T) ETURNING from the civil war, J I made a fine selection 6 Of womankind, then ran in debt " To buy a quarter section. Five years, and Jack and Jim bad come, Besides two little daughters ; Two-dollar wheat had paid our debts And bought three other quarters. And then the times began to change; Wheat brought a dollar ten ; Yet we were doing fairly well ' And saved a little then. But wife was anxious like, and said I "ought to seek the cause And learn what prices had to do With congress making laws." Says I: "The greenback party craze ' Has brought us all this blight; But God and our old party rule They'll bring us through all right, For I'm a good old party man, A loyal G. O. P. My greatest pride, my highest joy, Is its success to see." And in our papers I have read, Which wife thought rather funny, The trouble with the nation lay In having too much money. They said "The bankers know more than we What coin should pass around," And bankers said "to burn three-fourths Would make the balance sound," But prices fell and soon we found The farm had ceased to pay. We had it mortgaged once again It seemed the only way. The boys were nearly wild ; and while They watched our fortunes sinking, Would ask me every day or two : "Why don't you do some thinking?" "We pay our congressmen to think," Says I ; but Jack, says he, "The bankers pay them NOT tl think, And pay them more that we. No workmen help to frame our laws The tellers' rights to speed, But bunkers, lawyers, trusts and rings Make laws to serve their greed. "This is the reason, I'm quite sure, Our farm has ceased to pay. The gang that you have helped elect Have stole your toil away." The boys are socialists ; they say (It seems to me a crime) "The G. O. P. is not the sane .' As 'twas in Lincoln's time." They say "Our Saviour neyer kneeled Or catered to the strong. Unlike professors now-a-days, He tried to right the wrong. He taught the needy, poor, oppressed ; - It neyer came bis way To dine and sup among the rich, As preachers do today." They sneer about prosperity And say it's mostly blow ; But then, McKinley says it's come, And Mac had ought to know. Mac nays that all the workingmen Are rushed at every turn; But Jim declares "the rings and trusts Get nearly all they earn." Last year our wheat brought sixty cents; This year it's lesp, I found ; But then, I tell the jeering boys, The cash we get is sound I Today I bought a keg of nails Jack says I raved and swore Two dollars was the price last year, And liow they cost me four 1 I'll own I felt a little warm, And it is my belief That possibly I might have called The hardware man a thief. "Just stop and think," says Jack to me, "How your 'sound money' fails. It's 'sound' enough when selling wheat, But not when buying nails I "The savings of your life are gone, Or nearly, I'll be blessed. You've got 10 think and leave the gang, Or soon they'll have the rest 1" But they in me will always see A loyal party link ; My trust shall be the G. O. P., And I don't have to think. &ti, nwj andv swJs, nej, Bee 17, 4 s.3e..... 5 J E Blinn to B 8 Bryant, sw, sec so, l 8, de; also lands in Multno mah county dof cl S E Shipley to P Taylor 2 as Mat- lock claim 1 D S Livesay to T W and R E White, 80 as sec 17, 4 s, 3 e , Sod 0 Scott to Cal Vigorite Co, 2 as Matlock elm 250 C R Lewthwaite to M E Rassmus- Ben.lt 18, blk 11, W Gladstone.. 475 C J Schwartzendruber to D Kauf man Power of At simply take the common product of hun dreds and thousands of workers.

The meeting of Huniia nnd Roosev.o't i on the evening before the hitter's nomi nation for the vice-presidency, reveals how completely the Ohio boss domi nated the Philadelphia convention, llanna was at his headquarters at the Hotel Walton. He sent for Gov. Roose velt, who of course came promptly at call. What happened then is thus de scribed by the Chicago Tribune corres pondent : "And now," said Senator llanna, "will you, Governor Roosevelt, accept the nomination for vice-president? "At your hands, and under the circumstances, I will accept it," replied Governor Roosevelt. "I am will do absolutely nothing to thwart the illegi 1 acts of this all-devouring octopus, always to act at the behest of the party, to the contrary, clandestinely oppose i . but not at the behest of an individual." Any efforts to thwart then). Tub fleet of the Bjes.Miier Steamship Company, valued at $25,OJ0,O00,whUh plies o t the Great Lakes, was presented to J. D. Rockefeller, Jr., a mere boy, by his fond sire. To ttitl'on grain and coal freights, the young Naiioleon of finance has tied up his entire lleet. Thousands of men have been thrown out of work, and the farmers of the mlddlo west are compelled to pay higher freight rates.all through the arbitrary act of a youth. The gravity of this situation cannot be over-estimated. KiiORNTLY, before the Industrial Con. iiiiHsion in session at Washington, D.C., N. F. Thomp8on,ecretrtry of the Hunts ville, Ala., Industrial Convention, in a fierce attack upon the trade auion3,said, amoni other thing, that unions were ta menace to the country lu fact, they re mote dangcrom to the government than if our border! were threatened by the invading armies of the whole world. II l'ul not siy that trasts were a men ace to the country, for he U in the trust Ajvtsinees himself. KviiRvdav civea us added evidence that the capitalist is no longer neces sary. Three-fourtl of them will goto Paris exposition this year. Is there .anyone so foolish as to claim that the .industries of the country will stop' be cause the capitalists have left the conn try for a tew months? To ask the ques ttioa is W anBwer it flso. Furthermore, 4uany English and other foreign capital ists own industries in this country that Hhey -never saw and nt vr expect to see. jlJy do no useful work in connection with Ihese Industries whatever. They Senator llanna then addressed Gov ernor Roosevelt in the most friendly terms, the olive branch thus ex tended was acopted by Governor Re ost velt, and the two shook hands in the most friendly manner. Senator llanna then aeked Governor Roosevelt to nnmo the mnn who should present his name to the convention, and the governor graciously told Mr. llanna that the honor of making the selection s'tould be his, So ends the political career of an in teresting and at one time supposedly forceful"independent in politics." Mark Hanna has swallowed Roosevelt, hide petitionee and all, and the ticttet is i llanna ticket at both ends. republican convention ,that Hanna wrote the important planks of the platform, and that this same man Hanna baa dur ing the last two years made the follow ing public declarations regarding trusts: The English government is as good as ours. Large combinatons of capital have ex isted for 200 years in England. The great commercial success of Eng land has been due to those same trusts. Those' combinations known as trusts ure not a political question at all. They are simply and purely a business question. The trusts have the best men in the country at their head. I believe In their organization. I think the trusts will result benefici ally to the men who work in the factories. What harm can those trusts do the people of this country? The tormation of trusts is a step for ward. They aie not intended to increase profits but to reduce cost. Trusts I There's no such thing. The story that I have defended trurts in any of my speeches is absolutely false. The combination of corporations is simply the evo'ution of business; don't know of a trust in the United States. I say they are not trusts. If they are, prove it. There is not a trust left in the United States. There never were more than about a hall-dozen, and they all have been dissolved and cou verted into large corporations. In short, in the language of the Ellicott (Md.) Democrat : Senator Hanna at first denied that any trusts existed. Theu he claimed that they were necessities. Now he asserts that the republican party will smash them. All of which would be somewhat contradictory if it didn't come from the handmaid of Duty and Destiny. H ANNA'S TRVSt PLANK. The following is the so called trust plank framed at tho republican conven tion In Philadelphia ; "We recognise the necessity aud pro priety of the honest co-operation of capi tal to meet new business conditions and especially to extend our rapidly increas ing foreign trade, but we condemn all conspliacies and combinations intended to restrict business, to create monopo lies and to limit production or to control prices, and favor such legislation as will effectually restrain and prevent all such abuses, protect and promote competition and secure the rights of producers, la borers and all who are engaged in in dustry and commerce." V Hi) this plank the republican cam paign managers intend to play upon the credulity of the American people. The full extent of the hypocrisy involved in it can only be realised when we remember that llanna was the master mind at the and the storms and high winds that blow in that region lashed the water in to great waves that beat upon the base of Mt. Hood. Until the next spirit that guards the mountain became angry that the water should not remain there, and one time after a great storm he be came very angry and began to rend the rocks and hurl them to one side out of the way to form a channel through which the waters of the lake could pass. He continued in his fury until he worked his way through the mountain. Thus was formed the channel of the Colum bia river through the Cascade moun tains This spirit that guards the moun tain appeared to an old Indian chief and told him that whenever we see a cloud capping the mountaiu, as we oftimo do, it is the presence of the spirit guard. It is also said that in autumn before the winter sets in his spirit can be seen at nights walking up and down the ridges and canons to se if everything is all right for the winter snows. So now re member, whenever you see the cap of Mt. Hood you are looking upon the spir it guard. So now we will go to our beds, goounigm. Emma V. Inskkkp. (11 years old.)

J SING the hymn of the conquered, who fell in the battle of life ; The hymn of the wounded, the beaten, who died overwhelmed in the strife: Not the jubilant song of the victors for whom the resounding acclaim Of nations was lifted in chorus, whose brows wore the chaplet of fume, But the hymn of the low and the hum ble, the weary, the broken in heart, Who strove and who failed, acting bravely a silent and desperate part; Whose youth had no flower in its branches, whose hopes burned in ashes away ; From who-e hands slipped the prize they had grasped at, who stood at the dying of day With the wieck of their lives all around them, unpltied, unheeded, alono, With death swooping down o'er their failure and all but their faith over thrown. Hold the hand that is helpless and whisper "They only the victory win Who have fought the good ftV.it and have vanquished the demon that tempts us within ; Who have held to their faith, not regard ing the prize that the world holds on high ; Who have dared for a right cause to suf fer, resist, tight if need be, to die."

Hood. In the year of 1891), I had an invitation to make one of a party to climb to the summit of Mt. liood. It was a jolly, agreeable party consisting of a number of friends, whom 1 had known for vears. We had. a very pleasant drive to the camp, where we hud to leave our horses aud wagou. As toon as we got into gamp, our guide, wiiose business it was to Iook alter the interests of the camp, built a large camp tire, h round which we gathered, and after eating our supper we made ourselves as comfortable as possible sitting on camp stools around a blazing tire high up in the mountains. Atterchatting aud making merry until it was drawing near bedtime, our guide asked us if we had heard the story The Spectre of Mt. Hood " After learning we never had heard it, he agreed to tell if if we would be quiet and give our at tention. We were quiet imdantly, and he began. The story, he says, runs tnis way : "It is an Indian legend, away in the dim past before the Columbia river was the outlet for the waters east of the Cascade mountains, all that country thro.igh which the Columbia and its tributaries run was a great inland sea, It furnishes more at the price than any ottier newspaper published in America, its news service covers all the globe anil is equaled by that of few dail ies.
