Republican Primaries. To-day
the Republicans of Linn County will
be oiled upon to meet at the usual
places of voting in each precinct to
elect delegates to attend the Republi
can County convention, which meets
in this city on next Saturdav, the 28th.
Vfe urge npoit Republicans generally
to attend the primaries and see that
representative men are placed in nom
ination as delegates to the Couuty
Convention. The coming election is to
solve the problem of the capacity of the
people of Oregon for self-government
whether the people of Oregon will
iwntiime to be led by the nose by ring
politicians, who meet i Convention
and adopt "platforms" of "glit
tering generalities," which mean any
thing or nothing: or whether they
will "cut" these rings, cliques and1 old
party liangers-on entirely, adopt a
platform that is plain aiid strong, and
susceptible of no double construction,
placing upon it candidates who are
honest, capable, and in full and entire
sympathy with the people, and who
will boldly and fearlessly oppose any
and all schemes of corruption, fraud
and wrong-doing, no matter trom
whence they emanate. Don't send
delegates who will go to the Conven
tion with a "candidate" whom' they
are determined to foist upon that Con
vention, own should be prove distaste
ful to the majority men who are
ready to sacrifice every interest of the
party to secure the end they have in
view. We have before us tlie disastrous
effects of such a policy. Send honest,
capable men, men of sound Judgment,
t the County Convention, and the
State delegation which will be selected
therefrom will be of the very best
material, and. cannot fail to be harmo
niouscannot Ml to select for the
ticket to be voted for iu une. the kind
and character of men the People de
mand shall haw conhroi of the admin
titration of affairs during the coming
four yean. Let the People but do
their duty to themselves,, sod all will

Anniversary. 'The fifty-fifth anni

ebrated by the Odd Fellows of this city
in grand style. As the aeth comes on
Sunday, Monday, April 27th, lias been
chosen as the day to celebrate. Odd
Felloivs generally throughout the State
are invited to join with us in the cele
bration. Tlie ball and supper, to
gether with the sociable on tlie even

the Daughters of Rebekah, will be the
big feature, eclipsing anything of the
kind, for eujoyroetit, ever witnessed in
the State. Immediately after the
arrival ot tlie trains on the O. & C.
Railroad on Monday, south and north,
the members of the order will form iu
procession at the hall on First street,
and march eitlier to tlie grove In the
eastern edge of the city or to the
Court House (the point depending
npon the weather), where an oration
will be delivered by Rev. D. K. Nes
bit, of Corvallis, one of Oregon's
most eloquent sons. Application has
been made to the Railroad Company
for a reduction of tare on the occasion,
which will doubtles be granted, and
we shall probably be able to give a
schedule ot rates from all points on
the road next week. A full pro

with the different committees, will be

gives his "Experiences in the City"
an article which for its simple truth
the youth of the land should read to
their profit;: "My Prayer" ia, not a.
religious sketch, as one would suppose
from the title, but is a most touching
story told ih the sincere manner and
rough speech of a railroad hand. "The
Weekly Diabolical," by Karic Kase,
aims a sharp and timely blow at sen
sational literature. "The Kaiser Fred

tertaining stories. In tlie installment
of',MlserVJTfrpemi,"H. V. Osborne

Says tlie Walla Walla Union of
the 7tb : Parties who have just
crossed the Blue Mountains say
that it is a very rough road to
travel. For some days the stages
were unable to cross at all, and the
mails consequently delayed. Wbat
mail matter was got across had to
be tied up iu a raw-hide, and then
hauled and dragged through the
snow, somet the time by a horse,
and when the snow was so deep
that the horse could not do it three
men pulled it along. On one occa
sion they had to leave the sleigh
and attempted to break the road
by leading the stage horses, but in
the first two miles three of the
horses gave out, aud had to be left.
The other three horses and the
driver and passengers managed to
wallow through from four to eight
feet of snow and finally arrived at
Cayuse. Mr. Foster, at Meacham's
says that he has never in all that
time seen so mueh snow in these
mountains. It will probably be
some time before the road is again
in good condition for travel, as the
snow falls and tills up there faster
than it can be cleaned out. For a
number of days they have had more
or less snow every day This is
the first interruption of mails over
that route this Winter, and is the
most serious and ia likely to be the
most protracted one that has oc
curred for years.

turned whistled, as a signal to the
vessels on the outside!. As the
wind was fair, the captain of the
chooner undertook to sat!' in and
had got about halt way across when
the wind died out and she began
to drift, soon striking bottom and
wae beached on the North Spit,
where she now lies, supposed to be
a total wreck. No lives were lost.

Under this heading acorrespond
ent of the Omjonirm writes :
Several of your correspondents in
discussing the extravagance of the
State Government, seem to place
all the responsibility upon the Leg
islature, ami never meiuion the
State Executive in that connection.
They, from design, or otherwise, fail
to call public attention to the (act
that the Governor constitutes an
important part of the law-making
Kwcr of the State, ami tliat no
Legislative act can become a law
without the Governor's signature
or approval, unless passed over his
yeto by a two-third's vote in both
branches ot the Legislature. They
also neglect to call attention to the
fact, that Governor Grover, not
only approved all the extravagant
and' corrupt jobbing acts of the last
Legislature that have been fastened
upon the people to cat up their sub.
stance, but that in his message he
recommended some of the obnoxious
measures, ami was seconded in his
recommendations by Secretary
Chadwick in his biennial report.
The Governor recommended the
building of a State Capitol, and, as
I understand, assisted in cunningly
drawing the bill so as to deceive
the Legislature into the belief that
it would cost only $100,000 ; but
he took good care to appoint build
ing commissioners that would com
mence a building that he himselt
now admits will cost $500,000, and
that competent architects declare
will cost over a milium of dollars,.
It will also be remembered that the
Governor (backed by Secretary
Chadwick in his renort I in his mes
sage strongly urged a law creating
a Board of Equalization, and hia
argument clearly showed his object
to be, not to equalize, but to increase
the taxes ; he and Chadwiek drew
the bill, he appointed the Board,
and "Holy Saint Patrick" what a
law and what a Board !
Many other acts of the State Ex
ecutive Department are equally
wrong, but I will not lengthen this
article to mention them at this time.
The last Legislature was certainly
bad euough. but at the same time.
justice requires that the sins of the
Governor and secretary should not
be thrown upon it. And the pres
ent uprising of the people will not
accomplish their desired economy
and reduction ot taxes unless the
State Executive Department is thor
ongly changed and reformed as well
as the Legislature.
OBSERVER.
Mr. Buford, who has just re
turned from Eastern Oregon to
Salem, contradicts many of the re
ports concerning the loss of stock in
that portion of the State during the
viuter, and particularly in reference
to Wasco county. He says that
stock, as a general thing, both cat
tle and sheep, has wintered uncom
monly well, and are in excellent
condition now. Generally, he says,
losses have occurred through neg
lect of owners ; though some tew
have met with losses which could
not be averted, from exposure and
disease. In the Palouse country,
Mr. Buford says targe numbers have
died, but it was owing to the fact
that immigrants had come in there
with stock at so late day that
they had no time to prepare food
for the winter. He eites one case,
in Klicki'at valley, of a band of
8,000 sheep, out ot which only one
was lost during the winter, and
says this was the general good luck
of stock-raisers in that valley. He
thinks that stock On all ranges in
these sections, with few exceptions,
has come out of the past winter in
better condition than waa the case
last Spring.
