Congress is now in the hands
of the reactionaries. As this is
exactly what the old guard has
been advising the people to do
for some years past, both the old
guard and the people should be
satisfied, and Messrs. Poindexter,
Johnson and Borah should have
reason to "hog-tie" their troubles
There's a deal of satisfaction,
how n er, in knowing that the Or
egon boys coming back from
France are already versed in
what it is to live in a water-wagon
bailiwick.

HILLSBORO CHAUTAUQUA
In Portland the Ellison-W hile
people are putting in busy day
planning for the biggest and
most Successful Six-Day Chau
tauqua for Hillsboro which has
ever been presented. The pro
grain certainly rings true trom
the opening to the closing event
i. ins year inev serve more
towns than ever before. The
nave auueit .ew .calami aiu:
Australia to their territory and
have extended their Canadian
business. So that they will op
erate in tjy seven jMimmer cir
cuits and six Winter ones. That
means year-round employment
of talent and workers. And that
means cutting down the old bug
aboo "overhead." So there
every reason for bringing a miie
oetter program Minn ever ane
they are truly doing it.
Six "sure-hre musical attrae
Hons come to Hillsboro during
the week, headed bv Castellueei"
Concert Band. Included in the
list is the Zedeler Symphonic
Quintet, one of the best musiea
organizations on the platform
bar none. Every phase and an
gle of the Reconstruction prob
lems will be covered by a partic
ularly strong staff of lecturers
Foremost amoi g these is Jut
. i , .
.lden. ot .Massachusetts, one o
the keenest minded, clearest is
ioned men on the American pint-
form. The war story w ill be told
by the famous little Canatlin au
thor and lecturer. Si rgenut Gil
bons, who spent seven months in
the German piison camps am
has the best story of the war ve
know of anywhere. He conies on
"Victory Day," the second day
and an ()er-eas Quartet of four
"singing Sammies" straight from
France will prelude him.
The dates have been deh'nit dv
set for July 17, IS, 10,?,). 21 am
SCRAP ON HIGHWAY
There is a neat little scrap on up
in the Gaston country over the
Mate Highway. Residents over
on the Spring Hill route have
cured a petition which they 'are-
presenting to the State Board
asking that the road be routed
along the Spring Hill road, thro
to Gaston, while the Scoggin and
Patton Valley people are up in
arms to have the road go thro as
originally pi inned. The Spring
Hill people teb the commission
that they will aoid all the
grades incident to the ups am;
lowns of the route cutting thro
the foothills. Gaston people, it
is said, are really remaining
more less neutral, realizing
that there is merit in both de
mands besides there. Is a big
trade for the town on both these
routes.
No one appears to know just
what the commission will do, and
the Patton Valley and Scoggin
Valley residents are moving the
old sphere to keep the road on
the old prospect of building.
