Con siderable interest is being taken iu the approaching court-.ition which will be held a few «lays prior to the electiou. The convention practically settle« the <|uestious at it u-.- unless uu uuforseen element arises aud tries to dislodge the set progarm of the leaders. MA YOR A LTY UNS ETTLEI >. The mayoralty was as good as set tled when Mayor Chrisman was pe titiouml to allow his name to come before the convention iu renomina tion for that office, but it appeal - that this was ouly a disquieter iu th«- ranks of nmuiroui city politicians. A number of these have approach«! F. W. O burn, of the Egeru« Loan A Sav ings bank, and request«-«! him to al low his uarne to be u> ‘ in connec tion with tho nomination for mayor. Mr. Osburn, while appreciating the bouor, is desirous of taking more time in which to consider the matt« r. la the meantime he is uudersto«»! not to be a oaudidate in .my way. It appears that iu an open couveii tio:i fight there will b«- a pretty strug gle for the place. Eith«-r mtlemau will make a good mayor. MENTIONED FOR CONUNCiLMEN. Among the citizens named at presnet its qualified ami lesiral I ciindulates for the vacant council seats are: First ward—W. W. Calkins, Ji. Svarvoru 1, E. O. Tobey, F. E. Dunn. Second ward—Geo.

Green, retiring member ot the council from the first ward, de clines to serve further. M. S. Barker, we understand, Ims sigmlleti a similar unwillingness to lie harnessed for two more years. J. W. White will also retire from the arena. W. W. Calkins refuses to I>e a candidate from the first ward. Thia is the present status of affairs. Ill the citizens’ convention things will I m « sifted and th«- live candidates and a mayor chosen. Other couven tions will have to hurry. PLANING MILL TO BE BUILT Stakes Driven for the Building-- Machin ery Bought. North Lawrence Street the Site Chosen—Eugene Planing Mill Co. the Name of the New Firm.

The little nine year old son of Harry Gray, living four miles west of Lorane, Lad a thrilling experienv-e Saturday night ami Sunday last. Mr. Gray went hunting Saturday ami be iug persuaded by the little lad per mitted him to go with him. - r they had traveled some distance, - r. Grav decided that he would take a certain route with the view of start ing some game. The route Mr. Gray wished to take was a little rough for the boy. and so be mapped out a way for the boy to go a short distance where be expected to meet the boy in about fifteiu minutes. He pointed out the course, designating a large «lead tree as the place for the sou to stop ami wait for him. STRAYi.D FROM COURSE. Th«« little fellow started out all right but it appears strayed from the course. When Mr. Gray reached the giveu point he found no sign of his boy. After waiting a reasonable time he’ starte«l back to find him. He soon found bis trucks ami discovered that he had followed a trail into the woods. The father took the trail aud followed as fast as possible but dark ness came ou ami he was forced to return home without his boy. He se cured help and lanterns and the search was continued all night. The next morning over forty men wore on the hunt ami the woods was searched in every direction. FOUND SUNDAY AFTERNOON. Late Sumiay afternoon the little boy was found tired ami «-xhausted but still in good shape considering his age and the «■« ertion he had un dergone. When t' e boy left his fath er he had two dogs with him. One, however, deserted him and came home «luring the eight,the other stay ing with his playmate until he was found. The incident occasioned much excitement in Loi me and stirred the hearts of all the citizens. —Nugget. ( Daily Guard, 1. .

After the business of the conven tion was attended to there was a spirit of exultation which demanded utter ance and the chairman announced that the republicans would be permit ted to crow awhilo over the prospects. The idea was a popular one and various committeemen were called to their feet to brag on their party and the various majorities in the pre cincts. Dr. Kuykendall led off with an en thusiastic speech and was quickly fol lowed by others. Dr. Paine said, “Now while we have the enemy down is th« time to lick him good.” Tho pugnacious spirit would not be sus pected to look at the doctor.
