I agree with you in reference to
the priiuarie and county conven
tion, b t gootl and prognivt'
men Ik) ehiwn at the primario,
antlagiMiil priigreivi'nuaro ticket
Im nominated; and then let the vot
er vote it, laying a"nU their old
grudge and not sacrificing Home of
the hct men on th tickot hecause
of Home old fetid. Let thure he
great care taken in tho nomination
of candidate for Uith hrilnchei" of
tho legislature, ami not pick up any
thing that ntav apply after paying
position are filled. That we want
the ahlcHt iiml niovt irogreivc men
in the legislature i unnuestionahle,
There will he important measure
up for action next eion of the
legislature, among which will he lh
repeal of what is known as tho in
dehteilue clause; the maintain
a nee of tho mortgage tax law; the
cHlahlishinent of tho Australian sys
tem of election, or something siini
larto it; and opposition to the noli
taxable, bond. 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.
It might hn well for tho parly to
remember that this is what is termi'i
tho "off your, and that there in likely
to be a good deal of scratching ami
independent voting nt the June
election. Tho people are doing a
great amount of remljng and think

Says the Sunday Oregonian: The
prospect i of a forwartl movement
in this old classic town are very
n ight. 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.

ness for tho past week is unusually
encouraging. The volume of busi
ness is much larger than in any pre
vious year at this season, and tho
rail linos nro carrying enormous
oast-bound freights. Rank clearings
are larger than usual, and the actual
shrinkage of consumption is con
lined principally to tho few lines af
fected directly by tho mild winter.
Trade in every section of tho coun
try, especially in tho South, is rep
resented as satisfactory, with bettor

For tho week ending Saturday,
March 20.
The temperature and rainfall
have been below tho normal. There
has been little sunshine; generally
partly cloudy or cloudy weather
with high humidity prevailed. Tho
temperature has been above the
freezing jsiint; but a few frosts uro
reported. Light rain were exj
rionced In nil part of tho stuto.
Tho weather condition!! have been
unfavorable to the growth of vege
tation. The soil remains too wet for spring
plowing ami seeding, except in fa
vored lociililits, generally on up
land. The winter wheat crop is general
ly re)rted in gootl condition though
not favorably offcetod as to growth
by the weather. In noun; parts of
Eastern Oregon the winter froze out
tho wlu'at, ami it is now being ro
sowil Grass is growing, though
like the wheat it needs more sun'
shine.
The past wet-k has shown no ma
terial advancement in hud mid
blossoms. Indications jKiint to an
excellent yield of fruit, except
oachc, which wore quite generally
injured by tho cold w inter.
Tho season is very backward.
This may be accounted for by tho
fact of tho unusual heavy snow yet
in tho mountains. When the fhow
fall in the mountain has lieen
heavy the spring is usually late;
cloudy weather prevails and show
ers extend into tho late spring and
early summer. The season is now
four weeks later than it was in ISS'.I.
