The Sllverton Election Case.
Judge Boise in tho circuit court
today decided the Silverton contest
ed election case in favor of the
plaintiffs the prohis, holding that
the law ofl&So made tho secretary
of state the judge of tho legality of
ballot paper ; and that inasmuch as
the paper on which tho prohibition
ballots were printed was purchased
from that official, tho prohibition
votes hould have been counted.
The court gave tho defendants until
to-morrow to file a bill of exceptions
and to move for a new trial. It is
understood that the plaintiffs will
set forth the claim that the paper
to not bought for election pur
poses. Pointed the Way to Triumph.
Hon. Dinger Hermann, writing of
the recent Oregon election, and won
derful majorities, says:
"It exceeds our most sanguine an
ticipations, and is tho wonder of
the day to all our people in the
eastern states. Oregon has done her
self infinite honor. Her position
has pointed tho way to triumph all
along the line, and has stimulated
all republicans to renewed energy.
It has created new hopes."
Exceptions In the llayden Case.
Tho attorneys for Clell Hayden in
the Pattcrson-Hayden damage suit,
filed a bill of exceptions in tho case
with Judge Boise to-day. Tho prin
cipal point made is, that Judge
Boise refused to instruct tho jury
that proof of former unchaste char
acter should bo considered a bar to
entertaining a case of seduction.

COL. IIAWLEY OX SALEM,' Aft
A Short Sketch of Salem in tho West
Shore by a Well Known
Writer.
In the Juno number of tho West
Shore, Col. A. T. Hawley, tho
talented writer of proso and verse,
who is well known here, having
sojourned in Salem for some time,
has commenced a series of most ex
cellent descriptive articles, entitled
"A Picturesque Town." The writer
conceives a summer spent between
tho summit of tho Siskiyou moun
tains, and the Columbia river.
Ho gives tho following notice of
Salem and her adjacent attractiens:
"Salem, the capital city, is only a
little over an hour's run from Al
bany. Here aro located the state
capitol, an attractive building well
worth a visit, tho state penal in
stitution, the asylum for the insane,
tho deaf, dumb and blind schools,
and other public institutions, all of
which can bo visited aud studied
with profit by students of the
public affairs of tho country, aud it
is to tho tourist who desires to com
bine information with pleasure that
this sketch of travel is particularly
directed. The homes of Salem, with
their well-kept lawns and flower
yards, form good object lessons as to
the unlimited capacity of the Wil
limetto valley for the building up of
beautiful homes. The Willamette
university, successor to tho oldest
educational institute in the state, is
located hero and is doing good work.
The tourist will bo repaid if, with
liis party, ho drive to the top of one
of the adjacent hills, and feast his
vision upon such a far-reaching,
wide-spread panorama of snow peak,
lesser mountain, smiling valley,
woodland copes, gleaming river aud
far off hills that rim tho horizon, as
is seldom met with in tho course of
travel. Tho next day, if he cares
for nature's handiwork, he can
easily persuado tho ferryman to
Minto's island to set him and his
parly across tho slough and show
him tho rocky beach, where agates,
cornelians, jasper, green, red, yellow
and purple, singular shaped lava
cones and curious petrifactions can
bo discerned by sharp eyes, and
carried home to find place in the
cabinet of remembrances from far
off lands. After a morning spent in
such a bearch, and a lunch to follow,
three or four hours will suffice for a
drive to, and inspection of, tho
Chemawa Indian training school,
where lie can bee for himself, In
part, what tho government is doing
for tho fast perishing race who in
habited these lands before tho white
man camo to dispossess them. Re
turning to the hotel at 0:00 v. jr., if
the sky bo fair, a walk to tho west
end of tho bridge should follow,
when a glance to tho northeast will
reveal Mount Hood, in a sitting
which makes a picture worthy of
tho brush of a Tintoretto. Whether
at sunrise or sunset, the viow of the
swelling hills of Polk county, clothed
with nodding grain, is a vision of
beauty, the recollection of which
will haunt him for years.
Lebanon soda springs and Silver
City falls, at which latter point two
beautiful cascades lend a poetic
charm to the landscape, aro localities
well worth a visit by tho leisurely
tourist. Either point can be easily
reached by stage or private con
veyance from Salem or Albany.
Leaving Salem for Portland,
stops can bo made for tho purposo of
inspecting tho Benedictino monas
tery and nunnery at Mount Angel.
Tho members of tlds venerable
religious organization have planted
their educational institutions in tho
heart of an American state, and I
have heard it frequently remarked
that their imposing buildings and
their surroundings seem almost like
a bit of tho old world dropied down
in the midst of tho new, Tho friars
and nuns wear the peculiar garb of
their order, and aro noted for their
courtesy and hospitality to the
visitors. Twolvomifos east of Mount
Angel aro located Wilholt springs,
tlm wntnr of which is n snnrkliiitr
soda, in high repute, and attracting
lUUHlrCUS 01 Vliiltora uiiiiUHiiy.
Located in the foothilis of tho great
Uaeonde rouge, the adjacent bconorv
is of rare beauty and attractiveness."
