Candidates,
It is said that Green Morris will like
ly receive the republican nomination
for treasurer.
There are four lawyers 'Of Albany
mentioned as candidates for the Judge
ship on the republican ticket Judge
Duncan, ex-Judge Blackburn, Mr.
Kelly and Mr. Newport, with the
chances in favor of Judge Duncan.
Judge Whitney, of Albany, and Mr.
Sarland, of Hits place, are the only
ones mentioned by the democrats.
Mr. Curl, Mr. Dulrymple, Mr. Steen
and numerous other gentlemen are
mentioned by the populists.
W. C. Peterson, of this place, Is men
tioned by the republicans for assessor.
Prof. White, of tills city, is men
tioned by I lie democrats for school
superintendent.
Henry Blakely, of Brownsville. 1
mentioned by Ids democratic friends
for sheriff.
Gen. McKnight, of Tallman, is sug
gested by the republicans for the office
of sheriff.
All tlie present officials are willing
to serve for another term, exoept Mr.
Rutherford and Mr. Deaklns, the lat
ter's probable successor being Mr.
Savage, his deputy,
C. B. Montague, of this place, Is be
ing urged for the clerkship by his nu
merous populist friends.
There is no lack of good material,
and all three parties can plao good
men iu the field. It remains to be seen
if this is done.
The populists of North and South
Lebanon precincts nave never gotten
over the idea that they were left in the
cold at the last convention. Tbey
ojsdm thut they will ask for proper
recognition this time. As a matter of
fact, Lebanon was practically the
birthplace (In this county) of the pop
ulist purty, and has given to it, iu
numbers, energy and talent, more than
its proportion, and yet other parts of
the county received the choice noml
nations. In the eternal fitness of
things, Lebanou should be allowed to
name the candidate for at least cue
first-class office. Blie would furnish
excellent material for several, and
then not get more than her share.
There are more intelligent populists in
Lebanon, to its population, thau In
any other part of the county.
A Grand Social Event
The ludles of tlie First Presbyterian
church of Lebanon gave a basket so
cial at Miller's hull, on last Tuesday
evening, which was a decided success.
A large audience of ladies and gen
tlemen were present. Promptly at 8
o'clock the house was called lo order
by direction ol the president of the so
ciety, M rs. McLane, hen Mrs. Day
read a choice selection from Will
Curletou on skating. Mrs. Day is an
excellent reader and displayed much
elocutionary power iu her reudltlou of
t he selection. She was most enthusi
astically applauded.
C, B. Montague then gave the ghost
story from "Handy Andy," which wob
greeted with roars ot laughter. At
this juncture a breathless boy rushed
nto tlie hall, yelling out that he had
swallowed a dime, and. that the drug
gist to whom he had applied for relief
told him to go ('own to Miller's ball
ud if the ludiea of the Presbyterian
society could not get that dime out of
him his case was a hopeless one.
Then came the sale of the beautiful
baskets, each basket containing a
lunch for two, theludy'scard deposited
within each basket so that tlie pur
chaser could not tell wbo bis partner
for the evening wus lo be until be re
moved the napkin covering the lunch
contained within. No bids over fifty
cents would be received. Nor was any
sold for less than that amount, al
though smaller bids were entertained.
Many laughable Incidents occurred
din ing the sale. The lovely works of
artistic merit weie knocked down by
the auctioneer very rapidly. Age does
not wither nor custom stale our genial
friend Montague's witticisms, and on
this occasion lie excelled himself.
The amount realized must have been
very gratifying to the Presbyterlau
ladies, while socially Ihe occaslou was
a gruud success.
Road to Quart?ville.
At tlie April term of the county
court, u petition will be presented ask
ing that a new road be established
bet ween Foster and Quiirlfvllle. The
petition will be' numerously signed
and will be vigorously urged. The
distance Is about 80 miles, with no
high mountains. The road can be
built ut a cost of about $8,000, and will
be open all winter. The Quurtaville
citizens are cooped up during the whi
ter, tlie snow being too deep to permit
travel. If the road Is opened, free and
eusv traveling can tie none me year
round. The travel on the road would
soon tie very great ana mucn traae
would be deviated to towns along the
mule from Albany to the mines. La
bor and material would ne subscribed
by parties along the route, and the
county would be naked to puy about
$2,000 lor bridges, tools and blasting
materials. This iden should commend
Itself to the commissioners, as the road

John Settle.
The subject i,f this sketch was born
In Dearborn county, Indiana, Nov.
25, 1808, wliere he lived 'Until 80 years
old. He was married te a most estim
able lady, Miss Martha Hudson, in
April, 1828. He moved with his fam
ily to Illinois several years afterwards,
and thence to Iowa, where he re
mained until 1846, when he crossed
the plaint to Walla Walla. He re
mained for a while at the famous
Whitman settlement, a place famous
In the history of the northwest for the
horrid Indian massacre. Mr. Settle
was urged by Mr. Whitman to remain
permanently with him, and was of
fered remunerative employment. Ob
serving the restlessness of the Indians,
he wisely decided to move to the more
peaceful vallejf of the Willamette,
w hich he reached after several narrow
escapes from the relentlLssuess Indians.
He finally settled in Linn county, in
the fall of 1847, taking up and retain
ing till his death a donation claim just
north of Lebanon. His first wife hav
ing died, in 1859 he married the estim
able lady who now survives blm.
Mr. Settle joined the Odd Fellows at
Albany in 1869, and remained an hon
ored member till his death and was
buried by his brethren. He always
took a lively interest in passing events
and was an active promoter of the W.
V. & C. Wagon road. Mr. Settle was
the father nf fourteen children, nine of
whom survive him. Through all of
his long and eventful life, in pioneer
days and present times, "Uncle
Jackey" Settle, as be was familiarly
known, bore an unblemished name,
honest, honorable and truthful, aud
bas left to his numerous descendants
a memory of which they may well be
proud. His life was plain, devoid of
all ostentation. His death was pain
less. His funeral was like his life,
simple, free from vain display and
meaningless orations in all as he
would have wished it, could he have
kntiwil. A Friend.
