EAGLE POINT NOTES.

Monday evening, April 6, several
members OF the w. c. T. U. gave a
pleasant little surprise to their presi-
dent, Mrs. b. H. Bryant, the occasion
being her birthday. After a short
time spent in social conversation a
dainty luncheon was served, at which
time the ladies presented Mrs. Bry-
ant with a handsome present. Dur
ing the evening Rev. Lindblad of
Ashland gave a couple of short talks
that were both interesting and help
full. At late hour good nights were
said to our friends after an evening
enjoyably spent.
Evangelist Lindblad stopped over
Monday night with G.. S. Painter, he
being on his way to Peyton to hold
special meetings.
Our city council took a very ad-
vanced reform step at their meeting
on Tuesday evening. They passed
an ordinance prohibiting bicycle rid
ing on the sidewalks. They gave as
their reason that it endangered the
life and limbs of our women and
children. That is all very good, and
we are glad for it, but at the same
meeting they granted license to a
man to sell liquors to our fellow citi-
zens, that they might get drunk and
go reeling down the streets, taking
all of the sidewalk, and then on home
to their families, to abuse them. oh,
you awful bicycle! Consistency
thou art jewel"
The Parent-Teacher Association
met at the Church house on Tuesday
evening. After the reading and ap-
proving of the minutes of the last
meeting Mrs. Won der HELEN read q
short paper on gardening, which was
followed by general discussion Of
plans for school garden. 1t was
decided that steps should be taken tc
secure such garden and Professor
Buchanan was appointed a commit
tee to secure ground for same. 1t IL
hoped that more of the parents viii
attend these meetings. Next meet
ing will be Monday evening, April 13
Initiative petitions are being circu
lated here for the Oregon Dry con
stitutional amendment and are beinl
signed quite freely.

MOTION PICTURES AS AID TO
TEMPERANCE.

Unintentional praise for the mo-

there are complaining that the NOV

THE FIRST DROWNING.

News comes from Ottumwa of the
drowning of q most estimable young
lady in the Des Moines river Satur-
day evening. She was an occupant
of a canoe built for two, put crowded
with four people. Canoeing at its
hest is a most hazardous form OF
ecuatic diversion. 1t is safe only
when those who participate are ex-
perts in the manipulation of the tippy
craft and when the boat is properly
loaded, says the Burlington Gazette.
The judgment OF the young men who
went forth in the canoe with the two
girls Saturday evening was sadly
awry. They most evidently are OF
the class who rock the boat and per-
form other foolish ventures. 1t is
none too early to issue warming to
foolish and venturesome young PEG,
pie about behaving when boating. III
YOU are not an expert swimmer, do
not go out in a canoe, and whatever
Won do. refrain from rocking the boat.

Mississippi River Power Co. Means
Business.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: That the
mississippi River Power company
means business is evidenced by the
statement of Richard Washburn Child
Yesterday, before the Burlington Com
mercial Exchange, that the directors
OF that company had voted $4,000 to
be applied at once in the Mississippi
valley. This means that the COM
pany. while being manufactures oil

in the affairs OF the communities
within the power zone which 1t has
created. The success of the power
corporation dep ENDS altogether on the
prosperity of the territory 1t serves

way 1t can the development OF the
power consuming industries in its
field. That 1t has entered into

According to the latest federal
census figures Iowa will show sight
loss in population since the statistics
for 1910 were given out. The loss is
very little but loss nevertheless
and said to be the only state showing
less population. However, there Is
some cause for congratulation mas
much as the decrease is greatly less
than that reported in 1910. Iowa is
the best state in the union. II II

afford to leave it. We make ricn

Policewoman Lulu Parks OF Chicago
was sent to New York to bring back
young woman accused OF taking mon
ey from her family. The substituting
of woman for man in this case
proved most satisfactory, and the
young girl was so glad that she ana

that she gave Miss Parks no trouble
at all. The girl told her entire story
to the policewoman, and the result IS
that she will probably not be prose

MORE THAN HuERTA INVOLVED

MORE THAN HOEniA
With all due respect to the
president OF the United States.
and with the fullest desire to
hold I'D his hands, it must be said
that, in one phase Of ths Mexican
matter, senatorial critics arc
right. and he is wrong. A block
ade. or the seizure of customs
houses, or the landing OF any
armed force is an act OF war up
on Mexico, and the people OF 4,
Mexico. The United States cannot
declare war on Mr.. Huerta
alone. If it were possible. 1t
would be ridiculous. 1t WOULD
amount to calling out battery OF
artillery to kill cockroach.-

The Journal states the situation II

like a wise man, but he is giving very
reasons. In this Huerta

WALKED 100 MILES
TO GET WAR NEWS
Native Born and Naturaiized Ameri-
cans Ready to Volunteer In
War Against Mexico.
Especial to The Gate City.l


EDMONTON, Alta. April 30.-Na-
tive born and naturalized Americans,
representing twenty.seven states,
now living in Edmonton and other
parts Of central and northern Alberta,
were among the callers a. the Amerf-
can consulate here to ascertain
call had been made for volunteers to
participate in the Mexican hostilities.
Willis Lang and Calvin J. Round,
formerly of Fort Worth, Texas, who
have been prospecting in the Wabisca
Lake district, walked hundred miles
to be in readiness.
There Is absolutely no doub. as
to the eagerness Of hundreds OF men
in this district to go to the front.
said George s. montgomery. the
American consul in Edmonton, today.
Many of them are laborers, who
have been working in railroad and
lumber camps all winter. They spoke
with me about the threatened strike
! of the Independent Workers OF the
World. saying they were just as ready
and willing to fight against these men
as against the Mexican forces"
| Some OF the other callers at the
consulate during he last few days
are men occupying positions and few
of them are engaged in business. Mr.
Montgomery also was interviewed by
citizens OF Canada and British sub
jects. who appeared eager to go tc
the front in the event President vii
son calls for volunteers.
! The newspaper Offices are besieged
day and evening by men in all walks
of life, also retired officers and sol
diers of the British army and navy
for dispatches from washington ant
the scene of conflict. and the Mexican
situation is easily the chief topic o
conversation in hotels, restaurants
clubs. workshops, Offices and stores.
