From Saturdays Daily.


Some of our new type has been used
in this issue

In the recent city election in Florence,

Women suffrage is evidentl,. advancing
in Oregon.
Mt Hood Camp, Woodmen of the
World. will have an Easter sociable next
Tuesday evening in Fraternity hall. An
excellent programme of literary exercises
has been prepared, and very enjoyable
time may be expected.
A lodge of Knights of Pythias will
soon be organized at Lone Rock, some
- Ill
organization. 26x60 feet hall is to be
built for the lodge during the coming
summer by joint stock company, half
of the stock having already been sub
scribed.
At the regular meeting of Columbia
Lodge, No. 5, 1. o. o. F., last evening a
committee of five was appointed to make
the necessary arrangements for cele-
bration of April 26th, the seventy sixth
anniversary of the institution of Odd Eel
lowship in the United States. Columbia
Lodge is one the oldest Odd Fellows
lodges in the state, and its annual cele-
brations of the anniversary of the insti
tuition of the order are very interesting.
The fad of sending people and things
on around the world and across the
continent tours will soon be too COM
mon to be interesting. In the express
car on Tuesdays train southwark on
the Southern Pacific was lady's slip
per, or low-cut shoe, which had
travelled all the way from Rhode
Island. Express messengers and agents
along it's tour had tagged it until there
were inscriptions enough upon it to fill
a newspaper page.
The cost of producing wheat in Ar
gentine is 35 to 40 cents bushel. The
cost of producing wheat in Eastern
Oregon is from % to 81 cents bushel.
The reason why the Eastern Oregon
farmer cannot compete with the Ar
gentine farmer is because the latter is
closer to the worlds markets than the
Eastern Oregon farmer; but the Nicar-
aqua canal completed will more than
overcome all difficulties and differ
ences.
The civil authorities of Washington
county bid fair to break up one of the
boldest robber gangs ever known in
that section. For several years petty
burglaries have been frequent and
numerous throughout the vicinity be-
tween Scappoose and the Yamhill
county line. 1t has seemed to have
been almost impossible to make con-
victions, owing to the shrewd work of
the organization. Now life has been
put into the effort to bring the leaders
to justice.
Mrs, William Odell and children re-
turned to Oregon last Saturday from
Missouri. Mrs. Odell was dissatisfied
with this country, and about the first
of the year with her children returned
to her old home in Missouri, and Mr..
Odell expected to go back as soon as
he got his business so arranged that he
could, but as soon as Mrs. Odel1 got
back and saw how things were, she
wrote right back to Mr.. Odell not to
come.-F'ossI Journal.
The Japanese soldier may be drilled
into the semblance of his European
model, both in uniform and maneuvers,
but he keeps his own characteristics
Just the same. He marches without
flags or music, awakes without the re-
veille, goes to his meals or drill with
out drum or bugle. He is stole with
no sentimental speeches or ballads
about home, but only fierce sense OF
patriotism, as shown in the defiant and
bloodthirsty songs of the present cam
paign. The Japanese are excellent
for artillery work, but comparatively
poor marlsmen with small arms.
