Delegate t0 state Convention County Convention at Snmpter. BAKER CITY. Or "Mnivi isTh- Democratic County Central Committee held a meeting at the Courthouse yester day afternoon, and! after elecUng a chair man and secretary, the following dele gates to the state convention were chosen: C. F. Hyde, I. B. Bowen, I. H. McCord. Nat Cooper, Sam White, C. M. Donald son, J. H. Robblns. W. H. Gleason. Al Jones, J. F. McKlnnon and Asa Brown. The time for the county primaries was set for March 31, and tho county conven tion was set for April 5. The convention will be hold at Sumpter. and is a new departure, it being the first time In' the history of the county that the convention was ever called to meet elsewhere than at the county seat. Local Democratic politicians believe that it will be of great benefit to the party. Republicans Have High Hopes. The Republicans In this city have strong hopes of carrying the next election, and by prudent management party leaders are confident that the ticket can be whol ly elected, oth county and state, at the June election. They are confident the tide has turned in their favor, and that they will meet with success at the polls. Baker County has been Democratic for some time, but a general sentiment pre vails In favor of the Republicans, and many Gold-Standard Democrats and Sil ver Republicans will return to the ranks and will quietly vote the ticket at the next election. The large number of stran gers who have gained a residence In the county, it is thought, will also change the aspect of affairs, and Republicans con gratulate themselves that the tide of Im migration headed this way will give the party an impetus that cannot be over come by the combined elements of the opposition parties. A Republican Club was organized here some time ago. It Is an active organiza tion, and Is gaining steadily In influence and membership. At present nearly -WO members are on tho rolls. By June next this number will be largely Increased, and the club will cut quite a figure In the election. Bakes- City Notes.

It Is the opinion of many of our ranch ers with whom we have spoken on the subject, says the Vale (Malheur County) Gazette, there will be considerable water during the coming season.

Jarman was here from Eastern Oregon lately trying to buy cows for ship ment, says the Stayton Mail. He found none for sale.
