a pause to realize life is not coIored with paint brush. but by our deeds and disposition. We truly have the maN- Ing. to a certain extent, of our own success. and 1t Is great to see a young girl who has truly made up her mind to succeed Miss Roberta Wilson has made up her mind-Alabama can i'll afford to give up such of her young women to a distant fate, but maybe we will see her on the stage in Bir- mingham before very long-and her friends will be glad she has had her way"
 The individual who has a purpose in life has already succeeded. After all 1t takes the heart to make the best of every life act--this Is genuine service and secures the real results. This doing things that appeal to our tastes developes the greatest amount of talent. Birmingham has two splendid young women to develop a real talent and they carry with them her best wishes to their new home

Motion Is Overruled.

Capital Journal: Judge Kelley, of
department number / of the circuit
court, today overruled the motion for
change of venue in the matter of
the application of Eva M. Wolfe for
widows pension. Attorney Walter
M. Tooze, Jr., with attorneys G. o.
Holman and Turner & Turner repre-
sent in all about Is widows who have
applied for widows pensions and
whose petitions have been denied by
the county court. The attorneys then
appealed from the action of the coun-
ty court to the circuit court and ask
ed for a trial by jury on the merits
of the widows claims. Attorney
George G.. Bingham and District At
torney Ringo who represented the
county, opposed the trial by jury on
the grounds that this was not an ac-
ton at law but suit in equity and
that there were no disputed questions
of fact to be passed upon by a jury.
Attorney Tooze argued that this was
an action at law and the petitioners
were entitled to a jury trial. On the
grounds that Marion county taxpay-
ers would not be qualified to sit upon
a jury in these cases Tooze asked for
a change of venue, which was over
ruled by the judge.

alleged lumber rate discrimination
and-Whereas the said lumber manu-
facturers have evidently enlisted the
services of the Portland Evening Tel
egram to create public opinion in ia
vor of their contentious, and
Whereas, the Portland Evening Tel
egram seems to have received its in
formation from unreliable sources and
has apparently made many misstate-

Southern Pacific company and Will
lamette valley lumber industry, be it
"Resolved" That the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, Oregon Civic
society and other civic bodies should
prevail upon the Evening Telegram
and Portland lumber manufacturers
to desist from further misrepresenta-

grievance to the Interstate Commerce

manner and without further effort to
disrupt the general business relations
between the Willamette valley and
