The original Steel & Freeland Mov ing Picture Show will be given under the auspices of the Epworth League, next Monday evening, February 27. This Is without doubt the best illus trated concert company on the road, and their entertainment has received the highest praise of press and public everywhere. The reputation for clean, high-class attractions always secures for it a crowded house. It is un questionably the finest entertainment of its character in America, and the management guarantees that this, the seventh season's equipment and pro gram, is superior to Anything offered in the past. The program is divided into two parts, and comprises beautiful moving pictures and high-class musical selec tions. Among the new pictures may be mentioned the Scenes from the Russo-Japanese War, Great Train Robbery.Seenes from Yosemite Valley, and Seacoast Scenes from Yaquina Bay, Oregon. You cannot afford to miss this entertainment At the last perform ance in Portland, the Taylor Street M. E. Church was packed to the "standing-room-only" point, and more than 300 people were turned away. General admission, 25 cents ; children, 15 cents. No reserved seats. The Lewis and Clark Division held its regular monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Ed Biddle, Tuesday afternoon. The attendance of mem bers wa3 large, and a pleasant after noon was enjoyed. Mrs. Biddle was assisted in receiving and entertaining the guests by Mrs. Samuel Coad, Mrs. H. E. Kozer and Mrs. E. W. Fuller. Mis3 Elizabeth M. Pollock favored the guests with select readings, and a light lunch was served. Plans for the Fair exhibit were discussed at length, and other important business was transacted. The membership of the Division has passed the 100-maxk, and is rapidly growing. Senator Fulton took up with the President the reported agreement of several of the cabinet officers to make no more appointments in Oregon until after the land fraud trials, Saturday. The President said he had no knowledge of such agreement, and would not approve it. On the con trary, he said, any such policy would be an unjust reflection on Senator Fulton. The President told the Sena tor to come direct to him whenever he had any appointments he wanted made. As a matter of fact, aside from the few Presidential postoffices, no ap pointments are likely to fall due until after the trials, but these appoint ments will be made wherever Senator Fulton asks for them. The President will not interfere with the determination to deny Mitchell, Hermann and Williamson the right to make appointments, which possibly means that there will be no more fourth class postofilce appointments in Oregon for some months. The appointment of a district attor ney must necessarily wait until Mr. Hall's correct status is determined. If he is disqualified, some one else will be appointed when the land fraud cases are closed. In any event, no appointment will be made until Sena tor Fulton is consulted. He will make the selections. Frank C. Baker, as chairman of tie Republican state central com mittee, has been appealed to by Senator Fulton asking him to go to Washington for the purpose of dis cussing the matter of patronage in the state and to assume some of the burdens of the task. The matter of third-class postmasters will be the first to be considered, as there are several to be distributed. Among the number are Astoria, Monmouth,Tilla mook and Dallas. A Portland newspaper collected a lot of money from the business men of Irrigon for a special writeup of the town. When the writeup appeared things were so badly mixed up that Editor Bennett of the Irrigator makes the announcement in his last issue that if the management of the Pert land paper will send the man responsible for the me33 to Irrigon, the people up there will be glad to interview him. "If he gets away alive he will be in big luck," says Mr. Bennett Moral: Ik-ware of the special writeup man. He is only too anxiou3 to get your money, but as he will per haps never see you again it is nothing to him whether you get your money's worth or not Hood River Glacier. California's building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition will be four times as large as the state erected at St. Louis. According to the Observer, the sub ject of good roads is engrossing the attention of Polk county people. It is a very good subject to become interested in. Good roads and good transportation facilities are the most potent factor in the rapid development of any locality. Amity Advance. Carts Celrfsi FrtvMis rswuBMUi Consumption J There is no specific for consumption. Fresh air, ex ercise, nourishing food and Scott's Elmulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil lions of people throughout the world are living and in good health on one lung. J From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT'S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott's Elmulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous. We will send you a sample free. J Be ture that th'u picture in the form of a label it on the wrap per of erery bottle of Emulsion you buy.

In every game so nobly played, I'd like to say my say ; And now just wink at blunders made, WThile we get down to play. It seems to me that victory, Down on the old Gym floor, Where now you send your shirts to boil, Should live forever more. We hadn't won a thing that year, But when the Baptists came, You pulled your coats and broke your throats And made us win the game. And then you did't howl us down, When, over-trained, we slumped Ralph Williams broke a seat or two, And ran and howled and jumped. When Portland, on our first trip there, Forgot that we were guests And robbed us of the vain conceit That labored in our breasts. And do you not recall the night That "Old Willamette" came With tooting horns, sarcastic smiles, To win that last big game? Do you remember how you lined The Gym from door to door And how you nerved the lads in red, When first they hit the floor? Of course, you knew the chance was slim ; But ah, as from a dream, At last our Salem friends awoke To hear "Young Dallas" scream I "You came, you saw, and now can go, But don't forget the score ; We like your style, and afterwhile Come back and get some more." I think, perhaps, they did come back And, in the same old way, You people filled the big new Gym, All ready for the fray, diet Coad was there, and Aure Ford, . And Walt and Otho, North and West, And all the girls with D. C. flags, The young and old and all the rest. It would bo useless to begin And try to play that game Upon a paper here with pen You afl recall the same. Suffice to say, they came to slay ; But when the fight was o'er, They had again ,to take away The small end of the score. Corvallis made the trip to show The ppople of our town Just how to do it, don't you know I You all came trooping down And took your places round the court And oiled your anxious vocals, And used them to such good effect, They couldn't touch the locals. But Teats forgot his name was Zig And Alex, smiling sweetly, Announced the score, with bows galore, We did them so completely. But, brothers yes, and sisters, too, The ladies, loyal rooters, Who stood as staunch and yelled as true A9 all the loud male tooters The game that brought you to your feet, That robbed you of your reason, Wa3 that one played at O. A. C, The wind-up of the season. I used to read of Sheridan ; Of how he rode a ride ; But that has paled before your trip Across the countryside. And how, with anxious hearts, so long We waited, watched in vain ; And how, with what delight, we heard The whistle of your train. You took your seats above the court, And watched that first half through; But when the score read seven-four, And things were looking blue, You used your chairs to stand upon, You rallied from the rout; And when the smoke had cleared nway You roared the victory shout! Down in the dressing room, the team Was Binging "Palms of Glory," While Sheriff Ford and President Both tried to tell the story ; And, through the floor we heard your scream You had a right to boast ; Not every college colors stand For "Champions of the Coast." And now I must begin to close ; And, closing, let me say That those who did the yelling act That those who strip and play, Have each their own and proper share Of every score to make, And when the glory pie is cut All equally "partake. So, comrades of some big old times, Who've cheered at contests won. Who've sympathized in sore defeats Now, that my play Is done, I'd like to thank you for the help That you have been to me, When, oft' together In the Gym, We fought for victory. -DAN POLING.

An atheletic club has been organ ized in Independence with 20 members. The following officers weae elected : President, George Burton ; vice- presi dent, Neville Eldridgo: secretary, Julien Hurley; Treasurer Edwin Wallace. . The club will use the appar atus which the old club had in the gymnasium. The man swindled of $10,000 by the "gold brick" trick last week is William Vance, a man of wealth, with a residence in Albany, Oregon, and the deal was consummated in Salem. Vance, now In Portland, is very 111 at the home of one of his daughters, Mrs. Walter Peacock. It develops that the daughter of Vance used every effort to persuade her fathertohave nothing to do with the confidence operator, even going so far, on tho day he left Albany for Salem, to telegraph a Salem attorney to have him add his influence to hers. Vance stubbornly refused to listen to the lawyer and persisted in going to the Ladd & Bush bank, where the money changed hands.
