JOHN R. BRYSON.
Sincere affection and true re
spect prompt the grief our citi
zens feel at the death of John
Rodell Bryson. He has filled so
large a place in the community
that the unhappy termination of
his busy and useful career is felt
to be a public calamity. Judge
Bryson was an ornament, an
honor to the legal profession.
Scrupulous integrity and sound
judgment marked his career as a
lawyer. He despised the petti
fogger. In the court room he
appealed to reason and not senti
ment He was successful in his
profession and ranked among the
leading lawyers of Oregon.
Mr. Bryson not only did not
seek political honors, but he con
stantly shunned them. Early in
his career lis was elected county
judge of Benton county and gave
the people a business-like and
satisfactory administration, but
since then he has firmly refused
many earnest requests to accept
TvnlitiVal offices. Although he
seldom took a prominent part in
political struggles, his influence
was far greater than that of many
more noisv and obtrusive men,
His quietly expressed opinion
- carried great weight
Judge Bryson Was a useful and
public spirited citizen. He was
a man of affairs and is closely
.identified with the history of the
city's growth and development
during the past 25 years.
Today the living lay the dead
to rest. With heavy hearts, lov
ing friends bear all that is mortal
of John K.. Bryson to tne grave.
He has escaped the pains and
troubles of life. The gain is his.
The loss falls on his sorrowing
family and the citizens among
whom he lived and with whom
he was associated. All who
knew him unite in saying
'he
was a
one."
good man and a useful
H. R. ' Kincaid, secretary of
state, could learn something
from H. R. Kincaid "editor: and
proprietor. " His paper, (the Bu-e-ene
Tournal, publishes an offi
cial roster and among the state
officers appears the name of C.
M. Idleman, attorney-general.
The secretary of state is seeming
ly unconscious of that offices ex
istence. Mr. CorbETT is .indignant
He says that Senator Mitchell is
opposing his being recognized by
the U. S. senate. It is really la
mentable. And to think that
Senator Mitchell, would so act
afW the deeo interest Corbett
took in his candidacy last win
ter! J'
Corbett has discovered that
Senator Mitchell is a bigger man
among big men than Corbett and
all his satellites.
Hammond net Happy-
A. B. Hammond, owner of th
O. C. & E. R. R., was in town last
week. He was not feeling espec
ially jubilant, regarding the fu
ture of the road, which .represents
an outlay of $300,000 spent in bet
terments,. beside the original pur
hasa nrice of $100,000. Ill its
present condition, the line can do
no more than pay operating ex
penses and every timu, repairs are
needed, the owners have to go
down into their pockets.
The load would be good prop
if comnleted across Uregon and
terminating at a harbor enterec.
by vessels drawing 20 to 25 leet
Jlr. Hammond remarked that the
rumored extension to Boise would
be but a fancy until the govern
ment signifies its intention of com
Dieting the improvements at Ya
.quina bay. He was at Washing
ton recently and the outlook was
far from encouraging. The engi
neering department is decidedly
adverse to letting the authorized
contract and the Oregon delega
tion has, so far, made but little
impression upon the department.
The recent legislative fiasco,
said Mr. Hammond, has more
.than offset the credit Oregon gain
ed by voting lor sound money and
it is almost impossible to obtain
money for Oregon enterprises.
The defeat of Mitchell he consid
ered a blow at the stale's advance
ment, for no state had a more
.willing, more popular or more
able representative m congress
than he. His defeat practically
said to coneress. "Oregon wants
nothing more from you." And
Oregon will get but lile.
