The terms Of Office OF Aldermen Knivel,

whether they will be after the places Tor

what position the others will take Is not

The caucus will probably serve to
awaken interest in the election as the
fight is generally harder after the regular

MAY DAY.

The observance of this once popular
day, the day for amusement and free
dom from care, is of very uncertain
origin. Ovid traced the origin to the
mother of Mercury, while other author
ity, equally good, pronounces the cele-
bration and festivals of this day to be an
old Teutonic custom. Among the early
Romans the day was held sacred to
Apollo and on every day of the month
high festival was held, the ninth,
eleventh and thirteenth being observed
in memory of the dead, but on the first
day was held the greatest floral and
festal rites of which Chaucer speaks in
knights Tales:'
Forth goeth all the court, bottle
moste and leste, to feche the flowers
freshe, and branch and blome."
During the middle ages the month
was ushered in by popular merriment in
all European nations, but no connection
was held between these festivities and
the celebration or Roman festival of
Floralia which was held on the twenty
eighth of April. In England the"going
a-maying" which Chaucer mentioned
was common recreation Festivities
began early and the search for the May
flower. commonly known as the trailing
arbutus, was made while the dew was
on the ground. Doors and windows of
houses were gailv decorated and May
poles were erected and the prettiest girl
in the village was chosen queen of the
May. In Germany instead of queen
was chosen count of May, generally
the wittiest and most handsome youth.
The May day frolics consisted of satires
on life at court. 1t is curious and in
teresting fact that this quaint old Gus
tom, handed down through so many
centuries, entirely disappeared in Eng
land with the exodus of the Puritans.
In Denmark the day is still observed by
the peasants who rise early to see the
sun dance. In the Highlands it is
called Beltein day, fires are built and
ceremonies in reference to Baal. sun
worship, are held There has never
been any regular observance of the day
in this country.

quent on this program than is usual on
such occasions many of the most inter
esting addresses being either committed
to memory or entirely extempore.
Where so many were fine it seems
unfair to specialize; but the addresses
of Madames Governor Lord, Narcissa
White Kinney, w. H. Games, Bronson
Salmon, Judge Ward and Sara Reed
were particularly fine.
The able, liberal and eloquent adj
dress of Hon. G. f. S Wood, one of
Oregon's leading lawyers, was telling
evidence that the most progressive and
intelligent men are interested in wO-
mans advancement. Owing to illness
Mr.. Wood could not appear, but Mrs.
Dunniway read his address with full
expression, and with justice to the hon
orable gentleman.
Too much cannot be said of Abigail
Scott Dunniway as a presiding officer
Eminently popular among men as we'll

appointed leader of the woman move
ment on the Pacific coast. Through her
long years of leadership in the great
Northwest, she has made herself be-
loved among the people, and particular
ly acceptable to the voters of her COM
munitv. As the voters are the most
important factor in our battle for equal
-i,rht oil ;n1 TO
nOne' she Is to be congratulated. She
was from the first to last in most hap
py mood never allowing the interest to
flag. Her closing address, in which she
read-with happy little incidents and
Judges of the supreme court of Idaho;
letters from leading lawyers of Utah,
Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado, express
ing their approval of and perfect salts
faction with equal sufferages in their
respective states, was the happiest
chit" OF the Congress. AS she brought
down the yellow-ribboned gavel, closing
this successful congress, Mrs w. W.
Spalding went forward with beautiful
floral tribute of yellow roses
This called forth round of applause
and in answer to ringing call from
another lady in the house-whose name
did not get-"Three cheers for Mrs.
Dunniway!' the cheers were given to
the echo.
l know of no more fitting close to this,
my tribute to the women of the congress,
than to append the following editorial
which appeared in the Portland Even
ing Telegram the day after the congress
closed.

One hundred and thirty-five appren
tice boys have been transferred from
the school ship Essex to the different
vessels now fitting for possible action.
These boys, although all under the age
OF y wears, have served their time of
pprerticeship, and will, from this time,
do the work of seamen. Upon the vari-
Gus school ships where they receive their
training, order and discipline as rigid
as that observed in standing army is
exercised, which begun and enforced as
it is, from the time for entering service
until they are assigned to real duty,
makes the obedient and efficient seamen
whose bravery and adherence to duty,
characterized the surviving heroes
of the Maine. What legion of moth
ers, struggling to make their girls useful
women, would rise up and call Uncle
Sam blessed were he to institute some
training school for girls, whose work in
its more feminine way, is as necessary
to the country's comfort as is the service
given by the Jack-tars.

WASCO LETTER.

terminus, a glance around shows busy
little p ace; carpenters at work eXca
waiting and erecting new brick buildings
or painting the old wooden ones, while
in the distance is seen the remains of
the enormous wheat piles, that will
soon begin to grow again. Walking Or
riding to higher ground, the entire
country is spread before you with it's
gently rolling fields of wheat in various
stages of growth, and the different shades
of green exhibited, furnishing a coloring
most beautiful a picture most complete
and framed by lofty mountain ranges
Klickitat, Hood, Adams, jefferson,
Rainier, Olympia and SimcOe to the
north and west and the Blue mountains
to the south and east.
The people are prosperous, healthy
and intelligent class with no knowledge
of what hard farm work means. You
have only to look upon one of their giant
harvesters at work to be confirmed in
this opinion. This big machine will
have forty horses attached and with six
men to guide it will cut, thresh and
sack ready for market forty acres per
day. What would Mexican think of
that? The farmers own great tracts of
land, which is all under cultivation, and
with but few exceptions live upon it.
This fact is significant as it is a deplor-
able truth that most of the land in Him
ois and Iowa is owned by foreign capi-
tai, which of course is unimproved as
renters will not spend energy and time
in improving land not their own.
Every few miles in our surrounding
country church spire is seen and be-
side it a school house, in which presides

elections are of general interest and the
women take an active part in all such
matters, and while we cannot claim all
the credit due, we are happy in the
possession of good schools and good
teachers, and it is a matter of great
pride with us that our young people are
fitted for college at an early age. An
other interesting feature is that we have
only one saloon in the county, the men
resisting all appeals made in the shape
of bribes and threats for the establish
ment of such places in Wasco and Moro.
