RALLY HOUSES
REPUBLICAN VOTERS
The Republican rally at the
Family Theatre last Friday was
well attended, although the night
whs stormy and very disagree­
able. The ma i n speaker was
Major Cassius R. Peck of Port­
land, who is a war veteran with
an overseas record. He proved
to be a brilliant and forcible
speaker and made a deep impres­
sion on his hearers. He devoted
most of his time to denouncing
the inefficiency of the adminis­
tration in its war department
showing the flagrant waste in
expenditure and handling o f sup­
plies. He paid his respects to
the league of nations, which he
denounced and showed what he
considered the dangers to this
country from it, if it should be
adopted. He urged also that a
Republican senator should be
elected from this state as it was
most important that the Repub­
licans should have a majority in
the upper house, otherwise if
Harding is elected he will he
seriously handicapped i n his
efforts. Major Peck was fol­
lowed by Alto ney Levy Stipp
of Oregon, City, who is running
for • ec.ion, and Harvey Cross
who is Republican candidate for
county judge. Both these gen­
tlemen dwelt on their past ser­
vices for thé* county, promising a
square deal to the whole county.

Pow er H ouse B urns
Estacoda was suddenly plunged
in darkness last night between
nine and ten o’clock. The rea­
son was that the power house at
Faraday caught fire. It started
with one of the generators and
spread to an oil switch which
blew up, and ignited and com­
pletely demolished the roof. A
crew from Portland was sent out
to the scene and have been busi­
ly engaged in repairing the dam­
age so as to get the light ser­
vice 'restored.
The estimated
loss will be considerable.
Foot Ball G am e
Our school team will play on
the homeground, Forest Grove,

Our boys in spite of their injuries
last Saturday are in fine fettle
with their morale unshaken.
Come and see them give the vis­
itors the game of their young
lives.

Rally
The democrats are to have
an innings Tuesday night at the
Family Theatre. It may be ex­
pected that Cox will be lauded,
Harding lambasted, Wilson apo­
theosized and his league of na­
tions extolled to the skies. Well
turn about is fair plav.
Let us
hope after election that the re­
publican and democrat will live
as peaceably together as the lion
and the lamb when the milleni-
um comes.

good things, cookies for your
Sunday dinners. This will be a
splendid opportunity for laying
in your first supply o f Christmas
gifts.
The time and plate will be an­
nounced later.
A M ontrosity
The Astoria Budget may be
crediied w i t h a striking and
homely illustration of the utter
utility of the 4 and' 5 per cent
interest bill. It is:
Would a law prohibiting fisher­
men from selling salmon in Ore­
gon for more than 5 cents a pound
compel them to sell for 5 cents?
It would not. They would mar­
ket their salmon in Washington,
where higher prices were offered.
No more, either, will a law limit­
ing the legal rate of interelt to 4
and 5 per cent compel lenders to
put their money in Oregon. They
would send it across the border,
where they can get 7 and 8.
Economic law is not concerned
w ith state lines. No mere state
s t a t u t e can repeal it.
But
it may do great mischief. That
was what was intended, no doubt.
It is inconceivable that so bald
and gross a montrosity was put
on the ballot in good faith.
We had the pleasure Saturday
of a call from R. B. Beatie of
Oregon City, the Democratic
nominee for county judge. He
publishes in this paper a state­
ment of what he accomplished
when county judge some years
ago, in getting the timber hold­
ings in the county cruised of the
various timber corporations, so
as to properly tax them.
There 'will be service« both morning
and evening next Sunday at 11:00 a. m.
and 7:30 p.m. Sunday Sehool at 10:00
a. m., Yeung People’s Meeting at 6:30

Everyone cordially invited to
attend these services. '

A Little Nonsense
A friend who frequently sends
squibs to the Portland papers,
has favored us with this one;
Widow Buckley was arguing a
debate with her daughter on
marriage, when the Mama said
to the daughter:
“ Hold y ’ r
whist, shet y ’ r tongue, I was
married before you were born.’ ’
At La Grande some years ago,
one of the ministers was leaving
for California. It was then fall
and he was talking with another
minister outside the hotel.
The
latter was groaning about the
cost of his winter’s supply of fu­
el, when the other remarked
with evident self congratulation,
“ I ’ m going where I won’t need
to buy fuel.” Just then a pass­
ing traveling man said with a
grin, “ I thought ministers were
headed in a different direction.”
