The modem bride now takes tho "stand
That she must have a ring more grand.

New York, Dee. 4. Tho girl next
door, is going to be married next week.
Her prospective supporter is busy look
ing for a job in the meantime. The
wedding bells may ring a little flat, to
the bridegroom's ears, but there'll be
nothing flat nbout the wedding ring.
It's platinum, set with eleven dia
monds. An unclinsed gold band may be
chaste, but it isn't chased after by
the Idl'i model brides. After all, this

Marion County Jersey
Breeders Organize
Among those who attended the or
ganization of the Marion Comity Jcr

general feeling thut Marion county was
1'sporiully adapted for Jersey cattle,
nnd tjnt as this hud been one of the
pioneer counties raising Jerseys, a Jer
sey breeding association could easily
be maintained.
At the meeting held yesterJny in the
rommercinl club, Henry Zorn, of St.

(Medford Mail Tribune.)
Mrs. Helen Hasking of Medford has
an interesting pioneer relic in a gov
ernment map of the "Oregon Terri
tory, published In 1841, containing
tho "latest information of the Hud
son Bay company and Lieut. Fremont's
U. a. T. bt. exploration east of the
rocky mountains. Tho Oregon terri
tory extends from the northern Cali
fornia boundary, 42 degrees parallel to
54 degrees 40 minutes north, contain
ing all that region west of tho Rocky
mountains." The map Bhows the coast
line from C'npe Mendocino to Dixon's
entrance. A smnllcr map shows the
Columbia river from Fort Walla Walla
to its mouth.
The map printed before the day of
Biirveys lu the west, is primarily the
work of exploration parties and Hud
son Bay trappers. Portland is not on
the mnp, as it did not then exist.
Neither is Oregon City, Salem, Albany,
tMigcne or other now tlounsmng cities.
Astoria and "Champooing" alone are
shown. Missions are shown at the
mouth of tho "Klacknmus,," at St.
Paul and on the Willamette. Fort
(JinpqiiB. near tho mouth of that
stream, is the only fort shown south of
Fort Vancouver.
Tho Willamette nnd Uninnna rivers
are shown, as is the "Too-too-tut-na or
Matnet ' rivor, witn a northern tribu
tary, tho "Shaste." Smith's river is
showa ns emptying into tho sea at
about tho present site of Crcscont City,
and tho "Klamet" about where the
Rogue empties. No lxoiruo river is giv

with the ".Nasty" river as its northern
branch.
"Mt. McLoughlin" is shown, some

Shake Plum Tree and Grab
For Places
Wushington, D. C, Dec. 4. The plum
treo was shaken.- today. Choice and
other committee chairmanships and as
signments of the new House woro to be
handed out. The Democratic cauciiB
will fix the committee slates to be
ratified by the democrat-controlled
house. Whether the heralded move
ment, to oust Kitchin as. Democratic
leader would materialize, was expect
ed to develop today. Important party
policies were up, including defense, ap
propriations, a budget system, ship pur
chase and otoher questions.
Another democratic caucus is planned
for next Tuesday to finally apportion
committee assignments for presenta
tion to the house Wednesday, this be
ing necessary before the house can ber
giu business. Several chairmanship
changes and reorganization of entire
committees, due to increased republican
and decreased bull moose representa
tion, were coisidored today. The slates
were largely, but tentatively framed
by members of the Ways and Means
committee. Chairman Saunders of Vir
ginia ruled the caucus. There has been
talk of opposition to him because of
his alleged opposition to tho adminis
tration's preparedness program. Wheth
er the administration would make the
defense bills party measures and bind
democratic support by caucus pledge
was to bo decided. Sherley, of Ken
tucky, proposed to thresh out the
causes of the special budget committee
deadlock over a scheme for systematiz

Grandma Smith Was Honored
by People of Aumsville
On Thanksgiving
(Capital Journal Special Rervice.)
Aumsville, Ore., Dec. 3 "Grandma"
Smith, a pioneer of 1840, celebrated her
95th birthday on Monday,. November
21), 1915, in tho Odd Follows' hall in
Aumsville, Ore, where about 125 of her
relatives and friends -, had assembled
with well filled baskots to help
"Grandma." observe the event. At
12:1)0 nil wero seated at a sumptuous
banquet, the immediate relatives prcs
cn wero Wesley Smith, of Tumor, Ore.;
Charley Smith, Alva Smith, May Smith,
Clara llowd, Edna Howd, Helen Smith,
Wallace Smith, Bliss Smith and Nova
Smith. ..ii
. Grandma Smith, whpsq. maiden name
was Susan T. Wright, was born in Ken
tucky, Novomber 29, 1820.
At the age of five years she moved
with her parcntB to Ft. Scott, Mo.' In
1837 she was married to. Henry Smith
from which union eight children were
born, three of whom are still living,
i. e., Wesley Smith, of Turner, Ore.;
Dnn Smith, of Arizona, and Mrs. Mary
E. Kuhl, of Walla Walla, Wash.
Ia 1840 they came to- Oregon by ox
team, arriving in Salom, December 2.1,
and occupied for a short time a partly
finished dwelling. There were no storesl
in Mnlam anil lint IL Prist mill. TllCV I
next moved to a log house out near
the present fair grounds.
In 1847 they took up a donation land
clnim near where Aumsville, Ore., now
stands and Grandma. Smith has resid
ed continuously 08 years on this cluim.
Grandma's memory is still quite keen
and she relates many of tho incidents
relative to the hardships of tho early
pioneers. . . ... .
After the ropaBt the house was called
to order by John Lewis, toastmnBter of
tho day, who asked the pioneer or near
pioneers present for addresses. The
first being answered by Henry W. Por
ter, who responded in a very able man
ner. Next K. E. McKinnoy with his
many jokes incident to the early life
in Oregon, royally entertained the au
dience. Ho was followed by Mrs. Anna
McKinney, who recited In a very pleas
ing way the poem entitled "Mother."
As the sun was sinking low in tho
western horizon nil arose and sang
"God Bo With You Till Wo Meet
Again." After wishing Grandma many
returns of the day ull deported for
their several homes feeling much bet
ter for tho pleasures of the day.
THEY'RE NEVER T30M SALEM.
(La Grande Observer.)
Strange, isn't it, how when a man
gets inoculated with the state house
microbe and moves to Salem; how, af
ter spending nearly ten years in tiie
soft atmosphere of office snatching
and state warrant cashing, ho is never
content to cull Salem his homo.
A case of that kind hHS just come to
the Burfaee. H. H. Coroy, who lias
been on t tie state pay roll since 19U7
during which time ho bus resided u ml
worked in Kalein, announces that he is
going to run for railroad commissioner
for the eastern Oregon district "from
Buker county."
Of courso Baker county cannot help
such a traveraity. It can only protest,
but Mr. Corey can continue to claim
Baker as his homo because ho journeys
there biennially und casts his vote.
The fact is Mr. Coroy is a citizen of
the Willamette valley just ns much ni
if ho hud been born ihoro and had web
feet, He is not only that; he la a
citizen of Hiileui the political melting
pot of Oregon, whore tho day is count
ed lost unless a few representatives of
each political party meet und "frame
up" something.
If Mr. Chrey thinks he is going to
fool the "sovereign squat" of Eastern
Oregon into believing that he is from
Buker he is mistaken. - Very much so.
Knstern Oregon knows a Willamette
citizen as soon as we see him canter
down the pavement, end .eastern Ore
gon does not for a moment intend to
have one of those beloved water-soaked
brothers represent her when it
comes to wrestling with freight rate
and other problems that originate enst
of the mountains.
Take down your shingle Mr. Corey,
they's got your Dumber.
On Committees
last caucus. Selection of new mem
bars to fill vacnncies on the naval and
military committees, because of their
effect -on preparedness legislation, it
considered an especially important.
There are four democratic vacancies on
the naval and fivo on the military com
mittees. The caucus is to determine
whether these places, which might give
committee control, shall be filled by
big or little navy and nrmy mc.nbers,
friends or foes of the program. A move
was reported started to oust little navy
moil now assigned to naval affairs.
I ino ionowing pronnueup tnnirmon
: are sluted for retention: Padgett,
i nnvul; Hay, military: Henry, rules:
(Moss, banking; Fitzgerald, appropria
tions; Webb, judiciary; Lewis, labor;
Alexander, merchant marine; Adamson,
I. C. C; Floyd foreign affairs.
Five new democrats are to be assign
ed to both tho important foreign affairs
and banking committees. Committee
apportionment to givo the divnocrats n
majority on all large committees, made
a knotty problem. Because of the over
whelming democratic majority in the
last house, tho important committees
having 21 members were divided among
14 democrats nnd seven republicans and
progressives. The republicans are insist
ing upon much larger shares of commit
tee assignments in the present house be
cause of tho increased republican repre
sentation, from 125 to 11)0.
Tho republicans will also control com
mittee jobs of the Beven progressives
and of the single socialist and inde
pendent members. The bull moose have
previously been given ono plnco on
I each important committee. .
