RECORDS OF SOLDIERS
SERVICE ARE WANTED

Mrs. Alice Bacon, county school
superintendent, reports that in some
sections returned soldiers are ne
glecting to fill out the questionnaires
sent out by the state, some of them
being apprehensive that it will bind
them to some future call. The ques-
tionnaire is simply a record of sol
dier service, which is to be kept by
the state. The matter was neglect,
ed at the start and now an effort is
being made to secure the war record
of every Oregon soldier. Many Civil
War veteran would have been saved
much anxiety had such record been
made at the time of the civil strife.
Relatives Of soldiers should make
an effort to have their soldiers re-
cord preserved.

storm which ragged In brief spells,
to see the president pass from his

lery.
Fully seventy-five percent of those
in the crowded galleries were
women BY 1870 the galleries were
completely filled and many house
members were standing in the rear
of the chamber
Pages held seats for senator's
wives. Fifteen large leather chairs
were placed in a semi-circle In front
of the presidents desk for members
of the cabinet. Supreme court mem
bers, usually present at such occa-
sions, were absent, only one member
being in the city. Congressman
were asked to stay at the rear of the
chamber They crowded the couches
and leather divans. Guards at the
door were taking precautions. All
packages were left outside and han,l
bags and grips were carefully in
