Wh-le r.:t wxri'g oa customers, he de voted his time to the s tudr of law. teing finally admttted to the bar in his term as Secretary c f Slate several years later. He vas accounted one of the leaiing and prominent citizens of Col i.nbia Ccunty. and his consutuents gave an expression of their appreciation of his ability and public-spiritednes by electing him a member of the House of Representative in the Oregon Legislature for the 1882 session, when he was only 28 years of age. He was elected speaker of the House at that session, and this recognition marked his appearance in the political activities of this state which continued for a score of years. In 1886 Mr. McBride was elected Secretary of State, and "at the conclusion of his first term, four years later, he was re-elected. On completing his second term as Secretary of State, in 1803, he was elected United States Senator, to succeed J. N. Dolph. Mr. Dolph was seeking re-election, hut could not muster the required 46 votes on j'oint ballot Mr. McBride was a Dolph supporter, but on the last night of the session, within a few minutes of final adjournment, when it became apparent that Mr. Dolph could not possibly win, the name of Mr. McBride was presented, and he was elected.

A REMARKABLE INVENTION A revelation in the art of fruit and vegetable preservation was presented to the Commercial Club at its meeting Wednesday evening. At its invitation Mr. Holton formerly of this city and Mr. Geo. Rogers of Portland, dis played a model and products of the Lambert machine. This is a method of preserving all kinds of fruits and vegetables, whereby only the water is extracted and when so processed or "KeeD- freshed" as it is termed, the pro ducts keep in a fresh state (minus the water) for an indefi nite time. Whenever desired to use, they are immersed in water allowed to absorb the amount of water originally extracted and becomes again essentially fresh fruits and vegetables. Mr. Rogers' recital of the me thod and the development of the invention, created a profound impression and on the urgent re quest of the Commercial Club he remained over and repeated the lecture before the club and citizens generally, Thursday evening. A large number of Lambert Keepfresh plants have already been erected in Oregon and one is now quite certain for this city. Its erection would mean a boon to this community. Mr. Henry Lambert the inven tor is an Oregon horticulturist of note. He is the son of Mr. J. H. Lambert, famous as the develop er of Lambert cherry. Mr. H. M. Lamberts invention will add tremendously to the Lambert family's horticultural fame. The Pt- Helens Ladies Aid will meet sritfc Mrs. Dr. Edwin Ross, next Wed aaday Jane RKh.
