Cal Jewpepper'i Opinion of Klder
Way back and "Proxy."
I hud just returned from Waterloo, where
I had been for the double pnrise of attend
ing the revival meeting and in answer to a
summon Iron. Mr.C. Hank, who wanted
some work done in my Hue I am a taxider
ific
mist By trade. (A taxidermist is one who
stuffs skins of dead animals, , birds and
fowls. I moke this explanation because I
don't want to be accused of wring bitr wordf
that no one can unuersiaiiu.j i '
right nere that Mr. nan. &
right name. He only wanted me to n

only a joke, but such jokes go a 1 ,W(ff
with me.
As I was goinp; to say, I had jr ml psturnd
anfl was backing my cart UO()er Ut
shed, when my wife met me at the barn
with one of my old coau ove j ber bead nd
a paper under her arm, ani'i kx.kiivg m ex
cited 1 was really uneasy.
"Why, what in tha world ails you,, Lu
cinda?" I attked. . .. v
'You just read Hhis,, Cal, and you will
see," she replied, vhiLetlM fire fairly flew
out of her wmppi&g brown eyes.
We ste pped inside the barn, out of the
rain, au-isatdown on a nack of bran. 1
tried to look iftl and nwHected u I though i
wu so'awwhaL agitated, Jiaviiig passed over
a road from my Iiouhc to Waterloo that
would make any otAier titan a christian
sweur worse thuu a pet parrot on a whaling
vessel, and having imm the victim ot a
pruotical joke, 1 anked my wife to read for
me u I win cold and wet, wtikh was true
I hctct Jte, not even to her. My wife com
menced readiugthe article under the cap
tion of ''Kldor Wayhack and Latin.' As
she jirocecdttd rn her rleur, soprano voice
and gradually pulling out the tremulo stop,
Bolosiak, my Waterloo trouble began to
vanish-, and when she got down to where
Clodhopper's daughter translated the first
Latin phrase, 1 said, mentally, "BteHB the
child !" because she hud explained what 1
could not understand. I could then see
that "A Salvationist" was right. Then
comes the confession of Klder Waylmck,
where the old hiiyseed confessed that he
did hate theologians, My heart almost
Maiik within me, and 1 said "Let us pray for
him 1" but my wife suggested that 1 wait
until I knew ull. Now I had formed a good
opinion of "A Salvationist," but I was not
stuck on his proxy because the proxy had
mentioned my name in connection with
thut intidelly inclined Elder Way back, but
us 1 did not understand the French and
Latin used by "Proxy," I tried to take his
remarks as a compliment, but when 1 found
that he hud put me down on a level with
that mutton-headed blabber-mouthed athe
ist, Klder Wnybaek, I got mad mad all
over and I used the worst words I ever
used in my life. I said, "He is a goi-darn-phool."
"Hushl Hush I" said Lucinda. 'Iknow,"
she continued, "tluit you are superior to
that old ignoramus Waybaok, or "Proxy"
cither, as to that, both morally, religiously
and intellectually, hut you must not use
harch language."
"I beg your pardon, Cindy," said I.
"You are excuseuble," said ahe, "but"
Here she hesitated, as our minds were mov
ing together we had gone back to the good
old days when the dear old ministers, who
were really called to preach the gospel, had
predicted that a great calamity would be
sent upon us because of the wickedness in
the country. Even Uncle lialaam who
we called Prince Duke had often said,
when be was standing in his rude pulpit
shining like a ghutcd ginger cute in the sun
shine, that the country would be purged of
its wickedness. Wasn't it, though? I
should say it was, in 1K86, when Charleston
and the surrounding country experienced a
shake-up that will never be forgotten ; and
we will have like visitations here unless

' A Remarkable DIscoTory,
From Albany Herald.
Frazler Wallace, a brother fif T. L.
Wallace of this city, recently leased a
piece of hop land of the old Maxwell
farm. In the Santlam hottom, seven
miles east of Albany. The land grew
bops so well that he concluded to pur
chase a small tract In that vicinity,
and found what he thought would suit
him in an adjoining piece, but after
diligent search could And no owner.
He then began searching the records
and discovered that it was government
land, and contained 42 acres of the
richest land in theSantiam bottom. He
lost no time in going to Oregon City
and filed a homestead upon it. The
land is worib perhaps $2000.
It seems remarkable that the land
should have Iain vacant so long, es
pecially as It is between and adjoining
two of the oldest farms in Linn coun
ty, the Lewis Cox farm on the west
having been settled upon in 1819.
Mr. Wallace has built a house upon
it and considers himself lucky in ob
taining a fine little farm free of post.
Council Proceedings.

adjourned session. All members were

The City Treasurer made his report
for the last quarter, and by motion the
report was accepted and ordered placed
on tile.
The Treasurer stated that there was
$22 of the city money in the bank when
it closed, and asked if he would have
to make it good or if the city would
look to the bank for the money. After
discussing the matter for awhile a
motion was passed that the matter be
referred to a committee of the whole
for consideration.
The recorder handed in a written re
port of the vote at thecityelection, and
by motion the report was accented and
the recorder was ordered to issue cer
tificates of election to all the newly
elected officers.
The following bills were read and
warrants ordered drawn on the city
treasurer for the same: J. A. Roberts,
$38.32; Ed Kellenbergcr, $32.50; P. W,
Morgan, $21.75; Cruson & Menzies,

Boyles, 50 cts.
Council then adjourned till the next
regular session.
Oreaoa and Washington Editors Will
Visit the Fair.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Oregon Press Association
was held Saturday to decide upon a
date for visiting the midwinter fair,
and February 6 was agreed upon.
Eighty applications have been received
by Chairman White. The Washing
ton association will join with the Ore
gon members and) make their visit at
the same time. To receive the courte
sies extended the Oregon Press Associ
ation, one must be a member and have
his dues paid up for 1894. Applications
for membership must be made to E. L.
E. White, 114 Grand avenue, Portland,
who will forward them to the secre
tary. The object In selecting so early
a date is to give all members an oppor
tunity to be on hand during the com
ing campaign iu this state. It is ex
pected that at least 50 members of the
Washington associstlon will he in the
excursion.
Many of the papers have "stolen"
the following article from an exchange,
each claiming that the incident hap
pened in Its own town. "A lady went
to a grocery store a few dnys ago for a
peck of upplt'S, taking as she supposed
a fresh lauudi ied flour sack. She held
the sack while the clerk poured in the
apples. A singular tiling then hap
pened. The fruit went through the
suck and rolled over the floor. On ex
amination It was found that there were
two holes in the bottom of the sack,
both trimmed with embroidery. The
young man fainted and the lady sent
a small boy after the apples with a
bosket."

query. But we will earnestly suppli

arrives when we can mnke the best

P. S. The ones who were affected
last week by our little "essay" intend
to answer It. Dear Ed., please publish
in full their account as it will be very
