All Americans, young or old, ought to know that February 22nd was Washington's birthday. And every sohool boy kuows tbe story of George Washington, bis hutcbet and tbe cherry tree. He is one man at least who has tbe en viable reputation of hav ing never told a falsehood. The per sonal life and great deeds ot this famous man are well known to the greater majority of American citizens. But, however, it may be news to some to learn that the father of bis contry wore artificial teeth. Yes, such was the case, aud they were among the great commanders most prized earthly possessions. He realized the. import ance of having satisfactory mastica tors no doubt from tbe standpoint of health, one, of the most important things pertaining to our residence on this earth. Yon may wish to emulate this great man in this respect, "aud have an artificial set of teeth that you will also prize highly, after they are ouoe iu your possession. Or you i may wish to conform more to the now prevailing and up to date ideas of having decayed or otherwise affect ed natural teeth filled, crowned, or otherwise operated ou so they can be permanently retaiued, thereby being a needed benefit and a source of satis faction.

MAKER OFTHE TRAIL EZRA MEEKER, PIONEER, ON A LONG JOURNEY. Intends to Place Granite Monuments to Mark Way Taken by Early Settler Crossing Plains. Ezra Meeker, tbe pioneer who came to Oregon in 1853 by way of the old Oregon trail, told a large gathering in the city ball at Portland why be bad started to retraoe the trail in his prairie schooner drawn by his. team of oxen and erect grtfnite monuments to mark the route by which the pioneers came to tbe northwestern territory, says the Journal. It was interesting to see tbe old pioneer with bis snow white head, but sturdy form, stand before his listeuers and to relate "his experience of early days and tell of his great desire to complete the work be has undertaken, that future generations may know the trail tbe pioneers traveled. In speaking of tbe discouragements be has received In seeking aid iu bis task the old man's voice trembled and he could scarcely speak for the sob in his throat. One man told him that bis efforts'wonld amount to noth ing, another that he did not desire to see him go out on tbe plains to die, wbile'a third friend had called him an old fool and advised him to re main at home. "Do I look like a man who was go ing to die?" he asked. "I do not think they should measure a man by bis age. Since I was married in 1856 I have never been serioulsy ill. I know my powers well enough to feel satisfied that I will be able to per form tbe task I have undertaken." An old inelodeon which has been in the Meeker family half a century was played by Miss Sadie Ford, and Miss Bertha Templeton, a granddaughter of Ezra Meeker.sang "Fifty Years Ago." Another song, entitled "Tbe Old Set tler,',' was sung and the pioneers present joined heartily in tbe chorus. A large number of stereopticon views of tbe scenes along tbe old trail were shown, as were also many Ore gon and Washington scenes, and the portraits of a large number of , pio neers of the northwest. With tbe assistance of George H. Himes Mr. Meeker explained each view as it was thrown upoujthe scene. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS Candidate for Treasurer.
