Perhaps not th oldest, but certainly among- the eldest of the Pacific Com, is a resident of Washington County, who upon May 20 next will celebrate her lOSth birthday. Time haB dealt gently with her, and there are still traces of these charms which 00 years zgo made her one cf the belles of Eastern Tennessee, famous for its fair women. Mrs. Mary Ramsey "Wood waa born in Knorvllle. Tean., May 20. 1782. one of a family of aeven, ail of whom sOie has outlived, as well as three of her four children. In 1S5S Mrs. Wood came to Oregon with her youngest daughter, Mrs. C fi. Reynolds, now 63, with whom, she makes her home at Hilteboro where many years ago she conducted the first hotel. Twice married, she has hut one child living, her daughter, and about 40 grand and great-grandchildren. Of her great age there can be no question. Hon. W. H. H". Myers, a pioneer of 'G2, remembers har when she came to this Coast, nearly half a century ago, as being then an old lady. Mrs. Wood is still in possession of all her faculties, and keenly alive to everything going on around her; moves freely about the house and yard, and has her sight and hearing little more impaired, than Is common with people -Hi years younger. Hr health is as good as that of the average person of three score and ten, and there seems every prospect that she will see another year, so that her Ufa will have extended into three cen turies. Remembering the death of George Washington, she has also seen the centennial of that event, and observed the changes tshleh hava- filled the country's history during that Interval. A life-long Democrat, she has ever been a, strong- partisan, and keeps her Interest in present politics. Incidentally It may be remarked that this centenarian shows no signs of haing shortened her life by her fondness for coffee, a habit she still indulges. before the franchise shall be granted. Mr. Anson shall give the city an undertaking In the sum of $1000, conditioned upon his Instating an electric light plant cf 150 hcrse-power before January 1, 190L The other amendment provided that Mr. Anson or his assigns should pay to the city 2 per cent of the gross earnings of the plant he or they may operate under he fran chise. The bill as reported was laid over two weeks. The Council passed a very stringent oidi nanco for the Improvement of the sanitary condition of the city, as respects sewerage. J This provides that any person or corpora tion having a depository of filth within 230 feet of a street sewer or In a block hav ing an alley sewer, shall connect the same with the sewer. Such depository must be regularly flushed. All violations of the or dinance ara declared a public-offense, pun ishable with a fine of from $20 to 5100 or Imprisonment for 10 to 20 days; provided, however, that the sentence may be sus pended for 15 days, during which time the nuisance Is to be abated by the party offending. In case the nuisance be not abated, the City Council is authorized to pass an order directing tho Street Com missioner to enter the premises and make the sewer connections necesry and to charge the expenses thereof as a Hen against the premises. The last section of the ordinance pro vides that all depositories of filth not sit uated as described must be kept sn. as healthful a condition as possible ty the use of sanitary agencies, and any failure to comply with this provision is mado punishable by a fine of $50 or Imprisonment for 20 days Fig-lit Transferred to Convention. There is evidence in Salem today that compromises have been effected m all four of the Salem precincts and that the fight which was expected In the primaries will come off In tho convention. It Js reported that only ono slate of delegates to the county convention will be presented 'n each precinct This means that hose who have contended for unpledged delegations have won. and that McBride must take his chances "with others vrhpn. the convention shall oomo to name a Legislative ticket. It probably means, also, that there will bo many McBride men in the convention. The delay in the contest dops not promise to make It any the less warm however, and the questions not determined in the primaries "will be left for settlement In the convention. Unless there should be some misunder standing or difference not now apparent, the primary election tomorrow will be very quiet A leader in one of th9 pre cincts said today that one reason for the compromise on delegates was that by avoiding a contest both sides would savo the expense that necessa-ily follows an effort to get out a full vot-s of the pre c;nct In this connection, it Is remarked thit a Salem cigar dealer says that this I? the cheapest political campaign he ever saw. He says that neither the candidates ror the political leaders are spending as much monev as usual for cigars. Frnit Trees In Bloom.

A great number of stockmen are vacci nating their calves before turning them upon the ranges. Immigrants are beginning to pour Into Lake County from all parts of the coun try. Her resources have been brought to the notice of the outside world to a con siderable extent during the past Winter, and the results are showing. Letters of Inquiry are received here constantly, and from the immigration that has already set In, there is no doubt that the popu lation will be largely increased within the next few months. Owing to the scarcity of snow tho past Winter the destruction of rabbits has been small. A number of Goose Lake ranchers have hit upon a. plan that will In future protect their crops against these pests. They are fencing their entire pos sessions with rabbit-proof fences. This seems to be the only means of prevent ing the destruction of crops by the in creasing hordes of rabbits. The Town Council of Lakeview has pur chased 'the electric light plant of James Anthony at a cost of $2500, and will add to It about $7400 more in the way of addi tions and improvements, and will hereaf ter conduct the municipal lighting.
