HOME
SEEKERS
Horses For Uncle Sara.
Charles Clancey, equally as well
known in Portland as in the state
of Washington, arrived in Port
land yesterday. Mr. Clancey has
a contract with the Government to
furnish Uncle Sam's cavalry ser-
vice with several hundred horses.
Mr. Clancey. after scouring the
State of Washington for horses
that are up to the Government's
requirements, has decided that
Oregon-bred horses are the ones he
wants. While Mr. C.'ancey's con
tract does not call for 2000 horses,
he will buy that many in the state.
He has been in correspondence
with a number of horse-raisers and
they will have their herds ready
when be visits their ranches.
If a woman isn't quite sure of
her husband she always advertises
for a plain cook instead of a pretty
one.

Leave Michigan March I
For Monmouth
F. W. Cook an Old and Veil known
Resident of Monmouth
Passes away.
MONMOUTH
For several years families from
Michigan have been locating here
Wonderlul stories from the pens of
these seekers of homes have reached
the inhabitants of the ice bound
home of their childhood. The re
sult is that a car load of home seek
ers will leave Michigan March 1,
coming direct to Monmouth id
search of homes in the Blue Ribbon
County.
The tide of emigration is com
ing our way and Oregon is on the
eve of such development as even
the most optimistic haye never
dreamed.
F. II. Cook died at his home at
theri place Saturday February 18,
1905.
Mr. Cook was born in Kentucky
for the little fellows, fur they wern
completely tired out, and the game
ended with a score of 16 to 11 in
favor of Dallas. Good team work
was done on both teams and some
of the players will shine as stars on
the college teams before ma ny
years. Good feeling and clean
playing were features of the game
that are worthy of emulation by
the older tam.
