The young men of 'Salem have de cided to take a hand In politics, espe cially in the coming election, andi if present appearances : might be taken a an indlcaton of the future, their Influence will be very marked in the coming city election of mayor and councllmen. " ; ' I. k ' The members of the Young Men's Republican. Club tiave taken the initia tive irt stirring up interest in the con test, and they Intend to make it Very interesting berore election day. ; Pursuant to the call of the president, the cnembers of the club met In J. G. Graham's office last night. The at tendance was small, considerine that the membership of the club numbers over 450 young Republicans, but th gathering was ; . represntative every ward in the old city, and also the new wards were represented by enthusias tic delegates. who had the fire of bat tle in their eyes, and are ready and anxious for the fray. The enthusiasm of the members, displayed, an unusu ally large amount of interest so early before even the nominations are made. President H. T. Pat ton was present and presided over the session, and in the absence of the secretary, Clair Baker, Ellis Richardson was chosen secretary pro tem. After calling the meeting to order, the president made a splendid address, explaining the w-orjc before the club, and -calling for united effort. He said, in part: "At the request of many members of this club, I have called this meeting together; to discuss and decide the future policy of this organization. To oe ercective and recognized as a club, we must stand together, and work to gether in harmony, , "The meeting of this club, coming as it does, upon , the eve of the city election, means much to all of us as young Republicans. We have, tf or ganized properly, a majority of the voters of Greater Salem, and I will say, the . progressive element. The young business men of the cityt will be with. us. To ibe recognized, we must be organized more thoroughly and more carefully than ever before. We will be a great help to the Repub lican party in general, and to the cen tral committee in particular, and when any deserving member of this club asks for, recognition, I am sure the appeal will be heard. "I would recommend that the Young Men's Republican Club orranlxo on the same ; principle as the central committee, and be divided into sub orgajilxatons, whic5i will be able to do effective work tfor the party and their principles.! ; The nominations for mayor and councllmen will be by direct vote, and no one knows yet but what there will be biut one ticket in the Held. Let us help to put in the council good men, who will stand or good streets and roads, an economical administration ana a progressive city. I believe and know that we have such men In the Republican party. After organizing and after the nominations are made, I would suggest j that a committee be appointed to call upon the central committee and. notify them that we are ready with our help to elect the ticket. Above all else, let us work in harmony, which is the only way that we can accomplish anything. The meeting is now! open for discussion." A heart to heart discussion of the plans to be followed for ; organizing and conducting i the campaign waa made, and on motion, it was decided that the meeting, when adjourned, should be to meet in Justice Horyan's court room in the Murphy building, next Friday evening, when ; several committees which were appointed by President Patton,' would report, and the active? work of the camnaiirn will be begfun. f It ; is hoped that every young Republican in Greater Salem will be present and take an active part In the proceedings. The club proposes to adopt resolu tions, and probably eventually to draft a platform, which will cover some of the pertinent questions of the day in the city government, and proposes that any candidate who secures the votes of the Republicans of Salem, win be pledged to : uphold: certain SOME SECOND STORY WORKERS !

Sheriff Thomas Allen, of Harney county, went to Portland yesterday af ternoon and will rest for a few days in that city before starting on the long Journey home. He leaves the Oregon Short Line at Ontario, and is com pelled to travel ISO miles to reach Burns, the county seat or Harney coun ty. He at rived In Salem Sunday with two prisoners, and said he had no de sire to make such a trip any more often than necessary. It is a terrible strain on a man's nerves to be compelled to keep constantly alert for fear desperate criminal mignt get the upper hand during three dayr' Journey by stage coach and another two days by ralL '. Sheriff Allen expects to be compelled to again make the loucnev In th future, and he Is not looking forward to the nip with any great amount of pleasure, as this time he will have in Lis custody Jack Frost, the criminal recently arrested In Nevada, and now cn trial in Harney county, for murder. He will tlkely be convicted and in that event, wrether or not he is sentenced to be. hung, he will be brought to Ka- iem. ii . he is remenced to be hung, the deain watch will haVe to be main tained tven while he is being brought to the m nltentiapy for execution. Sheri.l Allen said that as yet Har ney county was not feeling the effects of the lapld Immigration to Oregon, as most people looked upon that country, with a county seat 150 miles from the nearest railroad, as a wilderness, unfit for human habitation. t "Of course." said he, "we w;iil In time get some of those people- up' our way. bui in the meantime there ate thousands of acres of land lying Idle, and mo;, I of it is absolutely worthless.

This raUri Jom s temper, and he abused '- Rhoades by 'palling him a string of bad names. Rhoades, who Is a man some smaller than Jones, then administered sufficient punishment by the way of a beating to cause Jones ana ois companions to leave the place. That was Just before midnight. Shortly after 1 o'clock. Just as Rhoases was clostncr the -saloon. .Jones and nn of his companions came back. Rhoades remained to him that he was the man with whom he had had trouble earlier in the evening, and Jones said yes, but he ; nad come to apologize and make UP. - - , V "I was pretty drunk when I created mat row. said Jones. "But now I am sober, and let us shake hands. You are the first mtn who ever knocked me 'down." . - "Have a drink. said Rhoades, and he turned to get it.- Then lt was that Jones drew the revolver and fired point blank at him.

The wounded man was taken at onje to St. Vin cent's Hospital, and tne police went to work on the case. City Physician" Zan Attended Rhoades, and today stated that his par tient is out of danger. The bullet, he said, entered the right side of the neck, ranged upwards and outwards through the mouth and out at the left temple. It narrowly missed vital places In its course, and It Is regarded as a miracle that the victim was not shot dead. Rhoades hardly lost consciousness all throueh the Irvine- ordeaL and said n.i once he could identify his,, assailant. ' Jones Makes His Escape. Portland.
