Our friends at upper town are behind

prosperous.
"Walter Koyes, of upper town, had a
bad fall at the skating rink last night,
and Eustained a severe sprain of the right
wrist, narrowly escaping a fracture of
the bone. Ho received immediate med

comfortable as the circumstances per
mitted. The Salem Yidctle is making a scatter
ing sort of anti-monopoly fight this fall.
It has a splendid subject and one that
could bo made popular, bntit makes
such a mess of the whole business as to
forbid anything like assistance. The

fool or a rogue is considered argument.
Arrangements have been made forEev.
Mr. Henry of Portland, to deliver a lec

proceeds to improvements on the church.
It is astonishing what an appetite a
moth has, and how many square inohes
of a $G0 overcoat he can get away with
in one short summer. They don't make
any noise about it, but as soon as spring
opens, and it becomes warm, their appe
tite reminds them that they have been
lying quiet for some time, and so they go
to work to eat enough to last all winter.
"When fall comes again and you take your

"W. F. McGgregor returned from Clat

a neat monument on the grave of Andrew
Bell, an estimable resident of upper
town who was accidentally drowned on
the 3rd of last August. The monument
is a beautiful one, and of ornate design.
It was subscribed by Livingstone Lodge,
No. 473, 1. O. G. T., of which the deceased
was in life a member, and Astoria Lodge,
No. 40 1. O. G. T., and is a substantial
token of remembrance and regret from
his fellow Good Templars.
"When it goes out to the world that
there are "dull times" in Oregon it should
also be stated that in these "dull times"
there is more activity in railroad build

in any other section of the Union. The
O. E. & N. and Oregon Short Line are
pushing things to make railroad connec
tion between union 1'acihc points and
the Columbia river. Down at Yaquina
they are crowding ahead with all possi
ble speed to make completed track be
tween Yaquina and Corvallis. The gen
eral stagnation affects Oregon in common
with her sister states, but it may fairly
be asked: ""What other state to-day makes
a better showing in the face of these
'dull times' or has a brighter prospect in
the immediate future?"

An Enthusiastic Republican 3!ectln? LaU
SJ;Iit.
Long before the hour of assembling a
large and enthusiastic crowd congregated
in front of the Blaine and Logan Club's
wigwam, and as dispatch after dispatch
was received the crowd increased, until
at eight o'clock standing room only was
to bo had. In ten minutes after the
crowd extended far out onto the side
walk. Dispatches were received indicat
ing flattering returns from Ohio. "West
Virginia here telegraphed Republican
gains up to the latest returns. The re
ports were received with enthusiastic
cheers.
After the transaction of routine busi
ness the chair announced, after the car
rying of the motion, that the club would
go to "Westport on Saturday afternoon
raik on snixc
The chair then introduced Hon. C. W.
Fulton as orator for the evening. After
a humorous introduction. Mr. Fulton
called attention to the importance of the
present campaign, the selection by a na
tion of 55,000,000 of people of a chief ex
ecutive. The personal character of the
candidate, the speaker claimed was not
of so much importance as his political
record. Viewed in a business light, the
voter should weigh in his mind what the
prospects were from each party mid what
was best for the people and their in
terests were national was what was best
for the individual. Comparing th. two
great parties, as a plam business like
proposition. Mr. Fulton claimed suprem
acy for the Republican party. Here a
dispatch was received from Ohio, import
ing increased Republican gains. Mr.
Fulton continued with tlm statement
that Democrats hop?d for victory and
based their claim in th virtue of a
charge in
Tin: nu!(iNi:;ii i-owja:.
though, at the same time, thuv did
not promise any good from" the
proposed charge. Touching on l he tariff,
the speaker claimed that it was the
straight issue of the campaign, the qaes-
iiou ueiweeu me two parties. The duty
of every government was the protection
of its citizens in thoir person:-l and busi
ness rights. The Democratic party vir
tually says: "Every man for himself,
without protection and tho d 1 tak- the
hindmost."' Mr. Fulton cited, quoting
official records in support of his state
ments, the record of the Republican par
ty as allied with national prosperity in
connection with progression, as against
Democratic free trade and consequent
ruin, panic, poverty and low wages.
The speaker brought the protective is
sue down to local questions, logically sus
taining Republican policy in the matter.
He compared English and other Euro
pean pauper labor with American labor,
predicting, beyond the power of denial or
dispute, the inevitable result equal
degradation of American labor in the
event of Democratic victor. The public
school system of the country, supjwrted
and born
UY KEi'lTBIJCAN I'JUCV,
was recommended to tho intelligent voters
of the country. Mr. Fulton appealed to
all voters to prevent, by voting for Re
publican nominees, the possibility ol
competition between European pauper
labor and American labor. The import
ance of this question was not con lined to
a few; it affected every laborer, artisan,
merchant and citizen in the community.
Tho decadence of the navy was directly
attributable to the possibility of English
cheap pauper l?bor and the inability of
American Jabor to compste with it.
The remedy was obvious protection of
American labor, the protection offered by
the Republican party. Tho Democratic
cry of fraud was a hollow claim, the
sworn records of the country
showing nothing but purity and honest
patriotism for the Republican party.
Comparing Democratic nnd Republican
administrations, as shown by oflicial rec
ords, the speaker plainly presented mon
etary frauds on the part of Democrats.
The returns of the country's receipts, by
official record, show a saving of a thous
and to one in favor of the Republican
party, as against the cry for "a change"
made by tho Democracy. Mr. Fulton
appealed to tho common sense of all
holders of suffiagas to condemn the in
famous doctrines and
BECOBD3 OF THE DEMOCRACY
and to support their best interests in up
holding Republican principles. He ar
raigned Democracy as representing
dishonesty and corruption, against
Republicanism representing progress,
prosperity and honesty, and appealed to
all listeners and all patriotic citizens to
support the Republican ticket. Mr. Ful
ton closed amid loud applause, ami after
the tender of a vote of thanks to the
speaker and cheers for the Republican
candidates tho meeting adjourned.
Mr. Fulton's address was Iitened to
with close attention throughout and was
warmly received and approved.
After the meeting had adjourned, the
Blaine and Logan club met in adjourned
meeting and appointed a committee,
consisting of J. if. D. Gray, A. Montgom
ery and C. W. Fulton to make arrange
ments for a demonstration in the last
days of the presidential campaign.
THE AXXUAL JOKE.
The following is from the Orcgunian.
It is a report of that portion of the pro
ceedings of the Board of Trade of Port
land relating to the matter of pilots and
pilot comissieners:
The matter of tho election of a pilot
commissiouer'camo up for consideration.
Mr. Laidlaw said thero was no use in
electing a pilot commissioner. Our law
was totally inoperative. There, is not a
single Oregon pilot on tho bar. All the
pilots are employed by the tugs and are
charging "Washington territory prices,
but the idea that the pilot charged these
rates was merely figurative, as he docs
not get them. Parties here interested in
the tug get them. He would movo that
the" navigation committee be instructed
to look into the matter and see whether
the Oregon law cannot bo put in force on
the bar.
Mr. Dodd said tho law was framed by
the board. It all hinged on one little
vessel, tho .. C. Cousins. ThG law grant
ed her peculiar privileges. She was lost,
and the moment she was gone our law
went with her. We cannot send out a
pilot to-day. He cannot'go on the tug
and thero is no vessel to take him.
Therefore the "Washington territory man
comes in under his law and charges $8 or
10. Thero is no way to fix the matter
except to make the pilot commissioners
collectors of pilotage. "Wo mast have a
new law at the nest meeting of the legis
lature. The motion of Mr. Laidlaw was put
and carried.
After some discussion as to the advisi
bility of electing a pilot commission, it
was agreed to proceed with the election,
and Capt. Nathaniel Ingersoll was unan
imously elected for a term of three years.

THE LUMBERING BUSINESS.
The lumbering business has shown
marked improvement during tho past
two weeks. All of the large saw mills on
Puget Sound commenced to run on full
time on the 1st inst. This was done, we
ore told, from the increased demand
from foreign countries, there being an
unusual number of vessels on the way t&
load, .nnd also from the increased demand
in California. "Whether this slate of
things will last long it is impossible now
to tell. If this demand should continue,
it is uncertain whether logs could bo ob
tained to keep the mills running until"
next spring. The mill owners claim that
they have sufficient logs to last them un
til the 1st of January. But this is doubt
ful. All tho little camps are closed
down, and not many of them liko to
start up at this rainy season of tho year.
The mill companies' camps, although
large ones, will not bo sufficient alone.
Very high prices for logs will bo the only
inducement for many small camp3 to
start this winter. Tho price of logs is
better than it has been for some time
past, and now rules from 5 to 5.50 per
1,000 feet, whilo not long ago it was as
low as 3 to 3.50. At tho figures now
ruling, however, there is just as great a
profit to loggers as last year when the
prices ruled from 7 to 7.50, because of
tho lower price of supplies and wages.
From tho indications, it is probable that
the price of log3 will bo higher before
spring. With more logging, the better
the times on Puget Sound. Olympia

'BIE, BABY BCSTI5G V
Helplesi Infants Weighted With the Great
Political Names of Blaine. Bntler and
Cleveland.
"While James G. Blaine was in New
York this telegram from Cleveland, Ohio,
was handed him in the Fifth Avenuo
Hetel:
It Is a boy and we have named It for vou.
J. Q. JlEAL.
"That is the seventeenth child that Iina
been named for Mr. Blaine," said Post
master .Manly, as ho peeped in Mr. El
kin's safe in a vain search for a ten-dol
lar note to send Mr. Beal, that being tho
market price of namesakes at present,
the supply being fully equal to the de
mand. "Steve, where's the wealth?" asked the
perambulating postmaster.
"I spent the last quarter for breakfast
this morning," replied Mr. Elkins:
"You'll have to tackle the old man."
The matter was compromised by Mr.
Blaine sending the child a copy of his
new book.
Later in the dav a good-sized baby
was wheeled to the Fifth Avenuo Hotel.
Its mother asked to see the big candi
date, and she ushered the little one into
the magnetic presence.
"I have called to dedicate my boy to
you," said the mother. " We first named
liim for O'Donovan Rossa and sent him
word, but he never acknowledged it, so
we decided last night to namo him for
you. My husband wanted him called
Graver Cleveland Pepper, as Mr. Cleve
land gives 20, but I'd sooner let you
have it for 10."
Mr. Blaine's gray face turned scarlet,
both at tho compliment, and at the
thought that at that moment he happen
ed not to havo the required sum. "Waikor,
verv unluckily for himself, dropped in at
that moment and relieved his father of
his mental distress.
Ben Butler's price for namesake honors
was also fixed. A Newark mother sent
the people's candidato oflicial notico that
little Benjamin Butler Holmes lived in
the rear of No. G3, Fcrrv street, N. J.
She awaited the return mail with great
expectancy, and spent many pleasant
hours in thinking how she would dispose
of her financial surplus. She was more
surprised than pleased when the follow
ing letter dropped from the envelepe:
2'o -Vrs. A. Holme, Xo.fo Ferry St , IVeic-
arl;, X. J.
My Dkai: Lady: I received your not?
just as 1 was starting for the train, and,
therefore. I enclose my autograph for your
thoughtful court esyaml compliment In nam
ing vonr boy lor me. J here is, however, one
tliln-z yu h!i ild think of. When you name
votif child fur a llvins man you take the
i isk that lie nriy go astray. I will endeavor
so to live that that risk in your case will be
nothing. Youis faithfu ly,
15KXJA31IX F.BCTI.KK.
Mr. Holmes found a cold dinner await
ing him on his return from work. On
his plate lay General Butler's note. The
cause of it all was squalling from a cradle
under the table.
"Ho didn't even send the child a bot
tle," said Mrs. Holme3, tearfully.
"I shall sne him for trying to obtain
the Presidency under false pretences,"
howled the father.
Tho babe stoj ped crying to hear the
discussion that followed.
"Mrs. Hoffman got 20 for naming her
child for Governor Cleveland'" sobbed
Mrs. Holmes.
"It's worth more than that," replied
Mr. Holmes, "but to think that Ben But
ler only sent us an autograph and a
promise to lead a better lifo."
One of tho children bsgan to sing to
little Benjamin:
Bye, Baby Bunting.
"Stop that!" cried the outraged parents,
"don't ever mention Ben Butler or his
monopolistic bunting factory again."
Mr. Cleveland's 20 bid for namesakes
has had the effect of increasing his mail
fully 10 per cent, and the name of Grover
C. So-and-So will adorn signs and door
plates in many towns in days to come.
"There'sone consolat ion," said the ban
ner mother of Chrystie street, "my little
Grover and Grovernia are bound to be
better than the man they are named
nftcr."
"Yes," said her husband, "nnd we can
feel safe about the governor's future. He
can't be any worse than ho has been."
"And those two 20-bills will help us
nicely through the winter. "We can afford
to go to the theater and play policy in
big money."
Belva Lockwood has yet to hear of her
name being used by the mothers of the
republic, but there are many j-oung St.
Johns in Kansas.
"It would bo a good thing if tho candi
dates would discourage this sort of thing,
said Mr. Elkins. "It takes good money
out of the campaign funds and doesn't
make a vote. And the candidates run as
much risk as tho boys named after them.
I reckon it won't bo very pleasant for Mr.
Cleveland to read in his old age such
items of news as, 'Grover Cleveland
Riggswas hanged in Paris, Ky., yester
day. His last words were, "I hope you
will all live aright so I may meet you in
Heaven.5" Or, 'G. Cleveland Quail, the
terror of Texas, was caught by vigilantes
yesterday nnd lynched.' I tell you, the
candidates are worse off than their name
sakes because of tho largo majority of
namesakes.

Away up in tho waters of the northern
Pacific thero swims what might bo called
the olive of the seas. Tho Indiana call
it tho oolpchan. It is the fattest of all
fish, and from it the oil absolutely drips,
an oleaginous fluid as sweet and limpid
as that which comes from the fruit of
those ugly, dwarfed and rusty looking
trees which give3 so little shade on Medi
terranean coasts. Perhaps some of these
days oolachan oil will go to France and
Italy and come back to us as the best
salad dressing. This fish is so fat that
if a dried specimen is taken, as was
shown at the United States national
museum, all that has to be done is to
light the head of tho oolachan, holding
the tail in the fingers, and it blazes away
like a spermaceti candle, giving light
without smoke or smell. But the oolachan
might be cloying as a constant food,
though explorers of the northwest coast
declare that when fresh it is the sweetest
of all morsels, being the ortolan, the rice
or reed bird fish of the sea. But the
oolachan pales before something called
the "geoduck." This name alone has an
inviting sound. You find the geoduck
principally in Puget Sound and in San
Diego bay, though it is scattered all
along tbe coast from San Francisco to
the north. It might bo a pity to call it
a clam, though it belongs to that humble
family, and unpoetical naturalists call it
Glycimeras cenerosa. "I think," writes
a careful observer, "that its flesh is too-
rich to permit of regular stuinng or gor
mandizing, although I ate quite heartily
of it for several meals, and experienced
no bad or disagreeable sensations after
wards." "When tho geoduck is served it
delights tho eye, for one of thoso hpppy
ichthyophagists who had the good luck to
eat one, sa3'S it looked "like a particularly
plump duck." Let us suppose a huge
soft clam minus the grit, and we will
have an idea of what tho Glycimeris
generosa is. The method of cooking is
to cut off four pounds of the geoduck in
slices, to roll it in meal and fry it. Then
says a gustatory critic, "You have some
thing like scrambled eggs, but with a
flavor of its own." "Why should not the
geoduck be sent to us? If we have given
to the west coast our shad they might re
turn favors by sending us the geoduck
for cultivation. "Wo ought to try and
propagate this prinoe of clams. Ex
