SWALIN'S PLAYING
| STIRS SWEDISH FOLKS

The Tribune failed last week to
mention the first social meeting for
the season of the Swedish Literary
society which took place on Tues
day of last week. The meeting
was a great success, and the pro-
gram was very good, especially the
musical part which was furnished
by Prof. Swain, Miss Rykken, c.
l.. Collin and Miss Carlson. The
fantasia of Swedish airs played by
Prof. Swain to the accompaniment
of Miss Rykken was fine and reused
the audience to a pitch of enthusi-
asm. The society holds two meet.
ings monthly during the season.
One is for members, when all par.
ticipate in the program which is
usually discussion or a debate on
some subject previously agreed up
on, the Swedish language only be-
ing used. The second meeting is
usually a social with a set program
of music and readings. These
meetings promise to become more
popular than ever during the sea-
son just begun.

back to the barn, and remarked to
his son that he would go out and
shoot that rabbit while the son
loaded up another load. He went
into the house and got his shot gun
and walked out to where he saw the

The boys heard the shooting, and
one remarked to the other that
their father had fired three shots.
They kept at their work. but after
a short time their father not ap-
pearing, they went out to see what
had become of him. He was found
lying dead at a wire fence a few
rods distant. The manner of his
death was plain. He had. in get

the gun in such a manner that it
was accidentally discharged while
the muzzle was pointed at his head.

TWO new METHODS OF SENDING
MESSAGES TO DISTANT POINTS

from San Francisco or Vancouver.
The Western Union has arranged
for the use of it's Night Letter and
other telegraphic service in connec-
nection with outgoing ocean mails
so that this week Of transcontinent-
al time may be saved. It's New
York office will receive kilograms
from any part of the country des-
tined to European addresses and
will forward them in a sealed, spe-
cially addressed envelope by the
first outgoing Atlantic steamship
mail. The same plan will he fol-
lowed in San Francisco, Seattle and
Vancouver for trans-Pacific mails.
This will enable correspondence to
be dispatched from any part OF the
United States for an Ocean Mail
within few hours of sailing time.
The only charge in addition to the
usual telegraph tolls to the Ocean
Mail part will be five cents for
postage. kilograms should bear
the full mail address of the foreign
correspondent for whom they are
intended. and marked "care Ocean
Mail, New York" or San Francisco,
Seattle or Vancouver as the case
may be. No charge will be made
for this address.
These important changes in the
telegraph service have been brought
about by the new management of
the Western Union which now is
virtually controlled by the Ameri-
can Telegraph and Telephone COM

instead. Thus the king would be able

THE DEBT WE OWE JUDGE DUNN.

1t is with regret that we
chronicle the fact that we are
about to lose the valuable SER
vices of a man who has repre-
sented the public for eight years
during which time Gillian Couu-
ty has been lifted from the bur-
den, of a $33, 900 indebtedness
to county having the lowest
tax levy of any in the state of
Oregon and entirely out of debt.
This is the kind of officials that
make our burden of government
light.
When Edward Dunn of this
city was elected to the office of
County Judge in 1902, the coun-
ty had outstanding warrants to
the amount of $3S, 925. IL the iE-
terest on.which amount to 81, leo
making a total Of $33, OPS. IL. At
the present time the county is
out of debt and instead of the
tax levy of 25 mills in 1902, it is
now 81 mills. At that time
there were practically no public
buildings or improvements. We
now have an up-to-d date Court
House, a modern County High
School, three new steel bridges,
concrete bridge and a large
rock crusher. Also a car load
of culverts on hand. In fact
Gillian County is in the best
condition of any county in the
state. Does not a great deal of
the credit for its being such, re-
feet on the excellent work and
supervision of County Judge,
Edward Dunn? Voters, see to
it that his successor is an equal
ly good man and that under his
supervision we can continue the
present low tax levy.
