(dd Glenroe, this county, in De
cember, 18.3i, and learned the

Mr. nnd Mrs. Frank Crabtree.
of beyond Laurel, were city call
ers Saturday. F. M. says that so
far as he can determine bis fruit
trees did not at all suffer from the
heavy ftv ze of the Winter's season.
It is remarkable how weather
legends survive even after thev
have many times proved more
than unworthy of credence. The
old saying that a wet Easter Sun
day means seven more to follow
just like, probably is one of the
best known of the fallacies car
ried by people generation after
generation. And yet one rainy
Luster a few years ago was fol
lowed by six Sundays of sunshine.
This year's Faster was cloudy,
but here in the valley there was
no rains to mar the day and
those inclined to follow legends
are at a loss to know just what
kind of weather may follow. In
Oregon we may expect some rain
on Sunday, particularly in the
Spring of the year but seven of
them say it not.
Miss Jane C. Allen, state advis
ory nurse and organizer of public

ing of the National Tuberculosis
Association to be held in St. Louis

resent the State Board of Health,
the Oregon Tuberculosis Associa
tion, the Red Cross and the Ore
gon State Graduate Nurses' Asso
ciation. Miss Allen 'is well know n
here and was present at the bid-
get meeting in January.
Too few people realize the magni
tude of the Oregon Monument
Works plant, on Main, between
Third and Fourth. A visit to the
place today discloses a new ship
ment of granite which has ar
rived, and the display equals and
eclipses many of the Portland
marble works. Mr. Lewis is
equipped to turn out monuments
which are works of art, and his
w orkmen can hold their own with
any of the marble cutters of the
Northwest. He keeps two men
at work with his power machines
and the place is a busy one. The
industry is growing each year,
and is a credit to the county.
Mr. Lewis now has a $10,000
stock on bis floors and people in
terested should see him before
going elsewhere.

cent range of prices. He wants
the "pen" to do the work.
