State Committee Meetikg.:
The state republican committee
met "Wednesday in Portland at the
St.. Charles hotel, at 11 o'clock.
All counties except three were
represented and there were but
few proxies. Committees on call
and apportionment having been
appointed, the committee took re
cess until two o'clock. In the
afternoon the delegates, number
ing 218, were, on report of the
committee. aDDortioned among the
-74.
different counties, giving one dele
gate at large to each county, and
one delegate for each 175 votes
cast for Binger Ilerrman in 1888,
or fraction over one-halt. This
gives Benton county eight dele
gates. The state convention was
called to meet at Portland, April
16th, prox. An effort was made
to have the convention at Salem
but it failed, the vote standing
Portland li, Salem 9. The call
invites all voters who believe in
American markets for American
productions, in the right of every
voter in the nation to cast a free
ballot and have it honestly
counted, and in a liberal support
of our common schools, to unite
in selecting delegates to this con
vention. The utmost harmony
prevailed and every member re
ported bright prospects for a re
publican victory in June. .
Took a Tumble. A young fellow
lately from the east, while stand
ing, with two companions, close
to the edge of the bank of the
river at the foot ot Jefferson street
on Sunday last, attempted the
mash act on a certain young lady
of this city, and, in attempting
to make a very polite bow step
ped backwards a little too far and,
before he saw his mistake, was
precipitated to near the water's
dge nearly forty feet straight
down. Strange as it may seem,
he received no injuries, but his
Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes were
liberally besmeared with dirt and
his little footsy-tootsies came in
contact with the water. His com
panions assisted mm in getting up
the bank, and he then proceeded
to his place 01 lodging to secure
a change of -wearing apparel. He
will be more careful in the future
Jiow he acts especially when
along the water front. The girls
'took a tumble" also and hied
themselves home.
A Fire Alarm. A few taps of
the fire bell brought the fire boys
and apparatus out on Friday last
about noon, but their services
were not needed. A chimney had
been burning out in the rear of
Allen & Woodward's drug store,
in the Fischer building, during the
forenoon and some of the smoke
had found -its way between the
bricks and had become so dense
in the Odd Fellow's hall that it
was noticed coming out of the
window. Judge Bryson and others
soon had the room opened and the
smoke was cleared out. A bucket
of water stopped further proceed
ings in the chimney.
Lumber. Wishing to announce
that we are sole agents for the
Trantz Bros., of King's Valley.
We take the opportunity to say to
those who contemplate building
during the coming spring and sum
mer, that we will be able to furnish
first-class lumber, for less than it
can now be bought in this
market. -Hartless & Davissox.

Friday eveningMiss Hattie Hanna,
one of the stenographers in the
Oregon Pacific office here, was ten
dered a pleasant surprise party.

the guests, J. B. Walker acting as

thirty friends present.
