Editor - and - Proprietor
Mr. Garland is making a tlior
ough canvass. He has a large
audience wherever he speaks. Hie
canvass is making him many votes.
The indications are that he will be
elected by a lurge vote. His ad
dresses are plain, polite and con
vincing. He deals in no abuse,
but strikes at the root of the evil of
county affairs extravagance in
office. The people are fast coming
to the conclusion that he is a safe,
conservative and able man, who
will manage the county's business
in an economical manner, free from
prejudice or favoritism. A vote
for Garland is a vote for strict
economy and low taxes.
The Oregon state board of horti
culture have conceived the idea of
placing a line of horticultural in
struction in the public schools, and
have resolved, "That it is the
judgment of this board that the
State Board of Public Instruction
should take measures to introduce
into the public schools of this state
a rudimentary line of instruction
in horticulture, as the essential
elements of our education to fit
men and women for intelligent
labor on the farm and in the
orchard."
The civil service rules have been
extended to include nearly 30,0CO
additional government employes,
and raising the number of classified
government positions from 55,000
to 85,000 in fact, civil service rules
have now been extended to cover
nearly every appointive position
under the national government,
excepting such as are subject to
nomination by the president and
confirmation by the senate and a
few secretaries and confidential
clerks.
The Brownsville Times.Blakely's
home paper, says: Who ever saw
Henry Blakely drunk? No man
on earth. Why then, do men
resort -to such low, contemptible
things as to say, "If Henry Blake
ly should be elected and keep sober
it would be more than he has done
before." Such slanderous state
ments can never accomplish any
good. Henry is an honest, sober,
conscientious man.
Mr. Watson, the democratic
nominee for representative, is
developing great' strength. The
people are realizing that he is a
man of ability and integrity. All
parties are free to acknowledge
that he is able, honest and indus
trious. He is the man this county
needs at Salem. Vote for Watson
and rest assured that he will serve
the best interests of the people.
Vote for Mark Peery, ofScio,
for county recorder. Mr. Peery is
a young man of more than ordinary
abilitv and is notedfor his honesty
and,integrity and is spoken well of
by everybody that knows him. tie
io n fine nenman and thorouehlv
understands bookkeeping andwould
make ,a tine recorder, vote lor
Peery and you will make no mis
take. When you vote for Kob't M
Miller for assessor, you vote for a
young man who is deserving of the
office. He has cared for and
looked after a blind father since
being a very small boy; besides he
is a young man of more than
ordinary ability and is every way
well qualified to discharge the
duties of the office. He is a native
son of Linn, give him your vote.
People who think the printing
office is a bud place for morals will
please read the following: "A
printing office is considered by
gome folks a tough place, and the
newspaper worker a mighty bad
man.1 Statistics, however, do not
bear out that idea. Of 3,890 con
victs in the penitentiary of Texas,
there is pot a printer or newspaper
man, while there are ministers,
doctors, bankers, barbers, photo
graphers, barkeepers', cooks and
members of professions and call

because the nature of his business
teaches him to detest shams, and
he scorns the hypocrite, says an

Some persons make up their minds
beforehand, and then only read or
entertain ideas which are in har
mony with these preconceived
opinions.

The democratic ticket is gaining
votes every day. It would not
surprise those who are posted if
the democrats would make a clean
sweep, as the republicans did two
years ago.
There is no more interesting
senatorial contest than that in
Lane county, between E. R. Skip-
worth, democrat; Baker, populist;
and Driver, republican.

Mr. J. M. Somers, a nominee of the
republican party for the legislature,
addressed the citizens of our city on
last Saturday evening, upon the local
and general issues of the day. Mr.
Somers unreservedly pledged himself,
If elected, to industriously use all
honorable means within his power to
bring about the following legislation:
The re-enactment of the mortgage tax
law; to confine all state officers to the
amount fixed by the state constitution;
to utterly clean out and dispense with
all the unnecessary tax-eating commis
sions now in vogue, and to decidedly
favor all legislation possible for the
relief of the taxpayers. On the all
absorbing question of money, he de
clares himself in favor of the greatest
possible use of silver that can be
reached without disturbing Its parity
with other money; and that the use of
silver can be greatly increased without
interfering with Its relations as a legal
tender and its purchasing powers.

It would naturally bo supposed that
business depression or a financial panic
would not be, ion in tno city of Wash'

At least two-thirds of the Inhabitants
of this city derive thoir living, directly

clerk cwr saves money is in a period of

in the bottom of a trunk or in the in

cuts down his'expenses in everv wav.
Thus nearly every class of business is
affected to some extent. Oa the other

the government clerk usually spends

A JOURNALIST.
Om Newspaper Writer Who Wu Born to
the Work.
The multitudes of young people who
are aspiring io do journalists may gain
an idea what a "born journalist" really
is from the cose of M. Augusts Vao
querie, a distinguished "newspaper
man" who died recently in Paris.
It is stated on irnnd mit.h.ir!fv ta
from the tirao he began writing for the
press, at tne ago or about twenty, to
the time of his death, at seventy-six,
Vacquerie had published in the French
journals twenty thousand, articles
signed with his name.
For the irreatcr Dart of thin tImA i,a
published at least one signed article
every oay. x nese articles were of a
high literary quality, and not only in
teresting but full of spirit, hopefulness
and reformatory enthusiasm.
A man of letters one day said to him:
"M. Vacauerie. how can vnn it.
every day an article full of youth, spirit
ami sensor 11 must oe a crushing taskl"
"Why, no," answered Vacquerie,
with surprise, "it is no task at all. On
the contrary, it is necessary for my
health. Instead of wearying me, it
rests my brain to write an article
everyday."
Such a man may surely be pro
nounced a born Journalist M. Vac
auerie had not nnlv onvrt.v iml h4..l.t
ncss, but sn important something
wuieu many 01 our own journalists
sadly lack a serious nnrnruu. nn,i .
sense of responsibility. A newspaper
mwayB iaut m lis amy u n permits its
desire to be "light" to render it flip

A lad falling Toward III! Donth OoMrlkM
nil RMolloctlofii.
The other day a boy employed in a
factory fell four stories down the shaft
of a freight elevator. By some inter
position of fate or Providence, gays the
Chicago Record, he landed on bis feet
after turning over a couple of times,
and crawled out of the bottom door
with a silly and mortified look on his
face.
The men who had seen him fall
rushed to the bottom of the shaft, ex
pecting to find him lying there, crushed
and lifeless.
"Are you hurt?" they asked,, taking
hold of him.
"N-n-no, I'm all right" .
"Did you light on your feet?
"I don't know. Leave me alone. I'm
all right."
In a few minutes he calmed down,
and one of the men asked him:
"What did you think of while you
were falling?"
"All I remember is that the feather
eleanin' nlace on thi nonnA . .-..
hut down."
"Is that all?"
"I could see as I went by that there
wasn't anyone workin' in there. That's
every blamed thing I can remember."
He stuck to 1t. At an awf ul mement,
when his past life should have come to
him in a flash, he was taking observa
tions of the "feather-cleaning place."
