LOCAL UNCORD. From I'kinkvills Pai-khs. The first raiti of any consequence that has (alien in this section since February fell on Wed nesday, and several showers have visited us since. Prior to these ruins, prospects or this country looked most gloom y, as grass and grain were suffering for moist ure and there was little hope of any feed being raised, but since these rains at least a half crop is insured and farmers and stockmen feel that the county is saved .... About two million lbs., of wool will be s'lipped from this county this spring. At IO cents a pound this will bring $200,000 into our county quite a sum, don't it ?. . . . Any place having a one-horse preacher, or in fact any kind of a preacher they want to dispose ef or trade off, will do well to con fer with I'rineville. We have not anv preacher at all, and will bargain for alir.ost any kind of a divine rather than do without entirely Cattle and horse men say their stock is in an unusually inferior r condition, but the prospects now for good suuiiiici grass encourage mem .... retatocs and othu garden truck planted some six weeks ago arc now just beginning to come up. By Electricity. A Democrat man 'ast evening had the pleasure of seeing an electric motor run the presses of Mr J II TSurkhart It has just been put In by Allen & Goff, and works like a charm, turning several presses witli great rapiuity and ab solute reliability. If eight er ten motors could be taken the firm would put up a special wire, we understand, by which the motors could be used during the day. The Democrat wou1d like to sec this done, as it Is anxious to have its press run by the mysterious element that makes such a powerful light and possesses so much force at the same time. Firk at Salem A big fire occurcd at Salem this morning at about one o'clock when a fire broke out in Thomas llolman's electric light works and fanning mills, and the entire contents were burned. The loss is nbout!f 75000 divided as fol!ows:I)uilding (known as the old agricultural works,) $25, 000; electric light p'ant, $I4,ocd; fanning mills, $6000; stock, etc., $10,000. The planing mills of Churchill & Cook also were in the building; loss probably $20,000. The building is said to have cost $80,000 originally. There is small insurance. - To-NuiiiT.

Tills year it will be over 60, 000. Multnomah county alone shows an increase of about 1500. A peculiar feature to this large increase is the fact that the new comers appear to be mostly Rcpubll. cans. In Albany the vote was increased about 135, and the increase in the Repub lican vote in tiie two precincts was, nearly 100. According to the prevailingratio in the Slate tiie present population off Oregon is probably 275,000. The Reason. Polk county went Re publican. with a minor exception. A gen tleman has shown us a Democratic ticket for that county, which fully explains mat ters.

The ji printer should be taken to task.for how could a helpless eagle expect to w in. At Nkwtort The 4th will be eclebrat yf ud at Newport with imposing ceremonies and a sailing and rowing regatta. "An ub!e speaker from abroad will deliver the ora tion ," It is a curious fact that all able speakers come from abroad. Should there be no celebration in Albany an excursion party from this city may be relied on. America Liberty. This afternoon five young men, mostly of Albany, have been making the great American Bengal tiger howl In a very hilarious manner. The champagne bill alone is reported to have amounted to nearly a hundred dol lars. Their bus attracted considerable at tention. Later. One of the party, Frank Fost binder, A printer and recent arrival here, was arrested at 4 o'clock by Policeman Mo Claln, and is now in the caliboose. The others haye not been disturbed. ST. !.Oi;iH (,'ONVKNTION. telegraphic account. St. Louis, June 7, 1888. Convention called to order shortly be fore 10:30 this morning. Waterson, chair man of the committee on resolutions, read the platform, which he said had been unan imously agreed upon by the committee. It reaffirms the principles of 1884 and endorses the views expressed by President Cleve land in liis last message to congress. 11 K. M. Platform was adopted amid a storm of applause. Resolutions were then adopted favoring the admission of Dako ta, Montana, New Mexico and Washington territories, endorsing the Mills' tariff bill and favoring its immediate passage.

Tarpey, of California, nominat ed Thiirmnn.and was followed byl'atterson, of Colorado, who presented the name of General Black. A telegram was received from lllack while Patterson was speaking, withdrawing his name in favor of Thur man. Piggott, of Connecticut, seconded Thurinun's nomination. Voorhees, of Indiana, nominated Uray, of the same state, in a strong speech. I I. M. Vooriiees claimed that without Indiana, democrats could not hope to carry next election. When Voorhees concluded, Cox, of Georgia, seconded the nomination, Thurman's nomination was seconded by state after state. When Voorhees saw there was no chance for Gray, the whole convention shouldering for the man from Ohio, lie made his way to the platform and withdrew Gray's name and moved to make the nomination of Thurman unanimous. The convention answered effectively as one man amid the greatest scene and en thusiasm ever witnessed in a convention building. At 2:15 p. m. the convention adjourned sine die. II01IK AND ADIIOAI).

Mr Foster in tho oarly days of Oregon was ne of the leading men of Western Oregon, his namo being identitiod with many enterprises, and his oondition n ill be watched with interest. Some Ktoctlon Notes. The entire Republican ticket in Lane county was elected, Mr. Lark Iiilycu, fail ing with the remainder of the ticket to get enough votes to elect him. The Portland AVaw figures out Her mann's majority in Oregon at G3O4. In Benton county his majority was about 25O. Judge Ramsey, of Pendleton was beaten for CircuitJudgc by 140 majority. In Jackson county the Democrats elect ed everything but the Clerk, Sheriff, Com missioner and Surveyor. Gearin's majority was only 209. Thos Tongue was elected Senator in Washington county by 234 majority There will be some talking done in the next Leg islature. Grasping at straws has been the order in Linn county on nccount of the close vote on several candidates. To-dav some have been troubled oil nccount of tiictigures pub lished showing ten more votes cast for County Judge in Santiam than for any other county officer. When the vote Is counted to-night the matter will be plain, and the result will not be changed. It will then be learned that some prohibition votes were scratched also. Mr. Hewitt's majority for Prosecuting Attorney is about 800. Weather Report. For 24 hours, be ginning at 7 o'clock, p. 111.

According to our contemporary, Mr. Miller, of Scio, who ran for county judge on the prohibition ticket, is liable to be placed by republicans in the same boat with Mr. St. John; but' we hope not burned in effigy. The state ment that Mr. Blackburn would have been elected by 100 majority but for the prohi bition vote cannot be verified. There were only a few over a hundred votes cast for judge, and it is safe to .estimate that very nearly nalt ot them were cast by demO' crats." WHAT LLBLAIN HAS.
