Mr. Boek, a new settler, has built himself comfortable house, ami cleared consilient' ble land, besides felling a very heavily lint be red piece near Mr. Rover' a. If all made such rapid improvements) the farms would won increase in site as well as profits. F. Capp from near Clackamas was buried at the Damascus cemetery last Friday. H.

The young people of the reading circle net last Friday evening with a full attend ance. A number of the young people met at the residence of Mr. Feathers Sunday afternoon and had a good time singing. OR YULE OMELET. Sepublicant Alive and Active Democrat Meet ing Nothing to Apolojlie For. Orville, April 30.- The Lincoln repub lican club meets every Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. The meetings are growing more interesting every evening. We now have a paper in the club and to say it is a hard hitterdoes not express it in tbe least. We are growing in number right along and it is demonstrated beyond a doubt that tbe people are getting roused up and now see the duty they owe to their country and their fellow man. The democrats met and organized a club here last week. They could not raise as much enthusiasm as the republicans did at their meeting. There seemed to be the seal of purpose lacking which manifests itself at republican meetings. Messrs. Thome, Vaughn, Risley, Washburn and H. Engle were present and spoke, but they failed to convince any of the republicans that It was not the prospect of free trade that brought on tbe present hard times. They told us ihat it was tbe financial depression, and that the financial depression was caused by -a lack of confidence in the people. But we would like to ask why the lack of confi dence in the people? Because of the ascen dency of a party to pow er, pledged as the democrat party was, is the only reason. The present cold rainy weather makes it very disagreeable for tbe farmers. L. Woodcock has his hops all trained and is now ready to cultivate as soon as the weather will permit. A large number of the members of Lin coln club visited the members of Needy club last Saturday evening. Hon. W. S. "Tooze addressed the members of the club for two hours and a quarter on the issues -of the day going into detail and making them so plain that any person with a reas onable amount of intelligence could under stand them. The boys of this vicinity want an apology from the Orville correspondent. Here it is. 1 am very sorry indeed that the boys gave an opportunity for such criticism. I have heard of your actions before, but could not believe it until I saw it demonstrated at the joint debate, and to say they were ridicu lous is only putting it in a very mild form. And hoping you will profit by what I have said through the par and elsewhere I close to say 10 more on the subject. Highland Happening). Hir.HLAKD. April 28. Tbe republican club met Friday, April 27, at the K. of L. hall with a good attendance. George Ri nearson and 3. V. Campbell of Oregon City were present and spent the evening in dis cussion. Quite a number of populists who are very much prejudiced against lawyers were present, but from the result of last evening's discussion one lawyer is enough tor all tbe populists in Highland. Tbe club meets again on the 11th. The farmers are most alt done seeding, the hops are all set out, fall wheat and fall oats look fine, and clover promises a good crop. Fruit trees are all in bloom and also promise a good crop if not overtaken by froBt. The school is progressing well under the management of George McArthur of New Era with 37 pupils enrolled.

The gardens are mostly all planted but not many potatoes are planted as yet.

John Schtewe got caught beneath a grubbing machine while raising stumps and had bis shirt torn almost com pletely off and his shoulder jammed so he has been almost laid up since. Julius Reich le was watching some neigh bors saw down a tree about two and a half ! ftel in diameter w hen a heavy gust of wind struck it sending it over backward. Julius started to run hut stumbled over a log Just as the tree struck it. The log only saved his life. As It was he wks somewhat bruised and scratched upon the shoulders and arms. While Gottlieb Rentier was pulling some windfalls with J. V, tinge's huge lnch der rick Friday last, a pair of the legs gave way aud the whole concern came down w ith a crash, fulling across Gottlieb's head, knock ing him down behind some logs.

What a dlsagreenble backward spring we are baring! Fruit is going to be very late; strawberries are just beginning to hloom when the berries should be nearly ready to ripen. There was quite a heavy frost here last night, but we hope it has done little dam age. Farmers are nea-ly done seeding, but It Is too cold and wet for much gardening to be done yet. Several families from Portland have bought the Deadinan tract of land, and moved to it and will begin making improve inents immediately. Rev. Sylvunns of Springwater and Rev.

Some of your corresndents speak of the " political pot boiling.1' It has been doing some v'uorous boiling herein Red field, particularly in local politics. We have no lack of candidates, esecially for justice of the peace. If the old saying about "the office seeking tbe man" is true, this particular otlice is seeking not one man but several of them. Needy News. Needy, May 1. On Sunday at 2 o'clock p. m. Israel Yoder of this precinct departed this life after lingering a year w ith eoiiMitnp tion.

The funeral took place to day, the rciutiius being interred In (Reason's grave yard. The farmers of this place have been busy plowing and seeding and hoeing and tit-ing up hops until the last rain fell and stopped their work and gave them a holiday. But as there is so much spring work undone the hollday was not generally appreciated. The republican club met last Saturday evening. The house was full to overflowing. W. T. Tooze, of Vodburn, delivered an eloquent address on the tariff and the finances of the country. The house fairly shook with applause from the audience who were overflowing with enthusiasm. Mr. Tooze spoke over two hours, and made the facts on the tariff question and the finances of the country so plain that even the small boy could not help but understand the sit uation. Many visitors were present from Elliott Prairie and Orville. Three cheers were given Mr. Tooze alter he had finished, and alter giving three rousing cheers for Governor McKiuley the meeting adjourned until next Saturday evening.

The Oregonian of Tuesday says that the prowct of a railroad between Astoria ami Portland is at lust verv briirht. Mr. M.Lutjt, who represents a French anil German syndicate, has la-en in Portland ami Astoria for several days, with Mr. K. L. Pwyer and other, who are Interested in the proposed enterprise, and lie and his associates have been inveHtigiiting .n.i I. ..;,. i.. .,;.,. ,.,.;ii,,. for a railroad connecting Astoria with this city. The result is that Mr. Lutx him , submitted to the people of Astoria a pro- osition to immediately build a road from Astoria to Goblo, uxn condition that they put in proper form, fur delivery to the syndicate reprenented by him, the title to the land subsidies at Astoria and Flavel heretofore offered for the con struction of such a road. Further more, the people ol Astoria are required to ob tain and give the full and free right of way from Astoria to Goble, aud a con tract for traffic arrangement with the Northern Pacific between Goble and Port land is also to be furnished. It is Hutcd that if these conditions are complied wild the road will be built at once, as the money can immediately tat obtained for this purpose. It is believed tluit thix offer) a practical solution of this iiiiu b-disctiHH-ed problem, and will secure the con struction of a railroad that will he of equal advantge to Portland and Astoria. It will lie an independent line between the two cities, and it is proposed to han dle the business of all roads on equal terms. Curlnu) Plant Propagation Some very curious processes for prop agntion are practiced at Uie public gar dens. One consists in cutting with a knife a ring around a branch of a plant. One might Imagine that the intention was fo kill the branch, but Htich is by no means tbe object in view. The cut having been mude, a piece of wet moss is wrapped and tiod around tho branch at that point. lieneuth this protection flit: sup exudes from tho wound, and little rootlets are developed. After a few days the branch is cut awuy from the parent stem, being then itself a complete plant, with rootH, alt ready to put in a pot. Thin plan is adopted with plants of slow growth, because one plant may thus be split up into half a dozen or more of good size, inatead of waiting for a needing or little alio to develop. A modification of the same process con si tits in placing a small pot full of earth around the cut place on the branch, fastening it in posi tion. When root have developed the branch is cut off juet below the pot, and a new dlant is produced. If the gurduner chooses to take the trouble, he can make a separate plant out of every bud on a tree. In fact, an eminent botanist hag said that every tree is a village bud being an individual. Each j REDUCTION IN and Fancy Worstod Suits for loss than it cost Produce.
