Damascus Doings.
Damascus, April 24. The farmers are
rejoicing In the good weather. All seem to
te improving the time, plowing and mak
ing gardens.
The roads are getting pretty good in
places, but in other places it is hard to find
language sufficient to do the "other places"
justice. They are simply incomparable.
A young lady of this place w as out riding
in a cart when it dropiied into a mud-hole
so deep and stuck so last that it was neces
sary to pry it out with a rail before she could
0 on.
There is a force of men and teams work
ing between the Deep Creek bridge and the
Hatchery on the road that comes up the
Clackamas river. They expect to have the
road so teams can pass this week. On the
other side of Deep Creek they are improv
ing the roids by blasting out the stumps
and making a good road bed.
Between the Hatchery and Rock Creek
bridge tome excellent work is being done
blasting out stumps and getting
the road ready to throw up a good bed.
Also on the other side of the Hatchery, at
Xogan, tbey are at work with scrapers and
teams and blasting stumps. The Spring
water, Eagle Creek and Currinsville coun
tries ought to have very good roads into
Portland. If there was a good road from
Damascus to one of these roads the people
could get along very well. Supervisor
Cooke is kept busy looking after his differ
ent gangs of men and superintending the
road.
The petition against sheep running at
large has about one hundred names.
Ed. Elliott received a gold watch from the

a little better and we entertain hopes of her

J. C. Elliott purchased a very innocent
looking pony Saturday which the owners
assured him was perfectly gentle. Mr.
Elliott sincbed it up and jumped on. Borne
of the boys said "you had better look out."
"Oh" he said, "It's gentle, just see,'' and
with that be threw the reinson its neck and
gave it a slap. At that the pony made a
Vicious jump and left it's somewhat sur
prised and crest fallen rider seated on terra
Arms rather than horse flesh. He was so
well pleased with his purchase that he got
rid of it in two days. II. I.

Frank Scott had the misfortune to give
his foot a very bad cut a few days ago.
Yes we have people just east of Salem
who call themselves intelligent, but then
they would have acted In about the same
way as did most of the democrats at the
debate in Coldren's hall.
From the present rumors it seems as
though the democrats want to give the re
publicans of this vicinity free trade and
pugilism combind. How will that be Mr.
Editor, The latest is that free trade knocked
the bottom out of American Industries and
the representative ol old England (Mitchell)
got it in the neck.
We hope the correspondent in the Elliott
Prairie debating club's paper got full satis
faction in commenting on what the Orville
correspondent to the Entkbtrisk had to say
about the democrats at Coldren's hall a few
weeks ago. We give it as it appeared to us
and it the shoe tits put it on and wear it,
tbat is all we have to say, and if the same
correspondent wants to debate the tariff
question (which of course will Include tin)
let him give his owning address in one of
the local papers and we will see who rings
the bell and pays for the shots.

TIIK RKASON WHY.
A Fanner Discourses of the Democratic Times
and Appends a Favorite Sing.
(iahfiki.u, April III. To Tit a Ehitoh: 1
have lived in this precinct for eleven years,
ton years of that time under a republican
administration ; anil during those ten years
everybody was happy Willi good wages,
good prices and g'xni clothes. Hut the peo
ple were not satisfied and wanted a change,
and they got such a change that they will
forever remember It. Stagnation and par
alysis appear where proserlly and activity
ought to be present. There has been no
lamina, war or pestilence; the mines art
filled with wealth ; the earth has yielded its
products with the usual abundance; and
the amount of money per capita Is larger
than ever before. All the naturul elements
of prosperity are with us. Hut the farmer
is beggared as he sells his horses, cattle,
wheat, butter and eggs. The ilockmaster l
compelled to slaughter his sheep. The sil
ver mines have shut down. Capital has
lied and secreted itself. The working man
stands idle In the shadow of the silent fac
tory, tramps have increased in numbers by
the thousand, and we are compelled to wear
democratic badges that is, we are com
pelled to patch the seat of our breeches with
a large square of gunny sack. What is the
mattlerf Reader, listen: lH-mocrat and
populixt free trade and British gold mono
metalism. These foes ot our proierity are
championed by the democratic and popu
list parties. Free trade has closed the fac
tory, converted the prosperous laborer into
a penniless tramp, and tlestroved the mar
ket for the prod nets of the farm. Ilnll-ti
gold monometalism has closed the silver
mines and impoverished the miner and the
herder.
The people should become aroused to the
danger that confronts them. Every pat
riot, every voter interested in his own wel
fare, should join the republican party and
leave no stone unturned to defeat those in
famous policies which, if persisted in, will
wreck fortunes and beggar our people indis
criminately. This is the time to work, so
that when the sun goes doan on the 4th of
Jnne, 1M, Oregon will proclaim to the
world that she is tired of this change.
We can all join In the following chorus,
to be sung without lining:
One year ago we struck the blow
For (J rover and free trading;
With loud acclaim, with streets aflame
With marching and parading.
Groverl Grover! was theory,
Four years more of Grover!
With the free trade flag on high,
Then we'll be In clover.
We little thought the tight we fought
And won delusive clover,
Would bring instead but pauper's bread
To men who cried for Grover.
Grover! Grover! was our cry,
Four years more of Grover!
With the tree trade flag on high
The soup house is the clover.
They told us then we working men
Were robbed hy laws unfeeling;
No man today bas that to say
'Tis workingmen are stealing;
Stealing rides from town to town,
Thinking still of Grover;
Every freight is loaded down,
But none cun find the clover.
Tbey told us too how well they knew
'Twas for our great promotion
That goods should be admitted tree
From lauds beyond the ocean.
A million hungry men since then
Have thought the whole thing over;
They'll have their say another day
'Twill be, " good bye, old Grover!"

Htaffohp, April 24,-The past few days
have been just lovely. Farmers have been
working on the eight-hour plan of late
eight hours in the forenoon and eight hours
in the afternoon, and taking the other eight
hours for doing chores and catching a wink
of sleep. Although it is rather tough on
the men and teams it is to be hoped that
the weather clnrk will not see fit to send
around a shower to drench us for at least a
lortnight.
Thos. Turner and a large force of men
have been improvlngthe main highways by
blasting out stumps, grading, and laying
cross-lay. It now begins to look like we
may have better roads notwithstanding the
generous kicks many have aimed at some of
our county officers.
Miss Delia Larson, who has been very 111
for the past month, is now improving, al
though unable to sit up.
Mrs. Kliewer has been very sick for a
week past, but is now convalescent.
Report says chlrivari Miss Grace Peters
and August Gephardt. Why? Another
report says, got married Sunday last. This
reporter will keep neutral on the subject
until the contracting parties see fit to let the
truth be known.
Henry Melcher has been breaking a piece
of land he had cleared the past winter.
