shown that there is one preparation that
can be depended upon for that painful and
aggravating disease. Honaker Bros., Lor

BIRDS OF PASSAGE
Between this and the other side of the broad
Atlantic, in the sh.-ipe of tourists, commer
cial travelers and mariners, agents "on the
road," stcnintioat captains, ship's surgeons
and "all sorts and conditions" of travelers,
emigrant and new settlers appreciate and
testify to the preventive and remedial prop
erties of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in
sea sickness, nausea, malaria and rheumatic
trouble, and all disurders of the stomach,
liver and bow-Is. Against the prejudicial
influences of climate, crudely cooked or un
accustomed diet and impure water, it is a
soveriVn safeguard, aud has been so re-
garded by the traveling public for over a
third of a century. No form of malarial
fever, from the caleutura of the Pacific and
the broken bone fever of the Mississippi, to
its milder types, can resist the enrative ac
tion of this benignant preserver and restorer
of health, a veritable boon to persons iu
feeble health or liable to incur disease.

ABSOLUTELY PURS
DESTROYED BY FIRE AND AGAIN
AT WORK.
The Price Baking Towder Company of
Chicago, which is known throughout the
country for tha superior excellence of its
Baking Powder, met with a serious loss on J
the morning of May 18, in the nearly total
destruction by fire of its factory and office s.
No sooner had the flames been subdued than
the work of restoration commenced and the
company by prudnt foresight, having had
stored in outside warehouses duplicate ma
chinery, labels and supplies of raw materials
in preparation for any emergency was ena- '
bled by energetic management to resume '
manufacturing within a very few days after
the fiic, thereby causing its customers but a 1
trifling delay in the filling of their orders, i
Had the company not been so prepared the
delay would have been very serious since it
would have required months of time to get
new machinery.
It is now forty years since the goods man
ufactured by this company were first placed
on the market, to Dr. Price being due the
distinction or having prepared the first can
of Cream of Tartar Baking Powder ever
manufactured in any country. It was a
great discovery, superceding as it did the old
method of using cream of tartar and soda
separately, to say nothing of saleratus, with
which the biscuit of early days was embit
tered. The Price Company has no connec'ion
whatever with any other baking powder
company or manufacturer, notwithstanding
representations to the contrary made by
other manufacturers whose sole aim is to de
ceive the public and borrow the good name
and fame acquired by the Dr. Price Baking
Powder, which is known all over the world
as the purest and " most perfect made."
John Otterstedt, an experienced black
smith and woodworker, has formed a part,

flattering prospects.

The picnic at Ridden' grove, near Wells
last Saturday was attended en masse by the
people of the vicinity and many delegations
from distant localities were present. It
was given under the auspices of Soap Creek
Grange No. 14, P. of H.,' aud the organiza
tion is entitled to the credit of having
given excellent entertainment. Profs.
French aud Letcher, of the O. A. O., were
prest ut-aud addressed the gathering. Judge
Boise also spoke at considerable length con
cerning agricultural matters, and was listen
ed to with deep interest. Other literary
exercises graced the occasion, while the
Marine band discoursed music ia quantity
aud quality to the highest SiUiefactioa of all.
A PICNIC INCIDENT,
Brass bands, like other organizations,
have their code of ethics of which the wives
and sweethearts are not permitted a full
knowledge, and it seems to them very sin
gular that they are so seldom allowed to ac
company the musicians on their profession.-.l
tours. The Marine band, of course, is "all
right,' but the nriembera are a good-looking
set, and those who are entitled to their un
divided affection entertain a suspicion that
the boys are susceptible.
On Saturday morning after the band
wagons had pulled out for Ridders' grove,
where the Marines were expected to awaken
the Soap Creek echoes, three young ladies
who regarded themselves as auxiliaries of
the band, decided to take conveyance, at
tend the picuic incognito, and discover, if
possible, any evidences of iuconstancy on
the part of the objects of their affections. A
magnificient luncheon was obtained at a
restaurant and after other necessary prepar
ation the ladies started for the picnic in an
ticipation of interesting developments.
The trio drove a 2:20 horse and they dusted
ever j thing on the road; but at a stage of
the drive the horse became frightened aud
bolted off at a runaway speer'. A general
assoit nent of merchandise flew from the
buggy and a witness some distance iu tha
rear thought a cyclone had struck a junk
shop in the neighborhood, . When the ladies
had been successfully deposited in different
fence comers the horso broke loose from the
vehicle and soon after left his harness on
a protruding fence stake. He then turned
to view with admiration, the success of his
efforts.
A good natnred German came along and
gathered up the shreds of millinery and
other picnic toggery, the mangled remains
of a couple of baked Jchickens, etc., together
with other shattered remnauts of the once
joyous party. The ladies were, fortuuately,
not physically injured, and they settled
down to await the first opportunity for
assistance. A Corvallis hack soon passed
that way aud carried the young ladies to
the picnic grounds, but they were in no
hnmor to carry out their original designs.
Their arrival and appearance transformed
the Marine band into a geuuiue surprise
party.

It is whispered that a partial u nion of the

OUR FLOWER SAINT.
So Miss Willard called Miss Jennie Csse
day, the superintendent of the National W.
C. T. U. Some thirty years ago Miss
Casseday was made a life-long cripple by a
dreadful accident, and from her "sick bed"
for years past has gone out this loving
Ministry of flowers.
What is the flower mission? Let me an
swer in Miss C.tsjeday's owu words: "What
is a flower mission? It is a mission whose
aim is to lead burdened souls Up to Christ
and to teach them to cast their cares on
Him who careth for them; whose work is to
cheer and comfort all who need a friend,
and to help the poor to help themselves; and
whose text is, 'Bear ye one another's bur
dens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.' The
flowers are used mcrerly as a wedge.
Their beauty, purity, and fragrance teach
ing of love of God, who made them, and of
the human sympathy which brings them,
open the heart to gratitude and prepare the
way for the entering in of the little text
card which they must always have attached
to them. They can do no real good without

CITY COUNCIL.
On Monday evening the city council met,
this being the meeting at which newly elect
ed members take their seats. Mayor Burnett
called the council to order and the roll of
the old members as well as of the new ones
was called. The mayor then read his annual
message, and the councilmen aud mayor
elect were duly installed.
The session was leugthly, but no real
business in additinn'was transacted except
to appoint Wm. Hartleys superintendent of
street work. There was considerable con
fusion throughout the meeting, the cause of
which was " the conflicting construction
placed upon two sections of the charter.
The election, at the previous meeting, of J.
M. Davis as chief of police, by four couucil
men, seven being present, and nine consti
tuting the full number, bi ought up the mat
ter at Monday's meeting. Previously it had
been the custom to require a majority of all
tho councilmen to constitute an election of
officers chosen by the couucil, this requisite
being based on section 8, of the charter,
which reads in part: "Tho police judge, street
superintendent, and chief of police and sur
veyor shall be appointed by the majority of
the members of the couucil, and they shall
hold office," etc. Upon the occasion of Mr.
Davis' choice as above stated, Mayor
Burnett ruled that he was duly elected,
basing his ruling on section 35 of the char
ter which says: "A majority of the whole
number constituting the council, as then
provided by law, (First Monday in June
next following any general election) is a
majority of the council or members thereof
within the meaniug of this act, and not
otherwise unless expressly provided. The
concurrence of V majority of a quorum is
a sufficient majority to determine any ques
tion or matter other than the final passage
of an ordinance."
Lively discussion was indulged Mouday
evering and the members who held 'that
section 8 was the law occupied the field at
the close of the session. Eight members
only were present however, and much will
depend on the course of the ninth member.
In the meantime Scrafford, tlitf present
chief, continues in office.
FAVORABLE ASPECT.
"A portion of the San Francisco excursion
ists returned to the valley on Monday,
while others remained in the city to inrther
pursue the object of their visit. Those
from this vicinity who returned are J. O.
Wilson and wife, C. L. Beach, S. N. Wil
kins, J. B. Walker aud S. L. Kline. They
are all enthusiastic over the result of the
trip, believing that the inducements offered
by wholesale houses in San Francisco will
lead to more intimatn trade relations with
Western- Oregon, and Eastern Oregon,
when a little more progress is made
on the Oregon Pacific. The dealers in San
Francisco had a tangible object in spending
three or four thousand dollars in entertain
ing the excursionists they did not do it
for eharity's sake. By having the Oregon
merchants- visit them they thought they
could, by becoming acquainted aud setting
forth their advantages, obtain the trade of
this section, Suu Francisco is) anxious to
sell, Oregon has tire money or produce to
buy with, and no local pride merely will in
duce her merchants to sacrifice margins ou
large invoices. Consumers share the ad
vantages of the retaieer, and onr people are
to be congratulated npon the favorable as
pect of the matter in hand. Several large
bills were ordered in San Francisco by mer
chants who ' h-d not baUr been trading

to us a most auspicio'us' occasion: oh whicli
to turn back a few leaves in the history of

to know somewhat of the general history of
the c'.ab.
It is not our purpose to write titg entire"
history of the organization, although aucht
an article might be interesting reading.
We desire Chiefly to glance back at a few
of the yearly mile-stones which dot thrf
forward march of Said club. In fSS4 wo
arrived at our first anniversary; we cele

only himself to blame.

was presented ro the firemen, and it would
have been like the pl.iy of Shakespere's1
Hamlet, with Hamlet left out, to' imagine)
the firemen "not in it" oh such ah Occasion
A memorable excursion was run' to the'
Summit on the date of our 1887 anniversary.
The invitation was of a decidedly public
nature. Those firemen who were "hot in
it," simply were so from choice.
In 1883 came the picnic at Avery's)
grove, where the firemen were conspicuous
by their absence, but it was not oil account
of lack of "social popularity"' as every ef'
fort was made to have everyone go;
In 1889, as our public affairs had certainly'
not been over well patronized,- we held
reunion in the H. & L. flail, and we dis-
tinctly remember seeing a fair attendance of
firemen and we held this anniversary at the
H. & L. Hall by express invitation of th
ll.iL boys.
A moonlight excursion on the beautiful
Willamette proved very disastrous fiiian'
cially. The firemen certainly "were no8
in it," much to the dissapbiutment of ths
L. C. C. C.
Do these pages of history bear out thsr
testimony of our would-be critic as to there
being "select invitation affairs?"
This attack is really not a new gfowfj
only an old one just a little louder.
Several years ago, wo do not recall thel
exact year, the same complaint was mads
iu a somewhat modified fjriri. and as we
T lQQf? 1 - . ..
were filling quits an important office, wa
personally went to the chief of each de
partment aud obtained a correct list of the
entire tire department and took great pains
to see that a formal invitatiou went out
Do you want to know the result? Three
firemen, among those not usually orit to our
8 cial meetings, responded. Passing oyer
other years, we will only recall the fact
that at the celebration of '92, (a leap yeat
party, each member of the departmen hav
ing a special invitation,)' two out side
of the regular number responded. It looks
as though the firemen were not so badly
treated after all. Oue fact ought to ber
mentioned in this review c f things. No)
lady is invited to our socials who is nob
either an active or honorary member ot the
club. You can at ouce see th.itjit is rather'
a difficult matter toj.iuvite s'oine firemen
whose wife will not "be in it."
We believe the hVemeo nWt only under'
stand this but see the need of such a law
among ourselves. The firemen's wives,
daughters and sweethearts belong in tffe
club, why are they not there? They cer
taiuly have not been shut out.
This last reunion wr s a teiy tastily got
ten up affair merely that the anniversary
should not pass by unnoticed1.- We' had
not planned to have a celebration aTone
this year, but asj we had been asked W
hold a joint celebration ofi the 20th witht
the firemen, on the occasion of the dedi
cation of their new hall, the ladies had
gladly accepted the invitation to celebrate
together, aud had waited to do' so np to a
few days prior to anniversary date, when
finding the firewett not ready, wo con'
eluded to hold a social in an informal m in
ner and to hold ourselves iu readiness to do
what we could to make the (fcdiontioi ay
success also to in reality have our big;
celebratiou theu.
Positive we are that no thought of sin'
gling out any favored few was in the minds
of the ladies, or any slight ' whatever in
tended. It is always well to remember',
that there is more thau one side to an
story. Two Membeks oj wb Cure,
