Th usual reduction of forty per cent in the fares will be made to visiting del- egutes by the various transportation companies, and entertainment) will be provided for all who come from without jthe city. This Convention will le by far the -most important ever held by the Associ ation. Upon it will devolve the work of preparing plans for a vigorous cam paign in support of the pending Consti tutional Amendment. Arrangements must le made to present the justice of the Amendment, fairly to the electors, that they may know the whole truth . about the purposes of women who seek recognitioft of their rights as citizenship ; who hold with our revolutionary fathers that representation and taxation should go together, and that every citizen of a country is entitled to a vote in its affairs ; who assert their right to a voice in the laws affecting themselves, their children and their homes ; who claim that, as woman's part in the world is fully as important as man's, she should have equal opportunities with him to do her best and receive V?qual pay for equal Work ; and who see that political rights are necessary to the enjoyment and pro tection of all other rights. Lvt the friends of equal suffrage come promptly forward and make this conven tion a memorable one. " H, A. IjOUGIiart, President Mary E. Combs, Secretary. State Temperance Alliance.

I thought a few items from otlf region might inter est its Many readers, litre they are: Coal Creejc is booming, so are the peo ple, they are preparing for the spring opening getting supplies and fixing up camps. Our principal business man here is John Weist who runs a big wood yard and logging camp. The freshet tore out a portion of his chute but he he has a larg force of men at work and will soon have it lixed. Stanwood, our invincills friend from the hills is on hand; he returned td day from Portland with a force of men for his camp. " Micheals, our rustic r is busy putting in piles.

Look out for him. His royal highness, James is at my fclbow. James is the pet of the fair sex for many miles around; his win ning smile And ceaseless tongue can be found almost anywhere. Jim's a dandy. By the way, his chum Jess has joined the lodge. Hurrah for Jess ! Ktep it up old boy ! Speaking about coons, I see by your paper that one of the inhabitants of Neer City was at Coal Creek for coons. Well, so he was, but as for coons, he did not go far; he took his gun and sooner dog and took a turn around for about a mile and returned, reporting coons scarce. May le some more of the coons will come down and try thnr luck at hunt ing, if so, co ne on, we have got plenty of pork and leiiis down here and do not hav to deptnd upon smelt or freeze out cither.

Gustavus Adolphus thought lie would reseiiib!e !t dryad, and so secretly went out to Broyles' pond tlirt other night, and crept into a hollow tree where he could 6ee but not be seen. He witnessed the many coming and going, and, net a person escaped his eye. He had his eare open too, and listened to every silvery word that df ripped. Two ladies ap proached, and on! said, " How does niy dress set V "Just like a lily on the sta.k," responded her companion. 'How do those little spit curls on the side of my face appear i" "Lnngui.shly beauti ful. See" that tall dark-looking gentle man, lie is just dead gone on you. lIov he walls out hU eyes !" "Do yen think we create a sensation V' "You bet.. See that short fellow with the top of his head like a flit tombstone. Don't he look wishful ? I bet you ge a letter froiH him inside & week with a little "i" and nary ri "t" .crossed, he is in tho l'st stages of admiration." Gustavui Adol phu witnessed these two ladies l-'ave the ice for home. One sung out " Drot the old pond ! my feet are skinned, my curls are straight as a rat's t:il dipped in cream, and I feel as if I had been run throuvh a thrashing machine. That dark-eyed fellow is waiting on that dow dy whose dres sets like a mustard plas ter and whose hair looks like a brush pile just before the time of burning. 1 admire his taste, but condemn his judg ment." Thess two ladies were not all who drew the attention of Gustavus. He saw many youngsters who sat down in a hurried ni inner on the ice, exclaim ing "oh" with puckered mouth and hand' thrown beck ala 1 too late to break the force of the blow. Next lie s-4W some fellows who ran against each otlter and fell on their "helbows" .Vi a:i English man would say. They were badly de moralized, and made up a tre in a hol low stamp, and sit hugging their arms as if the were sick babies and aecretiv cussin" each other with fjkees onr e, noj"h to turn sweet milk. He aw two or three old stiff that stool around and watch 1 everybody as if they exacted a dynac:itc explosion, and took the la dies' wrap on their arms, regulated the time of departure, and acted attendant when the fair made their final light out Gustavus saw one fellow give a girl a sly kiss, as he kept her from up-tting on the ice. It wa so loud, one c!t.'tp ran away thinking tho ic had cracked, and he would be swallowed up in the chasm bf a waterquake. lie. looked back expecting td s-e a regu'.ar sinking and seresmin?, and will wonder all the c'av of his life what that noise was. 0 Gustavus staid till he heard the last gig gle iKea-vay in the distance, then ki :ked hiiiu-ttdf till hn flt war.xi, went home and drevned he wa3 in a warm pUce down below and the devil (printer' dev il) was punching him for copy. He heard another ask him if he would have an ice-cream. He woke, exclaisaing, "I'il take mine warmed over." Vaslioii Island. A correspondent of the Ledjer, of Jan. 14th, says: We urn &t this date eating hu.-kleberrlei picked fresh from the bush es. We have had a constant supply of wild berries for nearly eight months. But the crop of 1883 will soon be among the things of the past, for the crop of 1884, with its bud and blossom, i push ing it from the brnhes. If sxnV! man with experience, money and brains would come hefa and p.ant ah Orchard, and stay with it until it came into bear ing, he would surely be a Itanker, as well a3 a benefactor to the country. All stock on the island, excepting cattle used in logging camp and cows that ara giving milk, are getting their own livir.g. In the garden of our neaK-st neighbor, still stands tho last year's crop of vegetables, such as carrots, beets, cabbage, etc., all sound, and only hatvosted'as wanted for the table. The above statements, the orchard planting excepted, might seem incredible to people living in the same latitude, further east, bill the doubtful ones need only come here to be convinced of their truthfulness. All There Was to It. The following conversation, overheard in the marked by a reporter recentlj', was absolutely all there was to it It is ;iven verbatim: 4Good morning, Mrs. O'Flynn."

Portland may mourn, bit we shall rejoice. Some act as if they Should never Have another dol lar, and fic-s ar.s so long it wouldn't take motVtlun two of them to build a plank ronl the whole length of the coun ty. Such people now as the Muckles feel very s welly, but another season will take the pilf eiit of them.

Joseph intends to go .o the mines in T.fay. We saw many fine photographs of the Walker and Harris families. Mb Dora Copeland is sitting up, but looked quite feeble from her long illness.

She will have to sit standing up. Enoch Shiutaffer will give a Ball on St. Valentine' night at the Masonic Hall. Everything will undoubtedly be first-clas, as Enoch i a rusher in such matters, and understands how to get up a boom Tom Welles will bo one of ihe musi cians at Enoch Shifitafter'a Ball St Val entitle' night Another celebrated mu sician will probably be obtained across the Columbia. Mr. J. Alexander vill be one of the managers at Enoch Shintaffer'a Ball on St Valentine's night The tickets will be $1.50. J. Press Walker reports that T. A. Cloninger will give a ball on St. Valen tine's Day and Washington's Birthday. He just knows how to bring a big crowd, and interest them after Iks get them there. Tom is a splendid entertainer, and a rusher when he starts in. He h.M ac quired dewrvedly a big reputation, and his wife can just take the cake in the matter of splendid cnok rv.

There is ti s a Teachers' Institute here in February so School Superintend ent Quick informs us. Mr. Quick has leen to the Washington County Insti tute where he was Secretary. He re ports there wero somo teachers there from Portland. It is amusing to see the men in this country ski imp up, ccd tie themselves up in a knot, and hug the stove when a little snow comes. Their faces assume a longitude equal to the poles, and they look as crestfallen as a dog with a tin can tied to his tail. " Dr. C. G.
