lie done at once, ascongreas ii now in
acHaion and these petitions should del

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

doors, was exceedingly offensive and
could not be overlooked by the United
States. It had caused him great annoy

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. The proceeds

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

the patriotism and resistless energy of
the American people.
