sell out their entire stock of furniture
and carpets at cost.
In the state printing office at Salem
yesterday work wa: started on the hi
ennial report of the weather bureau, by
B. S. Pague, assistant director. This
report is very. complete and reflects
credit on the compiler, who has given it
careful attention and research. The in
formation it contains will prove of great
benefit to the public, setting forth, as it
will, complete data on the climatology of
Oregon.
The bright little five-year-old Marie,
daughter of Frank and Anna Brown of
Grants, died at 9 80 p. m. last evening
in this city, after an intense suffering of
two weeks from bowel complaint. Mr..
A. Mckinley, jr., of Portland, brother
in-law of Mr.. Brown, Mrs. Walter
Frame, sister of Mrs. Brown, and Miss
Hattie Lovelace of Grants, were here
assisting the parents in their efforts to
relieve the patient little sufferer, for
whom all was done that it were possible
to do, but without success. The re-
mains will be taken to Portland this
afternoon for burial. We extend our
sympathies to the bereaved ones.

adopted resolutions iDstructing the leg
islative committee to draft and present
bill for the legislature, increasing the
military fund of the state from one fifth
to two-fifths of mill, and asking for an
additional appropriation of 500, 900 to
meet present deficiencies. The Tele-
gram says it was one of the largest and
most enthusiastic meetings of the
Officers Association that has ever been
held in the state. Capt. McCully, in a
legislative action speech, showed how it
was that the militia proposes to carry
the bullet and the ballot in the same
haversack. making it a political citizen
soldlerly. We quote from the report
Captain McCully struck the keynote of
the situation when he said that the
militia in his and adjoining counties
were the deciding element IN the cleo
tion of their Legislators. The Oregon
National Guard holds the balance of
power in its hands. Too often has the
militia been worked for political pur-
poses, and. too little has that power
been recognized. Men went to the leg
islature on promises made the citizen
soldiers. 1t is time they were redeem
ing their pledges"
