The lines were telegraphed all over the country aa having been original with the secretary, hut both he and the critics were quick to explain that they were produced a good many years ago hy Maurice Thompson Still we have no doubt that Mr. Shaw could and would have dashed off the lines if Mr Thompson had not done it first. The fact that they were in the secretary's mind demonstrated that the divine af flatus was in his soul and struggling for an outlet. Happy the man who can give expres sion to his spring poetry without writing it off. Chicago Record Herald. GOSSIP FROM THE CAPITA! OrpRonlans in Washington City Are Enjoying Life. THE TICKET. The nominations have been made and i t!ie Republican ticket is before yon It is a good ticket. It is composed of ca pable, clean and strong men from top to bottom. It is headed by Senator Brow ne.ll, who has represented Clackamas County in the upper chamber of the state legislature for eight years to the satisfac tion of all of the people. There can be no doubt of his re-election. It has for county judge Thos. F. Ryan, who has made an enviable record and will ' be given a second term. Its three repre sentatives, C. 0. Huntley, Hans Fault-en and H. A. Webster, are men who will represent tbe county and state in the lower house to the best of their ability, which is unquestioned. For' commis sioner William tsrobst, of Wilsonville, is an honest man, who has the confidence of his fellow citizens. He tins never asked or held a public office and the nomination came to him unsolicited. The nominee for county clerk is F. A. Sleight, of Canby, who won out after a hard contest, and who is a capaole man in every respect. The nominee for re corder, Henry E. Stevens, of Milwaukie, has bad experience in county affairs and is very popular all over the county. J. 1;. Shaver, of Molalla, tbe nominee for sheriff, is a farmer and will make a good sheriff. Enos Cahill, for treasurer, and James F. Nelson, for assessor, are old soldiers, and will make competent offi cials. John W. Meldrum will be elected surveyor by a large majority. He is known by al nost every voter. R. L. Holman has Berved two terms as cor- Paor. F. L. Washuikn, state biologist, has issued a book on water. It is a neat pamphlet, published by the state and tells what kind of water to drink and what kind to leave alone. It is a very good book of its kind, and will be read by a few scientists. Nothing is said in the book about Bullrun water or about the filtered water of Oregon City. How ever, the professor has said at other times that we have water that is not only good and pure, but is far better than some water he has seen and partaken of. The reading public is informed that the Willamette River is good at Oregon City, through a filter. We aNo me it to oer aie the largest manufactories - of their kind on the Pacific Coast. It is super fluous to state that it is also used for the purpose of navigation. When Sam L. Simpson wrote "Beautiful Willamette" filters were practically unknown. W'ISTER HAS .Mil NY AITK.UTlONS Washington Delegation Favars Im prorem nt of Upper (Vii nbhi. Other New of Interest. Theri ig a scarcity of wheat about Ore gon City and the flour mills have closed down until after harvest. It is pertinent to ask why some man had the supreme nerve to ask Astoria for a site for a flour mill and a bonus of $25 000. Tbe county of Clatsop grows little or no wheat. It cannot be that the good people of Astoria thought that wheat would be hauled past the Portland flour mills and down to As toria to be manufactured into flour there, for the site and the bonus were not forth coming. Commendation to due the Portland City & Oregon Railway Company for its action in placing an early car on the Oregon City-Portland run. The early car is a convenience to the residents of In is city in more ways than one and is universally appreciated. Such action as this, coming comparatively unsolicited, tends to diaw closer the ties that exist between a railway and its patrons. Asa leader in classic Greek literature the Corvallis Gazette is Making a repu tation. A new translation of Homer's 1 1 Had is now running serially in that jour nal. How fitting it is that the home of oner. He is experienced and competent. , ie 0reKon A(?ri(.u,tural Conege ,boold I This is the ticket. It is worthy of your Tote, and if tbe Republicans of this county stand shoulder to shoulder for the whole ticket at the coming election next June, all of tbe nominees will go in witb a whoop. have one newpaper that is a patron of literature and the fiine arts. OLE POETIC STATESMEN. Pity tbe man who is not a poet in the spring. When tbe vernal breezes blow tbe afflatus still must flow. "In the spring the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." And no young man can be in love without ap preciating all that is poetic. It is not, however, tbe young man only who bas the privilege of being full of poesy in the spring. Even to the grave statesman and aged counselor, if they be manly and healthy, comes the longing to burst forth in song when the willows gleam yellow. While making a speech on rural free delivery, in the House of Rep resentatives the other day, the Hon. John II. Dougherty of Liberty, (Mo.,) Itostrophized bis congressional district tbns: There The orchard and tbe vine yield prodigiously ; The clover ttiat carpet the earth Vies with the swf t -scented meadows To burden the air with delightful perfume. Its vast fields of wavingconi Jteflect back the sunshine, while tbe wheat ocks it in its bearded sheaf. Upon its hills Great herds of live stork grow fat In pastures of succulent blue grass. OPINIONS OFOTIltKS. Colonel Robert A. Miller, formerly of this county, now of Clackamas County, is being favorably spoken of in connec tion with the Democratic nomination lor Governor. Col. Miller has been fighting tbe battles of Democracy for lo, these many years, and is widely known over tbe state. Ashland Tidings. Hon. L- T. Harris, of Lane county, has been mentioned for Speaker of the next House of Representatives by his friends. While it is yet a long time before the be ginning of tbe session, and many factors may come op later to determine the choice of that official, still it may not he 1 amiss to say that Mr. Harris is eminently qualifed for the position. He has a good record as a legislator, and those who ob served bis attitude in the last House on public questions cannot help but admire him. He is a safe man, young and ener getic, and able to make a successful leader. Salem Statesman.

While Oregon letters have told, for two months back of wild flowers In bloom, we have had phenomenal winter, with mixture of anow, rain, ttlush and Ice to diversify the climate, and colds ad libi tniii. Today there is sunshine, with freezing tempeiature and a north wind that attends strictly to business and makes the world disagreeable. There Is an occasional day when sunshine en courages the buds to swell and flowers to peep;but tliese are sandwiched in few and far between. This is told to let Tour readers know what a good climate they i have. It is a far cry fr m Oregon to this city, but there are Oregouiana enough here to break the monotony, and they occasion ally make themselves apparent. Last week brought an invitation to attend an elocutionary evening with Mrs. W. P. Williams, formerly Miss Ella Royal, of Salem. State pride made it necessary to turn out, so Mr. II. H. Gilfry ami my self attended, spending a most enjoyable evening. .Mrs. Williams proved to be a very fine elocutionist; indeed, re cited far better than was expected, so the evening passed delightfully, especi ally as we met there Congressman Tongue -and his daughter, also Colonel Straight, of Eugene, and his daughter. Mr. Williams is a clerk in the general land olfice and Mrs. Williams Is active in good works, this occasion being for some worthy object. Winter here has various attractions besides theaters. Literary societies offer pleasant relief from routine of official life. Mr. Gilfry and myself belong to the oldest Shakespearean club in Wash ington, whose meetings are always in teresting. These are courses of lectures g;ven by the National Geographical Society, covering subjects of recent in vestigation. As my forefathers risked life and property in the revolution, the Sons of the American Revolution take me in and their monthly gatherings are enjoyable especially where ladies are invited. The state of Washington delegation seem to favor improving the navigation of the fjpwr Columbia. There should be harmony of action between North Pacific states to lessen the time when products of the Inland Empire can have water transportation to the sea, so to lessen cost of carriage to producers The River and Harbor bill has been reported to the House by that coin mittee and a liberal sum will be ae propriated for the Columbia river, fur repair of the jetties at the entrance and other demands. While the stun unex pended for the Boat Railway at thu Dalles is left for use on the canal and locks contemplated, no work will be dune on that canal until a new board of engineers Bhali have made report. Mr. Burton, chairman of the River and Harbor committee, made an elaborate speech on that bill to answer assertions that millions are to be wasted on insig niticient stieams at the demand of local politics. He showed that the total (or streams is insignificant; that tho greater portion is for channels of commerce like tbe Colnmbia. Our democratic friends are trying hard to find points to make a campaign on in 1904, but have no capital piled np as yet. Theodore Roosevelt is not aiding them any, but goes straight on attending to business, and every day ' seems to add to his hoi, I on the people. He would no doubt, like to succeed himself as presi dent, which is but natural; but the form of Mai k Hanna looms up as a presiden tial possibility. Hanns stands before the world as a man who has befriended labor, for be has done more than any other American statesman to advocate labor interests. As be bas often inter vened to settle strikes and secure for labor its just rights. This will insure him the labor vote, and bis career has all been consistent. There are 8()00 men on his payrolls, at Cleveland, Ohio, and bis men have never struck against him. Such a man deserves much and it is pity there are not more like hun. Roosevelt is a different roan, but his nature is as true and reliable. During his administration there will be no truckling to politicians for support, for be i not that sort of a man. It looks as it one of them will be selected as presi dential candidate. Washington is destined to be a magnifi cient city, if the nations can make it so, but one has only to go a few blocks from tbe dome of the capitol to see negro homes of rickety wooden buildings be side fashionable family residences. Many new buildings are rising in air, but they often shadow these same negro sharks, cover often venerable giound that l waiting for some buyer who will bund l.rgelv. It will require half a century to eliminate these di'tilmentals. Shaking of Oregouiana, we hava line at present Hon. Jeff Myers, formerly of Linn county, which be has often repre sented in legislatures, but has been prac ticing law In Salem. It was like a healthy breeie to see hint the other day, as he represents the coauiopollian char acter of the West Coast, which Is by lar 1 the nioet cosmopolitan portion of these United Slates. Jeff is on his wedding trip, which combines business that may detain them In the Kant until June, as hrt has matters to I H'k after In various s -ctions. Mr. and Mrs. Myers had teen to Charleston, taking In the exposition there before coming to Washington, My next will go more Into detail of what may bo pending in Congress that cau Interest your readers. S. A. Clakkc. PETITION FOR UUTtH.I R0.U. People of Porter and .Miller's Set.le nient Need the lllghwar. -Irk Gamkisii, Or., March "(I. The icople of Potter's and Miller's settlement have gotten up a petition for a road miming from J. K. Honebon's place on a direct line to a oint in lh present county load about 00 mis east of M rs. Lemon's south west corner, The people of Porter's set tlement have petitioned to connect with this road where it crosses Still Creek To these people this rond is a very serious matter. Their present egress is up a hill with a pilch of about 30 par cent. It is impossible for them to get a threshing machine down tint hill. So to these people it is a question of bread and but ter. A remonstrance is being circulated in the neighborhood of the poHtnluVeop posirg the proposed road. Whoever signs this remonstrance signs for these people a poorer livelihood. They have been struggling here for many years lor a mere existence and are deserving of a better reward than a continuance in pov erty. llie proposed road will have a grade of less than 10 per cent, all con trary reports notwithstanding.
