Glad TO Get Rack.

Charles B. Prathar and wife, who
went East with the Grand Army ex-
cursion, last September, to Washington
City, returned on Sundays afternoon
train. They have been living in WASH
ingtOn City all this time. Charley
thought by being close tn the pension
office he could get AN Increase of pen
sion, which he well deserves, bat found
that pensions cannot be any more
readily obtained there than here, 5000
miles from the pension office. The
pension officials turn deaf ear to the
applicant who is there to plead his own
case, and cannot be induced 10 act on a
claim out of its regular order. Charley
says that after the crowds that attend
ed the Grand Army encampment left
Washington the city seemed deserted,
and there was no work to be had for
an old man like him. With only his
pension of IS month for an income
he found it pretty close picking. 0eca-
sionally he got job of carrying in
coal, for which he would get about 35
cents for half days work. Finally
he went to peddling boquets of flow
ers, and things began to come bis way.
He had struck the tide in the affairs
Of men which'-if it dida't lead him
on 20 fortune and to fame-got him the
wherewith to get back TO Oregon,

The picnic last Saturday at the Little
White Store was a success In more
ways than one. Ye editor and wife
were here and renewed old acquaint-
ances and seemed to enjoy the day
Quite bevy of young ladies from Pine
Grove walked over and spent the day.
The crowd was not large, owing to the
busy season, but those present had a
right merry time. In the evening
quite party gathered around bon.

perse. The small boy celebrated with
tire-crackers, and everything passed of
pleasantly. Come again.
Roswell Shelley and wife took their
lunch basket last Sunday and passed Il

The bridge at Winans is completed,
and the Mount Hood Lumber company

soon have private telephone line from
his place to town. Another evidence
of the benefits of the phone.
The winning number on the quad
ruple plated silver set at the Little
White Store was 1877. Glare Crockett
was the lucky fellow, and when the re-
suit was announced, last Saturday, he
cheerfully treated the crowd to ice
cream. Clare is all right, for he gave
this handsome set of siverware to his
mother, who is the best friend he has
OIL earth. The young man who loves
bis mother will not go far wrong but
what he will return and finally take
the right road.
