Bachelor Girls Picnic.

A small party Of young ladies
had most enjoyable trip and pic
mic last Saturday. They climbed
the hill on the west side Of the riv-
er on the Wells road, stopping oc-
casionally to admire the landscape
and were much surprised to see
streets cut through almost two
miles back from the river, and to
see nice little bungalow, the own
er near by making garden aud his
little daughter looking on to see
that II was properly done. The
hills are very beautiful now, as
many wild flowers are in bloom.
After reaching the top the party
walked to Portland on the Summit
road, which is practically level, and
commands view in some places OF
large sections Of the Tualatin val.
ley with Hillsboro, Forest Grove
aud the Coast Range In the distance.
There is also fine view OF the Cas-.
cade range, Vancouver, Maegley
Junction and other towns, the Col
umbia river and the cut across the
peninsula.
They passed a number Of well
kept farms and farm houses and in
the heat Of the day stopped to rest
by brook, ate the remains of a
bountiful picnic dinner aud washed
off the travel stains; as it was only
a mile from the fair grounds and
they did not wish to be mistaken
for hayseeds.
The road came to an end at
Lovejoy street and they took the
car for home at 23d and Lovejoy.
Every one of the party was SO
pleased with the days outing that
they are planning similar trips for
the near future. The young ladies
who went on this expedition are
the Misses Ella and Ruth Rixon,
Beulah Titus. Lulu Magone. Milla |

NortOn-Phillips

The happiest, prettiest wedding
Of the season was celebrated at the
home Of the brides parents MI.
and Mrs. Fred NJ. Phillips Wednes.
day evening, April IS at s o'clock.
The pretty home Of Mr.. Phillips
was beautifully decorated with
cedar boughs, ferns, Oregon grape,
roses. Gala lilies. carnations, ger.
aniums and other flowers. while
streamers Of colored crepe paper
were GRACEFUL hung from the CEN
ter to the sides Of the rooms, max
ing very pretty effect,
There were gathered at the
home the fairest aud best of all
St. Johns young people until the
rooms were filled to overnowing.
They had come TO the parting of
the ways, when one OF the fairest and
sweetest of the coterie OF friends
was to step out from among them
and devote her life TO one individ-
ual OF the group instead Of to all.
II was an occasion OF great happi-
to the two principals and in reflex
action to the gathered friends but
in the latter case tempered with
the thought that though their
friendship will ever remain the
same, their lives will inevitably
drift apart.
Just as the clock struck the hour
the bridal party; S. J. Norton, lead
ing his bride to be, Miss Bessie
Phillips, followed by the grooms-
man aud bridesmaids: Edward
Tenant and Laura Phillips, Jo-
sephine Young. Fern Davis, and
Marion Phillips, the last. a little
miss carrying beautiful lily bring
ing up the rear. marched thr ough |
the rooms to a bower constructed |
Of Oregon grape, calla lilies, ferns
with a wedding bell of grape and |
white carnations. The bride carried |
herself prettily and looked very
sweet in her pure white costume
and spray OF brides wreath in her
jet-black hair. being by contrast
the more striking.
The ceremony was very impress
'ive and clearly pronounced by
Rev. +. l.. Young of the NJ. +.
church. After the ceremony and
l flashlight photo had been taken
,f the bridal party, congratulations
md bounteous wedding supper
iollwed. The presents were too
numerous to mention. beautiful
md useful, including cut glass. sill
linens and many other
hings calculated to bring joy to
he hearts of the happy pair. d
The young people are thinking
{ making their home in Hood
river, where we can assure them ,
4 good treatment by the people
nd the prettiest place on earth to
i've. but We hope they may find it
ro6table to remain here in St.

arty, were; Mr.. aud Mrs. Fred M.

FRIDAY, APRIL II, 1908.

The Heney- Fulton controversies
which have been affordiug plenty
of filling for the dailies may be lik-
ened TO the groceryman who had
two brothers-in-law among his GUS
toners. One day one of them ad-
vised the grocer conlidentially not
to trust his brother-in-law, for he
would not pay his bills. A couple
of days later the other one came in
and gave the merchant the same
advice in regard to the previous rel
ative. The groceryman eventually
discovered to his sorrow that both
had told the truth. Might not this

The Making of meersehaums.

There are two places in the world Vienna and Ruhla. which for one htin- dred and fifty years have been the centers of the meerchaum trade. So writes Fritz Morris in the Technical World Magazine for April. The lat ter is a small village in Huringir. in Saxony. near the famous old town of Eisenach. where Martin Luther was confined for his own safety. by the then elector. Rubla is in a valley through which a small rivulet runs; in ancient times it belonged to two dukes. brothers, each of whom owned one bank of the river.
 The meerchaum industry was brought to Ruhla about 1745 by one of the reigning dukes. since when it has held its own more or less in com- mercial progress. Today it is a wide awake town with electricity, water power and gas, with factories for pa per making. brassworks, meerchaum. and. of later years. briarwood making. The meerchaum trade is a house in- dustry. like the making of toys at Sonneberg, only a few miles distant. But, besides the work done at home. there are several firms having factO- ries using electric and steam power. one of which employees in and outside of the house between three hundred and four hundred hands.

THE TRIUMPH AT TUCSON.

THE IRlU MYTH Al ONSCAN-
 The Republican never had doubt as to the successful result of tie fight against the project for instructing Ari- zona's delegates to the national con- vention. The scheme this year was a particularly abhorrent one and we felt absolutely certain that when the republicans of Arizona were shown the selfishness behind it. that would be the end of it.
 We regret that those who have been furthering it can not see that the end has come and that they have chosen to involve the republicans of Arizona still deeper when they ought not to have been involved at all. This is an event. uality of the fight against which the Republican has lately been warning its readers still hoping that the promot- CTS of instructions" might at the last moment be swayed by loyalty to the party rather than by self-interest.
 The vote yesterday on the report of the credentials committee was decisive and we believe was representative of the sentiments of the republicans of the territory, though we may say it was not fully representative, in that as overwhelming as it was it was not so overwhelming as a popular vote on the direct point would have been. That vote should have been accepted by the instructionists as final and the heal ing of the abrasions of the last six floor of the convention.
