I'LL GOOD CITIZENS
WILL WEAR TAGS
THEIR ANNUAL VISIT TO COME
JUST AS SURE AS SPRING
CLEANING.

Just 20 surely as spring and spring
housekeeping make their annual visit
( to little old Richmond town there VIII
shortly appear in their train a spe-
cial day, in fact, II will be April 3
this year. when the badge OF good
fellowship. little red tag inscribed
with the letters l. v. N. A., will Jaun-
THY hang from the iapefs or the citi-
xens and "would-be' citizens OF the
town.
And what WILL be the meaning OF
these tags7 Simply that tag day. the
day on which the public Is given an
annual opportunity to further by their
contributions the splendid work of
the Instructive visiting nurse.
AS all the male folk can testify. who
are not husbands and brothers of suf-
fragettes, the sppring cleaning has ar
rived, for 80 sooner does my lord"
become comfortably established than
his wife appears and informs him
that the library In to be cleaned to-
day, and, oh, the paint 10 not dry in
the dining room and the drugget has
been taken up pin the bedroom. etc.
ad fnitum: until the masculine
mind is firmly convinced that spring
cleaning IL necessary. But II this be
true of the best regulated homes. how
much more necessary Is IL that the
homes, where sickness and poverty
have entered hand in hand, shall be
eleansed OF dread disease and its in
fiuences. This is the character of the
work done by the Instructive Visiting
Nurses Association In Richmond with
its corps OF nine nurses.
To carry on it's work of relief and
instruction the association has eetab-
lished the custom Of having tag day
each spring, and has chosen April 8
this season. when the public contrib
utes to the cause A well known char
acter has said that he can make II
good speech when he has good SUBJ
iect. II might be said with equal
truth in this case one can make large
contribution when 1t is for n large
work.
Ever since tue introduction oil tag
day. few years ago. this has been
the principal source Of support and
method of appeal to the public. Tag
day belongs TO this special organiza-
ton. This year there are so many
meritorious ways OF applying funds
that every man. woman and child in
Richmond ought to contribute as
much as possible
The records for the past year chow
that the visiting nurses have paid a..
6sl visits to 2.ssi patients. and they
are planning greater things for the
year 10 follow. but It all depends on
Richmond's response to tag day ON

BEAUTiFYING OF COURT
HOUSE GROUNDS BEGUN.

A force of men and teams began
grading the court house yard, Monday
and the work will be rapidly pushed
under the direction of David Reavis
until completed.
Mr.. Reavis drew the plans for beau

court house that he submitted to the
county court. That body gave them
its instant and entire approval and
ordered the work to proceed at once.
The plans call for handsome slop-
ing lawn from the court house to
the four sides Of the block. The en-
tire block will be surrounded by an s
foot cement walk, with foot lawn
and ] foot cement curb. From the
southwest corner to the northwest
corner cement walk leads in sweep
Ing curve past the main entrance,
and a similarly curved walk sweeps

curves past the south side of the
building. A fountain is placed south

OREGON WELCOMES
HOMESEEK|NG HOST
NEW SETTLERS ARRIVE IN
GREAT NUMBERs--pEvELoP-
MENT LEAGUE MEETING.

Portland, March 21.-Although the
whole state has its full quota of
new settlers who are taking advant-
age of the low colonist fares, Cent
raj Oregon towns are especially busy
welcoming the newcomers. Large ad-
ditions to the usual accommodations
are being made to house the home
seekers and extra efforts are being
made to care for their wants until
they shall become permanently settled.
Homesteads are being taken in large
numbers, irrigation lands are being
bought. and new towns are building
because Of the rush of immigrants
who are following the railroads In
to the interior. Trainloads of sup
plies, building materials and agri-
cultural implements are going in and
the long-delayed awakening of Cen
trail Oregon has arrived, after that
section has lain dormant for ages
awaiting the whistle of the locomot-
i've.
Dates for the Oregon Development
League convention at Astoria have
been fixed for Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday August Ia, Is and 16. This
will be while the Astor Centennial is
in progress and convention visitors
will give part of their time to this
historic celebration. The convention
dates were decided after conference
between the Astoria Commercial club
and the Centennial management.
Redmond will have double-barrel-
ed celebration on July 4th. and Inde-
pendence Day will not be its only
significance. The unlocking of Cent
raj Oregon by the railroads and free
dom from its long isolation will be
the chief reasons for the jollificatlon.
Redmond Is ON both the Oregon Trunk
and the Deschutes railroads and it
sees great future now that outlets
have been made to the outside werld.
Mining men or the state met III
Portland during the past week to
make plans for the entertainment
here of the Northwest Mining Con-
gress on May 16, II and 1S. At that
time it is expected to have each dis
trict of the state represented and
large numbers of outside mining men
will be entertained.
Special fares have been made by
the railroads for travel to the Port
land Rose Festival, June 5-1O, rate
of one and onethird the usual tariffs
for the round trip having been agreed
upon by the various lines. Oregon,
Washington, Idaho. and British Colum-
bia will get the benefit of these re-
duced fares.

BOTH SIDES USE DUN
DUN BULLETS IN MEXICO.

Ell Paso, Texas, March 20.-Soft-
nosed bullets, forbidden by the rules
of war, are being used by both sides
in the Mexican campaign. Colonel
Cuellar, who commands the Mexican
troops at the battle Of Casas ,Grandes,
reports officially that nearly all of
the wounded men received their in
juries from soft-nosed bullets. The
report also comes from Aqua Prieta
that almost every Federal soldier
wounded there was shot with soft
nosed bullet.
The Herald Correspondent wires to-
day from Hermosillo that he saw the
Federals march out from there Satur-
day with their belts full of soft-nos-
ed bullets. He says there were 10
hospital appliances and no doctors
with the Federals.
