eipal speaker appointed on the negative
was Mr.. Siglin, of the Coos Bay Ne,Us,
who was attending ball at Marshfield
and Couldn't come" so our old friend
N. E. Goodall, formerly of Forest Grove,
was assigned his position, and he made
telling speech. Mr.. Beaumont fol-
lowed, after which, by invitation Of the
Society, we occupied ten minutes in
favor of a "monarehical form of govern
ment." Afterwards, when volunteer
speeches were in order, finding that no
body else would give our impromptu
effort the ridlculing it deserved, we took
the other side of the question and gave
the "first lady speaker thorough
overhauling that delighted the affirma-
tive side of the house. Mr.. Watson
summed up' for the affirmative in a
fifteen minutes speech of much more
than ordinary merit, proving that he had
studied his part till he was well up in
facts and fancies. Again, by unan-
imoUs invitation from the Society, we
were assigned the ''negative' in reply.
OF course such speech could be moth
ing more nor less than fun or burlesque,
but we did our best, feeling quite as
much astonished at our own success as
anybody else did.
The meeting broke up in splendid
humor, and we should not have thought
of it again but for the fact that the gen.
tlemen who were vanquished in argu-
ment flew to the columns of the Coos
Bay NeaOs, and in the most contempti-
BILE manner possible accused us of hav-
ing quarrelsomely imposed ourself upon
the Society and consumed its time, say
ing that we had personally attacked its
members, rebuking them for applauding
in the wrong place, had outrageously
attacked the Oregon Legislature, and
called US by insulting names, thereby
proving that we had badly beaten them
with little playful nonsense, when al
along every sensible listener knew thai
that we were simply making a gooC
time for them at our own expense. Tht

Jacksonville has levied a tax of five

The price of logs on the Sound has

the past season, but a slight decline is
now threatened.
According to the assessors report, the
people of jackson county are in debt

Large quantities of wheat are being
shipped from Forest Grove by railway.
1t is estimated that $4,000 bushels will
be shipped from that point during the
season.
Tt is claimed that farming land is
cheaper in Curry county than any
other county in the State, and that
plenty of it may be had, under the
homestead law, for the taking.
The new NJ. E. church at Pendleton
will be dedicated as place of worship

covetlets, and soft, twilled blankets;
quilts of gorgeous colors and tedious
workmanship; dainty patchwork with
a dozen pieces to the square inch; chair
seats, sofa-pillows, and fOot-stOols, upon
which recline impossible cats and dogs
in worsted; pillow-slips finished with
marvels of lace and embroidery; collars,
cuffs and night-caps; skirts, wrappers,
chair-pillows and baby-blankets; white
and gray home-knit socks and striped
home-knit mittens; slippers, smoking
caps, watch-pockets; handkerchiefs,
tides, night-caps and book-marks; but,
we pause out of breath and turn the
corner to view the pictures. This de-
partment presents unusual attractions,
some of the pictures being exquisite in
design and finish.
Our sprightly little friend, Miss Nelly
Meacham, displays a collection of oil
paintings that would be no diseredit to
one of far greater experience than her
self, and of course takes premium.
One of the most attractive pictures was
large cross embellished with garland
of flowers in Oriental painting; while
one that displayed great skill and deli
cacy of touch, was crayon representing
an iceberg" Both of these, we be-
lieve, were executed by Miss Scott, ol
Salem.
Buchtel & Stolte had as usual a mag
nificent display of pictures in every
style known to their art. L. Goldson,
of Corvallis, exhibited some fine work
in enlarged and retouched photographs,
the work being executed by himself and
wife. Some magnificent views in land.
scape painting were displayed by J.
Hanson; among these were the finest
pictures on exhibition.
Ofthe grains and seeds, patent-churns

threshers, drills, mowers, separators
buggies, wood-saws, etc., etc., we shal
not attempt to speak. Neither of the
splendid display of stock, nor of the ex
citing races. To be appreciated thest
things must be seen, and to tell the
truth, our opinion upon these matterI
and things is not very well defined.
That the fair was success financially
is shown by the secretary's books; tina
it was a success popularity, the thousand
who f1ocked thither testify. 1t is esti
mated that on Thursday and Frida!
nearly 10000 persons visited tn,
grounds.
The Fifteenth Annual Fair is ended
Tired mothers throughout the State ar

fortunate winners of premiums and bet

failure; everybody has something t.
talk about, and all are glad that tn
State Fair is held but once a year.

There is to be q grand Republican
rally in front of the Occidental Hotel

heard something about the rally of the

have not been favored with their adver-

LAST DITCH" LITERATURE.

We declare our belief that this is just the
way to show to the world the strengthened
perhaps of the temperance people of Oregon
but of the TEMPERANCE REFORM PARTY. The
next election will decide the strength of the
Temperance party, whether there are TWO men
in it, as Mrs. Duniway sneeringly affirms, or
two hundred or two thousandl The men who
vote for Dimick are the men who say they
want the liquor traffic wiped out at all hazards;
the temperance men who do not vote for Dim
ick, say Temperance is a good thing, but
party is beLter."-[Star.
1t is noticeable fact that the men
who wish to effect any measure of re-
form "at all hazards" are the first to re-
tire beyond the reach of danger if, per-
chance, their ill-tempered zeal brings
on a conflict. The relevancy between
voting for Dimick and "wiping out the
liquor traffic" is not quite apparent. In
the first place, his election is utterly
impossible, as even the most fanatical
temperance man allows, so that every
vote cast for him only increases the
chances of the election of the only anti
temperance man in the field; in the
second place, were his seat in Congress
assured, his influence would be alto
gether Insignificant, and the 'liquor
traffic" would flourish as before. 1t is
perfectly useless, as well as most un-
wise, to strive
"With winds of airy threats
To awe whom YET with deeds we cannot"
The men who vote for Dimick, while
railing at party, say Temperance is a
good thing, but temperance reform
party is better" They will speedily
reach the "last ditch" but instead of
dying in it for "the benefit of the suf-
fering millions of the country they
will leap across, headed by G. Wash
ington D. himself, and become lost in
old party organizations, and the "haz-
ardous' fight will be over.
