It Is desirable that this lie done at once, ascongreas ii now in acHaion and these petitions should del uge congress at the beginning of the session. iniDellina them to take iiumo- diate action. Patriotism is yet a living virtue. In reeurd to the testtfiionial for the battleship, Oregon, before mentioned, I desire to say that our suite has been es pecially honored in this naming of one of the few first-class battleships for our fair state, so that her name may lie car ried into every clime and through every sea by one of the finest and best armor ed vessels that human ingenuity and skill has been able to construct. So it ia flitiiiir that we should show not only our gratitude for the honor shown us, but also our patriotism by securing a personal financial interest in this mag nificent ship. The committee appoint ed by the governor to take charge of this matter have estimated the cost of the memorial lobe 10,000,so you see It will be no small affair. The committee are : Chas. II. I)odd. chairman; J. H. D. Gray, Astoria; J. H.Kalev, of Pendle ton ; J . II. McClung.of Eugene; W. T. Wright, of Union; Chas. Nickell, of Jacksonville, and B. VV. Johnson, of Corvallis. You can show jour pupils that the best way to secure peace is for our na tion to be well prepared to enforce peace. That is why these battleships are neces sary. We have fewer wars now since the nations are so well prepared to cope with any enemy. Respectfully, T. 0. Hutchinson. for more than 00 years. They were pillars In the village church, one of them being a deacon, named White. The other was named Jones. After this long lapse of time a serious difficulty unfor tunately sprang up between these two brethern of the church. The feeling waxed ao warm between them that It grew into a bitter feud. Mutual friends attempted a reconciliation, but the fiion would not reconcile. Finally Deacon Wlilte became dangerously 111 and drew nigh unto death. Mutual friends again Interposed their kind offlcee to effect a reconciliation. They said to Brother Jones that It would bo a sin to permit the sick brother to die with the quarrel standing. Joma was porsuadod and called on Deacon White. The two men talked over the grievances, and, agreeing to let them be buried, shook handstand exchanged mutual forgiveness In the pre Hence of death. The deacon tlfen lay back on his pillow awaiting his final summons, and Jones arose to leave. But as the visitor reached the door, Deacon White, with a great effort, raised him self on his elbow and called out in a weak, faltering voice: " 'Brother Jones 1 Brother Jones! I Willi it distinctly understood that if I get well the old grudge stands.' " Lincoln laughed at the conclusion oi the story, saying that was about the way be felt toward the French emperor. He manifested strong feeling on this subject, and said the creation of the em pire, especially by force, at our very doors, was exceedingly offensive and could not be overlooked by the United States. It had caused him great annoy ance, as be was not In a condition toto turfere so as to prevent it He express ed hiuiBelf strongly In favor of the po sition taken by President Monroe liynia celebrated message to congress, in which he declared against the acquisi tion of any territory on this continent by any foreign power.

H aairl that since in rew iw. - - - in a certain Connecticut town there had Miss Hill aucceeded in getting to gether a rare and unique collection for the loan exhibit given in her depart ment of the Independence public schools last Friday and Saturday. The collections were contributed Dy we citizens of this vicinity and consisted largely of pioneer and war relics. ' The din lav was very well arranged and attracted more than ordinary in terest. Among the pioneer curios was a quilt, the handiwork of Mrs. Nancy OotTof this city, which was awaro.su the blue ribbon at the first agricultural fair held In thia county at Ellendale Mills, a few miles west or Jjauas, id 1850. The quilt Is remarkably well rvori anrl would be considered to day a skillful piece of needlecraft. - i,il.ltlnn numerous mere were uu . articles of pioneer household furniture, the rude handicraft or tne eariy pi neera. Also autograph letters written by pioneers long since gone to that "bourne from whence no traveler re turns," and numerous old-style da guerreotypes of the men and wonKea who first settled this couniry. There were also numerous relics from the historic battle fields of the revolution ary aud the late civil war and the Ore gon Indian ware. V- An interesting curio was a manu script certificate of membership in a Masonio lodge, which bears tne ancieuu date of 1702. A btautiful collection of sea shells from the coaat cf Southern California attracted a good deal of at tention. There were numerous other collections of interest which we have not space to mention.

Prof. Wiemer eave a piano solo, and Mr. Harry Bal linger sang a vocal solo. bupt. lrwm said, owing to the small audience pres ent, that he would defer delivering his scheduled lecture until another time In the near future, when he hoped to meet audience.

At times hie remarks were truly eloquent and Jie nloaed bv navine a Blowing tribute to the patriotism and resistless energy of the American people. The Grand Army post expect to ar r&nire an early date for Mr. Irwin's lec ture on "A Nation Saved ; a Nation Re deemed," at which time the people of Independence and vicinity will have an opportunity to hear this gifted speaker Highest of .11 in Leavening Power.
