It is easy to see tbat the publio mind is universally independent and liberal, politically speaking, with regard to congressional oanddatea in the new district. Ibis faot is prim arily due to tbe 10,000 normal major itv tbe republicans have in tbe dis triot. Consequently, with this major ity staring tbem in tbe faoe, num erous independent voters in tbe dem ooratio ranks are innnenoed more or v less in their desire to see Oregon ably represented in Congress. 'These independent voters look to the republican party to furnish tbe man with requisite qualifications to represent the state at Washington. On tbe other band, there is a like ratio of independent voters in tbe republican party desirous of seeing tbe state ably represented, whose principles, not , flecked with tbe partr lash, will lend their support to a demoorat of tbe right calibre in preference to a repnb lioan of mediocre capabilities. Bow ever, with tbe stupendous majority held in balanoe by tbe republicans, it should be easy for them to select the right material for a Congressman. In this part of the distiiot, tbe name of a prominent young repnb lioan has been brought before tbe people by his friends, and he is re ceiving flattering encouragement to make the race for CoDgress, by people of all politioal affiliations. Demoorats as well as republicans have a good word for Fred ilson of this city, as tbe following from Clark Wood's Weston Leader, Indicates: "Fred Wilson of Atbena is a brainy young man, and will make himself heard to good advantage in tbe forth coming congressional campaign. To native shrewdness and ability that have oarriod him forward in bis pro fessional and business affairs be unites a laudable ambition to make tbe most of himself. Being a lawyer, be turns to politios as naturally as a nat to yel low cream, and he is enabled to tring to bear upon tbe public problems of tbo day tbe power of a well trained and well balanood mind. Moreover, be possesses a happy and pleasing fa cility of platform expression." A man is best known in his home bailiwiok, and if Fred Wilson bad only Attend and Umatilla county so If -ruge to secure, he would be boosted in to a Congressman's seut without any trouble. He made a sterling fight for the nomination for joint senator in tbe lust campaign, was beaten rjyj a narrow margin, took bis defeat with no bitterness or sore spots and worked like a mau for the success of bia party. An orroueous statement, ' filtered iut the primary oampaign bad muob to do with Mr. Wilson's defeat. This state ment concerned tbe length of time he had beon a resident of Oregon, and was so handled that it worked greatly to his disadvantage. The faot Is, Mr. Wilson oamn to Oregon in 1808. lie whs a resident of the state for more than a year, when he went to Wake Forest oollege ia North Carolina (o secure his eduoa tion, immodialelv returning to Oregou After being admitted to tbe bar, and has since made his, home here. In the coming campaign tbe poople of this Congressional district will be made aware tbat Fred Wilson knows the seeds of Oregon, aud before they get through with him will be con vinced that he haa tbe brains ' to pot it np to them in a practical aud com prehensive nianuer. They will also find that a real, live, euergtio, seu bible man is tefore tbem. People of tbe Athena-Weston dis trict, where one of tbe best highways on the PaoiQo coast has been cou etruoted ou modern plans, will be in terested to learn that tbe Oregon Ag ricultural college haa taken np the good roads idea in earnest, and tbe 11 rat conrse in highway ohemistry tbat has ever been olfoied in any oollege iu tbe world has just teen announced. Prof. John Fulton, of tbe chemistry department, has taken tbia step aa a result of tbe iuoreased deruaud for good roads. Tbe course iuoladeihoth physios! and ohemioal tests of tars, bituminous pioduots, asphalts aud all mixtures such as eande, gravels, rocks uud other iugredieuts of tbe modern highway."' Concrete testing and tests of tbe ohemioal obuuges iu all these substances by exposure aud weather will form an important paif of the Successful Church Fair and Dinner. The dinner and sale given ty tbe ladies of the Christian churob last Saturday was one of tbe most success ful affairs of tbe kind ever held in the city. Tbe obioken dinner was sump tuous and served in splendid style, and many compliments were showered upon the management by tbe large orowd of people who partook of tbe dinner. Tbe Conundrum supper in tbe evening also drew a liberal pat ronage, and tbe unique menu caused muoh merriment, but was eminently Oiling, wheo snob orders as "barn yard melody," with "speoial clothing" "skipper's habitation," and numerous other puzzling dishes were sent out. Tbe sale of fanoy and useful artioles by tbe ladies waa also very successful, as was tbe candy booth', and tbe sale of Christmas gifts, presided over by the Missionary Cirole. Tbe sum total of the day's work was $102,20, tbe aid sooiety taking in 114.20, and the Missionary Cirole, $48. The ladies wish to heartily thank the public for their liberal patronage. Last Lecture of Series. A splendid leoture ou "England" was delivered Wednesday eveniug ty Mr, Meldrum at tbe Christian oburoh to a large audienoe. Tbia will be tbe last of the mid-week lectures for a time, but it ia hoped that Mr. Mel drum may see his way clear to re suming these most instrnotive evenings in the near future. The last of tbe present series of illustraed sermons will be given next Sunday evening, when the concluding scenes in the Life of Christ, tbe Resurreotion and Asoension, will be shown in tbe beau tiful Tassott plotures. Pastor Mel drum will on the following Sunday begin a uw series, tbe first sermon being "How Wo Got Our Bible." Cordova's Stone Pavements.
