of a few days ago.
Home one told him that he had
seen in a Eugene paper a picture
of a Felix Landess who prababJy

mime.
Bill hastened to get a

According to the news dispatch,

appeared in the paper has a son
named Gone and a daughter named

Struggles to Establish State
Government Are Told by
Judge Harris.
It was by mere chance that Ore-
gonians missed fighting under the
union jack instead of tho stars and
stripes during the recent war, ac
cording to a story of the growth
of history in Oregon as outlined
last evening at the Presbyterian
church * by Judge
”
Lawrence T.
Harris of Eugene, one of the best
known jurists and trial lawyers
of the state.
The speaker entertainingly told
of the days
before provisional
government, when tho entire Wil
lamette valley and the country
north to what is now the Canadian
boundary at the forty-ninth paral
lel, all known as the Oregon coun
try, was governed by three justices
of the peace appointed by the
1 anadian government and by fac
tors of the Hudson’s bay company,
tn< latter in some respects stronger
than its own government in sec
tions of country which it domi
nated.
The seat of government of what
i.i now Oregon was placed at
Salem by a vote of 250 to 50 in
round numbers. Once it was lo
cate I by vote of the people at
Eugene, but all votes of the peo
ple on the subject were declared
invalid because congress had spe
cifically given to the territorial
legislature itself the
power to
locate the seat of government. It
tried to satisfy all sections by
placing the university at Corvallis,
the supreme court at Oregon City
and the penitentiary at Portland,
leaving Salem as the state capital.
-Salem was definitely fixed as the
seat of government when congress
-iil that money for a capitol
building would be spent at Salem
and nowhere else. For many years
before provisional government Ore
gon City (Willamette Falla) was
by custom considered the capital of
the state and even fol'owing pro
visional government was so con
sidered by some state officials,
The bitterest of feeling existed
during the years that the state
capitol and state institutions were
being located and during the time
that the seat of government wan
in doubt the territory was _
gov-
erned by two sets of laws, the
little bine book which the judges
who sat at Willamette Falls con
sidered the statutes, and by the
big book by the judge who sat at
Salem. Each judge rendered his
own decision as to which was the
law.
The straggles of the present
generation to maintain stable gov
ernment are nothing as compared
to the straggles of the pioneers of
the early ’40s tn establish a stable
government, even though they did
not have the initiative and referen
dum, direct primary and recall. It
was only byTi margin of two votes
that the first constitution was
adopted at Champoeg in 1843.
BRUND OPENS SPORTING
GOODS, HARDWARE STORE
Andrew Brand, who was a busi
ness man of the city for many
years, has again entered business
with a stock of sporting goods and
hardware which he has placed in
the room in the Lawson building
occupied by Homer Galloway. The
stock is one which Mr. Brand pur
chased in Portland. It contains a
complete line of sporting goods,
fishing tackle, baseball goods, foot-
ball goods, etc., and a stock of tin
ware, miscellaneous hardware and
dishes. Mr. Brand will clean up
the hardware and dishes, but ex
pects to continue
the sporting
goods business.
The trouble with many a man
who has a load on his mind is that
so much of it is junk.—Boston
