Mr.. Bryan would not discuss the
probable presidential candidates on
either the republican or democratic
tickets in 1908. He was introduced
to Mayor Lane this morning as the
"next president" but he steadfast-
ly refused to offer prophecy regard
ing a matter, the discussion of which
would have lead Into personalities
And he maintained the same posi-
tion regarding possible republican
candidates for the presidency.
Mr.. Bryan was much impressed
with the rapid and substantial
growth of Oregon's metropolis: He
said:
Portland has had remarkable
growth. It has spread out in every
direction, and with it's immensely
rich tributary country I firmly be.
lieve it is destined to become the
greatest city on the Pacific Coast.
| Both in leaving and returning te
the hotel Mr.. Bryan was greeted
with lusty cheers and along the
route of trav.l through the city's
streets there was constantly shown
the popularity with which the for.
mer presidential candidate il
held by the peopls. Mr.. Bryan

Temple on the subject, 1.-THE Ola

Unless an agreement is made the on

Primarily cash is gold or silver. Gold
is a legal tender for everything. Sill

A check is not an absolute payment

Beyond the fact that Henry Hudson
was English nothing is known Of his
birth. In 1907 Hudson sailed from
London in tiny vessel-the crew con-
sisted of ten men and a boy-to discov-

he sailed $50 miles. In 1910 Hudson
sailed in an English ship named the
Discovery and discovered Hudson

Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel

taking Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root, the

cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is

By Lake Crescents crystal waters where the

Where the sailboats like white sea birds on the
sparkling waters played.
What thought we of care and sorrow in our

We knew only springs fair blossoms, we knew
naught of summers showers.
But all the while your heart was longing for

For the loved ones left behind you, for the

So tonight the train will bear You from sunny
