Jones Letter.
Following is a copy of a letter written
by Representative F. N. Jones of Wasco
county, before the election. It explaine
itself:
Sheuar's BumciE, May 26, 1896.
H. A. Leavens, Esq., Cascade Locks, Or.:
Dear Sir : Yours of 5-23 to hand.
In regard to what you eay concerning Mr.
Mitchell, I wish to say that I entered
this campaign absolutely unpledged or
instructed for anyone, and have rather
made a point of that fact, and, whereas,
J do not care at this stage of the game to
go on record as being, pledged, yet I
want to eay that I have nothing but the
most friendly regard for Hon. J. H.
Mitchell, and it has never entered my
head to do anything but support him,
and I certainly expect' to vote for him if
I am sent to Salem, and I can do eo
cheerfully and consistently. Further
more, I have found the majority of the
people in Sherman and Wasco counties
to be with Mr. Mitchell, and I have no
doubt at all about hia re-election.
I do not think Mr. Mitchell personally
doubts my loyalty in the least. His son,
Hiram, was my guest last winter, hav
ing traveled to The Dalles and forty-five
miles from there by stage simply to
spend a few days with me at my ranch.
There are many of our people who do
not know me personally, and I want to
say this for myself : lam a rancher in
Wasco couuty, have been in the sheep
business here the past eight years. I
have been a resident of Oregon for thir
teen years, was born in New York state,
my father having been born in Ohio and
his father in Connecticut. So I am a
pretty good Yankee descendant from a
long line of good Republicans, and, be
ing in the sheep business, you can guess
my ideas on protection.
Very Truly Yours,
(Signed) F. N. Jones.
A Frightful Accident.
Yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock
while assisting in running the steam
wood saw in the rear of P. Basche'a
warehouse, Mr. Kelly Taylor, a young
man about 25 years of age, met with a
frightful accident which will render him
a cripple for life.
He was sawing a stick of wood that
was nearly split in two and iu some un
accountable manner his right hand was
thrown in contact with the rapidly re
volving saw, which severed hia first
finger at the last joint, the second finger
at the second joint and badly lacerated
the other two fingers and thumb.
The unfortunate young man was as
sisted to Dr. O. M. Dodson's office where
the injured hand was dressed. Baker

Hick oil tbe Weather
Rev. Ira B. Hicks, editor of Word and
Work, is beyond question the most ac
curate weather prognoaticator in the
country, seldom making mistakes in hia
forecasts, and it is not amiss to heed hia
prophecies. In the February number of
Word and Work be predicts the laat
half of this month will witness much
unsettled weather, and some heavy
storms will prevail. The month will
close with warm weather, low barometer
and ram turning into snow in the north
nd west. Severe storms will occur in
March and heavy frosts until April
20th.

The Chowder XV mn Fine, and the Cake
Did Not Baa.
The entertainmunygiven by the "men
folks" nt the M.tfT church last night,
was a decidedsuccess. The program
was it verv interesting ono, and held the
audience until nearly 10 o'clock without
it getting impatient. It may be that it
had no spontaneous de6iru to bo in n
hurry to tacklo the cakes, Wur wo prefer
to believe that it was pleaded with the
numbers of the pioowm in its en
tirety. The best rcceiyeilnumber was the trio
by Dr. Lnnnerbyrg, Professor Landers
and Mr. Parratt, entitled "Tho Short
Wife." Professor Landers snug loudly
for a shortvife, Dr. Lanncrburg sung
with as much fervor for a tall wife,
whilo Parrott was so puffed up with
pride nbdut the success of his cake that
'ho.proclalmcd that ho would havo no
wife at all. The high school quartet
sang well, and received and responded
to an encore. Clyde Riddell road a love
letter which ho claimed had been
written to his sister, that was a model of
its kind. Tho recitation of Charles
Campbell was excellent, as was that by
Walter Reavis. The latter is peculiarly
gifted in that line, and his selection of a
subject was well made. We forgot to
mention that "The Short Wife" caused
a vigorous encore, but the trio insisted
"that was all they knew," but Pro
fessor Landers suggested that Dr. Lan
nerburg had a song composed by him
self, and the audience would listen to
nothing else until they heard it. This
was followed by an euphonium solo by
Mr. Guy Miller, whose well-known
ability makes comment unnecessary.
Mr. Georgo E. Stewart gitve a recitation,
choosing for his subject Thackery's
poem, showing Cannto when he rebuked
his courtiers after vainly commanding
the tides to recede. We arrived a trifle
late, only in time to hear the last half of
Rev. Wood's eloquent address of wel
come, but we got there In time be in at
the close, and make everybody glad to
seek the refreshment room. Wo feel
this morning that some of our state
ments last night were a trifle exagger
ated, and are willing to modify them in
a degree to suit any not willing to be
lieve them in their crudo state. Wo nre
moved to make this correction becaUBa
we are led to believe some doubted our
statement about the dog. A solo by Dr.
Lanncrburg completed the program. It
was a very beautiful thing and the audi
ence would not be satisfied until he re
sponded to an encore, .j
On the conpletion of the literacy pro
gram the audience repaired to tiro base
ment, where was an array of goon things
innumerable., The cakes were certainly
aa goqd as if made by tho ladles, even
the angel food was all right, flit least
it agreed with us. Tho feature of the
supper though was the clam chowder
made under the supervisionof Mr. B. F.
Laughlin. There were more than seven
gallons of it, but tho snpply was ex
hausted.
Taken all in all, tho men's social was
a decided success, equaling anything of
the kind given hero ink long time.
Thuuk You.
The ladies of the Good Intent Society
join in expressing their heartfelt thanks
to all concerned in the sociable given by
the gentleman ut the M. E. church last
evening. They appreciate the prompt
ness and willingness with which you re
sponded to their request, and are very
proud of your success. If in the future
they should again call upon you to help
them, they hope that you will attribute
it to the fact that they do not feol cer
tain of being successful without your as
sistance, and they also hope that you
will be just as hearty in your response.
The above acknowledgment in so very
prettily made that for those who took
part we lift our tile and say in the lan
guage of the poet
"Without u Mnile from Hps of beauty won,
Oh! what were man? A world without u hum."
