and in Texas until 1881, when he
moved to Portland, which has
been his home up to the time he

of the most active and public

an enthusiastic worker in every
enterprise that would tend to
bring Fortland into prominence,

could not lie learned where
tfte paper was to be located, but it
thought that Hillsboro will be
selected as the place, as that would
be the center of the political field.
It is said that a conference was held
among the prominent democrats
both from here and Hillsboro and
all the arrangements were perfected
to launch the new paper. Rumor
has been current here and at the
county seat town for some time to
this effect, but it was not until
Monday that any tangible evidence
of the fact presented itself. And it
was hinted, too, that one of the
present comity papers proposes to
switch over into the democratic
column.

One of the most welcome en

play "Tilly Olson," to be played
at the Crescent November 4.
Manaeer Fred Falkner in nre-

realistic play based upon the
traits of Scandinavian character,
that has ever been shown on the
stage. Tilly is a young Swedish

of the daughters of Scandinavia.

been stolen from her in child

Chicago, Oct 29. -Relaxation
from the strain of high prices in
foodstuffs, which will soon un
dergo a reduction of approxi
mately 10 per cent, was the fore
cast made by local jobbers and
merchants yesterday. Predic
tions credited to Edward Cudahy,
of Omaha, who said his company
had reduced its prices 10 per
cent inspired Chicago dealers to
voice expressions calculated to
cheer the average consumer. In
some instances reductions are
looked for within a few days, but
here is no general move just
now to put lower prices into ef
fect With the proposed cut in meat
comes the announcement that the
price of butter soon will reach a
point which will take that com
modity out of the luxury class,
where it long has been placed.
According to Daniel Coyne, of
the commission firm of Covne
Brothers, butter now Kollintr at.
26 1-2 cents wholesale, will reach
25 cents before the end of the
week. Eggs, according to Mr.
Coyne, soon will recede from
their present wholesale nrieo of
25 cents per dozen.
Local packers express no snr-
Krise at the prediction made by
Ir. Cudahy, some declaring that
the eeneral decrease in the price
of meat mav exceed 10 per cent.
