BT ADDISOX BENNETT.
Friday last waa a great day for Gil
Ham County. As ataled in Th OregA
nlan of yesterday morning It was the
occasion of a grand patriotic rally and
th review of the newly enlisted Horn
Guards of that county, th reviewing
officials being Governor James Withy
comb and Adjutant-General Williams.
The review and parade were in th aft
ernoon and th big doings at night In
th opera-houne-rink-arsenal.
There are two classes of these home
guardians, the on Is th State Mtllti
and th other are deputy sheriffs, but
the uniforms of khaki are the same.
Th Gilliam boys belong to the latter
clasa, of which there ar 4000 In th
state. 2000 of them having guns. The
Gilliam boys have no guns; their only
semblance to soldiers was their khaki
suits and white cotton gloves. But
they are a fine, upstanding lot of young
fellows and If the I. W. W.s or any
other pro-Germans attempt to kick up
a racket they had better do It In some
other county than Gilliam if they wish
to escape with whole hides.
Three Ceapaales la Cooaty.
Ther ar three companies In the
county, as follows: One at Arlington
another at Mayvllle and the third at
the county seat. Condon. The fires hai

tain Joseph Tatone; the second has (0

other at Condon with 104 members.
commanded by Captain K. C. Mc
carty. Major J. W. Kockcr is the
drill officer. In addition to these the
company of 100 from Fossil. Wheeler
County, participated in the proceedings
t Condon, their commanding officer
being Captain W. G. TrllL In each
county these guards are really In
charge of the Sheriff as commander
In-chief. So Sheriff J. W. Llllie bosses
tbe Gilliam boys.
Th dispatch In yesterday's Orego
nlan told about the disagreeable
weather, but did not go strong enough.
It was one of those raw March days.
It waa cold, there were often flurries
of anow, and always a keen west wind.
But at that there were more people on
the Condon streets than perhaps ever
before. Main street was Jammed about
like Washington street In Portland dur
ing the big day of a rose festival.
Gilliam la but a small county about
1.00 souar miles In extent and has
about 3000 people. There seemed to be
fully that many there when the parade
formed. At night a ben the rink was
opened a big crowd was present and
when the hour of the meeting arrived
the place was packed and Jammed.
More than S00 tlcketa were taken in at
the -door, and aside from that there
must have been 200 or 400 kiddles.
I Speeches Pteaae Audience.
The speakers of the evening were
the Governor. General Williams and
Homer T. Angell, a Portland attorney.
I cannot give even an outline of these
talks, but none of the gentlemen ever
made better forensic efforts. From
first to last they had the audience
cheering about half the time. The
three speeches occupied nearly two
hours, but there was not even a crying
kiddle to ssy stop. Indeed, each of
th speakera could have taken much
more time and. yet pleased the audi
ence greater.
The Dallea band, with Frank Lurai
leader, gave most excellent music.

were 40 voices to do the words of the

And then the dance! Well. It lasted
until after I Saturday morning. Such
a Jolly time they had! The floor was
Jammed for every number. The mem
bers of the band nearly blew their
mustaches off.
Prosperity Everywhere Evident.
Talk about prosperity! Tou will find
It up In Gilliam sure and certain. The
wheat never looked better at this time
of year than It does right now. I asked
one of the prominent bankers, G. B.
Dukek. what the prospecla for the 11
crop were and he said compared with
11. 11 and inT It waa fully 125 per
cent. Of course nobody can tell what
will happen between now and harvest,
but right now the conditions ar Ideal.

Xo Candidates May Be Nominated In
Either Second or Third Congres
sional Districts, Only In "irst
and in State at Large.
SALEM. Or., March 9. (Special.)
The Prohibition party In Oregon can
not, by amalgamating vith the new
National party, assign its political
rights to the new party, Attorney-General
Brown held In an opinion to Sec
retary Olcott today. Consequently the
National party will be unable to nomi
nate candidates in contention in this
state for the election of this year.
The Prohibition party itself, how
ever, may so nominate candidates for
the state at large and for the First
Congressional District, but cannot
nominate them for the Second and
Third districts.
After pointing out that the law re
quires a political party to have S per
cent of th entire vote cast for Rep
resentative In Congress before it can
hold a convention to nominate candi
dates, Mr. Brown continues:
"An examination of the abstract of
votes cast at the general election held
November 7. 1916, shows that In the
First Congressional District Mark V.
Weatherford, who was the nominee for
Congress of the Prohibition party, as
well as the Democratic party, received
39,101 votes, which is more than 5 per
cent of the total vote cast in said dis
trict and in the entire state for Rep
resentative In Congress. '
"In neither of the other two districts
the statute to the facts. It is apparent
that the Prohibition party is entitled to
be recognized as a political party in the
state at larg-e and in the First Congres
sional District of the state of Oregon,
but not in the Second or "Third, for the
purpose of making its nominations of
candidates by party convention.
"The question is also raised whether,
if the Prohibition party amalgamates
with the new National party, taking the
name of the latter, the rights of the
Prohibition party to nominate candi
dates by assembly would be affected
thereby.
"Answering, I beg to 6ay that the
fact that the Prohibition party is en
titled to make such nominations by
convention would not authorize nomi
nations to be made in that way by any
other party with which it is merged.
In other words, it could not assign its
rights to any other party with which
it becomes Identified.
