FURNISH IN FAYOR
He Gains Ground While
Chamberlain Loses.
NO MISTAKES IN HIS CANVASS
Republicans Admire Pendleton Man's
Dignified Campaign, "While They
Resent Chnmberlnin's Attempts
to Split tne Party.
Two -weeks from today will he election
day. The Democratic campaign has been
on for three weeks, and the Republican
campaign Is Just halt over. The canxass
thus far developed nothing of a determin
ing character, but from all that can be
learned the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor is dally gaining strength, while the
stampede for Chamberlain has not yet
materialized. Everywhere Chamberlain
is warmly greeted, and In most places the
Democrats are enthusiastic over him, but
nowhere is there evidence that he will re
ceive any considerable number of Repub
lican votes. He must get Republican
votes, and lots of them, if he is to win.
Though he has never posed as a "good
fellow," W. J. Furnish seems to have a
wonderful power of making friends. Ho
is not a magnetic speaker, and. makes no
pretensions to oratory, but when his
meetings are over and the people gather
around to shake his hand and make his
acquaintance it Is evident that he has an
attractive personality and is making
friends by the hundred at every town in
-which he speaks. His dignified manner,
becoming to one who aspires to the high
office of chief executive of the state, com
mands the respect of every man -who sees
and hears him. Mr. Furnish has stead
fastly refused to use the undignified
methods in his canvass, and has refused
to permit any one to make a personal at
tack upon Mr. Chamberlain in his behalf.
The people generally admire the position
he has taken, and are favorably Impressed
with his methods of conducting a political
campaign.
Mr. Furnish has made no attempt to
catch votes by plays to the gallery: he
has made no promises which he may be
unable to fulfill; but as in his private
business, he makes promises which it Is
in his power to keep, and which he will
keep when elected. He ha3 made no mis
representations, has maligned nobody, and
treats his opponent with all the courtesy
that any one could ask. Maintaining a
demeanor that is creditable to a respon
sible and successful business man and citi
zen, he has in him 'the sort of material -of
which good Governors are made. From
the standpoint of practical politics it may
be said that he has not yet made a single
mistake which will cost him votes.
Mr. Chamberlain's campaign has been
of the wild and woolly sort popular at
the time, but not one that commands re
spect or makes votes. He has made sev
eral mistakes which have lost him the
confidence of Democrats and caused
friendly Republicans to doubt his sincer
ity. The first bad step he made was that
by which, he tried to get off his party
platform. Many of his Democratic friends
resent this. Then he promised great re
ductions in appropriations, and -when chal
lenged to specify in what particulars he
would make reductions he maintained a
silence as profound as the tomb. In view
of his refusal to point out the appropria
tions which he deems unnecessary and ex
travagant, the conclusion is inevitable
that his reform talk was for effect. He
has lost the confidence of thousands of
Republicans by trying to picture Gov
ernor Geer as a martyr for the purpose of
influencing Geer's friends to scratch Mr.
Furnish. Republicans generally do not
ask a Democrat to Interfere in their fam
ily affairs, especially when the purpose
is to secure an advantage for the Demo
cratic party. Chamberlain was nominated
with a hurrah and a flourish, but he has
been losing ground from the first day. of
his campaign.

NEAT POLITICAL CARD.
C. W. Hodson Issues a Booklet With
a "Personal Talk to Voters.
By far the neatest political card that
has been issued during the campaign vis
the booklet of C. W. Hodson, regular
Republican nominee for Representative.
It is neatly bound in olive gray cardboard,
through which peeps- a view of the
Statehouse at Salem, printed on an in
ner page with a full regular Legislative
ticket underneath. It contains a good half
tone likeness of Mr. Hodson, and bears
the union label, as well as the emblem:
"Vote for the Initiative and Referendum."
Mr. Hodson's personal talk to the voters
is exceedingly readable, and is .as follows:
"In becoming a candidate for Repre
sentative for Multnomah County on the
Republican ticket, I have not Impressed
myself with the idea that I was called
to 'fill a long-felt want," or that I had a
special 'mission to fulfill, aside from
that required of any good citizen under
like circumstances. I do not Seel 'smarter'
than my neighbors, nor do I feel that I
can fill the office, if elected, to any better
advantage than could hundreds of other
cood men who might have been selected.
The ppdtion Is one of honor alono (and
I consider it a high honor to be thus pre
ferred), as the emoluments fall far short
of meeting the legitimate expense incurr
ed in making a canvass, and of main
tenance at the Capital during a session
of the Legislature. I consider such ser
vice a duty to be performed the same as
service on juries and other public assign
ments. Some one must perform them,
and unless good men give them their
time and attention, vicious practices
creep in and the general public suffers
accordingly.
"In placing my name on their Legisla
tive ticket, the Republicans composing
the county convention did so without ex
acting a single pledge of any nature from
me. I was not questioned by anyone
as to my preference for United States
Senator, nor was I asked regarding any
measures that might possibly come be
fore the Legislature. Aside from the
obligations imposed by the party platform.
I will be as free to exercise my best
Judgment as before the meeting of the
convention. While this state of affairs
may be considered a novelty in the light
of political history in Multnomah County,
nevertheless it is true I have given no
pledge for or against any man for any
office, nor for or against any prospective
measure.
"In soliciting your support I do not
make extravagant promises as to what
gigantic things I will try to accomplish.
Rather would I consider it a virtue to
tell truthfully of the things I will not
do. I expect to be but one of 90 men.
They will all have Ideas of their own,
and until advised to the contrary I am
willing to concede their intentions will
be to promote the public welfare. If my
views run counter to theirs, and I feel
any measure presented has a tendency
not to be for the best, I shall certainly
oppose it with all the energy of which I
may bo possessed (and those who know
mo best know I do not fear to maintain
any position I take, even though I stand
alone): should I deem it proper and right.
it will find in me a ready and ardent
supporter. My judgment may err, but my
heart will be in the right place.
"I am a firm believer in every man
having an opportunity to express his in
dividual preference in the management
of party affairs by means of a -fair pri
mary election, at which his vote can be
cast as he desires and be counted and
returned exactly as he cast it. I favor
the correction by amendment of such de
ficiencies as may exist in our present
primary lawand will do all in my power
to extend its protecting iniiuence to sucn
an extent as to make it impossible for
any man or set of men to ever again
secure the managerial control of any
political party in the state and build up
a dictatorial machine which can .govern
the action of the Individual or nullify his
influence.
I believe in fairness and honesty in the
conduct of public affairs. I think I can
say truthfully that no man in the county
has spent more time and money in ferret
fnc nut and oxnoslnc the grafters hover
ing around our public treasury than I
have. I believe our county should pay as
much for the supplies it needs as does
any Individual, and no more. I believe
every citizen should have an opportunity
of furnishing those supplies, and not bo
subjected to the operation of the nefari
ous system of favoritism which has pre
vailed for so many years.
i "I have always been a plain business
man, having devoted myself during most
of my 22 years' residence in Portland to
the building up of the large blank book
and printing business with which I am
connected as manager. If elected as one
of your Representatives I will endeavor
to carry with me Into the discharge of the
duties of that office the same energy and
painstaking care I have been accustomed
to exercising in my private affairs. I do
not ask your support on the grounds of
being a politician, but on the grounds of
being a straightforward, successful busi
ness man. .
"Being a member of the great Republi
can party, naturally I will work In har
mony with that organization on all ques
tions of policy affecting the state and
Nation, as I feel its Influence always has
been and always will be exerted for the
best Interests of both.
"Trusting that I may be the recipient
of your favor at the election to be held
on June 2 next, and soliciting also your
cordial support of the entire Republican
ticket, I am, respectfully yours.
. C. W. HODSON."
IX LINE FOR WILLLVMSOX.
Grant, Harney and Mnlhcnr Counties
Will Stand by the Whole Ticket.
Judge L. R. Webster returned last even
ing from Eastern Oregon, where he has
been making campaign addresses in com
pany with Hon. J. N. Williamson, the Re
publican nominee for Congress. Judge
Webster says that no words of his can
do justice to the splendid treatment he
and Senator Williamson . received at the
hands of the people of- Grant, Harney and
Malheur Counties. They were considered
the guests of the people, and they couldn't
spend a cent while they were travllng
through Harney and Malheur Counties.
The people insisted upon supplying all
their needs and would not take pay for
anvthlne. At several places they were
met five miles from town' by a procession
of from 12 to 15 carriages and a band, and
were conducted to town with all the pomp
and demonstration that could be imag
ined. From Burns to Lawen, a distance
of 25 miles, they were accompanied by 16
carriage-loads of people, and the same
number went with them from Lawen to
Harney, 15 miles, and fron Harney to
Drewsey, 30 miles.
"Williamson be elected!" exclaimed
Judge Webster, when asked as to the
outlook. "Why, those people out there
would even vote the gateposts for him.
He will be elected by the biggest major
ity ever known in Eastern Oregon."
Judge- Webster says that from what he
fnuiri nh?prvp In his travels, the Republi
cans of Eastern Oregon are very desirous i
that Republican principles shall receive
an indorsement at the polls; they are
pleased to see an Eastern Oregon man at
the head of the ticket, and they will vote
their tickets straight."
TRUCKLES" TO GEER SEXTIMEXT.
In Doing So, George E. Chamberlain
.Throws Down C. E. S. Wood,
Republicans are astonished and Demo
crats not a little displeased at the play
George E. Chamberlain made at Macleay
In Marion County. Chamberlain has been
making use of every conceivable campaign
trick to catch Republican votes, but no
'one would have suspected that he would
allow his desire for his own advancement
to lead him to stick a knife Into the DemT
ocratic candidate for United States Sena
tor, C. E. S. Wood.
Macleay is the home precinct of Gover
nor Geer. In order to stir up the feelings
of Governor Geer's friends for political
purposes, Mr. Chamberlain told how badly
Gcer had been treated in being turned
down by the state convention and then
went on to predict that this mistreatment
would make him United States Senator.
Chamberlain hoped by posing as a friend
and sympathizer of Geer, not only to
make votes for Geer, but also to get those
same votes for himself at the lose of votes,
to tho Republican nominee. It is diffi
cult to see where the Democratic candi
date for Senator profits by this sort of a
play.
A prominent Republican at Macleay has
written the state headquarters to say that
Chamberlain's attempt to use their friend
ship for Geer to help his own ctuise has
had a reactive effect, and while they will
stand loyally by their own townsman,
many who had Intended to vote for Cham
berlain now they will not do so.
Everybody who knows anything about
politics knows that If Geer had been re
nominated and had been In the race
against Chamberlain, the Democratic can
didate would now be out on the stump at
tacking Geer's official record with still
greater vigor than he is displaying in his
campaign against Mr. Furnish. It was a
matter of common talk among" Democrats
that Chamberlain hoped to see Geer re
nominated so that he could use in hl3
campaign the charges he Is making
against the state administration. Now, to
1 pose as a friend and sympathizer of'Gcer
shows not only his Insincerity, but his
disregard of bis obligations to his own
running mate, Mr. C .E. S. Wood.
PRAISE FOR JUDGE I R. "WEBSTER.
W. M. Colvig-, of Jacksonville, JPays
Tribute to His Former Associate.
W. M. .Colvig, of Jacksonville; is warm
in his praises of Judge L. R. Webster, the
Republican nominee for County Judge of
Multnomah County. For many 'years, Mr.
Colvig practiced in Judge Webster's courts
and though he was opposed to him in pol
itics, he formed a very high opinion of
the judge's ability and sense of honor.
Mr. Colvlg's acquaintance wjth Judge
Webster was formed not only through
their relationship as practicing attorney
and trial Judge, but as friends who were
thrown together In many a long weary
stage-ride across the mountains and plains
of Southern Oregon. He la therefore fa
miliar with every phase of "Webster's
character. In speaking .of Judge -Webster
yesterday, Mr. Coivig said:
"L. R. Webster, the Republican candi
date for County Judge of Multnomah
County, 1b an old-time friend of mine. For
eight years he presided as the Circuit
Judge of our judicial district. 1 was
prosecuting attorney under him during
nearly all of that time, and had full
knowledge of his conduct and management
of the office of Circuit Judge. A more con
scientious judge than he was cannot.be
found. Judge Webster Is always ambi
tious to succeed. He is never Idle. He is
I one of the most studious men I ever knew.
He wants to know all about every propo-
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
The -sensible man who contrasts the Republican policy of sending
thousands of teachers to the Philippines, and extending the largest pos
sible measure of local self government tp the Filipinos with the Demo
cratic policy of Inciting Filipinos to renewed killing by attacks on our
Army and mock expressions of sympathy, -mjust realize that the honor
and glory of our country Is
SAFE ONLY IN REPUBLICAN HANDS
sltlon brought to his consideration, every
minute detail. I sometimes trust to luck.
Judge Webster never does. He believes
that anything can be achieved by hard
work. It requires no effort for b.lm to say
'No' to a proposition that should be de
nied. "If elected,, he will not "be the tool of
any ring or combination, to exploit 'the
public service, but a careful, honest and
faithful, servant of the people of Multno
mah County."
WILL NAMES GO OX TICKET?
County" Clerk Undecided About Sew
Candidates for State Senator.
County Clerk Swetland is in doubt as to
whether he has any right to recognize
the nominations of George T. Myers and
H. B, "Nicholas as candidates for Inman's
seat In the Senate. The certificates of
nomination were left with him yesterday,
within the statutory limitation of time,
and the question with him Is whether he
shall file them and place the names on
the official ballot.
The point he raises is that he has no
official knowledge of any vacancy in the
office formerly held by Inrnan. Inman
tendered his resignation to Governor Geer,
but the County Clerk has no other knowl
edge of that fact than the reports he has
received in an unofficial way. The Gov
ernor has not notified the County Clerk,
and Mr. Swetland Is not sure that he has
a right to act without official Informa
tion. The statutes provide that an office shall
become vacant upon the resignation of an
Incumbent. No acceptance of the resig
nation is required, nor Is the Governor re
quired to give notice of the resignation
unless a special election Is necessary In
order to fill the vacancy.
The statutes prescribe that courts shall
take judicial knowledge of the ""accession
to office -of all legislative, executive and
Judicial officers, and they require no evi
dence, written or otherwise, to establish
the fact, but there is no provision that
courts shall take judicial knowledge of a
resignation. The County Clerk, as well
as all other citizens. Is therefore presumed
to know that Inman went into office, but
It does not appear that he is expected to
know of the resignation unless he receives
official notification. The County Clerk
must make up theofflclal ballot during
the first three days of this week, and in
that time will decide whether he Is- au
thorized to place the names of Myers and
Nicholas, on the ticket. -
.THE RESIGNING CHRISTIAN. i
Rev. Hnbcr Ferguson Addresses
Large V. M. C. A. Audience.
A large and attentive crowd of young
men listened to an interesting address on
"The Reigning Christian" by Rev. Huber
Ferguson, pastor of the First United
Presbyterian Church, yesterday afternoon
in the- Y. M. C. A. auditorium. A cop
traltp solo by Miss Evelyn Hurley, "Abide
With Me," was very highly enjoyed.
In his address Rev. Mr. Ferguson first
brought out the qualities expected in. a
ruler. He must be a man powerful and
splendid, and must be resourceful In him
self. He must be a type of man that will
command universal admiration.
"Every Christian," said he, "should
be in his own life what the king is in
his .kingdom. He should have power to
overcome temptation, be splendid in, his j
example as a Christian worKer, resource
ful in giving assistance to his fellow man,
and as truly an Ideal Christian as the
king should be an ideal man."

The Republican candidates in Jackson
County will begin a canvass of the county
this morning, and will close their cam

have already begun their canvass and the
Republicans will follow closely upon their

Very .flattering reports have been re

addrws. delivered there Saturday after
noon by George W. Stapleton, of Portland.
Mr. Stapleton's arguments In behalf of the
Republican ticket and Republican princi
ple? were ably presented and were lis
tened to-by an appreciative audience.
The report of Judge Williams' speech at
Cordray's Theater Saturday night con
tained 'an error in that it quoted the
speaker aa saying that Abraham Lincoln
was 'once a Democrat and became a Re
publican. Judge Williams named Grant.
Logan and Stanton as eminent men who
had eft the Democratic party to. Join the
Republicans. In sneaklnc of Stanton,
Judge Williams referred to him as the
man to whom the success of the war was
due more than to any other man outside
of the Army, save Abraham Lincoln. The
reporters-misunderstood the speaker, to In
clude Lincoln's name In the list.
Speaking of the Democratic rally at
Independence recently, the Enterprise
says:
"Hon. George E. Chamberlain, candi
date for Governor on the Democratic
ticket, then made the speech of the day.
He Is a, pleasant and witty speaker and
quite an orator. It was dlsappolntlng.how
ever, to hear a candidate for the exalted
office of Governor of the State of Ore
gon confine himself to petty personalities
rather than to the discussion of the
great principles and problems that are
before the people. This he did not under-
take to 'do. Almost his entire argument
was the: belittling of his opponent and
tho exaltation of self. Sometimes It Is
necessary to blow our own horn, but as
a rule It Is better to let others do It for
us, especially If one Is before the people
for. the .dignified office of Governor.
'W. T. .Hume left last evening for North
eastern Oregon, where he will make sever
al addresses in behalf of the Republican
ticket. He Is an able campaigner and
his addresses will be enjoyed by those
who hear him.
WHIT SUNDAY IS OBSERVED
Services Held In Catholic and Epis
copal Churches.
The Whitsunday festival was observed
yesterday at St. Mark's Episcopal Church.
It was. aUo the anniversary of the organ
ization of the St. Mark's Chapter of the
Brotherhood of St, Andrew.
The Rev. P. K. Hammond, pastor of St.
Paul's Episcopal Church, of Oregon Clfy,
preached the evening service. His text
was taken from Acts xi:l-3: "When the
day of Pentecost was fully come they were
all with one accord In one place, and sud
denly there came a sound from heaven as
of a' rushing, mighty wind, and It filled
all the house where they were sitting. And
there appeared nnto them cloven tongues
like .as of fire, and it sat upon each of
them. And they were fjlled with the Holy
Ghost, and began to speak with other
tongues as the spirit gave them utter
ance.'" Mr. Hammond spoke in part as
follows:
"In the creed we say 'we believe In the
Holy Ghost.' Do we thoroughly appreci
ate the meaning of these words? When
the ..Savior went from his disciples he
bade them, 'Stay in Jerusalem until you
are given power from on high.' These
disciples had been with him during many
yenrs of his life's work, and were thor
oughly imbued with his spirit. They had
absolute faith and unbounded love, yet
were lacking in power.
"In this example there is a suggestion
'for the Christian of today. We may have
Christ in our soul. We may love and
trust him, yet be lacking In power. The
disciples were not changed at pentecost.
Their strength was supplemented by
Christ. So with us; In order to be strong
we must have the Holy Spirit. The story
of the gospel has worked wonders in clv
lllzallon and great transformation Is yet
to come wherever Its power Is felt. We
are promised that the spirit of Christ is
with- us, and In order to make his Influ
ence fej(t we must have the Holy Gh6st
and should diligently pray for its strength.
'When the day of pentecost was fully
come they were all of one accord In one
peace.-' Why cannot our people on com
munion day be 'all in one place of one
accord," there to entreat the power of the
Holy Ghost? Then, Indeed, would the
power of our work be felt." -
The pastor, Rev. J. E. Simpson, then
briefly reviewed the history of the Broth
erhood ;,of St. Andrew, and urged the St.
Mark's Chapter to be faithful in their
work. He said:
"In St. James' Church of Chicago the
young men undertook to awaken a great
er interest In the church work. They
were so successful that their work at
tracted much attention, and a fraternity
wa sorganized known as the Srotherhood
of St. Andrew. The movement grew until
today there are over 16,000 men in .the
world who have taken the oath of the
brotherhood, and for a time the influence
of their work, was incalculable. But so
great was the enthusiasm that at first
many were taken in who should not have
been and who were only enthusiastic for
the" time being. Soon the work began to
lag, and every one commenced to lose
faith. The old officers resigned and new
ones went In their places. Under their
rule things went wrong. The magazine
of the brotherhood was allowed to be
come very poor indeed, the management
grew to be the worst of mismanagement,
and many were fearful of the failure of
the organization. It was discussed as to
whether St Mark's should withdraw from
the, general organization. All felt, how
ever, that the Idea embodied was a good
one, arid that mistakes made could yet
be corrected, and it was decided to stay
through the dark days.
"Of late the management has gone Into
new hands.'' There Is a process of cleans
ing going on which will remove the un
desirable element, and prospects are fair
for bringing the brotherhood back to Its
old standard. There is -untold strength In
p'rayer, and If we remain faithful we
can do a great good in this work."

It got under way to any great extent. It
was first seen by the neighbors who got
out their garden hose and checked the
fire.
An alarmi was struck from box 218, and
the companies responded. The firemen
chopped Into the roof and extinguished
what remained burning underneath. The
damage Is smalt.
There was a heavy breeze at the time,
and had the fire got a. start It would have
been serious. The olf portion stands on
the south side of the newer structure, and
the fire would soon have been carried into
this part, which is now being completed.
The cause of the fire la not known It Is
supposed, however, to have resulted from
a crack in the chimney, made whlier
the building was being moved, or by a
spark falling on the roof. The new church
will be completed by tho middle of next
month.

a meeting yesterday afternoon at 64 Grand
avenue, and completed a general pro
gramme for the dedication of the site of-
the proposed monument In Lone J? lr ceme
tery. Memorial day. M. L. Pratt presided.
After reading the minutes of the previous

L. A. Brown, reported the following pro

Singing by Veteran Male Quartette.

Address, by Rev. H. J. Talbott.
Dedication, jspeaker not yet selected.
Chorus, school children.
Benediction. s
Mr. Pratt said that the ground for about
21 feet, square would be inclosed with a
rope, in the center would be placed a
-flag, representing the monument. The four
wars, Civil, Mexican, Indian and Spanish-American,
would be represented at the
four corners of the Inclosed square by a
veteran from each war respectively. The
speaker will dedicate" each side of the
ground, and as this is done the veterans
will salute.
The committee on speakers reported that
Pev "H. .T Tnlbntt had nccented the invi
tation tq make the main address at the
dedication, but the speaker who will dedi
cate the four sides of the monument had
not yet been selected. There may be some
changes In the programme to conform to
the G- A. R. exercises. The association
adjourned to meet again next Sunday af
ternoon at 3 o'clock.
GRAVE-MARKERS ARE READY.
The First One Will Designate Lnst
Resting Place of Gov. Abernethy.
Markers for the graves of Ipdlanar
veterans are now ready for distribution.
One man took away seven, and orders
from the outside will now be filled as far
as possible. Camp McMHIen has a com
mittee out which will look out for the
marking of graves in Lone Fir and other
cemeteries about Portland. The camp will
undertake to mark 'the graves In cases
where there are no relatives, or where,
the relatives are so situated that they
cannot do so. The cost of a marker Is 0
cents.
At the last meeting of McMHIen Camp,
It was voted that the first marker should
be used to designate the grave of Gover
nor Abernethy, which Is In RIvervIew
cemetery. It Is considered fitting that his
grave should be the first to have this
honor.
Captain' J. H. McMHIen, who was among
the first to answer the call of Governor
Abernethy for volunteers In the Cayuse
War of 1817-1S, expressed his satisfaction
over the movement to mark the graves of
Indian War veterans. He said that the
effort was receiving attention all over
Oregon, and even elsewhere, and he had
no doubt that every veteran's grave will
be designated before the year Is closed,
and many before Memorial day.
ALBIXA'S FAIR SITE OFFER.
Ccntrnl Board of Trade "Will Urge
Abram &. Knox Tract Be Selected.
The Central Alblna Board of Tradef is
not discouraged in its efforts to secure
the site" of the 1903 Fair on the Abram &
Knox Tract. The directors of the Fair
have examined the tract, and now the
next movement will be to clear off the
underbrush on that part which, lies above
the river, so that there will be an unob
structed view of the harbor and surround
ings. One of the features of the offer of this
cite is the. purchase by the people of Al
blna of a 10-acre tract In this large tract
as sites for any buildings which may be
of a permanent character. This 10-acre
piece, sa-3 President M. E. Thompson,
will be selected from the part that lies
on the high ground overlooking the river.
It would be a considerable undertaking
for the people of Alblna to raise the mon
ey for the 10 acres, but the Board ot
Trade has assurance that It can be raised
if the directors choose that site.
"With this offer," said a prominent
member of the Board, "together with the
natural advantages of this site, including
sewerage and accessibility by railway and
otherwise, we hope to secure recognition
and favorable consideration."
TEACHERS JOIN THE GRANGE.
Principals Bcwland and Lance Will
rfoon Walk Through Stnhblc Field.
Many of the teachers of Multnomah
County have become members of the
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry. County
School Superintendent Robinson Is a mem
ber of Gresham Grange, as also Is Princi
pal Anderson, of Gresham school. At the
next meeting of Evening Star Grange,
which meets In Multnomah Hall, on the
Section road, E. M. Lance, principal of the
Russellville, and N. W. Bowland, princi
pal of the Montavllla schools, Will walls
"through the high stubble field." They
filed their applications at t)ie last meet
ing, and no doubt will be elected.
Both are on the anxious seat and trem
bling to know what Is In store for them
on that occaslcff, and have been inquiring
on the sly what they are up against. They
have been told that in the first degree
they will have tocarry around the hall
a COO-pound plow, and that In the other
degrees the conditions will be even more
oneroua, but. beyond this they have ac
quired no Information. However, their
apprehension and anxiety Increase as the
time for their initiation approaches, main
ly from the fact that a considerable num
ber oftheir own pupils are members ot
the Grange, and will be present, and wit
ness them "go up against the great mys
tery." FREE DELIVERY" ROUTES.
Inspector Investigating Territory,
Preparatory to Establishment.
E. C. Clements of Portland, Investigated
the rural free delivery route at Falrview
Saturday, and also examined three appli
cants for the position of carriers J. II.
Schram, Wade Osborn and Edward
Palmer. The result will beknown in
about tw;o 'weeks. It Is expected that the,
service will go Into effect July 2.
There are many other-dletricts to be ln-
rpected, including Mllwaukle, Mount Ta
bor and the Peninsula. Petitions for free
delivery at Piedmont. Woodlawn and the
Peninsula district were sent to Washing
ton many months ago, but so far no action
has. been taken. This district will be un
der, the Portland postoffice when the free
delivery service is inaugurated. The resi
dents are very anxious for free mail de
livery, and, belnff Inside the city limits,
they think that they are entitled tothe
service. At Mount Tabor the petition was
for another carrier, so that the whole of
district No. 5 could be served.

GAS FACTOEIES
In' People Who Do 'Sot Know How to
Select Food and Drlnlc Properly.
On the coffee question a lady says: "I
used to be so miserable, after breakfast
that I did not know how to get" through
the day. Life was a burden to me. When
I" tried to sleep I was miserable by hav
ing horrible dreams followed by hours of
wakefulness. Gas would rise on my stom
ach and 1 would belch almost continually.
Then every few weeks I would have a
long siege of sick headaches. I tried a
list of medicines and physicians without
benefit.
- "Finally I concluded to give up my cof
fee and tea altogether and "use Postum
Coffee. The first cup was a failure. It
was wishy-washy and I offered to give
the remainder of the package to any one
who would take It.
"I nqticod later on In one of the adver
tisements that Postum should be boiled
at least 15 minutes to make it good. I
asked the cook how she made It and she.
said: 'Just the same as I did tea. being
careful not to let it steep too long.'
"I read the directions and concluded
Postum had not had a fair trial, so we
made a new lot and boiled it 15 or. 20
minutes. That time It came to the table
a different beverage, and was so delicious
that we have been using It ever since.
"My sick headaches left entirely, as did
my sleepless nights, and I am now a dif
ferent woman." Name given by. Postum
