In taking charge of the Falls City News we shall make no rash promises. We shall not attempt to change the even tenor of the lives of the good citizens of Falls City, stir up any internal strife, nor act as "mediator" in any "peace conference." We do, however, purpose to give our readers a clean news paper and support such measures as will, in our humble judgement, work the greatest good to the greatest number. For a newspaper to be successful it must have, not only the financial but the moral support of the good citizens of the community in which it circulates. It shall be our earnest endeavor to merit such confidence and support. It is our desire to retain the friendship and esteem of the old friends and patrons of the paper and secure as many new ones as possible. We shall be pleased to have them call that we may get acquainted and thus be mutually benefitted. Yours very truly, D. L. WOOD & SON. MEMORIAL DAY FITTINGLY OBSERVED
The procession was headed by members of the Falls City State malitia, followed by the Boy Scouts, citizens and veterans and their wives in automobiles. Arriving at the cemetery a short program was rendered and an address by M. A. Marcy, Pastor of the M. E. Church. The malitia then fired a salute and the hip hip hurrah was given in honor of the heroes living as well as those who had gone before. The following veterans were present: J. R. Moyer, Co. G. 14th Iowa, vol. Inft., age 72. Jerry Snyder, Marine service, Fort Hineman, age 72. G. M. Tice, Co. H. 7th Kansas cavalry, age 66. B. I. Carey, Co. D. 7th Mich. Inft., age 72. S. H. Tetherow, Co.

Lyle, Librarian of the Williamette University of Salem, who might be termed the "Fighting Parson." He told of some of the hardships and horrors of war and also of some of the more pleasing phases. He devoutly prayed that none of the present generation would ever again know of a realty what war was, but that all differences might be amicably settled. J. R. Moyer, of the campfire told of his experiences in the service that were quite interesting. B. M. Howell, Spanish war veteran told of some experiences in the Phillipine service.

ATTENDS LOGANBERRY GROWERS ASSOCIATION
Business relating to prices, marketing and the general good of growers was to be considered. Loganberry Juice is becomming a popular beverage, and is said to be far superior to Grape Juice, of William Jennings Bryan fame, and if Oregon goes "dry" Loganberry Juice will help assuage the thirst of the thirsty, anyway the production of Loganberries will be an important factor in wealth producing of this section of Oregon. OIL STREETS

COUNCIL MEETS
The question of street improvement seems to be the most important business on hand and the pros and cons of improvements on various streets was thoroughly discussed. An ordinance authorizing the construction of curb and full width macadam on third street north of North Main street, 100 feet, was passed. There is a great deal of work to be done that requires careful consideration and judgement that the best interests of the property owners may be protected. The council appear to be giving this their attention and allowing every one interested an opportunity to be heard. They adjourned to meet Tuesday June 16. WANT ROAD WORK RUSHED
SHALL FALLS CITY CELEBRATE THE 4TH OF JULY
Falls City has an ideal place to celebrate and many from the valleys below would undoubtedly be glad of an opportunity to take a day off to view the beautiful mountains, waterfalls, and the City itself. It would be better to have some amusement here than to have the people in this vicinity to mope at home or go to some other town. What shall be done? BASE BALL
The weak positions mentioned in last week's News were excellently filled by the same players that have held these positions. The only weak position in the Falls City team Sunday was Grayum, he being injured at Third and was too weak to finish the game. The excellent work of Sampson and Gordon as Battery with the best support Falls City can afford has won every game so far this season. Although Sunday was an unlucky day for Falls City players, they won. Gardner finished the game with one finger broken and sprained ankle. Henshaw with both ankles sprained and Grayum with a bruised leg. The rest of the team were sore over bad decisions of the Airlie umpire. BALL GAME
