A Fruiter Girl. It U not often that a
woman gets arrested for assault and bat
tery ; but inch a case recently occurred
in Lane county, and attracted consider
able attention there. TheUuard ):
The rntlre nelhborhood of Fall Creek
la stirred to its depths by ft row that
occurred there the tiny before Thanks

to the noetoffloe at Fall Creek kept by
Wnt Wihnot. Uu ordered her away but
she refused, saying she wanted her wail.
Then a general row occurred In which
Miss May, Wllmottand his better half,
a Scotchman and New Griffin took an
active part. Ihirlng the melee Mrs Wil
mott's hand was bruised ami Miss
Shanks was thrown to the ground a dis
tanra c( nnarlv lilit fiwt. A warrant
! was sworn out before Justice Ilunicut,
charging Mlsa Shanks with assault and
battery upon Mrs Wiluiott. She was
given a trial More a jury who found her
fiuilty of the charge, but recommended
ler to the loweat tine. The justice assess
ed the tine at 90. ee!rlng to further
contest the rase, she refused to pay the
tine, when she was ordered committed
to the county js.il for 25 days. The con
table, Chas Kisseniter. brought the
young lady here this afternoon and de

A Lovely VaLLCy. This Is a great

Nor tub Okioix. Recently tbe Demo
crat published an item from the West
hide in reference to the naming of Long
Tom. According to it the name origin
ated some time about 1860. Mr Ash by
I'earce and Mr Martin Payne inform the
Democrat that the river went by the
name of Long Tom when they came here
many years before, the former having
come here in 1847, the latter in 1851.
Hence tne story waa simply visionary.

Existing dlsregsrd for Isw and justice,

concessions to private interest, and the
abandonment of public (unctions to pri

political party which shall unite the pa

Ir. seeking the causes of this perversion

lulls a.! Attempts at beneficent legislation,
hampers nubile snr private purposes and
thwarts all reform efforts. The friends of

against the enemy of sll reforms; snd the
only political party which can possibly
promote the best Interests of the whole
people Ss the one making the prohibition
of the liquor traffic and the suppression of
the rum power It first purpose and Its
cardinal principle. The prohibition party
Is the only party unequivocally and Ir
revocably committed to this purpose, and
we Invoke the aid of all patriotic cltl
lens In carrying out thU Intention. All
other political psrticsaie committed to the
continued siutcnsnce of the liquor traffic.
License, law, high or low, are vicious In
principle, sanctioning, continuing and fos

monopoly without in the least mitigating
the evils. They are powerless as a remedy,
and the prohibition party Is pledged to re
peal all the permissive features ot such li
quor license and revenue laws, while re
Lining and vigorously enforcing the re
strictions and prohibitions In con

We declare our all-glance to the nation

I have been surprised to see In the
Northwest Reform Journs. a declaration
of principles which are misleading and
contrary to the declaration of principles
of the alliance. Among them are the fol
lowing: "Gold and silver should be de
monetised. ' "free trade " no laws for the
collection of debts contracted," "govern
ment control of Intoxicants, to be handled
by salaried agents at cost," and others. I
would have nothing to say If the above
psper was not recognised as an alliance
sheet and seeking alliance patronage. '
The quotations from the above paper
are detrimental to the cause of the alliance
In the state of Oregon, and sre not a part
of their declaration of principles, and no
sensible man would or could accept them.
The alliance doss not ssk for the demon
etisation of gold and silver, nor do they
ask to be relieved of all laws which look
to the payment of debts. Nor do they
favor government control of intoxicants.
They have declared that the open bar
room la an evil and should bo abolished.
Now if the Reform Journal purports to
be a recognised organ of the alliance, it
ought to advocate the principles ot that
organlxatlon.rather than the peculiar views
of Its publisher.
urethern of the alliance, you have too
much at stake, therefore, look well before
you give your support to a sheet that Is
liable to mislead you. I do affirm that the
Reform Journal Is colnc harm to the alli
ance and should not be patronised.

Sir Charles Giesecke.an eminent British

Farmers around Utica, N Y, have sold

one company has manufactured about

The Salem Statesman has an editorial en
