May 4. The farmers have most ol their spring work done except a few spuds which will have to be planted yet. All the grain that is up looks well. Fruit trees are in full bloom and the fruit growers say if there is not too much rain there will be a heavy crop of fruit. The few days of good weather have dried the roads considerable and they are now lit for travel. Not very much has been done on the Bull Run water works this spring on ac count of the bail weather and impassable roads, but as the fair weather appears the work will be resumed with a double force. Several wagon loads of laboring men went up and pipe hauling has again started up. H. Cook, our well known hotel keeper' is greatly improving the place by building new fences, sidewalks and tine flower gar dens. The Sandy school opened last Monday with Mrs. Bosch as teacher and a large at tendance of scholars. The first day about twentv-five were in attendance. The G. A. K. and Sons of Veterans of Pleasant home have made grand prepara tions for Decoration day w hich w ill be one of the grandest affairs Pleasant Home ever had. The last meeting of the Sandy republican club was attended by a large crowd and a great deal of interest was manifested by all the people that were present. Another meeting will probably be held on the 13th cf May. The club will make a grand pre paration for the speaking on the 22d of May. Krganlless of the kicking of the eoplcs party the republicans are getting stronger everyday. Our population is increasing regardless of the hard times; born to the wife ol J. H.

Wnsosviua, May ll The best and by fur the most enthusiastic dance of the season was given at Jacob Mi lev's hop house last night, the object w as to celebrate the aniversary of the birth of Miss Augusta Miller, the eleven-year-old neice of Mr. and Mrs. Miley and it seemed as though the neighbors, both old and young had as sembled en mass to celebrate the occasion, there being about fifty couple present. The dancers started tripping the light fantastic at about eight o'clock and continued with out interruption till about midnight at which time a delicious repast was served to which the guests present did ample justice. After supper dancing was once more re sumed and continued until about 8:110 in the morning, when the guests, completely worn out, retired to their resective homes evidently feeling themselves well satisfied with their night's enjoyment. Special praise is due to .Mrs. .Miley, Miss numiy Miley and Miss Anna Whyman for their untiring efforts in the preparation of so ex cellent a supper. Perry Sharp. James Turner, John Miley and Jacob Miley fur nished music for the occasion. The WiLtonville republican club recently organized here with 8. B. Scely as president and George l4iss as secretary is in full bloom and converts to the good cause are being added at each meeting and ill thai we lack of hustling the democratic party of this place. clean out of existence is a couple of good speakers from Oregon City, more especially Mr. ilrownell as the people of this place are very desirous of hearing that gifted orator discuss the political issues pfthe day. Mr. Browmll seems to have a hard time of it trying to get the opulist and democratic nominees to debate wi;h him. By the way, Mr. Editor, populists are a very scarce article in this part of the county, in (act I do not know of any fur miles around. The populist chances of carrying the county are, I fancy exceedingly slim. The club meets the first and third Saturday of each month. Poubtfuls and radicals are invited to be present. Country Cousins, recently organized, is another to the list of secret orders ol this place. The order admits none but the gentle sex to membership. The soeiet y holds weekly meetings and will in due time give a public meeting admitting both setes to hear its aims and objects. Your correspon dent will endeavor to be present and re port proceedings. Several of the mosl prominent young ladies of the neighbor hood are members. Mike Gross and John Tyler intend form ing a partnership to go Into the hop busi ness in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Gus Stagn are gnests at the Wagner residence. Stbaikkk. Varqnam Musings. Makqcam, May 4. Sub-Road Boss Drake is doing some valuable work on the roads this week. Several Marquamites attended circuit court last week as witnesses fin the cele brated case of Marqiiani and Groshong. Farm work is progressing slow on account oj the backward spring. Very little grain has been sown on low lands. Fall grain looks well. The Quaker (or Friends) church have been holding a four week's protracted meet ing at Scott's mills, which closed last Sun. day night. The meetings were conducted by Misa T. Atkinson and MissGritilh.evan galists of Iowa. Much interest was maul, fested during the entire time and foriy-six accessions were made. The revival meeting now being held by the M. E. church at Glad Tidings is having good success. Several conversions were made. Mrs. E. Skirvin went to West Port Mon day to visit her invalid mother, Mrs. John West, The hop crop in this part of the county looks well although many yards that are growing on wet land are very foul. Molalla Muttering!. Molalla, May 7. Some old time demo crats have recently put in their appearance in this vicinity, and as their conlidential talk was in undertones, the inference is that some very important message was being delivered on the "Mills Bill Wilson Bill." , Gordon E. Hayes passed through here Sat urday evening en route to Missouri Ridge, wbtre lie has many friends and clients. Last Sunday Father Small preached the funeral of the late J. Boyles, at Russelville. A very large congregation turned out. Miss Mattie Leavitt has returned from Corvallis college where she has been attend ing school. A. J. Sawtell, wife and daughter start for the mid winter fair soon. Frank Bagby this week succeeded in get ting a bearded grass seed from his ear that has been troubling him a great deal during the past year. Farmers are not quite through seeding yet and will not be until June on low grounds. The killing frost did not materially injure the fruit crop in this locality. Clarkes Chatter, Ci.akkkr, May (J. The republican club is to meet Friday evening at the K. of L. hall as usual. We would be glad if some of the lawyers from town could lie with us again. The populists seem to have a dislike for lawyers. Perhaps It is because the lawyers get away with them so easily. Our school is progressing nicely under the management of Miss Tennie Mayfleld. The spelling school last Friday evening at the school house was largely attended. Mrs. Lottie Hoffman is on the sick list. G. W. Grace is arranging his counters so as to make more room for his spring stock of goods and putting In more show cases. The brass band boys meet for practice every Saturday afternoon.

In spile of the stormy evening there i was a well tilled house. The program was well selected, and the way it was carried out is of great credit to the club. The people of Ugan are alive to the I act that they no longer have to seek abroad for amusement, for they have got as good talent at home as they want. After the play there was a nice quiet little dance where many a happy couple danced and made merry until the wee small hours of morning. In fact the whole affair was a perfect success In every resect. Spxcr.Toa. Orvllle Omelet. Okvili x, May 7. The Lincoln republican ! club met at the usual hour last Tuesday ! evening with all the officers present, and a crowded house. The meetings are growing more interesting all the time and some of the boys are getting quite oratorical. The only way the democrats make any show refuting their arguments is by misrepresent ing their statements or saying they are lies and can't be proved. Rut thanks be, we have proved them so far. We are somewhat at a loss here lately to know what kind of a meeting we shall at tend when we start from home whether it will be a business meeting, political meet ing, Sunday school, or a meeting for draw ing some one over the coals. If yon want to hear of all the meanness a man ever did or ever Intends to do in his life time, as well as much that he never did or can do, just ,mt him on the republican ticket for office, and you will soon find it all out. Hut those democrats; oh, they are so pure! it is a wonder to us they haven't re ceived wings before now. Mink Vmclngs. MlXK, May 8. Quite a rousing meeting was held by the Heaver Creek republican club last Wednesday evening, Thos. Dan iels, Dr. T. B. Thomas and M. Rowen being the principal speakers. The club now num bers somewhere In the sillies, and quite a number of republicans of good standing who had not the opportunity to attend the club will vote a straight ticket on election day. It has been anticipated that some of the populist brethren of this vicinity would join the Coxey army as tbey favor it so greatly, but they are all here yet. Our school is progressing nicely under the management of A. C. Strange. James Shannon had ipiite a fall while pry ing out stumps. The pry gave way and he fell on some obstacle which caused a hurt to his back. John Moehnke had the misfortune to cut his foot with a sharp ax and has been con lined to the house for a few days.

The spelling school at the Beaver Creek school house on each Monday evening Is well attended and considerable interest is luiinifested. Kay Cooper is staying with his grandpa rents, Mr. and Mrs. Kowen.am! going to school taught by his aunt Jennie. Kd.

To Tin KniToa: By making extracts from President Lincoln's first annual message lo congress it was clearly shown by your cor- . . i.. i... ii... rrspuiiurut III IIP! wrm m (..-.ikhidip. Mr. Lincoln was the first to recommend and Iniliule the scheme out of which grew our present national banking system. In commenting on this fact reference was made to a letter purporting to have been written by Mr Lincoln, and which the writer claimed was a forgery. Following Is an ex - tract from the letter: " As a result of the war, corporal Ions have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to pro long its reign by working upon the preju dices of the people until all wealth Is aggre gated in a few hands, and the republic is de stroyed. I feel at this moment more anxi ety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in Hie midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless." I undertake for various reasons to de nounce this extract-as a forgery. The style j composition is wholly unlike Mr. Lin- coin's. He never would have used the phrase " money power." It is nowhere else to he found in his utterances. At liest it is but a slang phrase used by populists and applied by them to men w ho have acquired capital and invested it in mines, shops, fac tories, and other industrial enterprises. .Mr. Lincoln never wo'.ild have said tlnit the money power would " endeavor In prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices ol the eOple." The expression Is too silly for any honest common sense man to enter tain for a moment. He had faith in the people, and a man of fur less sagacity and insight thun he possessed could easily see that capitalists do not manage their alluirs by any such "working," but that dema goguesthe Pennoyers, the towellings, the Nathan Pierces, and the lesser fry, such as run secret political societies in Clackamas county are the ones who work upon the prejudices of the people and incite thorn as far as may lie to break down the men who with their capital have heretofore kept the wheels of Industry in motion and furnished employment for the laborer. Imagine, if one can, the " money power" capitalists arousing a prejudice against themselves in order that all wealth may be aggregated in their bunds! What a mighty force Is preju dice! The sentence quoted means, if It means anything, that capitalists will en deavor to draw down prejudice and hatred on their own heads by means of which they will gobble up all the wealth and send the people and the republic alike Into a com mon ruin. When analyzed it stands for that and nothing else. And all this "as a result of the war," 8uch Is the stuff put forth as an emanation from the pen of Abra ham Lincoln, What a pity he could not have foreseen belore his first call lor vol unteers this ultimate destruction of the republic. Thousands of lives sacrificed, thousands of wives and children made widows and orphans, and millions of treas ure wasted to " result" in a general smash up of the republic! Again, Mr. Lincoln would not have made the prediction we are discussing and then closed with calling it "suspicions." lie j And that was the reason why he recom vai too correct and too well guarded in his mended a "return to specio payments' REDUCTION IN DBYG IlAl$I(iIIOi:ST & COMPANY, 1M Front Street.

Finally, If Mr. Lincoln did Indulge in these terrible and heart-rending suspicious, i and did send up tins pelllum. his prayer I has la-en granted all along the lines II ' this day. The republic Is not destroyed. 1 and while a Tew have become very wealthy !...ii.-tf.i. ...... i.i. . i. not half the wealth ol the country, much less " all,'' is " aggregated In a few hands." The farms, the. small and large homes in every village, town and ully, the tools and machinery owned by artisans and workers in every branch of business; the products of these workers; the horses, swine, sheep and cattle on a thousand hills, and the mill ions in deimsit and savings banks, placed there mostly by small depositors all these when aggregated would be sufficient to buy out all the " plutocrats" of the land and leave a surplus big enough to feed and clothe for two generations an army of populist tramps such as are now inflicting themselves i on the country. Populist papers have lieen publishing this silly exiraet Irom time to time during the last eighteen months, and it has had a continuous run during all the present cam paign. (,'hairmaii Marion Johnson, in the F.NTKKHHIHK of October 7, IWL, quotes It, prefacing It with the following lauKiiage: " Lincoln saw danger ahead when be wrote the following, and because Darren's Lite of Lincoln contained these warnings all the I coiiies of Hist Iwiok fhiit eolild lie f'ooiifl were destroyed by the agents of the money power." This w riter ut that time hud a bor rowed copy of Barrett's Life of Lincoln. He read it through twice carefully, and although It contained nearly or quite all of Mr. Lin coln's messages and slate papers, besides much of bis unofficial and private corre spondence, not a line in the hook could be found expressing uoy such sentiment us that attributed to Mr. Lincoln.. It was not there. No doubt Mr. Johnson believed what he said. Credulity is an article of prime necessity in the poitilisl party, No I""81" " W hatever u.itrutli is Invented by a head artillccr of the party goes without money and without price. All may use it so the Inventor's iiitino is not given lo the public. But how very absurd is Ihe idea that the " agents of the money power," or uny other power, would attempt to gather up and de stroy some thousand copies of a book scat- lured over the wide country in order to blot from existence an opinion expressed by Abraham Lincoln. Huch a job could nut be accomplished if undertaken, und if there la a populist who can't understand that molded men through their agents would not be such fools grunting that they are knaves (which we do not) It is becuuse, as used to he said by Hojoumer Triilh an old negress that the Gurrisouiana carried around with them in the anti-slavery days us a sort of show, "some cups are small and can't hold much." Mr. Johnson, alter making his quotation, added the words, " Mr. Lincoln was the friend of the people."
