Whatever msy bo the attitude of the
people generally throughout the stole
relative to candidates for tbs higher
officers, and they say things are tome,
thlnge have been lively enough In Port
land the pact seek, from the candidatee
stand-point. With about fifteen Candi
da lee for governor, five for Attorney
General and elx for lhe Supreme
Coart, there has been little idle time
either for the office hunters or the
patient public during the week. But
added to this has been tbe scurrying of
tbs many leaasr candidates, legislators,
judges, sheriffs, commissioners, sod
even lhe coronore have helped to make
things lively.
To say who has lhe lead in all this
melee Is ont of the question. But it is
safe to bet that quite a number are
courting disappointment. Among the
Republican candidates Carter and
Withycoinbe are showing great strength.
Johns and Crawford are highly opto-
mistic, while Dimick asserts that he
will carry Multnomah County by a
good plurality. Geer and Brownell
and Moeier have not been so much In
evidence but tbeee are experienced
politicians and no one knows what trick
they will turn to close a su-ceeslul race.
Outside ol Multnomah many of the
leading candidatee are hardly known.
Oregon Is some state and to cover all
of It in a campaign would be utterly
impossible. In this regard Dr. Withy-
combo has the advantage. For years
be has lieen in close touch in all parte
of ths state and he probably can call
more men by name than any of the
other candidates.

A. R. Circle and tome of tbe members
of Reubin Wilson Poet gave Comrade
Drake a surprise on hie eighty-sixth
birthday, at his home on tbe corner of

| prised is putting it very mildly.
There were two tone, six grand
children, and six great-grand-children
present. The «.rening was spent in
playing games, telling stories and sing
ing “oiige. Comrade Hummel favored
them with a German song. They also

titled, "Go Teli Aunt Rodey Her Old
Gray Goose is Dead.”

Every one went there to have a good
time and they had it. After partaking
of a fine lunch ¡.bey ail bid Mr. Drake
good night and wished him many more
birthdays. Comrade Drake’s mind is
as clear as a school boy’s and he walks
off very fast, and to all appearances he
will live a good many years.

AROUND THE COUNTY
Joseph Kronen begg has sold bis farm

eastern investor, who will take im

24 acres, well improved, with a good
dwelling. The sale price was $0500.
J. S Stansberry, county fruit inspector,
is urging a campaign against the cater
pillar at this time. He points out the
necessity of every one who has trees
seeing that they are not infested with
caterpillars, and urges that these trees
be sprayed against the breeding of eater
pillars. Mr. Stanebery says that many
people who have trees that may be in
fested may not be aware of this fact.
These are the danger point, he said, and
are the breeding places of the caterpillar
family. Mr. Stransberry, however, says
that the trees are freer from caterpillars
at present than ever before.
