The Simon-Corbett republicans are not very numerous but what there are of these are the best political workers in the coun ty and it will be hard to tell what will turn up by election time. A great many of the politician streak want to harmonize and it may come to pass that harmony 'it will be. The Mitchellites, however, can af ford to be harmonious as they are in the majority. The Populist committee meeting which was held in this citv recom mended a member of their party in each of the twenty-one precincts in the county, to the county court to be appointed judge of election. The suggestions were not followed in most of the appointments made, however. In a few of the precincts those recommended were appointed clerks of election. In North Hills boro John Sewell and in South Hillsboro O. C. Zook were the ones recommended, neither of whom was appointed. The J. B Matthews Post, No. 6, G. A. R., of Forest Grove, and the Woman's Relief Corps of the same place, irstalled their officers the lat ter part of lat-t week in the Mason ic hall in that city. The hall was tastefully decorated witn the na tional colors. There was a large crowd present to whom refresh ments were served. The relief corps was presented with "a banner case for which a vote of thanks was un animously tendered. The literary program was a great success. The evening was closed with the sing' ing of patriotic songs. Edward Naylor, of Forest Grove, last week drove fifteen Angora soats to Portland. They are for Seattle men who intend taking them into the Klondike country when the trail opens next spring. Four teen of them were large wethers and one a nannie. The latter will be taken along for her milk and it is intended to hitch the wethers to sleds and about half of them- have alrerdv been broken to work. They are superior to other animals on ac count of being able to pick their living as they go along and they are a great deal stronger than dogs Their he.ivy fleecj protects them from the rigors of the Alaskan cli mate. Ed is repotted as having an order for another lot to be used for the same purpose and that he is now training them on his' farm near the Grove. He has something like two hundred on his farm. i WILL BE 1 r Prominent Men From Various Silver Parties Meet. AND CONFER FOR FUTURE ACTION. Plenty of Harmony and There will be but one Silver Ticket in the Field Dur ing the Coming Campaign. Portland was Friday and Saturday last the place of meeting and con ference of silver men from all re form parties and from all parts of the state. There was harmony of sentiment and populists, democrats and silver republicans all met with good cheer, determined to get to gether in the coming political fight. One thing was surpriting'and that was the number of silver republi cans present. Washington county had a good delegation present, Populists: II. B. Luce, A. C. Arch bold, G. W. Kelley, M. Bisbee and M. J. G'.eason. Democrats: J. M. Wall, II. Ber nard and H. Wehrung. Silver Republicans: J. H. Sew- ell, W. M. Langley, D. M. Dunbar and J. T. Aphn. Chairman Cooper called the meet ing to order in the Columbia Club rooms and upon motion a commit tee was appointed to bring in resol utions representing the sense of the conference. On this committee were two populists, W. R. King, state senator from Baker county be ing one of them, two democrats and two silver republicans. 1 tie com mittee advised union of the three reform parties on plans similar to those which were so successful in Washii gton state, the last election The democratic state central com mittee met the next day'and prac ticallv endorsed the conference of the day before. Outsideof Portland there seems to be a general desire, that the people opposing gold stan dardism shall put up a successful fight and their opportunity is now at hand. Of course, MayVr Pen noyer does not want union of forces but he will observe an earnest tight bv the unionists and they hope to duI through without the mayor's Wq, John C. Young and U'Ren "" 1 tui to union as Mrs. E. J. B. Patton Died Last Thursday '.Night at the Grove.
