By an oversight, mention was not
made of the appearance of the Jackson
fire company in the parade on July 4th..
The steam engine was decorated ' in a
very handsome manner by Engineer
George Brown, who showed much taste
and skill in the adornment. Mrs. Juker
we' understand furnished the flowers
which were so tastefully displayed on
the handsome engine. Four fine black
horses were attached thereto, and were
driven by Mr. J. Huot. The whole out
fit was made attractive and the engineer
in charge is entitled to credit for the ap
pearance of what went a long way
toward the decorative part of. the cele
bration. On Friday evening after dress parade
company E drew up in line before Lieu
tenant Norton's tent with the intention
of giving an orat'on to their ex 2nd lieu
tenant who was the first man to hold
that position in tli company. Captain j
Gaffney's well prepared oration was
scattered to the four winds, as Colonel
Houghton advanced and presented a
beautiful flag to the company before the
captain had a chance tor a word. Mr.
II. Athelston Morley made the presenta
tion address in behalf of lieutenant Nor
ton. In response to repeated calls
Major Burke made a short address to
the men expressive of his interest and
pleasure at their manly deportment dur
ing the week. The boys, not to be out
done even by the unexpected, made up
for the loss of their speech in rousing
cheera for lieutenant Norton and major
Burke. The flag, which is a very hand
some one of dark blue eilk embroidered
in gold, was a joint presentation from
Lieut. Norton and W. O. Bently. Cer
tainly the boys deserved the honor con
ferred on them, for there were no better
behaved men in the camp than the three
cowboy companies from Fossil, Condon,
and Joseph.
V The Oregon Htate fair. ,
The prospects for a good State Fair
were never so flattering as they are this
year.' The Premium List has been re
vised, and in many important ' points I
the prizes have been increased. The
entries in the Speed Department are the
largest and best in the history of the
Fair. The State Fair is under the man
agement of the State Board of Agricul
ture, and over $15,000 in cash is offered
in premiums for exhibits of stock, poul
try, agricultural . products, fruit, etc.,
works of art and fancy work, and for
trials of speed. The Board is making
every preparation for a great meeting.
.Many valuable improvements have been
made, and the grounds have been cleared
up and greatly beautified. Electric and
horse-car lines now run from Salem., to
the grounds. All persons wishing ' a
Premium List for the Fair of 1891, can
obtain it by abdressing J. T. Gregg, the
Secretary, at Portland, Oregon, or Gso.
"W. Watt, Assistant Secretary, at Salem.
The Fair begins on the 14th of Septem

j fully understand each other ; we have a
common interest to serve and 1 trusl
we will be able
to work in the strictest
harmony.
The lest possible government for the
least possible cost should be our aim;
there are many things pertaining to the
city government that 1 am not now
familiar with but in respect to -which I
shall take occasion hereafter and in the
near future to call your attention.
The greatest care must be exercised
by us in the management of the city's
finances, and this part of our work must
receive our most careful thought. I am
advised that the-city's income is at pres
ent less than its expenses ; these condi
tions inevitably lead to an empty treas
ury and a depreciated credit and ulti
mately to the greatest embarassment ;
necessary expenditures must be made
and are always right and proper but
lavish expenditures and an inconsider
ate use of the people's money are to be
deprecated and must be avoided.
Ever be careful of the trust to you
committed and vour duty then, and not
until then, will be performed.
Robert Mays,
Mayor.

The - K-
Encampment at Eugene.
Roberts of this city, has
Mr. D. H
just returned from Eugene where he has
heen attending the encampment of the
2d regiment which has jutt adjourned.
Mr. Roberts is a member of C company
of Eugene, and reports having had a
pleasant and profitable time. .
The regiment was commanded by Col.
Lovell, who has proven himself a pop
ular and well loved commander. As the
regiment was on dress parade an officer
of the line stepped up to Col. Lovell
and in a few well chosen words presented
him with a gold watch costing $150, the
gift of the officers and men. It was a
testimonial of love, for no man was al
lowed to give hilt a small amount so that
all could feel they had right in the pres
ent and every man in the regiment : was
a contributor. There were ten compan
ies in the command and all were pleased
with the encampment.
The regiment went into camp on June
27th and broke camp on the 5th instant,
The gallant second participated in a
sham battle on July 4th which was
alike pleasing to all who participated
therein and the spectators. .
New Iellvery Wagon.
Our enterprising young grocers, Chris
man & Corson, have come out with a
handsome new delivery wagon. It was
purchased through Filloon Brothers, of
this city, and is a beauty. The body is
like the Chronicle "well read" while
the running gear is yellow. The name
of the firm in gilt letters is placed on
both sides and altogether it is a very
natty and handsome rig. We congratu
late Chrisman & Corson - on ' their ex
cellent taste.

McGiunis set his evil eye on the :lad.,, I
was forced to pass his den on my way to
an' fra the bread store, an' he minded
't was mesel' hated the uncanny look o'
the place. An' one morn as I passet by,
he said 1 needn't be so gran' aboot me
b'y, he was no above ta'e a snp o' the
liquor wi' the rest o' an e'en. I begged
me childt for the love o' God to let the

pray for the bone o' her bone, an' the

an' me Robbie swayed into the room an'
fell at me feet he was dhrunk, yer

clenched hand as she added with vehe
mence: "They telled me, an' I could prove

As the threatening voice stilled, the
woman was pronounced discharged, and
after his re-appearonce in court, McGin
nis was lodged in the county jail on a
charge of having willfnlly sold or given
intoxicating drink to a minor. His com
rades declared the evidence on which he
was convicted to have been illegal and
uncertain.
Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, re

them of divers diseases." Said he:
"My dying congregation, this is a terri

smallpox slays its hundreds, the cholera
its thousands, and the yellow fever its
tens of thousands, but, in the language
of the text, if you take the divers you
are gone. These earthly doctors can cure
the small pox. cholera, and yellow fever.
