of Crook aud Kalmath,. send one

'in the Convention, and that the number
of delegates allotted to the counties of
Wasco and Lake, from which these coun-

i The Committee recommend that the
primaries be held on April 5, and the
County Convention on Vpril 11;- subject
' however, to the approval of the various
Ccriilr Cnmittea
SjCrrtirTiy
The committee deem it fitting to pre
sent to the Democratic voters of the
Stat the following-onsiderations:
We see ap.proa'jhing ivn ejep tiojo ot
-.ot:vitat import to our corite.jcnwa:th
in til iU intcrrstx, both public and pri
vate. Deeming honesty the best policy, and j
in striking contrast with the course of j
the opposing party, we have named an
early day for the assembling ofthe State
Convention. Our principles rs a party
wiltthen be enunciated and .our rcndj
i'At2Z placed in the field subjectto the
approval or condemnation of tht body
politic.
The variance in tho yqte ofj this State
during tlis past few year?, and especiallj
the very close contest in the Presidential
election of 1880, gives us muchhope
that, notwithstanding our present mi
nority, with harmony in our ranks, nd
a well directed exertion of our strength,
we shall carry o3 the palm of victory,
But to assur this end it is imperative that
all Democrats should contribute their un
divided support and hearty co-operation,
not only in the actual canvas, but from
its very initiation th county primaries.
We do not presume to trespass upon the
province of ourjxpular Convention, but
do earnestly invoke all members of. our
party. to p.ut asid past; differences nd
personal ?ntagonisms, to unite in har
monious action in the various primaries,
and to send full delegations of represen
tative men to attend the State Con yen
tion. We have deemed it fitting. 0
reduoe the number of delegate in the
hope of securing th personal attend
ance of those to be chosen. Wa s-
pecially recommend the formation of lo
cal clubs, where practicable, throughout
the Sta:e.
Believing that the success cf the De
mocracy is the welfare of the people, we
cordially invite all persons, regardless of
past political affiliation!, who favor sim
plicity, economy and frugality in the ad
ministration of public affairs, to unite
with us.

Reception of Sirs. ..H,. . Lcavitt
in Portlam!.
There was a yerj large ascmblaiat
the Taylor Street,.!!. E. church Ia6ttii
day night, the occasion being the Vficep
tion tendered to Mrs. M.jC. Leal it t of
Boston. The platform wavbeeupied
Mrs. Leavitt, Mrs. Riggs, the president
of the Portland W. C. T. U., Mrs.
Hine.s, the president of thetslate W. C.
T. U., and Mrs. M. E. Stubb.v, of the
Seaman's bethel work, Mrs. Riggs pre
siding. Rev. G. W. Izer, pastor of the church
read an appropriate Felection of scrip
ture and prayt-r was offered by Chaplain
R. S. Stubbs, of tho Mariners' home.
An antheiu Mas sung, the words eing
by Rev. J. E. Rankin, D. D., and music
by BischotF, entitled " For God, Hooie
and Native Land." Mrs. H. K. Ilines5
then made the opening address of wel
come to Mrs. Leavitt on behalf of the
sta'e of Oregon. She spoke of Miss
Willard'a work in this state and how we
all loved her for her own self and for thjy
grand . impetus she gave to the struggling
work ii) this state. How glad we felt
when uhe came, and how much she
strengthened our cause here we have no
words to telL Now we have another
visitor to give us another upward lift.
The fame of her good works has already
preceeded her and we have reason to ex
pect great things from the yix.it of . our
guest thii evening. Mrs. Hints we r.f on
to describe the work Mrs. Leavitt had
been engaged in at the east and the suc
cess of her recent work in California,
She had great hopes of the good results
fron her labors in the wide and hopeful
field of labor in the Pacific northwest,
to which she was cordially welcomed.
The antfcenj;,. "..Watch and Pray" was
was then admirably sung by Mrs. J. A.
Child.
The young ladies' welcome was made
by MiSi;Eva Shane, ,which was admira
bly rendered and wus a beautiful and
touching tribute to the distinguished
lady from a beautiful young lady on be
half of her associates.
The song, " Oh, the Clouds oi Intem
perance. Are. Passing Away," .was fcung
a? a nolo in an effective manner.
"The welcome by the Band of Hope was
then made by Mrs. M. E. Stubbs. That
lady give a review of the bethel work in
general, and the evangelistic work of the
stale whiidi is also un,der the charge of
Mrs. Stubbs, trv.r spoke of the
Bethel Band of Hope, giving many in
teresting and incouruging instances.
M rs. E. W. Allen, the superintendent
of the work of cemperance among the
Suncay schools, made an address in be
half of the Sunday schools. ,;fjhe made.
some very excellent points, among which f
may be mentioned that she said Mrs.
Leavitt did not come here in the inter
est of politics or for personal agarandize
ment or to drive golden spikes. For
such visitors we usually put on our best
robe and decorate our street with ban-J
ners and illuminations but wo here to
night meet a plain woman, and to her
we open tho secrets of our hearts and
and tell her of the deadly, vice that is
sapping our life, killing our yot'ng men.
and destroying the peaco and hope of
our families. She spoke of the hopes for
the youth in our sabbath schools and
the impoitauce of instilling into their
minds the hatred of the vice of strong
drink. The boy of tQ-day is the.comingi
man and it was of vast . importance that
he be educated to right principles
The "White Ribbon Sorg" was then
sung by the choir.
In a few well chosen jr.'fttal-S .Mrs..
Riggs spoke of the guest of the evening! j
and among other things said that Mrs.
LfciVett..was at the head of a family and
her power and influence had been felt in
the home where she had trained up to
usefulness and distinction a larp"? family
of ch'ldrcn. She tlnm introduced the-1,
lady to the audience.
Mrs. Leavitt came forward and in a
very pleasing manner made her response
to the addresses of welcome which had
been tendered her by the various speak
ers. She took up the. .remarks in order.
She first made a good r.aturert criticism
on the fact that the,, addresses had been
made by ladies. Sho liked to have the
gentlemen engaged with W. C. T. U.
The Rev. Mr. Izer in his reading had
selected that portion of scripture thac
told the story of, Deborah goirg out to
battle because Bafak would not go. In
this work of the W. C. T. U. we had
none forth to battle because Barak stood
back and dared lijot take up. the work.
The lady then went on to state her great
interest in the state work as portrayed
by Mrs. Hine.s, the seaman's work and
Band of Hope, as given by Mrs. Stubbs,
and the Sunday school work, as, repre
sented. by Mrs. Allen, but she was par
ticularly struck with the young ladies,
with whom Miss Shane is the organ.
She gave some practical suggestions to
the young ladies.,... She had taught Jier
own girls not to receive the attentions
of any young man who was not willing
to take the total abstinence' pledge and
keep it,.
Mm. Leavitt is a lady of fine appear
ance, above the medium hight, dark hair
tinged. with grey, and is probably about
fifty years of ag She ha a fine, pleas
Pnt countenance and .a good, matronly
J pV '4 distinctly' with
no effort at. oratorical effect and in punV
good Fngliih and well chosen language.
She is e vidently a refined, and cultured
woman, and belongs to a prominent and
wealihy family at Boston. She was
placed at a decided disadvantage last
night in replying offhand to addresses
made on the moment and compelled to
think cm her feet. It was not like an
address prepared before hand.
At thcclosc of her address tho Band
of Hoprffsong was sung by si little girls
Rev. T. L.. Eliot then, pade a few re
marks and a collectiori was taken amount
ing to $22.
Mrs. M. H. Cart wright was present

My 'Dear Uxclk Geo. I will try to
tell you something about this country
here where I am. , We are about in the
center of the Territory East and West
upon the Arkansas River and in the O
sage Reservation. The country upon
one side of Jthe river i high bluffs with
out.timber and upc'H the oth.er .side, the
land is level back for a mile or more;
this is called the rich river bottom. The
bottom for about of ra mile is timbered
and then the rest of the of a rilile fin
open grass land. A mile from the river
you come to small bluffs well-timbered
which run back for spme miles then the
open prairie. The so:1, is very rich and we
have a ine quality of water from springs.
The way to get a cattle ranch here is
this, you have to get the right froni the
Indian Council which often costs from
$3000 to $5000 to work the Bill through
the Council. Your leasxj runs from 5 to
10 years as the case may be; the rent is
from 2 to 3 cents an acre. We ais on
a ranch of 9G,000 acres which is land
enough for 12,000 her,d. of cattle. We
do but very little winter feeding. There
are now 1800 Osage Indians; they are
the richest and worst Indians in the
Territory. This is the headquarters for
the far-famed, cpwbpy. A great many
cattle here have been lost this Y-inter.
I think the stockmen will try and put
up more hay this coming season. A great
many people think that before long,
part of this Territory will be opened
up for settlement. I know there i 20
times more land here than the Indians
will ever use. AU of the ranches are
under fence so that the work of 'tend
ing the cattle in much less than, it iscd
to be. We have plenty of game, deer,
wild turkey Jfcc. The weather is quite
warm now and I expect in summer it
will be very warm. I have ree'd the
papers you sent me tor which I thank
you very much, and now hoping to hear
from you son I rcmaiu your afFct' nephew-,

Gunning in New Hampshire,
We often see gunner. in the bay at
this time of the year ; one day we saw
two men get some geese. They have a
little boat, and oh it they put ice Jtc. so
it will look like floating ice, then they
both lio down, one in one end of the. boat
and the other in tho other end ; the one
in the stern of the boat sculls with a'
paddle and the other shoots. C:ie day
they were sculling up to some birds in
front of our house, the first time they
sljot they Icilletl twe or three I think,
and wounded some; then they got down
in their loat again and got another one,
one was wincr broken I guess, or hurt
somewhere, but he could run, co he
tried to get away on the ice, but they
shut at him and killed him, and one man
got out on the ice and picked him up.
Albert and I were watching them, a? soon
as the fellow got his goose I waved my
shawl and tie waved his goose. We
thought they did pjetty well to jst so
many, but it is nothing new for them.
They have a house on Footman's island
and come and stop a while and go fish-f
ing, etc.

"when I contemplate the present facili

Being asked what made it appear partic

it took hve 01 six-months et steady plod

defiles and over hills and streams to ar

sends passengers to the Mississippi V al
