HEROES HONORED

PORTLAND, Or, June 5.-W. F
Ellis has emerged from the clouds o.
uncertainty and is now certain that
he will again be congressman from
Oregon from the second district. His
reelection has been made sure by the
returns from Grant, Malheur and
Union counties. The vote, which is
sufficiently complete to prevent the
result from being changed by the few
counties in which scattering precincts
have not been heard from, is Ellis,
II 2l2: Quinn. II, ,58l.
In the first district a few votes either
way will decide whether Tongue or
Wand rburg will go to Washington.
rhe correction of errors discovered in
The count has so changed the totals
hat Vanderburg is now only IS votes
ahead, the returns so far being: Van
ierburg, 10, 156; Tongue, 1903. These
figures, however, do not include Curry
county. where Tongue is reported to
have a majority of l05 votes, which
would change Vanderburg's plurality
of l43 to 80, or wipe it out altogether,
in case the majority in Curry should
not turn out to be d plurality.
Tongues principal gains have been
made in Lane and Linn, and Wander
burg has lost in Clackamas.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-A proposed

next two fiscal years. 1t is thought
the senate will accept the compromise.

NEARING THE EN- D

WASHINGTON, June IF, as now
seems probable, the first session 54th
congress ends this week, it will be the
shortest so-colled ''long session" since
that of the 3jth congress-, and one of
the shortest in the history of the gov
ernment. This record is partly due to
the political difference between the
senate. house and president, which
has forestalled agreements on lines of
legislation and partly due to the de-
termination with which the republican
leaders in the house have carried into
effect Speaker Reeds caucus predic-
tion that the congress would be do
nothing assemblage. Legislation
means appropriations, the house lead
ers have saii, and as their opinion was
that the treasury's condition warranted
no appropriations, except the most
imperative, they have held the doors
tightly shut against classes of bills
which usually receive the parings.

These women have joir ed the insur-

The Lecture Course.


Recently, in the Plain Dealer
suggestion was made that the citizens
of Cresco might unite with those of
neighboring cities and secure course
of lectures for the winter. AS re.
suit of this suggestion learn that
few of those interested have consider
ed the question of how some of the
winter evenings could be proftably
used. AS result of this preliminary
talk, it was thought that the money
required to make such course sue.
cess was needed for other public uses,
and that interest in this direction
could be better secured by using the
talent we had at home.
Many of us will recall a winter,
when some years ago, literary society
filled the Congregational church to
the doors of an evening every two or
three weeks, with the reading of short
papers, recltations, and musical reel.

Why can't we find in our churches
and schools and from the outsiders
such material as will give amusement.
instruction and profit to all? Why
can't we use what ability we have at
home for this purpose and have a
series of lectures and entertainments
free to all? 1t is to be hoped that
those who have interested themselves
in this matter will mature plan with
favorable results. A. B,
