MLLSMR Vol.31 Hillsljoio, Washington loiiuty, Oregon, March 11 1901. No. 43 CHEER UP COMRADE. By'J. B. VViggener.. These verses were written after the capture of Vickburg by the eld est of J. S. Waggener's four ions, who were all in the Union ranks, one of them being Hillsboro 's efficient postmaster. The author died in An dersonville prison, from exposure and starvation, having been taken prisoner at the tattle of Jackson, Miss., in 'A3. J Cheer up comrade, do not languish! Do not faint in Freedom' cause! Hear the short-lived present's anguish. Halt not 'til the foe we vanquish; Never falter, never pause. Still advancing, ne'er retreating, Be not lukewarm in the fight; Viewless drums the charge are beat- ing. '. Angel voice arc repeating: "Onward, conquer (or the right I" Stem the tide with upright bearing; Bravely take your destined part. Every toil and danger sharing; Think not cowardly despairing, Hope bids us attend her writing Outlines in the future's page; Bids us trust that toil and fighting, Marches sore and watch exciting, May the dawn of peace presage. i Light is even now appearing, In our sorrow-clouded ky; Even now the mist is clearing, From our prospect, signs unerring, Tell us that the end is nigh. Then let Politics and Faction, Rave and bluster while they may, Yield to Duty's stern exaction, Cheer upl and with earnest action,. Hasten the approaching day. WOMEN, ATTENTION.

POLITICAL POINTERS. The holding of Multnomah County's primaries next Wednesday will clear the political atmosphere and save a scrap in the outside counties. As Portland goes the senatorship is likely to go, and the scattering votes from the country counties will avail little against the big block of votes from the metropolis, a condition which the leaders Have recognized by centering their energies on the city fight. Hon. S. B. Huston, of Hillsboro, has been solicited by different parts of the district to become a candi date for the Republican congressional nomination in the First District, but his attitude is not that of seeking the nomination, though of course if it comes to htm it is too high an honor to be refused. A creditable record in the state senate and recognition of his eminence in his profession by selec tion as president of the Mate bar as sociation for the past year, suggest that such an honor would not come unmerited and if in a dilemma over candidates the congressional conven tion should consider Mr. Huston's name, the Washington County dele gation will doubtless be glad of an opportunity to support a favorite from their own home. . . : -. u; 1 ',,,...

The Germans of the county look on the present recorder as their candidate, and svi'l y.ol n .' fer anything to jeopardise his inv ests. If tl,e order of nomination could be changed so that the recorder was nominated before the hheritr. Mr. Council's chances would be great ly improved. Personally he is very popular and would make a good run ning. Ex-Clerk J. W. Morgan, ex-R-corrfer E. L. McCormick, and E. J. Godman. who was the unsuccessful candidate last time, are in the field for the nom ination for county clerk. All are good men, but it looks as though "Jim" had the inside track just now. Ex-Senator E. W. Haines, T. 11. Adams, State Committeeman (Dr.) W. D. Wood. T. W. Sain and Ch.nlea Tigard are the senatorial timber. The, ex-senator's disastrous defeat on his, last run and Mr. Adams' newness itm county politics make the last thne the likelier, .but the lightning rr ay strike unexpectedly. Dr. Wood's un swerving loyalty to Senator Mitchell, of course, makes him especial!; ac ceptable to the faction which is jn the majority in this county. Prin. M. C. Case, one of the coun ty board of examiners, will lie a can didate for school superintendent, while Superintendent Ball's uplendid record and popularity a-jiong the teaches insures his receiving strong support in the convention toward his renominating John McOaran, of Gales Creek, is named for sheriff and the loyalty with which that precinct has regularly roll ed up its Republican majority gives it especial claim on the party. Ex'Qommissioner T. G. Todd, of Forest Grove, would be an acceptable candidate for county commissioner, and his name is often mentioned.' Others being considered are C. C. Hoopers and Del Matteson of Wapato and A. B. Todd of Dilley. Representatives 1 1 ines and Purdy will probably be renominated, and the third vacancy in the legislative dele gation may be Horticultural Commis sioner W. K. Newell, of Wapato, or Chairman Benton Bowman, of the county committee, with his location favoring the latter. Judge T. A. McBride will have tlie Republican nomination for circuit judge without opposition, and there is rumor that the Democrats will dn a very graceful act in compliment to a jurist who has never carried politics onto the bench by not putting up any candidate against him. District At torney Harrison Allen will be his own successor. Attorney Campbell, of Clackamas, alone contesting his nom ination and without hope of success. An ex-official, well versed in the politics of Washington County, re cently expressed the opinion that the Republican candidate for senator from whichever faction he might come would not be likely to win out and that a man who had not been identi fied with either faction was not fit for the office.
