BASKET DINNER SERVED
Dedication Sermon Preached by Rev.
Mickle of Cottage Grove. Pre­
siding Elder Present.
Last Sunday a large crowd as­
sembled at Saginaw from Creswell,
Lynx Hollow and Cottage Grove
to attend the dedication services at
the new
Methodist Kpiscopal
church.
The services were held at 11
o ’clock a. in. in the new church
and were conducted by 1’residing
Elder Wire of Eugene, Rev. Gard­
ner of Saginaw aud Rev. A. S.
Nickle, pastor of the Cottage
Grove M. Ii. church, the dedica­
tion sermon being preached by the
latter. • The afternoon service was
conducted by Rev. Skidmore of
Creswell.
Presiding Elder Wire made the
introductory remarks, and the ser­
vice was conducted in the follow­
ing order:

Benediction
The trustees of the new church
are Rev. Gardner and Messrs.
Angel and Neat.
The beautiful, sightly lot upon
which the church is located was
donated by Mr. Angel. It has
an elevation of about 50 feet alxive
the town and is partially surround­
ed by au evergreen grove, a most
picturesque location. The build­
ing is 24x40 feet with arched win­
dows and ceiling and the interior
wood work is oil finished, the ceil­
ing and walls bfeing papered and
decorated. According to the trus­
tees report the cost of the bujlding
was $1005.50. The subscriptions
amounted to $850.25 of which all
but $56.1,1 has lieen paid in. The
M. E. church extension subscribed
$250 and this neat little church ed­
ifice was therefore dedicated pract­
ically free of indebtedness, which
speaks well for the energetic trus­
tees aud the public spirited people
of that community. The collect­
ion at the close of the service
amounted to $02.. 1.1 o f which $27.-
50 went to the Presiding Elder, the
balance of $64.83 being designat­
ed as a church organ fund.
Following the dedication service
a splendid basket dinner was
served at the edge of the grove at
the rear of the church, which was
highly enjoyed by all.
Judge H. M. Cake at Cottage Grove.
A good sized audience greeted
lion. 11. .\1 Cake, republican can­
didate for F. S. senator at the arm­
ory Monday afternoon. In open
iug his remarks Mr. Cake outlined
the history of the republican and
democratic parties and contended
that a government for and by the
people could not exist without
parties, one serving as a kind of
balance wheel for the other, and
thereby preventing either from go­
ing to extremes.
‘ ‘ There is no such thing as a
non-partisan in the United States
senate, and the democratic aspirant
for this position will be as vigorous
a partisan, if elected, as any man
on the floor of the senate. He
must and will vote for and with
his party, lie must uphold party
alignment and party principles.
“ The range of influence of a dem­
ocrat in a republican senate would
be no greater than that of his
party. Nearly all effort and suc­
cess in tile senate comes through
position, on committees and it
could hardly be expected that a
representative of a minority party
would receive prominent or influ­
ential positions upon important
committees, or lie able to inaugu­
rate, direct or affect to any extent
tlie’ legislatiou of the country.”
Salmon Again Scarce.
Ten days of salmon fishing in
the Columbia river show the sal­
mon supply still oil the wane. This
is the season of the finest salmon
of the river—the best in the world.
Soon these fish will be an extinct
breed. They are the fish that
made the Columbia river .famous.
The few remaining specimens
should be protected with closed
season. The open season should
be put off from April 15 to May 15.
After that there should be the
closed Sunday and rigid regula­
tion of all kinds of gear— gillnets,
traps, seines and wheels.
Master Fish Warden Van Dusen
quits his office May 1, leaving the
industry in a bad plight. It is too
much to say that he is wholly to
blame for this condition of affairs.
But the fish faction with which he
has been allied is as much to
blame as any other, and none is
more grasping and none has de­
feated as much remedial legisla­
tion.— From the Oregonian, April
27th 1908.
The IT. S. Bureau of Fisheries
has for a long time been endeavor
ing to secure just such remedial
legislation as is being objected to
by the lower river interests. A
short time ago, Secretary Strauss,
of the U. S. Department of Com
merce atid Labor, set forth a list of
things necessary to save the indus­
try. Initiative bill, No. 318 X
yes, was framed to carry out their
ideas. We commend it to your
favorable consideration.
