Keady of Waldport, nominee on
commissioner of LmcPln couii.y;
is probably the only man in
Oregon who keeps a whale in
his front yard. . Keatty is ine
sole owner, though not the proud
owner, ot a wiiaie 1 o m
length, which came some aays
1 piimned on the beach
iitst in front of his house on Al

sea bay. Tne only coiisuiauiun
vrnaAxr h n ft is that as a result of
the monster's visit he will prob
ably have one of the hnest lawns
in T.infnln countv.
TiiA whale, which apparently
Viorl rlied some time before of old
Use, dropsy or excessive weight,
drifted into the moran 01 usca
hnv some time aso. being driven
in by high winds and tides. It
first went ashore on tne 1101 m
beach, just in front of the resi
dence of Captain Nice. It re-
mained there only a aaj 01 su,
however, when it moved tavtacr
up the bay and stranded in front I
of the cannery. A fine oppor-1
tunity to put tip some choice j
Packingtown whale was misseu
nn dprannt of the fact that the
cannery had not yet opened up
for the season.
The whale a train shifted its
quarters, drifting back toward
the mouth ot tfce bay, ana nuai

beach in front ot ft.eaay s piactv
By this time the animal was get

to make matters worse a strong
south wind sbrane up and blew
steadily for three days, carrying
the smelldirectly toward Jveaay s

Today Keady announced that
he had succeeded in burning up
at least 30 feet of his whale, leav-ins-

DpiivPT was the only other
candidate for the honor, and the
Colorado contigent put up a
hard fight to capture the prize.
Howpuer. when the final vote
was taken Portland won out by
a majority of nearly two to one.

The work has long been delayed

Spp.rntfl.rv Hurd. who has been
a tireless worker to accomplish
this great result, and all others
who have labored so ianmuiry
and long towards this end, are
certainly deserving of great
praise and the thanks of the en
tire college, town and state,
Keady has put in most of his
t.imfi trvinff to get rid of his
whale. The animal is too big
to be moved, even if there were
anv nlace to move it to, and it
would take weeks to dig a hole
deep enough and long enough
to bury the carcass in. But the
beach is piled high with thous
ands of cords of driftwood.
Keadv collected several cords
of this and piled the huge logs
on top of and about the whale,
sptt.ino- firp to the mass.' For
26tf ' several days it has been burning , J une.
"The convention was a splen
did success," said Mr. Kline to
day. "There were something
like 300 delegates present, repre
senting all parts of the country.
I was forced to return home in
advance of the rest of the Ore
gon delegation on account of
engagements at home."
