Tlioro is nothing extraordinary or startling in tliis statement ulonc, hut this clack hns peculiarities which tiro not common with the clock family in general. It is a largo walnut affair, which reposes peacefully in the samo position that it has occupied for the past -10 years, on tho wall of what is now tho Bank sa- tfifiti Wliim tint innr wild flrut filnifitil !iu position 40 years ago it was in Oreon & Stimpson's saloon, tho Uclve .i...... ...i.:.. i i. .,... i i... ir. .lull', wiudi U3 fuicimrti'ii uj itii. Rogers, tho clock going with tho rest of tho fixtures of tho place. Tho strik ing peculiarity of this triumph of tho cloekmnkor's art is that all tho hands, of which tlicro arc live, only point di rectly upward at tho samo timo onto in seven years. Thesoven years time was up yestorduy at. high noon, whoa tho minute and hour hands pointed at 12, tho day hand at Sunday, tho date at tho 1st, and tiio month hand at Janu ary. J. II. Haas, who has a similar clock in his home, these two being tho only ones of tho mtiko in tho city, has now watched this proceeding soven times sinco tho clock has been in tho city. Tliis was mndo possible at tho end of tho century when a day was droppod, and tho hands ciiino to a vor tical position nt tho samo time. Yes terday being Sunday Mr. Haas could not gainentrnnco to tho saloon to watch tho hands for tho seventh time, but, novortholess, ho was not to bo dis appointed, so ho took up his position on tho outsido of tho glass door, and, peering through tho glazed work, ho watched tho bauds pass tho hour of 12. 0 S. C.

Grocers Corner tMUmiHMimMlimilMMIWHMIHHIMMHIM STATE CHAIRMAN BAKER Has Taken a Hand in Electing Speaker. Tho speakership fight hns nssuniod a now aspect, and tho supporters of Titos'. I). Kay uro said, by a Hulcni eorrcr spondent of n Portland paper, to bo greatly incensed at Stato Chairman Frjink U. Baker. Ho is accused of try ing to iulltiunco tho election of A. L. Mills, of Portland. Friends of Mr. Kay linvo undoubtedly precipitated a fight between Mr. Kay and tho stato chair man, which is indicated by tho follow ing letter issued by Mr. Baker: Portland, Or., Dec. HO, 1004. My Dear Mr. : Considering it with in tho scope of my ollico as chairman of tho Republican Stnto Central Com tnitteo to tnako suggestions that will conduco to tho best interests of our party, I respectfully invito you to sup port Mr. A. Tj. Mills for speaker of the house of representatives. Mr. Mills is accounted tho leading citizen of Oregon in a commercial sense, and for this and other good and sttlllciotit reasons I hnvo renched tho conclusion that party har mony will bo best subserved by his elec tion. Bespeaking a continuous and satis- , factory administration of tho im portant trust roposed in you, and hop ing fortune will sntilo on you and yottr3 during tho coining year, 1 beg to ro main, sir, with perfect respect, your obedient servant. FRANK C. liAKKIl. Mr. Baker's letter is not signed as stato chairman, nud ho claims to bo only exercising his prerogative as a citizen of Multnomah county to support the local candidate for speaker, just as tho Itepttblican stato committeeman front Marion i-ounty is supporting Mr. Kay as tho Marion county candidate, and tho Republican state committee man from Jackson county is doing all in hi h power to secure the election of Mr. Vuwter. It is evident that Port land interests will make a determined effort to capture the speakership, anil all 1iowh of securing support for Mr. Kny from Multnomah county nro abandoned. Mr. Kny still expresses tho greatest confidence nmong his friends that ho will land tho high ofllco with votes to spare. A Ground Floor Plan. In this issue of Tho Journal nppoars ri novel advertisement which is typical of tho man whoso business it ropre sonts. Roforenco is mndo to tho "ground lloor plan" of C. M. Kpploy, tho Electric Grocer of this city. Mr. Kpploy conintonced practically with nothing, but by closo application to business, lias worked up until ho is running a regular country department storo. Ho gots in on tho "ground floor" when ho buys goods, nud when his customors buy of him, ho likewise feels that thoy aro on tho "ground floor." "When ho can't find anything thnt suits him ho mnkos it himsolf, and thus ho has dovoloped his bnking pow der business until "Epploy's Perfec tion" is a housohold commodity throughout tho Willamette Valley. All who deal with Mr. Kpploy soon find out that ho "knows his business," and that ono fact "does business" for him. Ills ad is a unique proposition, and will intorest thrifty many business nion. Clifford Brown returned to school at tho Univorsity of Orogon this morning, after sponding tho holidays with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Brown, in this city.

Tho papor speaks for itsolf. It has not been without faults in tho past, and expects to mako mistakes in tho future But so far as good will toward all and good intentions can mako a good newspaper, wo pledgo our best efforts to the people. Tho Journal has prospored in a small way, and this edition is put out without favors from public officials. Tho Journal onjoys tho confidence and good will and respect in some degroo of all citizens In public and private life. This papor has given support for its friends on all occasions. It takes a positivo position on all matters of a public nature Tho publishers tako a direct personal interest in tho success of its employes and advertising patrons and subscribers. This papor is happy to announce that it will give its readers moro for tho monoy in futuro than in tho past, and will bo bottor ablo to deal generously aud liberally with its friends than over boforo. If The Journal prospors in futuro as it has in tho past, tho publish ers hopo to bo ablo to assist liberally in every worthy object of a public nature. With theso brief words wo wish all our roaders a happy Now Year. Uphold by cheerful and hopoful optimism, and good will towards all, wo predict long lifo, success and prosperity to each and overy continu ous reader. Shorn of His Locks. Tho editor of tho Salem Journal has proven tho Sampson to a Delilah who asked him how he writes his editorials. In his mad desiro to please tho ladies, for lie says, "We aro willing 1o toll a lady anything within reason," ho has been shorn of his editorial locks, and the secret of his strength in that di rection exposed, through his inadvert ent declaration thnt ho eats fish for breiikfast. Tho journalists of Oregon should rise up as ono man and with one acclaim declaro for his excommuni cation'. To think that, for a century or more, the editorial power of journalism should have been so safely guarded aud kept a profound and awo-iuspiring secret by the craft and then, with ono fell blow, just to please n woman (God bless her), the stately edifico in which the editor sits as supreme dictator of tho universe, must bo shattered, wrecked, ruined and a scaly fish reared on tho tripod as tho cltiof in spiration of editorial acumen and great ness. "Our gorgo rises at it," and wo aro quito "chop" fallen.
