the summer is needed -to
turn their water wheels. Seems a
kind of a joge doesn't it when we
have a big river right in front of us.
The only candidates who are doing
anything these days are the automo
bile candidates.-
It seems a pity that? Canemah Park
should have gone to the discard. A
prettier spot, naturally pretty would
be hard to find even in this pictures
que Oregon country, and thousands
of persons used to spend pleasant
Sundays when this favorite picnic
ground was in good condition.
The water is still a bit too high
for rod fishing for salmon at the falls
and every sport in town is eagerly
awaiting the fall of the lower river.
Haven't hear a word of the base
ball team this season. In times past
Oregon City has had teams of which
she ha3 been proud and it is hoped
that the boys will soon get out to
practice and get into good form.
' 'Single tax hasn't even been "whis
pered" for more than ten whole days.
A few more days of this weather
will bring out the hammocks and
bathing suits.
Oregon City didn't have any special
May Day Queen but boasts of sever-
al "queens" who are deserving of
homage the whole year 'round.
"Oregon First" is a mighty good
slogan and every citizen of this fair
state should try to boost home prod
ucts. Instead of being in favor of out
side products, the made in Oregon ar
ticle is often superior to the import
ed article. It is of course admitted
that each individual man considers

The Informal Dinner at Home.
What woman does not remember the
failure of her first dinner party a
failure which seemed to cast a gloom
over life for a long time afterward?
First the bell rang btfore you were
dressed to receive the first arrivals;
then the baby began to cry so loud
every one couldn't belp but bear ber.
After that the cook spilled soup all
over the range and filled the house
with a bad odor; then the waitress,
usually so cool, lost her presence of
mind and dropped a tray in the tiny
pantry, breaking the dishes with a ter
rific crash. After this catastrophe one
disaster succeeded another until your
husband turned and looked at you
with surprise and reproach in his eyes.
You, poor creature, bad been working
day and night to get up this dinner,
and you weren't responsible in any
way for any one of the failures.
After this first fatal attempt at en
tertaining you werg probably sick for
a week.
Now, a failure of this kind may seem
of no moment to the average ma, for
he. as a rule, knows little and cares
less about the social side of his home
All he wants is to be made comfort
able, to find a warm, clean home await
ing him and a good dinner, presided
over by a charming wife.
Of course he likes to invite his
friends to dinner once in awhile, just
to show them what a jolly little place
he has of his own. A man wants and
usually gets all the enjoyment of en
tertaining and none of the troubles
that depend thereon. It is the wife
who must struggle with the problems
of domestic defeat or victory.
Considering all that Is expected of
her, the average woman does very well
indeed. She must be not only a wife
and mother, but a housekeeper and a
trainer of servants; she must be the
mind of the home, even though she has
maids to furnish the hands; she must
never be fussy, never .grotesque;. sne
must steer her ship through stormy
seas; she must be ready to meet any
emergency that may present itself for
her solution. To accomplish all this
the young housekeeper must learn first
to live well every day. Her tablecloth
must be fresh, her glass and silver
clean; a few flowers must be on her
table to make it dainty; a few dishes
well cooked. If this is the daily rou
tine then the unexpected guest will not
cause alarm. Little will need to be
added to entertain any visitor.
"But we live so simply 1 couldn't en
tertain," sighs the young bride, think
Ing perhaps of the functions she used
to attend before consenting to share
Jack's humble fortunes. She fears that
her friends will compare her station
unfavorably with'theirs and dreads to
invite a few guests to her simple borne
dinner.
If the truth were known that simple
home dinner, cooked and served with
out pretension, can be made as at
tractive and successful an entertain
ment as the elaborate feast of a prince.
Very often its very simplicity is its
greatest charm to the guest who is
stifled, with luxury at home. There is
about it a note of intimacy and under
standing which is flattering to the one
asked to partake of the simple repast
Dress Etiquette.
The skirt must be neatly fastened
at the waist line so that no pins or
books and eyes will show.
The lines of the cheapest and sim
plest gowus or suits can always be
.good if the wearer will only superin
tend the makiug or alterations with
intelligence.
See that a -long sleeve fits snugly at
the wrist
See that a turnover collar lies fiat
and close. ,
See that the skirt lines are straight
and not curving in below the knees at
the back or bulging out on the front
See that the bottom of the skirt
hangs evenly all around.
See that there are no missing but
tons or hooks and eyes.
Never let a skirt sag at the waist
line; keep everything trim and neat
Then see that hat suit or gown,
gloves and shoes correspond in style
and color.
Never wear a very dressy hat with
a severely made tailored suit
Never wear tan colored shoes with a
velvet suit or with an elaborate suit
or gown of any kind. and. of course,
never wear them with house gowns or

far afield, even if their starting point is London itself. Within little
more than an hour's railway journey from the metropolis one may find
secluded hamlets where the automobile is almost unknown and where
farm work is done with the aid of lumbering oxen. On Housedean farm, at
Falmer, in Sussex, oxen are so employed, being better adapted than horses to
heavy work on the roiling chalk downs. Their remarkable strength is shown
by the ease with which the team shown in the illustrations haul a load of ten
tons up the steep hillsides or plow the chalky soiL The wheat harvest in tlii
beautiful southern county would be an interesting scene even if the draft aiii

great sluggish oxen, with their deliberate movements, lend additional charm
to the rural landscape. The teamster who stands beside the oxen is -worthy
of notice. He has worked on the same farm without a holiday for forty yeais
and is still healthy and active.
. EDDY'S WILL
UPHELD BY COURT
CONCORD, N. H., May 7. The
clause of the will of Mrs. Mary Baker
G. Eddy, founder of the Christian
Science Church, bequeathing the res
idue of her estate, valued at $2,000,
000, to the First Church of Christ,
Scietist, of Boston, creates a "valid
trust," in the opinion of the Supreme
Court of New Hampshire, announced
today.
The court 1olds that the "residuary
clause is not a gift to a church, but
a gift for religious purposes, sustain
able as a charitable trust"
The court's decision was given in
the bill in equity brought by George
W. Grover, of Lead, S. D., Mrs. Eddy's
son, in the Merrimack County Super
ior Court to have the residuary clause
declared invalid on the ground that
it violated a New Hampshire statute
limiting the amount which can. be be
queathed to any single church.

VALLEY SPUDS CO
TO
Potato market is so quiet for out
side demand that many consignments
are being made by Willamette grow
ers, to the San Francisco market.
During the past few days a very
heavy amount of stock has been going
in that direction on commissin and
has had the effect of defeating the
very purpose that the growers sought
the obtaining of better values.
It is quite natural that potato deal
ers who are "long" on supplies of
their own purchase, are not going to
sell the other fellow's stock first when
the outlook is poor. On the other
han consignments to houses that are
not "long" means that many will take
advantage of the situation and break
prices to punish speculators but all
at the expense of those who consign.

eral locally.
