Irvin Matthews of Portland was in town Saturday on business. B. W. Robinson has sold his farm to Martin Smith of Colorado. C. E. Gardner from Bridgeport was transacting business in the city Tuesday. Mrs. E E. Beezley went to Crowley the first of last week to visit relatives for a few weeks. Dr. M. L. Thompson, wife and family went to Portland Thursday in their auto to attend the Rose Festival. J. E. Beezley returned Saturday from a week's trip that included Crowley, Corvallis, Newport, Salem and Dallas. Art T. Baker left Sunday afternoon for Kansas. We did not learn the section of the state he intended to locate in. J. H. Glass of Stayton, Oregon former owner of the Falls City Hotel was in town from Saturday until Monday. Mr. Glass was on his way to Seaside where he expects to engage in the hotel business. Captain "Bud" Wilson was here last Saturday night Mexican War Pictures that were shown at the Eureka Theatre. Captain "Bud" was so favorably impressed with the town that he stopped over until Sunday afternoon. J. E. Beezley is making arrangements to move to Newport. "Pat" Murphy will have charge of Mr. Beezley's place adjoining Falls City. Mr. Beezley has lived in this section all his life and he and his wife have many friends who regret to see them leave. B. E. Carey was in Tuesday and said that in giving his age last week as one of the veterans of the civil war a mistake was made, that he was 76 years old instead of 72 as it read. Usually men and sometimes women, are prone to underrate their age, but we presume that brother Carey has passed that age and is reconciled to the fact that "old age is honorable" and to live long is to live well. Miss Beth Deal visited Dallas this week. Mr. and Mrs. Auland are visiting in Rickreall. Miss Rickson of Portland is visiting her sister, Mrs. Marcy. Miss Emma Christenson spent Saturday and Sunday in town. Just received a car load of extra Star-a-Star shingles at G. D. Treat. Shakes For Sale - No business done on Saturday. M. B.

Finley has moved all his household goods back from Portland to Falls City and intends to stay for ever more. A dinner was given Monday in honor of Rev. and Mrs. J. E. Williams and Mrs. Stevenson by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Finley of the Madena hotel. The Company L squad of the State Militia went to Dallas Thursday and joined the rest of the company and went to Portland Friday. They will parade at the Rose Festival. Misses Lucile Finley and Leta Dennis entertained their teachers, Misses Wolverton and Mack with a dinner. After the dinner they went to the theatre where they enjoyed themselves exceedingly. Business in the police court this week has been unusually good, or "bad" would be the better word. Falls City has the finest water in the state, and there is nothing more conductive to health, happiness and long life than good water, and then that isn't all the good things either. A CORRECTION
WILL INCREASE WATER SUPPLY
"A CONVICT'S HONOR"
The brutal treatment that once existed in that institution was strongly brought out in both lecture and pictures. The water cure, whipping-post, straight-jacket and other methods of brutal punishment, including the hanging of handcuffed prisoners to cell doors from 6 to 12 hours at a time were scenes of the bygone days that were inflicted upon the helpless culprits by the warden and his guards. In 1912 Governor West made an investigation of the rumors that were going around concerning the treatment the inmates were subject to and found them to be true. The warden was discharged as a result and the present incumbent, Col. V. K. Lawson placed in his stead. The honor system was established and the men were allowed to work without the presence of a guard. Under humane treatment the prisoners became better men and not the fierce tigers of crime as existed under the old method. At the conclusion of the pictures Marguerite Matthews, a Soprano, rendered a solo which was well received by the audience. EUREKA THEATRE
