n year ago that the most gallant thing
that Admiral Dewey could do when he
returned home was 90 offer his hand

had proven herself as great heroine
as he had a hero. both In peace and
war This suggestion was seconded by
the press OF the country, and thous-
ands Of voices have been raised in It's
favor. The East oregonian is pleased
to report some progress in connection
with this matter, The people Of Three
Oaks, Mich, invited Admiral Dewey TO
visit that place and he accepted. They
also sent an invitation to Miss Gould
and she too accepted. And so these
