INTRODUCES SOME YOUNG RELA-

county, Missouri. Surely nothing
but wedding could make such an
excitement among the female por-
ton OF the population, or draw
such a throng to the little church
on busy week day as gathered
there on that bright June morning.
And a wedding it was-Miss Polly
Summers and Charley
whom every young man IN the
church regarded as the luckiest
fellow in the country, but decided
that this was the best day mas
much as it was the earliest possible
under the circumstances, in which
to take each other for better or
worse.
But a Slight cloud rested upon
the groom's brow that morning
even as he stood up beside his
pretty bride to receive the minis
ter's blessing 1t shaped itself
something Ike this:
after this little business is over,
what am going to do with this
little wife of mine ? Where are we
going to live and how are we going
to subsist ?"
After the ceremony, justas Char
ley was pondering over how he
might best pierce the crowd and
land his precious burden upon the
outgoing homeseekers excursion
train for Oregon, a persistant little
youngster sidled up. to Polly and
slipped an envelope into her hand.
Once on board the train, it didn't
take Polly long to discover that
the letter was from Dear Uncle
Josh" (the Hon. Joshua Tomp-
kins), an old bachelor and a pio-
neer of Hood River, Wasco county,
Oregon, rich, generous and level
headed, and one Of the largest
strawberry and fruit grower in the
Hood River Valley, who proposed
if the young couple would start at
once for Oregon and help him
harvest his berry crop he would
start them out in life as a wedding
present.
by Jove It's the very thingw
said Charley, and from that mo-
ment the question was settled and
load was lifted off his mind.
After pleasant trip the party
arrived in Hood River and were
met at the train by Uncle Josh.
They were driven at once to his
palatial residence on mob Hill
where ,umptious breakfast had
been prepared for the newly we'd
dcd pair.
"When breakfast is over" re-
marked Uncle Josh, L must take

to garret. Get every thing youneed,
suggested Uncle Josh, for Bartmess'
prices cannot be egualled, and thereis
no need of sending to Portland for
anything as long as we have such Il
house in town.
A pretty good start, says the old
man, land now we'll visit j Il. Rand's

ion to my old friend j. +. Rand. He

roof You'll find everything there
from a barrel Of -four to a paper Of

Polly was soon busily engaged i'll
selecting the kitchen utensils for the
new house. "You can get just what
YOU want commented Uncle Josh.
"There is not an establishment in
this county that carries a more com
prehensive stock of cooking machi-
merry" Every possible piece OF kitch-
en- furniture from tin dipper to
coaking range is here in all styles and
variety. If Polly fails to accomplish
wonders in the culinary art it Will
not he for the want Of superior cook
ing utensils for she purchaseda Su-
perior range and a Perfection, wick
less, blue-hame quick meal oil stove
with all other equipments needed ina
well regulated kitchen, while Charley
ordered two Bridge & Beach celebra-
ted air-tight wood heaters for the
library. coal heater for the parlor, all
of which Uncle Josh paid for with
delight. because he knew that Mr..
Rand had treated bin right, just as
he always treats everybody.
You can't do much housekeeping
without dishes, crockery and such,
suggested Uncle Josh. j. Il. Rand
has one OF the biggest stocks of
crockery and glassware found in
Wasco county. and warrant that
his prices are as low as they can be
purchased in Portland, or elsewhere,
for that matter. SO pick out what
you want, and III foot the bin. y
Polly was soon husily engaged in
selecting a complete outfit OF house
hold crockery, from dishes to glass
ware, and she declared that the
quality OF the goods was superior
and the prices lower than could be
purchased back east"
All OF sudden Polly'S inquisitive
eyes fell on the shoe department,
"Oh me! Oh N.Y. she calculated,
what perfectly lovely slipper,

policy not to have extended that
invitation. hadnot Uncle Josh known
what wise economy il is to trade at
J +. Rand's, for Polly found goods
and prices SO seductive that she pur-
chased an Outfitfrom a pretty slipper
to a handsome walking boot.
Charley invested in gents walking
shoes. while Uncle Josh INDUCED in a
stout boot, with ubbers for the
crowd, With an eye to cold weather,
Uncle Josh suggested to Charley that
they would need German socks. SO
a supply Of this comfortable foot
wear was purchased.

Very Likely TO be an Ad-
verse Report on the On
nibuS Bill

Warrington, D. c., Nov. 2S.-Gosslp
about possible statehood legislation
has been stimulated by dispatches
from the west lntimating that the com.
mittee on territories Of the senate will
favor the admission of Oklahoma and
the rejection Of Arizona and New Mex
leo. Senator Quay wa in Washing
ton when the dispatches were made
public. The Pennsylvania senator re-
fused this morning to enter nto a long
discussion of the statehood question.
He has made II clear, however, that
no matter what the committee on
territories may report he shall insist
upon the admission Of the three terri
tories as states.
1t is claimed by those who are urg
ing that admission Of the three terri
tories tina, President Roosevelt is
supporting their contention. These
friends of statehood declare that with
the admission of the three territories
ten certain votes in the electoral col
lege will be gained for the Repubh-
cans, if Mr.. Roosevelt is the nominee
New Mexico has shown that It is con.
csrned only in the statehood question
by ree,ecting Delegate Rodey by a
vote of FIVE to one. He L. a Republi-
can. The vote was given to prove the
one issue which concerned New Mex.
leo was that of statehood II a Re
publican cons. .ess should admit the
territory there would be no doubt Of
its party alignment, IT is asserted.
Mcclure. Republican, has been
elected delegate by a small majority
from Oklahoma, but the friends OF
President Roosevelt insist that he
would carry the new 5tate by an over
whelming majority provided the Re
publicans should admit it to statehood.
Arizona went Democratic at The last
election It is asserted, however, and
wi h reason. that Mr. Roosevelt could
carry this 1tate for president in 1909.
If as is alleged by the Republican
friends Of .atehood, the electoral yc'
OF the new states would be given Mr
Roosevelt iJ would add six new Re
publican ssua.ors and keep the senate
certainly Republican, not matter what
changes might be made in the east fol
six years longer.
Senator Quay is one of the shreWA
est Republican politicians. He has
proved himself the sincere politica
friend Of Mr.. Roosevelt His supper
cf tie statei ood proposition is. there
fore. not only tuc to personal but po
litical reasons, and If it carries with
1t the influence of the administration
the committe on territories will have
an uphill fight to maintain itself IL
its alleged decision TO reject Arizoni
and New Mexico.
It is known here that certain mem
bers Of the committee on territorie
are as determined to admit Arizoni
and New Mexico as Senator Beyeridg
is said to be to reject them. Eve
should the dispatches prove to be cor
rect that the Indiana senator with
majority Of the committee will submit

event the omnibus statehood bin wi
