Enjoyment Supreme at the Legion.

THE best program you ever had
in the Legion" I'VE certainly had a
good time" These and others are
samples OF the things said by those
who attended the good time" given
by the First Oregon Legion 2136, N.
P. L., In Woodman hall last Friday
night.
No one knew that we had full
fledged orchestra In the grants Pass
membership until last Friday night.
Very enjoyable instrumental and yo-
cal music, solos, trio, and a quar-
tette we're among the musical pro-
ductions. The audience began to
laugh when the avaricious landlord
got double rent for one room out Of
two unsuspecting victims. A wild
Irlshman tried his best to get employ
ment as an actor, but his palpable ig-
norance OF the word Sufficient"
frustrated his desire and the heart
less audience laughed loud and long
at the poor fellows misfortune. It
was clearly demonstrated that II was
very possible for a freckled face girl
to entertain caller all alone, and
also that cat should stand on four
legs. Another thing was demon
strated about ten o'clock, and It was
that when It comes to making cakes.
sandwiches and coffee the ladies OF
the Legion are hard to beat. After
the refreshments, ten members dem
onstrated their ability to tell a funny
story and do 1t as It should be "dld "
The two successful contestants were
presented with gold watch, but re-
fuslng this were rendered a package
OF chewing gum instead The occa-
sion was further enlivened by tele-
grams Of regret being frequently
rushed to the platform from Taft,
Roosevelt, King Edward, the mayor
OF Grants Pass and others.
A. II. Mclean, the worthy presi-
dent OF the local Legion, and his ef-
flcient staff Of supporters are de.
serving Of much commentator for
the manner In which the affairs OF
this rapidly growing organization are

years, and having, during that time,
been permitted to know you, both as
such officer and as a man, the fact
that you are now voluntarily sur
rendering that trust, adds greatly to
the general feeling of regret | always
entertain in such cases.
Almost continuously for twenty
four years you have filled the office
of circuit Judge of the First judicial
district. Time and time again the
people OF your district, irrespective
Of party politics, have endorsed your
work and placed upon 1t, that which
know you regard now, In your de-
clining years, as the greatest recon-
pense that you have received, and
that Is, their approval OF work well
done.
During your career as public
servant YOU have been called upon to
exercise the duties of your office in
cases that were of the greatest i'm
portance to the litigants appearing
before you. During such a career as
this, II certainly appeals to me that
had there been anything connected
with it that could have been shown
that you We're not faithfully dis
charging the duties of your steward
ship, Il would have been impossible
for anyone to have secured, practical
ly unsolicited as they were by you,
SO many public endorsements OF the
approval Of the people
II have accepted your resignation
and, as you will note by the press
dispatches OF this day have follow
ed your recommendation I feel
that there Is no other man better
qualified to advise me on such sub
iects than yourself In addition to
this. the bar OF Southern Oregon and
a large number OF prominent citizens
Of that section, have approved your
endorsement
with your leaving the public
service at this time, feel that the
state Of oregon has lost one OF its
most trusted servants and an officer
who has, during all OF his honored
career, served his state we'll
"In conclusion, | desire, as the ex-
ecutive Of the state, 70 thank you for
the service rendered our state during
your term OF office. and to wish you
and your family good health and
prosperity.
Very truly yours,
