fthe tide of popular favor in their
behalf.- -"Oregon," he states,
' has the honor of making Sena- '
tor Fairbanks vice president. " '
Mr. Fairbanks was in his head
quarters during the Chicago Con-,
ventioa and had decided not to
accept the , nomination. Buc
when the Oregon delegates, back
ed by the wonderful republican j
victory in June, appeared beiore i
Senator Fairbanks and appealed '
to him to accept the nomination, J
he yielded.
The Peoples' Choice.
Theodore Roosevelt, unaui
?nously nominated for the Presi
dency by the National Republic
an Convention at Chicago on
June 23, 104, is without doubt,
of all men living in the Uuiied
States in these optniug years of
the twentieth cenmrv. the man
best fitted by training and ex
perience for the -hiyh duties of
the office of Chief Executive.
He is the highest living tye of
the youth, the vigor and the
promise of a great country &nd a
great age. He is a man whose
sympathies are as wide as the
Republic, whosecourage. honesty
and vision meet all the emergen
cies, aud the sum of whose quali
ties makes him the type of
twentieth century Ameiicauism.
His impulsiveness is but the frank
decisive habit, that comes to be
the very essence of the character
of a man, in whose make-up;
dishonesty, cowardice and dupa
city have no place.
Theodore Roosevelt was born
in New York, October 27, 1858.
His father was a highly respected
-citizen of New York and his mo
ther is a southern lady from the
state of Georgia. By birth he
unites the sympathies of the north
and the south. By his personal
qualities he has endeared him
self to every patriot in the land
and by experience in public af
fairs he is, above all men, en
titled to the united support for
the presidency of every honest
voter in the land.
Charles Warren Fairbanks was
Taorn on a farm in Union coun
ty, Ohio, and is a few years old
er than President Roosevelt. As
Lincoln and' many other great
Americans, the log cabin was
his hirthp'ace and shelter during
youth. Fr fifteen years his life
was spent on a farm. Ohio
Wesleyan 'College, was his Alma
mater ami later he saw news
paper work in Pittsburg. The
major poitirn of his life has been
spent in legal pioftsin in In
dianapolis.
Mr. Fairoinks' ctll to the
vice-ptesiHeucy came all un
sought and e truest sclictation
I was nfcesarv orioie he hnaJiv

Has Found Girl of his Ohoice.
When Victor Moses appeared I
on the streets Monday morning, j
accompanied by a beautiful young;
stranger everybody began to
look pleased and Vic himself,
had a smile, that with all his!
efforts to look unconcerned, i
wouldn't come off but staid right
there. But Vic says he is not
married, that his cousin from
Arkansas is visiting her relatives
here and that she was being j
"shown" the city. Vic, however,
did say positively that in his' re
cent visit to tie scenes of his
ear i r days, he had found the
gin 01 nis cnoice, and that in
about a year he is going back to
Arkansas again or probably she :
might consent to come out here '
to Oregon before that time.
Mr. Moses is glad indeed to be -
back to Oregon. The thunder
and lightning and hot weather
were too much for him.
Speaking about advancement,
there are parts of Missouri and
Arkansas where anti-bellum con
ditions still exist. People still
live in lo' cabins and whole
families will some times occupy
a single room. The mineral and
agricultural industries are de
veloping rapidly, however, and
the Missonn and Arkansas of to
day are general speaking on a
par with those of the most ad
vanced states. In the vicinity of
Mr. Moses' home the peach crop
was very large, one family ship
ping 28 carloads and one small
town alone shipped 201 carloads
in a single week.

After having lived out almost
the alloted span of life, Wallace
McKibben, weary of existence,
took the short cut into eternity
last Sunday morning by hanging
himself. When members of the
family went to search for him
Sunday morning, a wail of an
guish rent the air as they saw,
hanging before them, the lifeless
form of their father. The deed
was undoubtedly committed in a
fit of insanity. He was a civil
war veteran, aged 59 years and
served in Company C, Eleventh
Minnesota Volunteers.
He was one of the two men se
lected from his company to go
with a like number from several
other companies to destroy a
bridge. They accomplished
their mission and were returning
by rail when the train was thrown
from the track by guerrillas. Mr.
McKibben was rendered insensi
ble in the wreck by concussion of
the brain. Pressure of a fractur
ed portion of the skull caused
brain trouble which later induced
insanity. The aberration was
intermittent, and he hanged him
self in one of these spells.
Will Give a Smoker.
The Corvallis Fire Depart
ment will give a smoker at the
next regular meeting in October.
The committee authorized to
provide cigars, lemonade and
enthusiasm for the occasion are
F. P. Sheasgreen, E. E. Wilson,
and S. I Kline. It is a mild
assertion to say that a good time
is anticipited, for there is no
shadow of a doubt bat it will be
one of the most enjoyable features

Little heed was paid, when
about two months ago. one of
the most prominent citizens ot
