Monday night last to escape from their

Capt. Pratt was illustrating last even
ing how unanimously the democrats in
his Salem precinct turn out, to vote at
the republican primaries.""; In his prim

for -mayor. These were, 79 democratic
and eighty republican. At the last re
publican primary election 134 votes were
cast; this-left but twenty-five democrats
in the precinct, but,, says Capt. Pratt,
"the full seventy-five turned out when
the democrats held their meeting.?'
Last evening Mr. Geo. A. Young of
Bake Oven, and Capt. Pratt, of Salem,
met for ' the first time in many long
years, and had a real good old time chat
in the Umatilla house. They were of
those who, in 1857, built the first woolen
mills in Oregon, the Pioneer, of Salem,
and, when it was dedicated, with a co
tillion party,-the building was illumina
ted with a tallow-dip for every pane of
glass. Mr. Geo. Welch of this city, is
another of those pioneer workers, but he
was absent last evening. Had . he been
present, perhaps Thb Chronicle might
be able to say today that all of that
company of 1857, now living, were in

New Potatoes.
The 12th of April is early for new
potatoes in this latitude, yet the family
of J.N. Smith, who live a mile from
town, on what is known- as the old
Doherty place, ate their first meal of
new potatoes yesterday. "They were
about the size of hen's eggs, and one of
the boys who gathered himself around
half a dozen of them, smaked his lips
at the recollection as he said : "They
were good," with marked emphasis on
the were. Now ye benighted citizens of
the efete East, who yet sit shivering
around winter fires, while' snow and
frost fill the landscape without, what
think ye of new potatoes on tbe 12th of
April, grown in the best country on the
footstool of the Almighty?

Letter from Mr. Thomas It. Coon.
The - two following letters explain
themselves.. The Chronicle, from its
own personal knowledge confirms the
opinion of Mr. McCorkle. Mr. Coon is a
gentleman of fine educational and busi
ness capacity, and ability, a true man in
every sense of the term, and one whose
reputation for honesty -and probity, is as
broad as the circle of his acquaintance.
We can pay him no higher ' tribute than
to say that he will get his largest vote
where he is best known. -'
Tygh Valley Mills', April 11th.
Friend Qourlay, The Dalles:
The enclosed letter of Mr. Coon came
honestly into my hands, on mv triD to
the state convention, with the privilege
of using it, or any part of it,- for publican
tion or otherwise. ' There is evidence
that Mr. Coon has ability, and that he is
all right for an open river. Please notice
he endorses all the resolutions adopted
at the county convention. It is now
yours. '..-' .
Yours truly for an -open river and the
republican state and countv ticket. . It
is a strong one. : W. M. McCorkle.
Hood River, Or., April 4, 1892. -To
the combined delegation to the Re
. publican State Convention from Wasco,
Sherman and Gillam counties.
Gentlemen : Inasmuch as my name
is likely to come before you as a candi
date upon the legislative ticket, and
sinceby reason of sickness in my fam
ily, I shall probably be unable to attend
the convention, J-have thought ' that
some statementsTfrotn me would s be
proper.' . '- X .
I should be glad to meetT you face -to
face and to discuss with you those ques
tions which you must take into account,
in naming such parties oh the legisla
tive ticket as will be acceptable to the
people in the coming election.
I will say to you in the first place that
nobody owes mo anything politically. I
am not a politician and have no interests
to promote further than those which
take hold of all thinking men who de
sire the success of whatever is just and
right, and who insist upon things clean
and -practical in politics and legislation.
If I am in the field at all as a candi
date, it is because those who know me
best have desired to recommend me for
your consideration. For this evidence
of the good opinion and confidence of
my neighbors, I trust I am not ungrate
ful. I heartily endorse the various resolu
tions adopted by the county convention
of this county, and in the event of my
nomination and election. I assure you
that every just and proper' measure will
receive my careful consideration and
conscientious vote, and I am eatisfied
that I possess courage sufficient to stand
by the interests of the people, of whom I
am one, all influence to contrary not
withstanding. In conclusion allow me to express the
hope that unity of purpose and harmony
in action will characterize your labors in
the convention and that ours shall be the
victory in June. Yours Very Truly, "
Thos. R. Coon.

An Ingenious Prisoner.
" It is seldom that a convict turns the
hours of his enforced confinement to such
good purpose as an inmate of a Maryland
prison. - His term of . imprisonment is
thirteen years, on a conviction, pf horse
stealing, of which he insists he was in
nocents .By working overtime he has'
earned such sums of money as to enable
bun to purchase books, of which his cell
contains over 200. A short time ago,
when electric light wires were being
placed in the prison, he became inter
ested in electricity and bought some
standard works on the subject. The re
sult was the construction of half a dozen
different electrical appliances, including
a burglar alarm, which he has just com
pleted for the bedroom of the warden of
the prison.
Another result of his industry is a lock
which is so arranged that hammering on
it drives the bolts deeper into their fas-,
tening. He exhibited a model of this
lock to the warden, who was so pleased
with it that it was at once adopted for
use in the prison. Castings for the locks
were made in the prison foundry, a lathe
was set up in the prisoner's cell and he
was relieved of all other tasks so that his
entire time could be devoted to the man
ufacture. of his locks, with which in a
short time ' all -the dormitories of the
prison will be provided. Exchange.
Against th Inrarues Company.
A merchant who was a member of a
mutual accident insurance association
was killed, while hunting for recreation,
from an accidental shot. The associa
tion provided for the payment of sums
ranging from $5,000. to. 500, according
to the occupation of the member. Mer
chants' certificates call for $5,000; but
the company paid the beneficiaries of
the man in question only $500, on the
strength of a provision that any member
receiving an injury while engaged tem
porarily in another occupation more
hazardous than the one given in bis cer
tificate, he shall be entitled only to such
sum as provided for in the occupation in
in which he is engaged at the time of
injury. .
The Illinois supreme court held that
the beneficiaries were entitled to the
whole $5,000, as the word "occupation'

Sad Looking Author of a Merrjr Book. "
- One who once set type in a great Eng
lish establishment remembers - the time
. when that most fascinating of nonsense
books, "Alice in Wonderland," was put
into metal from young Dodgeson's manu
script. "As yon' saw the writer, a grave
almost sad looking young man, going in

office about . the proofs, you scarcely
think such melancholy looking author

Spectacles were first used in the latter
