were held in the Catholic courch, Fath

Leo Gerhard was born near Corvallis
Aug. 8, 1863. and spent most of his life
here, where he made many friends and
no exemies. A man of generous impuls

to himself; and whatever faults he may

such as miured onlv himself TTp wm
sympathetic and companionable, and will (
be ever kindly remembered by those who
knew him best. There is truth in these
words of a poet who sings by the Pacific,
"Iu men, whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still;
In men whom men pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot,
I hesitate to draw the line
Between the two, where God has not."

Man said that Judge Burnett being a fruit
man. would doubtless lie interested in
that question. The convention adjourn
ed at 12, for dinner.
At one o'clock the meeting was again
called to order, aud the resolutions pre
pared by the committee were sdopted,
delegates to the union parly, which metis
in Portland today, ;re elected, and an
executive committee appointed. None of
the details for uniting the several laetions
were agreed upon. It was, however, the
unanimous sextiincnt of all who spoke,
that union be effected.
A. L. McFadden announced that in
Benton county, the populist piimarics,
under the new system, were already under
way, aud if the union patty did not soon
auneuuee its plan of action and begin
immediate organization, the populist
ticket would be in the field belore the
unionists would assume shape, and it
would be extremely awkward, to say the
least, to then arrange a satisfactory fusion.
N. L. Raber and Eugei.e Palmer denied
that they were "Silver republicans," say.
iug that there existed no such party. Vr.
Palmer asked the convention, "What am
I?" but he was told thvt the answer could
not be made until tue proposed pariy is
named.

supposed to sympathise with the move

NOTES,
- Tue leaders of the different parlies that
are tryi" to combine, are yet at sea as to
the basis on which they will unite. The
biggest rock in the way is the parcelling
out of the offices.
The name is bothering some of the in
terested ones. Many of the populists
think that their name, standing for origi
nal reform, is good enough for any real
reformer. They say that a new canned
party will not be associated with any na
tional organization, and that this, in itself
is an element of weakness iu practical
politics.
It is hardly likely that the democratic
contingent will be satisfied with anything
else tha the following offices: Sheriff,
clerk, judge, aosaisor and treasurer,
On the last fusion deal in this county
the democratic candidates were success
f Hi, while the populists were defeated
with the exception of Johi Whitaker,
who was elected representative by a very
small plurality, and that by republican
votes. .

The Banks Have Money.
The recent statements of the national
banks of Oregsn show that there is com
paratively little demand for money. Na
tional banks, except those designated as
depositories for U. S. funds, not only re
quired to keep in hand or with approved
reserve agents, 15 per cent of the depos
its, or for every $ 100,000 of deposits,
there mast be $1,5000 cash iu the bank,
or where it can be immediately had.
The baik statements for December 15th
show that the majority of northwest na
tional banks have in cash or with tther
banks from 50 to 100 per cent of their
deposits. This state of affairs is not so
profitable for the banker, but it proves
the banks to be solid beyond suspicion.
