'Oregon State Woman Suffrage Associa
tion will Ik? held in Portland on Tuesday
:and Wednesday, Fhrurary 12th and

rigTits clUl, atltl societies in sympathy
with the suffrage niovtiiient, of whatever
name or order, are earnestly requested
:to send delegate.
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.

Editor or the oLUMfeiAX-St7v Your

est its Many readers, litre they are:
Coal Creejc is booming, so are the peo

camps. Our principal business man here
is John Weist who runs a big wood
yard and logging camp. The freshet

he has a larg force of men at work and

By the way, his chum Jess has joined
the lodge. Hurrah for Jess ! Ktep it

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. I think the Prop, o? Neer

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.

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

Joseph said lie was at his grandfather's
half the time; as he didn't wish to run
up too big a board bill at one pla-.-e !
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.
Jos'e Copeland is a little womanly
thing, as soon as Iter father came iri, the
other day when we wera ther. she
grabbed his hat ti give it a brushing.
She w ipes dishes, brings in wood, and is

He just knows how to bring a big crowd,

We told him she was hot the ljst dan

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
