Confederate Vets
To Organize

-
To the ex Confederate Soldiers Re-
siding in Volusia County,
1t has been.dsemed eminently right
and proper by the undersigned that
the handful of old soldiers of the
Southern Comederacy residing in this
county should meet and effect an or.
ganization.
There are many good reasons for
doing this;'
l. The perpetuation of historic
truths. e. go.
2. The mutual benefits arising from
a closer and more intimate union Of
the. old soldiers.
3. The securing of enactment of
needed laws in regard to ex-Confeder-
ates.
These and many other matters 'un-
necessary to mention here, will sug-
gest themselves hereafter.
To the end, therefore, that such an
organization may be effected here in
Volusia county, the undersigned do
earnestly invite all of the surviving
Confederate soldiers residing in said
county to meet at the court house In
DeLand, Fla, on Monday, the ~ day
of May, 1908, for the purpose named.

years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Ruble started
out on their wedding tour across the

many thrilling adventures, one of
which they tell was when the Indians
held up their train and took most of
their provisions. That reduced them
to only small quantity of flour, which
they made into q small cake and divided
for their breakfast. They we're without

How We Grow.

The Oregonian has had a systematic
canvass of the state made, and accord
ing to the figures it has obtained Ore
gon in the period from January 81. 1902,
to March 81, 1908, has increased in pop
ulation more than "A 1000. This is a
greater increase than any other like
period in the history OF the state.
Oregon in June, 1900, was credited
by the United States census as having
population of 413,256. The natural
increase is about 21a per cent. Adding
the immigration in the 10 months from
June, 1900, to January, 1902, which was
probably not less than 15 1000, together
with the immigration of about $4,000
since the last date, would give Oregon
to-day a population of not less than
$4,000. str
The immigration to Oregon for the
past 15 months is credited to the vari-
GUS counties of the state by the Oregon
ian's estimate rs follows:
Baker 100, Benton 1000, Clackamas
$500, Clatsop 400, Columbia 40O Coos
