SHADE OF JEFFERSON!
?' ; The Times argues for initiative
and referendum, which, like fiat
money, are the unsubstantial fan
tasies of populistie dreams. Lo
cal democrats are too practical to
really believe in such impractica
ble schemes, but they want the
paying offices and will accept
anything- in the way of beliefs
that the populists can invent.
But thcTimes argues for the in

Benton county warrants, shortly

offered for them. This change

or has been the knowledge that
the warrants would be oaid in

Money is cheaper in Oregon
today than it ever has been. Do

The reasonable and reasoning
republican who voted for Bryan
will answer "no."" He can come
back into the republican camp
without shame and without loss
of ielf-respect. To correct error
is virtue. Today there can be
no such thing as a silver repub
lican. He who is a republican
will act and vote with the repub
lican party, regardless of his atti
tude in the last presidential
election.
A LOST CAUSE.
There is every practical rea
son for believing that free silver
or any other dishonest or vision
ary monetary system,- will not
long be the rallying cry of any
considerable number of Ameri
can voters. The mass of men
are more or less influenced by
party leaders, and those leaders
will drop the "free silver" cry
when it has been worked to the
utmost in local affairs. States
may still be won by free silvcr
ites, but the nation, never, and
the leaders of the opposition to
the leublican party under
stand that the sentiment
tiny haye aroused . must
Je fivctively smothered before

Then too, California, Kentucky,

The Salem Sentinel suggests
the names of T. T. Geer and
Binger Herman as good republi

Mr. Geer. at the heiehth of his
fame and nnnnlaritv. could hard
lv organize his strength suffici-
ently to secure the nomination,
and his recent disastrous and in
excusable fiasco as a candidate
for office,. has lost him most of
his support. Mr. . Hermann
would be a strong candidate and
splendid governor, but it is
doubtful if he would seriously
consider the proposition.

The second man met after
reaching the south end ot Kings

J. W. Dunn, known all over Ben
ton county as "Jim,'' who, being
asked about news, admitted that
there was a small sized famine in
that line, but added in that truth-
"fnl tone, (which is one of ; Jim's
pecnliarities)T and with a smile
that, wonld convince the most

what sublime heights Jim naa
reached in his constant devotion
to truth "tell all the folks that
the roads are good, the bridges are
all safe in Kings Valley and that
there is an unusually large run 01
salmon in Beaver Creek, which
empties into the Luckiamute, near
Hoskins. Jim accounted,. jor u.e
presence of the salmon by saying
that thev were blown out )( Ya-

Near here, the writer met his
old soldior friend. Geo. W. Owen
and Mr. Hoffman, preparing to
move from one mountain ranch to
another, which undertaking would
probTtbiv have been postponed to
a later dale but' for Dunn's state
ment that '-the roads are goo'd."

sons and lady visitors, which he
did. doins ample .justice ..to the

Following down Beaver Creek
hoping to catch at least a glimpse
of the salmon before mentioned
I ran on to Mr.'Watsou. who has
iust completed a new home, and
has a good iarm well situated
Farther down the 6tream I met
Mr. Hale, an intelligent and

Doc. 'Frantz, at Hoskins. They
are hard working, honest men
noV making extensive repairs on
their large lumber plant. Here I
met my old soldier friend, Titus
Ranney, who does' a nice little
business in general merchandise,
and is also the "Nasby" of the
place. ' Assisting the, Frantz boys
were Link Chambers, Mr. . Botfur
and two tir three others. At Tile's
store I had quite a chat with yW,
A- Iroxel, M. a. Watson and u
L. Ingram. The latter lives six
miles up the Luckiamule and is
engaged in the dairy business. He
fa-nd his partner, Mr. Buyers, will
make only llie best butter and
cheese .for market. They have
every facility aud favorable condi
tions for making a success of their
industry;
I dined with W. L Townsond,
who raised a very good crop of
-hops, but failed to sell when they
were bringing the best prices. L
Allen, a farmer, is succeeding fine
ly. He had a splendid band of
turkeys, it being close to Christ
mas- lime. L. R. Price, ' suffering
from a sore hand, was unable to
attend to his blacksmilhing for
awhile. ;
Wilson 'Bump has 15 tons of
'fine hops ' for which he hopes to
get 15 cents a pound. He is jolly
and " seemingly : as vigorous as 'he
was 15; years ago. W. E. Doty is
a successful farmer,, judging by
his general appearance and the
stock of fine horses he -owns. L.
G. Price:: lately" rsturried from t
four year's stay over in Washing

ments and .is back in Webfoot to
stay; ; M. L Rogers, owner of the
Kings Valley full roller ; process
flouring mills, does a, good busi
ness, and Ins flour is considered by
its consumers as being the best.
I was hospitably . entertained
.over night by an old time Inend,
Willard Price, having been pilot
ed to his abode after dark from
the Kings Valley store by his son.
By the way, A. C. Miller is a part
owner of this desirable, business,
and is also postmaster. He is as
genial as ever. At this store I
met onr- county cemmissioner,
Jake Chambers. : r ; - .
John' Chambers, Barney Cady,
Frank A. Blunkett, Sam King,
James Plunkelt, Will Rad, Robt.
Matheny and J. H. Glassford, are

of like kind,5 have homes' in one
of the richest and. most beautiful
valleys it has ever been. the writ

are all hospitable. Each and all
were : glad to give 'the writer all
the information needed and wel
comed him to their homes and
firesides. I dined, while in this
lovely valley, with Judge Cheno-
with, at his farm.- It was a pleas
urn to again have an hour's chat
with this old school gentleman,
who has in the past held many
mportant positions. . He is full of
