of this Union waa acquired for the use of
our citizens by the action of Mr. Matthieu

that sturdy and well-known pioneer. In his
commendable undertaking to create wide
spread interest in the establishment of a
great National highway along the line of
the "Oregon trail," to be known as "-Pioneer
"Way," and urge our representatives in Con

to secure a National appropriation therefor.
"Resolved, That we, as members of this
association, being citizen of the entire "Ore

member of Congress from the States of the
Pacific Northwest to use every effort pos
sible to secure an amendment to the pen
sion laws to the end that the Indian War
veterans of the North Pacific Coast may be
pensioned upon the same basis as the sol
diers of the Civil War of 1861-60. Anything
less than this is. in our opinion, rank in
justice and savors of class legislation.

W. T. GARDNER EXTOLLED
Friend Tells of. Fine Qualities of
Cliarity "Worker W1k Has Passed.
The following tribute to William T.
Gardner, who died Friday, was pre
pared by a friend:
"The passing away of William T.
Gardner, late superintendent of the
Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, brings to
public attention a useful life and a
valuable work which has been going
on day by day, doing good, quietly and
modestly, without display or reward.
"For 21 years Mr. Gardner has been
constantly at the head of the affairs
of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society
and has, by his conscientious and pains
taking effort, his knowledge and expe
rience of charitable and juvenile cor
rective work, his tact, unassuming per
sonality and kindliness of heart, suc
ceeded in placing the Aid Society In
the useful position which it holds
today.
"Aided and backed in his efforts by
many other public-spirited and kindly
people, he succeeded In raising the so-
wolverines, who stopped theie, dat op ftjn at the oaks to pose for a pew

Mr. Teal asked Mr. Hodge his line

"I am a comedian."
"What kind of a comedian?" thun
dered Mr. Teal, and the youngster re
plied, tremblingly:
"A a funny comedian!'
"Have you ever played a Peruvian?"
"No sir," replied the applicant, "but,"
he added hopefully, "Tve played a Bra-sillan."
Mr. Teal's brows corrugated with
thought, and in a moment he answered:
"Well, there is a lot of difference be
tween a Peruvian and a Braxilian. but
think I'll give you a chance, can

"A little."
The part of the Peruvian was given
