U., at which a Consumers' League was organized. Mrs Additon spoke in Montana, -'.Dakota and Nebraska.

U. workers on this coast, and is interested in all of the departments, several of the news papers spekeot her as one ot the ablest speakers of .the National lecture force. - Is a Noted Scout. Capt. Geo. E. Bartlett, one of the best rifle shots in the world, now traveling salesman for the Peters. Cartridge Co., gave an exhibition of his prowess with a rifle before a number of interest ed sportsman on the fiat near Marys river Tuesday. His skill with fire arms is marvelous. Clay pigeons were broken with a shotgun at 60 yards without a miss ana pieces of bntk no larger than a marble were thrown ia the air aad hit on an average of four out ef five times with a 23-calibre rifle.- , An interesting test was made to show the superiority of Kings smokeless shotgun powder, and Kings semi-smokeless powder- in metallie rifle and pistol car tridges. After firing 250 shots irom - a 22-caiiDre rine. usine Peters cartridges, it was examin ed and found to be briht and clean. Then three cartridges of another make were r fired -from the same rifle and they left more fouling than the previous 2 ;o shots had done. Thirty shots with Peters cartridges yrett fired which virtually cleaned . the gun et the residue leit by the pre vious thiee. ; Simpson & Huston have order ed a supply of these cartridges for their customers.

"The little Indian girl was afterwards named .Lost Bird (Zitkalaa Nuni) and was adopted by Mrs. General Colby, who is now educating her in Washing ton, D. C, where she is admired by all who know her, for she is pretty and very bright as well as a rare reminder of a ghastly, murderous fight, and the ghost dance war with the Sioux." This is Captain Bartlett's first trip, to the Willamette Valley, and he is delighted with the trip. All Oregon Talent. Oreeonians are gradually aw aken- ing to the fact that their grand old state is just as proline in good things as any other state, any where, and literary and musical talent is not the least of of these acquire ments. That dramatic genius is native to our soil has been demon strated in the entertainments given this week at the Opera House by the FisGher-VanCleve Company. The bast is made up almost en tirely of Native sons and daughters of Oregon, and considering the fact that they are all young people, and that the season has not yet" ad vanced far enough for them to get well into the harness, they give a meritorious performance. Miss Babe Fischer, a winsome little lady not yet in her fifteenth year, gives evidence of exceptional talent. She displays rare taste and tact in rendition of each character entrusted to her, and gives an in telligent interpretation. Mr. Cov ington can be- depended upon for a painstaking and finished per formance, and the work of Bert VanCleve and J. B.; McCowell ha? elicited much favorable comment. Of the other members of the cast, hiva. VanCleve deserves mention Tonight's bill is "Tatters," and Saturday night "East Lynne," in whieh the company is said to be especially strong, will be given.

Nolan & Callahan, What the Chief Thinks. ': f' Corvallis, Or., Kov. 14, 1931. -Editor Gazette : Please allow as space to state some facts concerning the iFire Department of this ciry.

At our last regular meeting no such resolutions were introduced, although I learned after the meeting had adjourned that resolutions had been gotten up, and the same are now In the hands of the secretary. I was requested by several members to call a special meeting of the department to act on this matter. . I would net do so without the regular form being complied with namely, that an application signed by at least seven members be secured. This application was handed to me later, signed by four teen members of the department. I de clined to call such a meeting in the usual way by posting notices, but in structed our secretary to notify each member by mail, and he at once pr deeded to do so. Hewever, . before he" had time to Write out and mail these notices, several of those that had signed the requisition came to me and wished t have the call revoked, and after due consideration, I did so. ' I then learned that a petition would be circulated for signatures asking the city council to pro hibit the Social Club using the hall for dances. :' : ' On Monday evening a member of the fire department handed me a paper ad dressed to tbe city council. I looked it over and handed it back. I asked him how many he could get to sign" this paper.' His answer ' was, "I can get lots' of them." I then supposed it was his intention to proceed to do so. -1 was surprised to hear a paper somewhat sim ilar, read at the council meeting and signed "Several Members of the Depart ment." . .' . I wish to say that I do not approve of any such proceedings. No member of tbe department has any right or author ity to address such a "paper to tbe city council, or acy where else. They have a perfect right to do so," provided they attach their names to the same. I am sorry any unpleasantness should arise, as I would like to have harmony in the department if possible. It is very im portant that we should maintain an effi cient fire department. By the action of the council at its hst meeting, the control of the firemans' hall has been assumed entirely by them. This relieves the fire department from any responsibility in the matter, and any individual' or organization wishing to use the same must secure permission from the city to do so. .. . I, however, believe that every fire do partmsnt should own and control its own hall, and it would have been much better for our department if it had re mained separate and independent from the city in this, matter. As it is, I be lieve that the action of the council was the best for all concerned. .Respectfully,- V ; f. P. Shbasqbein.. - Chief C.F.D. Suits that Do Suit.
