no read it more than seventeen years ago viii
ad it again with pleasure:
To your precincts, hurry, hurry
Vote for Fishback, vote for Berry,
Choose man for legislation
Who will ably fill the station.
One whose eloquence will burn
Like our Thomas Isaac Herrn
One whose matchless voice will ring
Like our David Lunsford King;
One most eloquent CD of all,
Like our Robt W. Hail.
From the trio choose your man
Like a free American
Stand your ground and never fudge
Till you choose a County Judge
Edmond Enoch, Evan, Bill"
Either one the place can fill,
For in each you'll surely find
Men of great judicial mind
Vote before you leave the spot
And the "hosse's eye is sot.
Carpenter from Sullivan,
E,oob n tbo D;nb,unodo rpon
Watkins from old Washington,
Murphy, Bill" from Davidson.
Either one can win the fight
Gainst the bowling populite
Still you are not done your work
Till you choose your circuit clerk.
And whoe'er your choice may be,
OF the noble, gilt-edge three
Well put up standing bet
That your vote you'll not regret;
For the matchless 10 Shelby,
And the peerless Sterling P.
With the noble Jasper E
Make grand and glorious three.
If with Justus you should stand,
Or to Turner give your hand,
Or should join the Metcalf band,
Your selection would be grand.
AS to sheriff, never fear,
For the choice of some is Clear.
You will name Richard Mailer"
When you vote for E, A. Taylor,
While Tom McCaleb man
Will be with you in the van.
And we greet you each and all
Who are standing up for Hail.
While we always tip our hat
To a Goodwin democrat
Watch, the Mullen boys are hustlers
While Dal Padens friends are rustlers.
And, the crowd embraces many
Who are holding up for llaney.
And tell you what the fact is,
Either one would Oct your taxes
County Treasurer vote for one"
Vote for p II. Wilkers0n,
And to make your land survey,
Vote for Johnson, Hall or Gay
For assessor Porters Ben
Stands among the foremost men,
Whilst his equal is Tom Wilkins
Who is none ahead Of Elkins;
And as good as e'er was born
Is Caves favorite, William Horn.
And the rollcking Roe Street
Is man that's hard to beat
An you vote for John Mclean,
lie will sweep tax-dodgers clean
And as to William B. McGee,
ask what better choice could beY
To your precinct, walk up merry;
Rah for FishbacM Rah sor Berry

There are no doubt tax dodgers
among corporations. AS much
can be said of individual citizens
The corporation should pay Its just
share of the taxes, NO MORE, SO
should the individual citizen, The
corporation should obey the law So
should the individual citizen. When
the corporation has met the re-
requirements Of just laws 1t should
have every protection OF law like
the individual citizen. The eorpo-
ration should not be taxed to DEATH
The corporation should not be har'
assed by demagosues and have to
always fight for their lives The
corporation Is legitimate and useful
The dcmaeogue Is neither

well fitted, pocketed and rain and dust

skirt for mountain climbers, for shirt

There are many styles to copy
when making it. The circular skirt Is
always good II you are able to prevent
sagging at the back seams. This can
be done by sewing tape with the

'ELKS HOSTS AT
GREAT JOLLY-UP

Perhaps the largest attended stag
ioIlification ever gwen in the city was
the affair at the Commercial Club last
Thursday night when the local mem
bers of the Elks were the hosts, enter
tanning many members Of the order
from adjacent cities and a large num-
her of invited guests. The purport OF
the meeting was explained as follows
bv J. H. Fredericy: ''The gathering
here tonight is for the purpose OF
bringing all Elks Of Hood River and
their friends together in order to pro-
mote good fellowship and to have
little jolIifcation. Whenever Elks
meet there is never ceasing flow OF
mirth and happiness; and 1t IS the
desire to InnoCulate our Vlslting
friends with the germ Of goodfelloW-
ship, thereby teaching them to grow
horns and to trot with the herd through
pastures green and woodlands gay:
'The order Of Elks is distinctively
an American fraternity. Linking our
destinies, as we have, with the des-
TIMES of our country, and makirg her
glorious flag our symbol, we Lave con
fined our benfcient organ zaLlon to the
political boundaries of the states and
| in our membership we find the same
creeds and the same beliefs that have
made this land the cradle of universal
brotherhood. "
An address was made by Fred Will
son. of The Dales, who told OF the
history of The Dalles chapter Of EIks
from the time Of its founding till t"i
present day.
Throughout the evening a number
Of vaudeville and musical stunts added
TO the pleasure of all present. Monroe
and Atkins. who filled an engagement
at the new Electric Theatre last week,
did some highly entertaining jgging.
The Hickman Colored Male Quartette,
Of Portland, sang at intervals selec-
tions from the old Southern melodies
and other songs. One of their most
pleasing numbers was when they imi-
tated Chinese Quartette. Between
the stunts, the meeting was enIlVened
by some extremely good reels from
moving picture apparatus installed
for the occasion.
Delicious punch was served through
out the evening and at a late hour,
while lest ana anecdote Travelled from
group to group, the members of the
antlered tribe and their friends par
took of a sumptuous banquet.

Family Reunion at "NeStledyn. "

Mr.. and Mrs. j. d. McCully, their
son and daughter, entertained a com
pany of Mr.. McCully's Portland rela-
tives at a weekend party. They ar
rived at Hood River Saturday after
noon and were conveyed to Nestle
dyn" in a four horse tallyho and re-
mained until Monday afteroOn.
The beautiful home was decorated
with rare wild flowers, gathered from
their extensive grounds. A great bowl
of wild orchids was most attractive
and unusual. The weather was perfect
and the visitors had a grand view of
Mount Hood and Mount Adams and the
surrounding we'll kept orchards, from
the McCully home, which is pictur-
esque in its location on a hill side with
slOping lawns and a back ground of
stately frs and pines. Two winding
brooks murmur their way through the
grounds, bordered with vining maple,
dogWood and syringa, crossing which
are several rustic bridges and seats
built in charming hooks along the
banks. After an elaborate supper
Saturday evening was devoted to &
vaudeville program at which each
of the guests had prepared to take
part The most artistic feature was
a minuet by five year old Waltor
Crane and his tiny sister, Ethel, at
tired in full costume of a gentleman
and lady of the Colonial period.
Sunday a banquet was served, wher
toasts and responses of remeniscen
subjects were given. Telegrams wer,

CEMENT DEPOSITS CLOG SEWERS.
Drainage From Concrete PayementS in
Portland Wash Into Them.

The Portland Telegram says ::
"Sewers in streets throughout the
city on which Hassam pavements have
been laid are being clogged rapidly by
deposits of cement, which is washed
into the drains from the pavements,
which are composed largely of cement.
Some of these sewers are said to be
one-third closed, others one half, and
in one or two instances, it is said that
the flow of water through the drains
has almost been entirely stopped.
'Rumors have been in circulation for
some time that the sewers were being
clogged from the cement washed from
the Hassam (concrete) pavement, and
1t is said that this condition has beer
known for several weeks in the sewer
department. Efforts have been made,
it is said, to prevent the cement from
being washed into the drains, but sc
far without any great degree of sue
cess. Each sewer is built with {
sufficient capacity to carry the sewage
and storm waters of its particular
district.

Cows Feed on Walla Walla Streets.

The Portland Journal says that
WalIa Walla is returning to the days
of villagehood. 1t is stated that with
in radius of seven blocks of the bus
ness center of the city, IA cows were
recently found picketed across the
sidewalks, and one bull. Parkings
grown up to rank grass along vacant
lots, and parkings which the owners of
inhabited lots were deliberately pas
turing, as well as grass grown streets
being utilized for feed, are cited.
Vacant lots overgrown with weeds
is another illustration to be cited if
the committee, self-appointed, reports
to the city council at the next meeting,
as it proposes to do. Loose chickens,
uncIean alleys and many similar
charges it is said, are to be made. 1t
is thought to be a prediction move.
