THE occasion is not of our own MAX
ing. We had no part in making it, But
1t is here. 1t affects us directly and
palpably almost as if we were partici-
pants in the circumstances which gave
rise to it. We must accept the inevita-
BILE with calm judgment and unruffled
spirits, like men accustomed to deal
with the unexpected habituated to
take care Of themselves. masters of
their own affairs and their own for
tunes. We shall pay the bill, though
We did not deliberately incur 1t.
In order to meet every demand up
on the Treasury, without delay or per-
adventure, and in order to keep the
treasury strong, unquestionably
strong, and strong throughout the
present anxieties, l respectfully urge
that an additional revenue Of 500. 900. :
900 be raised through internal taxes
devised in Your wisdom to meet the
emergency. The only suggestion I take
the liberty of making is that such
sources of revenue be chosen as will
begin TO yield at once and yield with
certain constant flow.
Il can not close without expressing
the confidence with which I approach
a Congress, with regard to this or any
other matter, which has shown so un-
firing a devotion to public duty,
which has responded to the needs Of
the nation throughout a long season
despite inevitable fatigue and person.

Grant Not a Candidate.

The old saying, go away from
home to get the news" applies tc
the following from the Salem Gazette
"John Grant, for many years
Sheriff of Polk county, has dropped
out of the race as candidate fol
that office. He declares that the peo-
pie of Polk county have given him
enough and he will not ask for anoth-
er term. Some of his friends, how
ever, say that movement will be
started to write in his name on the
ballot to give him the Democratic
nomination. One Of Grant s deputies,
Henry Savery, is out for the Demo-
cratic nomination and it is hardly
probable that the veteran sheriff will
stand for this movement unless it is
forced on him. ~

Notes from Independence.

While turning sharp corner in
North Independence last Friday even
ing, William Lawton fell from his
motorcycle breaking his limb in two
places as well as dislocating his
shoulder. He was taken to the Sa-
lem hospital.
Thieves entered the store Of Mis-
sail & Knapp at Independence and
robbed the place of several pairs of
shoes and other goods. Forty dollars
also disappeared from the Moose
hall about the same time. Local tai
ent is suspected.
The big Moose Carnival to be held
in Independence on June 3, 4, 5 and
is going to be the one large" af-
fair Of the year and is attracting gen
eral attention all over the state.
The women of Independence are
evidently not very enthusiastic about
the political game as less than one
fourth of them registered, and many
of these would have undoubtedly
passed it up had their fealty to a
"dry" Oregon been less lukewarm,
A ball team, consisting of the best
players in the city, has been organized.
Suits have been ordered and games

BIG THINGS PROMISED
PLANS FOR CHAUTAUQUA NOW
ON IN EARNEST.
Pioneer Day Should Bring to Dallas
Many OldTime Residents of
Polk

The Chautauqua to he held in Dal-
las in June will be noted for the fact
that the program each day has been
carefully prepared with the determi-
nation on the part Of the Ellison
White system to leave no weak link
in the chain of good things offered.
1t is a gigantic task to arrange the
details Of Chautauqua season, and
visitor to Mr.. Miles office will find
it one of the busiest places in the
city.
The Dallas Chautauqua is to have
the rare honor of having on its pro-
gram probably the best-known preach
er in all of the world, DR.. Gunsaulus.
This fact alone is a guarantee of the
"worth of your money" In fact,
there are several attractions on the
program this year, either of which
would be worth the price of season
ticket. For instance, we are to have
Frederick r. Wedge, who arose from
poverty, became one of the noted well
ter-weight prize fighters, fell in love
with girl who was college graduate
and of wealthy and estimable family,
quit the prize ring, entered and grad
uated from college, and became ia
nous in San Francisco as "the fight
ing parson of the Barbary Coast, "
where he devoted himself to uplifting
the down-and-outs. And DR.. Thos. Z.
Green, world traveller and orator, who
has lectured in every civilized coun-
try on the globe; Peter MacQueen,
who beat Roosevelt into the African
iungles and whose articles are now
being published in some of America s
best magazines; Dr. Seasholes, S.
Platt Jones, and others.
Special attention has been given to
the music and entertainment portion
of the program. Ciricillo, the great
Italian director, will be one of the fea-
lures of the week with his famous
band. You may have heard great
bands, but you have not heard the
superior of Ciricillo's band. The
Dunbar Singing Orchestra, the Lyric
Glee Club, which the government
twice sent to the Panama canal zone
to entertain the workers on the big
project, Isidore Berger, a noted vio-
linist accompanying the Elwynn Trio,
the Ham Jubilee Singers, and others
make up a list of musical entertain
ers that cannot be excelled. Of
course, there will be entertainment
aside from the musical features
Mrs. William Calvin Chiffon, for in
stance, who is one of Americas great
est monodramists.
Referring again to the lecturers,
we find on the list the great Chinese
scholar and journalist, Ng. Poon Chew.
At the recent Purity Congress held
in Minneapolis this mans addresses
were always greeted by the largest
crowds of any of the many able ones
on the program, and the Minneapolis
papers gave him columns in reporting
his speeches. He is as witty as an
Irishman, as eloquent as a Southern
er, and speaks as perfect English as

The first day, June 27, will be de-
voted to the pioneers of Polk county,
those sturdy early settlers who have
done so much for the development of
this favored locality. Every pioneer
of a thirty years residence here,
will be guests of the association.
