STEVENS CLAN
HOLDS REUNION
AT OAK GROVE
The descendants of Edward Spen
der Stevens, a Dioneer of t.h Wil.
lamette valley, who settled upon the
donation claim at Oak Grove, now
bearing the official name of Oak
dale Fields, and until very recently
the home of the A. W. Bartlett
family, held the annual Stevens
family re-unlon Sunday, this beinp
the seventh established event, June
10.

J. Stevens, registrar of the informal
organization, it is passible to enum
erate those in attendance, the num
ber steadily Increasing from year
10 year.
Passersby the school house and

buildings sites of which were do
nated by Edward Spenser Stevens
so long as such parcels of the estate
should be used for the original pur
pose specified, could not but be im
pressed by the forethought which
prompted the act, as the Grange

social center for the activities lor
which Oak Grove is distinguished
as a social point among neighboring
communities.
Tables stretched the length of the
main room as well as the dining
room, providing seating capacity for
the company at the banquet, wliere
the menu attested to the women
members' proficiency in the art of
cookery and of attractive serving as
well. Three miniature log cabin
pieces, built of Coos Bay cheese
were suggestive of pioneer days, the
product of which Coos Bay is justly
proud, were both useful and orna
mental, being a souvenir of the
state Grange just held at Myrtle
Point and carefully conserved for
this occasion.

RICKREALL IS
RAISING VOICE
AGAINST M'COY
Dallas The meeting called by
the district boundary board for
Wednesday for the purpose of dis
cussing transportation of high school
students as provided by acts of the
last legislature was not a success
from the standpoint of clearing the
atmosphere. In fact thj situation
was clouded more than ever bythe
attitude of members of the Rich
reall scl" "1 board.
The bone of contention seems to
be with the deposition of high
school students from the McCoy
section. .Word was received offi
cially by the Dallas school board
that the McCoy district had voted
unanimously to send their children
to Dallas. As a result of this word
a bus line was mapped out to serve
this district and bids were called for
by the Dallas board for transporta
tion. This concrete data was pre
sented by the Dallas board for the
consideration of the district board.
Rickreall appeared with their
righting togs on to prevent the
transportation of McCoy students
to Dallas as they desired them for
their own district. They asked for
time in which to campaign the Mc
Coy district In order to win them to
their school and as a result the
board extended time until July 10
at 10 a. m. C. A. Howard, state
school superintendent, and 8. S.
Duncan, Yamhill county school su
perintendent, were visitors at the
meeting.

Relief From Curse

"Constipation is responsible for
more misery than any other cause."
But immediate relief has been
found. A tablet called Rexall Oder
lies attracts water from the system

a gentle, thorough movement with

Summer Months
Hard on Stomach
Sufferers
Quick, Natural Relief from
Simple Herbal Compound
How much suffering a weak stom
ach can cuuse! Painful gas, bloat
ing1, sleeplessness, loss of weight
vigor. Bad enough at any time,
but when exhausting summer heat
is added, strength is drained from
the sturdiest body.
But here is one of many thou
sands who found a way to relief:
Mrs. Minnie Huber, of 945 E. 26th
St., Portland, Ore, sayis: "Ever since
I was a girl I suffered from sick head
aches and vomiting spells. I weakened
so I had nostrength foranytlung. After
taking Tanlac, my headaches and sick
spells disappeared altogether."
It's never too late to trv Tanlaa.
So go to your druggist now and
get a Dottle. JNo mineral drugs
only Nature's own medicinal herbs,
but its efficacy is so annarent that
often only one bottle is needed to
bring1 desired relief. Money back
if it doesn't help.
