These art) of great importance to tho tax-paying part of the voter as well a laboring men all over tho state. While 1 believe the republican party i capahh) of doing nil that is necessary for the pcOplo if it will, it seems disposed to reject some of these measures; ami if the county ami state, convention sen lit to ig noro these vital issues, sonio other more progressive party will tako them up and will eventually sue cecd. For my own part t do not propose to vole for any candidate for tho legislature who will not pub licly promise, if elected, to support theso meiisiii't'S.

A Portland gentleman has lesed ground for an extensive xi'clsior mill a short distance from the Standard Mills build ing. The lease was obtained from the owner of the Standard mill nml ground, ami the ttower for the xcclsiorniill will be furnished from the Standard Mill building. About twenty-live men will l' employed in the new mills at the start, but thi number will no doubt be in- reasetl. The furniture factory now employs n largo force of men. A hotel, so it i stated, is to lie put up, in view of these manufacturing enterprises, nml Milwaukio, which like Rip Van Winkle, has taken n long sleep, may iinldouly awaken to new life.

The Oregonian says of him: Cap tain Thomas cnnie to this coast in the year IS'iO, and for a short tinio resitled in Portland, when ho re moved to Oregon City with his family where they resided for twenty-five years. During that period he wn sheriff of Clackamas county, mid hold other position of trust ami responsibility, t'lltccn year ago ho and hi family removed to Fast Portland, whom he, hi wife and part of his family have resitled over since. Hearing the bad things others say about him does not convince a man that ho has faults so much as it proves to him that others are liars. Cotitrart HIkiiciI Tor (lie IViiniiei K. I'. Nml M.
