Fisher is one of Mult nomah's "chosen nine" in the House of Representatives. Generally speaking the ranks of the medical profession are made up of a class of gentlemen possessing great stregtli of mind, highly cultured intellects and a loftiness of character which is necessary to command for them the respect of the general public. They are therefore entitled to the great confidences which are necess arily reposed in them, and which they guard with all the great trad itional honor of their noble calling. Amongst the physicians of Oregon who are highly respected is Dr. Fish er. He was born in Missouri, Jan uary 21, 1841, but shortly afterward his parents moved to Indiana, in which state he resided until he had reached the age of manhood. He is a graduate of Rush Medical College at Chicago, and began to administer relief to the sick and afflicted in Ill inois iul8G9. In 1871, ho decided that the state of Nebraska was a bet ter field for his profession, and ac cordingly removed to that state, whero he resided for several years. For two years ho was coroner of Merrick county but 18S0 found the Doctor in Oregon, where lie has re mained. Ho settled in Alblna, Multnomah county, where ho is en gaged in his profession. Wo will say In conclusiou that the doctor is a stalwart republican and has always been such. HON. ASA II. CROOK. Hon. Asa H. Crook is a joint rep resentative from the counties of of Curry and Coos. He resides near Ellensburg inMho county of Curry, whero he is busily engaged in farm ing, dairying and stock raising, at which he has been unusually sucess ful. Mr. Crook was born in White side county, Illinois, December 12, 1837, where he resided until ho had reached the age of twenty-one, when the western country with its won derful tales of adventure and of gold became w fascinating that he at once left for Oregon and landed i n 1858. Mr. Crook isageutleman wlio by his courteous demeanor and con siderate nature will make friends wherever ho may go. Ho has had the honor of being sheriff of his county one term aud is now serving his second term as Joint representa tive trom Coos aud Curry. He is anactlvoandwell known republi can. Wa He HleJ D"'1 George Washington was of superb physical development, absolutely free from all taint of hereditary dis ease, a very temped man, and lived during most of his life in con ditions favorable to longevity. ct he died at the comparatively early age of 67. When we read in his bi ography that the first action of each successive medical advlaoi -was to Mk ifthepatlent had been bled, and then to proceed to more bleeding to make a sure thing of It, our wonder at an early death may be eted. On the last day he , bLth times, and the physician Innocently lays of the last time that the ''blood gajsuiiuD would did not now jnj. suppose not.

Portland's smallpox expenses amounted to $10,185. Smallpox, aside from beluga dangerous visitor, is expensive as well. Thursday will not only be St. Val- eutine's day but it will also mark Oregon's thirtieth year as a state. Oregon is a full-bearded man all the year round, for grass is green hero always, and tho t-chool-boy defined grass as whiskers ou tho face of the earth. A grange has been organized at Independence. The membership is over forty. They named tho new order "Oak View." The grange movement Is spreading and gather ing force throughout tho coast.
