Schouldt accepted the company's
offer of $75 to cover his claim for

long lawsuit .
Although Mr. Schouldt. wai a
resident of Chicaee for 19 years, he
felt like a stranger in the windy
city. He returns to Oregon satis
fied to make it his home, and he
will probably locate in this immedi

Mrs. Lucia F. Additon, for many
years a resident of Corvallis, has
returned to Portland from a three
mofhhs' i.rip to the Middle West
in the interest of the W. C. T. U.
work.
At Clinton, Ia, on Labor Dav,
Mrs. Additon was received with
much enthusiasm, and the Labor
Congress insisted upon her return
next year. She also organized a
Consumers' League. -
Addresses were delivered before
colleges, woman's clubs, parlor
gatherings, labor unions, churches
and conventions, where the the wel
comes were most cordial. At Des
Moines, Iowa, Mrs Additon had
two especially delightful meetings.
One was a parlor gathering of the
prominent Suffrage- Club, and the
other, a joint meeting of three
Woman's Clubs and W. U. T. U.,
at which a Consumers' League was
organized. Mrs Additon spoke in
Montana, -'.Dakota and Nebraska.
In Wyoming, she attended a politi
cal primary with the women voters,
and was impressed with the order
and moral atmosphere.
Mrs. Additon is'one of the bright
est W. C. T. 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.
A writer recently speaking of
his career as an Indian scout in
the Clack Hills country and tbe
Dakotas, says:
"He won great distinction as !
captain of the oolice

"The little Indian girl was

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.

tal remains were broaght to Cor-
lUs Tuesday on the S. P.

Mollie Thompson, of this city,
who, with a little five-year-old
daughter survives him.
The mterrment was made ia

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.
