Hats off, young men! This may be their last march. Year by year the ranks grow, smaller as each in his torn answers to the call of the Great Ruler, who rewards for deeds of patriotism and loyalty to the flap which protects one's home, property and life. In the early '60s they were young and daring. They marched to the front with brave hearts, with every drop of blood, every muscle, every nerve tingling with patriotism. They were young then. They cheered and shot as they charged to save this then tottering Nation for us. They set aa example for us; the mission was not altogether their own. Today they march again to pay tribute to the comrades who fell by their sides and thus recall the days of their vigorous youth. A few more years and we will know them only in memory- So cheer them on, and cheer, too, for the veterans of the Spanish AmeririD war, who will continue the march of May 30 and decorate the graves of those who have served their country and bore its arms.

CRAWFORD MAKES RULING AtlomeT-Gr-neral Holds Uw Means Claa Rooms and Not Building. Board Refnaew similar Re quest From Lincoln. SUFFRAGE LEAGUE GROWS Rranlon of Leagues rianned Jane 7 In Portland. for The rrosrlnc Interest In tns suffrage movemenut waa apparent at Wednes day's meeting of tha Portland Equal Suffrage League held In the Selling Hlrsch building. With a membership quadrupled In a month, the organisa tion seems destined to make Itself a factor In tha suffrage work throughout the state aa well aa In Portland. Mrs. Mlllls Trumbull gave farts and figures relative to tha laws affecting the wage-earning women and children In Oregon and other states to prose that the women who are doing things to better conditions among the wags earners are practically all ardent suf frsglste. Mrs. Sara rields Ehrgott talked on her recent campaign In Central Ore gon. The meeting closed with a unan imous rote to aocept Mrs. Abigail Scott Tunlwar'( invitation to attend a reunion of suffrage leagues ef the state Fridsr. jnna 7. at 1 o'clock P. M. at the Portland Hotel. Dancln? will be allowed In the Wash ington High School gymnasium, that Is. student dances. The order was made at the laat meeting of the Board of Education, held at the Tilford building Tuesday night. The ques tion of the legality of such permission was raised at a previous meeting, but an opinion from Altorney-uenerai Crawford assured tha School Board that the law raises no barrier against IL The state law prohibits the use of schoolrooms for dancing. But Attorney-General Crawford makes a distlnc- ion between a schoolroom used for class purposes and a room In a school building, lie says: "Tha sentence, 'no dancing shall oe permitted In any schoolroom. Is sus ceptible of two constructions. Mrst. It might be the Intention or tne art to prohibit danrlng In any room or hulldlne used for any school Durcoses whatsoever, on the ground that asms la bad In principle and would be detri mental to the pupils In attendance. Second, construction might be placed on the sentence to the effect thst danc ing Is prohibited only In rooms where in claases are actually conducted, for the purpose of protecting furniture, fixtures, etc. Law Held te Mean Clean reams 'Although tha point Is a close one, i a mm vi hit- vpiuiwH iti.i ut a,tic-i construction Is the one that should be sdopted. and that atudent dances may be held rn the gymnasium of the Wash ington High School. This construction Is further borns out by the fact that If prohibition against dancing waa In tended to extend to all rooms and buildings In connection with tha school, such would be stated In the act. and the law would probably read, 'no danc ing shall permitted In any school building, or room therein.' In the sbsenre of such wording. I think the law simply Intended to prohibit danc ing In rooms wherein classes are. conducted.- The privilege of holding tha student dances In the gymnasium was granted upon the request of Vers- Wtndnesrle, of the executive committee of the as soclsted students of the school, and of H. H. Herdman. the principal. U are I a Utah Termed Dewa. It wti pointed nut to tr:e Board thst the state Institutions, University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural Col lege, use their gymnasiums and arm ories for this purpose and that com pelling the students to hold their dances elsewhere subjects them to the abuse of rowdies. At the same meeting the Board re fused the request of the students of Lincoln High School to hold a dance In that, building on the evening of June 26. The reason is aald to have been that the building is older than the Washington High School and not strong enough to bear the strain. Permission was given to celebrate the closing of the building as a high school with exercises In the assembly hall. Bells will be r-jng at 11:30. bugle calls will be sounded and four colored fire will be lighted in front of the building. MINER WOULD-BE SUICIDE Francis P. Driscoll Jumps From Multnomah Hotel Window, Lives. Francis P. Driscoll, said to be a miner of Alaska, jumped out of a fourth-story window of the Multnomah Hotel yesterday, and, after crashing through a skylight, landed on the floor of a vacant store below, practically unhurt. He has been in a demented condition for several days, and at St. Vincent's Hospital, where he was taken, it was found necessary to place him In straps for fear of a repetition of the act. Last night he was taken to the police station. A rather deep cut on the right arm is practically the only injury sus tained by DViscolL He was not even unconscious? His mind, however, has lost all power of concentration, and has been in that state for several days. Driscoll registered at the hotel Mon day, from Portland. For two days he kept himself locked in his room, and yesterday several , of the attaches, when Informed of his queer conduct, peered over the transom. They saw him before a mirror, putting his body and limbs through queer contortions. They demanded an opening but were refused, and the door was then taken out to effect an entrance. Driscoll either could not or would not speak, but he was forced in a chair, and a maid . went to get him. something to eat. While she was gone" he jumped out of the window. As far as known, he had no money with him. AND ONLY FIVE CENTS. , Quality, quality, nothing but quality "Sam Sloan" cigar, 5 centa. ECZEMA CURED IN 10 TO SO DAYS Tho Parts Medicine Co.. 2624 Pine bL.

" SAPOLIO The big cake that does not waste, scatter cr mell CLEANS, SCOURS, POLISHES FROM CELLAR TO GARRET Make Your Certain Future By Taking Up a Tract of Ten Acres or More of Rich Farm and Orchard Land Down at Are yon the typical man of the city who is "doing things" for" others; perhaps behind a ledger or twisting the handle of a machine or selling another man's merchandise on a salary t Perhaps you have put aside the hope of "going higher" and are facing a future of mediocrity just being what you are. There are hundreds who, fretting under the restraint of their employment, are constantly in search of something else. Such men are not of the inefficient type which dallies, but of the capable class who, failing to develop their imagination to the point of producing something new and useful, are nevertheless search ing the future, not for great financial reward, but for peace, happiness and contentment. For such men an alluring prospect is found in the farm. The life in the open, the opportunity to work for themselves and to create something, has a great appeal. It brings hope to the discontented and courage to those who are losing heart. There is no foreman or office manager to placate; no landlord to face; no time clock and no fear of losing a job. The promise of peace and plenty that is held out by the farm is a gennine promise. Farming is a business and must be conducted as a busi ness if profit is to be gained. Prime, rich land, such as you find down at COLUMBIA ACEES, will respond most generously to the intelligent application of labor, and the cost of living will go down instead of up. The homeseeker will find here the requisites that mean everything to home-making good roads, fine water, abundance of fuel, ideal surroundings, splendid transportation facilities, progressive neighbors, school, etc. Truly is COLUMBIA ACRE 8 an ideal proposition for those seeking a farm and orchard home. Low prices and easy terms make it possible for you to take up a tract right away. We meet you "half way," as it were, in assisting you to become an owner of land in this most desirable, fertile section. The Prices Are $40 to $60 an Acre and the Terms of Payment Easy considering the land, its location and advantages, the p ice and the terms, we say: "You can't do as well else where." We could tell you a great deal more about COLUMBIA ACEES, but we would rather have you go down and look it over for yourself. We '11 be glad to go down with you. Come in and get acquainted with us.
