Ht BE OBSERVED Hundredth Anniversary Sub- a . . m a .... I ject of Public Statement . By Governor lB statement issued yesterday Governor Olcott urges the peoplo 0ti Oregon to observe the 100th anniversary of the birth of Gen- eral U. S. Grant, which Ialls on April 27. In Uhe statement the gorernor calls attention to the fact that General Grant was not unknown to the Oregon country prior, to .bis rise to fame, and for that reason remarks that the date should be of especial significance in this state. 'On April 27 of this year the United States of America will ob serve the 100th anniversary ot the birth of General Ulysses Simp son Grant," says the statement. 'In doing so this nation also will pay sincere tribute to the Grand Army bf the Republic, th? rem nant of that great army so belov ed by General .Grant. Probably for the last time we will have the opportunity of Joining in a na tlon-wlde celebration Inspired by Royalty, and love of those men who now make up the serried ranxs oi mat grand .old j army which preserved our democracy and .its .ideals during' the' most trying times in our national his tory. "To Oregon this commemora tion of the birthday of General Grant has a peculiar significance Grant was not unknown in this! state and his presence here In his earlier life is remembered by the free and prominent use of his name In the geographical nomen clature 'of our commonwealth. I trust that, Oregon will as sume a leading place among the states in this celebration. Plans for the observance of this day generally In the schools are well Under way. In each community. town and city, I urge that appro priate exercises be held with spe cial addresses and features pro per for the occasion. "The present generation may ' leM great lessons from the memory of General Grant, who as soldier, '.'statesman, author Is remembered throughout the world ha from th mmmon pe0ple and always was one with them. "May this day be fittingly ob served that we may assist In the perpetuation of . those lessons in our history which . will keep our government and Its princioles In J violate for the generations yet to i come" Irish Dissenters Raid (Craig's Whiskey Stores ADTJBCIN.

"Paul Revere" pleased a large audience which witnessed Its presentation by the classes of the music de partment of the high school un der the direction of Miss Lena Belle Tartar, last night. Al though far from a finished pro duction of the musical comedy, which Is really a very creditable entertainment, it offered variety from the usual comedy-drama and was fairly well received. The clever acting of Rita Rem lngton in the role of Phyllys Fax ton,. In addition to her solo work was worth overlooking several other less creditable musical num bers. Frances Ward as Molly Faxton In the leading role, gave several solos of unusual merit. Harold Sooolofsky, playing op posite her In the title role of Past Revere, did credit to his role, es pecially in bis acting. The difficulty of the entire comedy lay in the fact that the high school does not have an over abundance of material in the school this year, yet they were attempting a play difficult enough for players of much more ad vanced experience. The whole clearly -represented, however, con sistent effort on the part of both director and students, and from that viewpoint may be deemed a worthy performance. The entire cast follows: Paul Revere, Harold Socolofsky; Molly Faxton, Frances Word; John Fax- ton, Verne Math is; Capt. Marks, Kola McClellen; Lieut. William Day, William Wright; Dorothy Faxton, Alice Roth; Phyllis Far ton, Rita Remington; Sweeney, a bad lot, Russel Pratt; Rastus, Ed ward Burnside; Dianah, Vera Mc- Cune; Wm. Daws. Webster Ross Salmon Seen Struggling in the La Creole Rive DALLAS, Or., April 7. (Spe cial to The Statesman )etaIn cial to the Statesman) A large salmon was seen by several Dai- las residents at the dam on the LaCreole river in the western part of the city this week. The salmon was trying to get over the dam and go upstream but it was evidently so worn out by its jour ney from the ocean that it was too weak to make the climb and con tinually fell back into the water. Salmon are seldom seen in this stream and this is the second time that or heard of as being in the LaCreole by even the oldest res!- dents as the stream heads in toward the coast and one of the peculiarities of the salmon is that they never turn to a stream that heads and flows away from the ocean.
