The bill pro vide for a pension of $13 a month instead of $9 as at present to all wid ows of veterans of the Civil war, married prior to June 27, 1890. All widows of veteran of the Mexican and Indian and all widows of Spanish war veteran who died of diseases contracted in services. Representative French of Idaho be lieves ths government should deal more' liberally with the boye who wore the blue and their oorviving widows. Mr. Preach would re adjust the scale giving the "honorably discharged soldier who servd 90 days or more" a pension of $13 to th 63 year-old veterana; increasing it W $15 when they are 65 and to $30 when they ar 0 Mr. French proposes to equalize th widows' pension to $12 per month regardless of the cause of the soldier' death. , Being the 32d of February, the corps thought it a fitting time to cele brate the H6tli anniversary of the birth of George Washington, first president of the United States. The ball was beautifully decorated with Old Glory "eves where in evidence. The comrade of Gen. Logan Post No. 39, G A R and their wives had been invited.'

Thomas Lauler of Rockford, 111., who was widely know in G A R circles as a Nstional aud Department oommander, alto for many years as commander of Merius Post No. 1 at Rockford of which Mr. Alverson was also a member In his Illinois home. Mr Petersen said a couple of stran gers had called at bis office cn a busi ness errand and noticing he was dressed In uniform asked an explana tion. He informed them that he was going to an entertainment given by the Womans Relief Corps. They were very much surprised that so large an oiganitation shoold be remembered aod celebrated in so small a place. Too bad those incredulous strangers coo Id not have had a glimpee of onr beautifully decorated hall in memory of the Immortal George Washington, and the happy chatting, laughing crowd within, they would bava been favorably reminded that patriotism and sociability are very large factors io our progreisive little city. At the close of the entertainment a delicious lunch was served and a pleasant social hour was passed. The purple aud golden rays of a glorious sunset were flooding the Rogue River Valley when goodbye and goodnight were exchanged, thus ending another profitable and pleasant day in the history cf the Womans Relief Corps.
