BIRDSELL-LOMEN.


At $3.50 o'clock Thanksgiving
morning occurred the marriage OF
MIR. Marx Birdsell of Mason City to
Miss Edith Lomen, Rev. Otto
Schmidt performing the ceremony,
at the home of the brides mother,
Mrs. Ole Lomen. They will make
their home at Mason City. For three
years past the bride has been an
efficient employe of the central tele-
phone office, and she has a large
friendship in DEBORAH who have
learned to esteem her for her many
admirable qualities. The groom,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Col. Birdsell,
recently went to Mason City from
DEBORAH, and is employed in a
wholesale fruit house there. He,
too, has a host of friends in DEBORAH,
where he spent several years, who
will join us in heartIest congratula-
tions and best wishes. Both are ex-
cellent young people, and the people
of the city regret their location away
from DEBORAH.

Season in DEBORAH and Vicinity.
BOE-POLLITT.

DUET
The announcement of the wedding
of DR.. o. Doe and Miss Pearl M.
Pollitt on Wednesday morning came
as a surprise to their many friends
in this city. The ceremony /, took
place at the home of the bride on the
West Side and was performed by
Rev. /. B. Torrison. 1t was witness
ed only by the family and few init
mate friends, and after the cere-
mony the happy couple departed for
Minneapolis to spend the honey
moon. This is union which has
ELECTED the sincere congratulations
and best wishes of the friends and
acquaintances of the couple on every
hand. The bride is beautiful and
accomplished young lady, adding to
her personal charms musical attain
ments of exceptional character.
While the groom has only been a
resident of DEBORAH for short time
he has won the esteem and friend
ship of every one who has become
acquainted with him by reason of his
manly character and congenial dis
position. They will reside in the
home in the fifth ward which DR..
Doe has leased, upon their return
from the honeymoon trip.

On last Friday afternoon the w.
{. I. U. and the l.. T. L. held their
regular meeting in the W. o. w. hall.
After dedyotional exercises led by
Mrs, Abbie Church, the legion ad-
lourned to its own corner and each
proceeded with the business of the
hour. At the close of business, a
snort program was given. Mrs.
Church, in her delightful way, told
something of her own work as ma
tional evangelistic superintendent,
and some interesting incidents In the
life of Jennie Cassadey and her
flower mission work She said 1T
means something to live in this Goth
century when so many opportunities
are open. 1t Is blessed to know the
transforming power of the Divine
life in those upon whom it falls"
A recitation by Miss Gladys Swacker
was much appreciated. A social hour
followed and dainty refreshments
were served.

FAIR EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old One. How
II Can BE done in Grants
Pass.

The back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys, and again the loins are so
lame to stoop is agony. No use to
rub or apply plaster to the back in
this condition. You cannot reach
the cause. Exchange the bad back
for a new and stronger one. Grants
Pass residents would do well to pro-
fit by the following example:
Mrs Fred Paquette, 1903 Douglas
street Roseburg, Ore, says: Il
used to live in Charlevois, Mich,
and many of my friends there had
used Doans Kidney Pills and praised
the remedy highly. When ] began to
notice a disorder of my kidneys and
rheumatic attacks which were quite
severe. started taking Doan's Kid
ney Pills and they gradually Danish
ed the trouble. After ] came here q
similar spell attacked me and ! at
once got a supply of Doan's Kidney
Pills. They went right to the seat
of the trouble and soon removed It..
! would not be without this remedy

THE FOREST FIRES
NEED NOT BE FEARED
What Timber men Say About Pro-
lection of this Our Largest
Interest.

The Oregon Journal has this to
say about forest fires in Oregon and
gives the assurance that they need
not be feared this season In Southern
part OF the state, all OF which will
be good reading at this time.
Oregon need fear no big forest
fires this season, according to one of
the prominent timbermen In Port
land. The forest rangers are a
thoroughly disciplined and skillful
body of men, and in addition to this
government protection, the big tim
Der interests have engaged and sent
out from Portland crews OF several
hundred men to watch the various
forests OF the state. These men
make 1t practically certain that no
Tires can get sufficient headway to
do material damage to the states
great resource.
Fire is the greatest enemy of the
timbermen," was the statement made
this morning 1T has annually des-
troyed an amount of timber beyond
calculation, and Oregon has suffered
billions Of dollars loss from this
cause alone, Now that the timber
has been bought up at high prices
and Is being held for the mills, the
timbermen and millmen have to car
ry tremendous risks, especially at
this season of the year. But there
need be no alarm among the small
holders, who fear having their earn
ings wiped out by fire. Hundreds OF
active, carefully Instructed men are
In the forests Of Oregon. Crews of
them have been gathered here and
all over the state and for the three
months OF July, August and Septem-
Der they will remain at their posts
The way they stop fires Is with
spade Water Is needless Every
forest fire starts from some spark
or small blaze. With the present
number OF forest rangers and mill
employees scattered through the
woods 1t is practically impossible for
such fire to gain any headway be-
fore the watchers would find It and
put it out by piling earth on It.

TUGS AND THIEVES ON
A VISIT TO PORTLAND
FIFTY OF the Undesirables Reach the
City in One Night and Found
IL Pleasant Place.

1t is claimed by the Portland
papers that the town is overrun with
the criminal classes, and thew siva
the police all they can do to protact
the honest citizens and in this thev
are not altogether successful The
trains from all directions bronpbt
IN SV crooks last Saturday night, and
they stay altogether too long for the
puDllc good. Portland is a beautiful
city and the undesirable classes an
preciate its many advantages and II
Is claimed make long stays. The
pam clothes men, as well as the uni
formed police, are kept busy gather
Ing in the thugs, thieves and bunko
men. There is complaint also that
many women of all grades of i'm
morality are flocking to the city. The
most OF the male and female charac-
ters nave been to the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific exposition and having been
run out Of Seattle they visit Port
land for rest and recreation. These
visits of the criminal classes are evil
dences of the wide published pros
perity of Oregon's great metropolis
There Is only one thing that can be
done under the circumstances and
that is to nail down everything that
Is loose and trust to luck for relief.
