After driving around the park sev

this Idea. He would go to the butler
with the atory they had suddenly lot

their own work.
His wife embraced him for hta in

my this: I do wish that when any
person WTitea to the public they
would show at least a ematter of In

yesterday's paper tell of a man who
pays 120 more In rent than what his
two children cost In school, and evi
dently Imagines that this fact psys
the cost. Now anyone should know
that only the tax on that home goesj
to pay public expense and then lets;

man possibly live in a house that
pays $45 tax and aiS of that ls school
tax. I find a lot of people thaf. fig

Happy Days for Oregon ,

Visit to Mr. Roosevelt
By Mary Grelner Kelly.
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 8.
(Special Correspondence) "Happy
days are coming for Oregon. We shall
have even her cattle and lumber sltua.
tlon straightened out before long."
These encouraging words came from
President Roosevelt today. In bis half
hour visit with Congressman Charles
Martin.
Oeneral Martin's visit was In ans
wer to a direct summons by the
president, who wanted a chat with
him. The subject was "Oregon," and
the conversation covered a multitude
of problem now concerning the peo
ple of that state.
They reviewed the progress of Bon
neville Dam, a project dear to the
heart of President Roosevelt as well
as Oeneral Martin, who baa made
several trips on his own expense be
tween Oregon and Washington, D. C.
In It behalf.
According to General Martin, they
talked over the agricultural worries
of the state, as well aa those beset
ting Industry.
"In all of them," declared the pre
gon congressman, "President RooBe
velt expressed the keenest Interest.
offering now and then some sugges
tion for the possible relief of stress.
Unlike others back here, he seemed
glad t"hat Oregon received what has
been referred to as 'more than her
share of federal aid.' "
Turning lightly to the subject of
vacations, the President, according
to Congressman Martin, said that he
would like nothing better than to
take a "real trip through Oregon
some time."
With seven inches of snow on the
ground, Washington Is a playground
of sleigh-riding and Ice-skating these
days. The turn-over In children's

Washington 1 getting Its first taste
of repeal liquor thl week, and appar
ently enjoying it in Its own unper
turbable way. While moat of the
more popular restaurant and cafes
served liquor from 13 o'clock until

cely no rowdlness as a result of It.
And the restaurants were packed, too.

declared It was:
"Just like having been asleep for
16 years, and, suddenly awaking to
find the same bill -of -fare at my
elbow. Even the prices are much the
same for night clubs."
