California.
County Commissioner Warren
lost a valuable horse a few days ago.
The cause of death not known. 1t
was found dead in the lane near Mr..
Farward's place.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Downing, of
Salem, are spending a few days
with Mrs. Downing's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. w. T. Patton.
w. T. Patton spent last week at
his mountain ranch near Silver
Creek Falls, where he keeps his
cattle during the spring and sum-
mer months. The grass having suf-
ticiently started and danger from
wild poison past, he will drive his
cattle to their summer pasture some
time during the latter part of this
week.
Eighteen or twenty persons met
Mt the school house Saturday after
noon, April p, in the name of the
Republican club, and the meeting
was addressed by Prof. M. G. Lane
and E, a. Downing, of Salem, Mr..
Lee, of Aumsville, and Hon. John
a. Hunt, j. NJ. Rogers and Charles
Jamison, of Clymer, followed by u
short address from w. j. Humph-
reys, president of the club. An in
vitation was received from Whitea-
ker for the next meeting of the club
to be held at that place. 1t was de

Our latest "fad" is-the bridge.
Now this particular bridge is simply
an Ordidary bridge across a little
SJlGtiIll, uCttI JIlO ItSlOGuCC vi IL hl'
Jones, where the young people of
the neighborhood assemble Sunday
afternoons, to vile away the hours.
Whether it is the genial and cordial
entertainment of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones, the charming and fascinat-
ing society of the Misses Jones, the
affable and courteous manner of
Jones, Jr., or some mysterious charm
about this especial bridge, is Il prob
lem yet unsolved. Other bridges in
the neighborhood apparently do not
possess this wonderfully magnetic
power, and no doubt ere long some
enterprising individual will erect an
ice cream stand at one corner of the
bridge, where the country swain in
company with the idol Of his heart,
can partake of this refreshing deli
cacy, which will add pennies to the
pockets Of the enterprising individ-
ual, and enjoyment to this now
famous resort.

Portland Notes.

A visitor to Portland says there
Is great. business and building
activity. South Portland and Sell
wood are building up very fast. The
stark street ferry seems nearly de-
serted. The street railroad conveys
one from Morrison street, across the
willamette bridge for a mile or
more, north or south in East Port
land for five cents. Now it is pro-
posed to extend it to Mount Tabor
one way, to Sellwood in another
direction and to Vancouver. The
car stops near the L street o. & G.
depot, and takes the traveller into
the city for the same nickel that
would convey him over the Stark
street ferry. These street railroads
make suburban property practically
In town, and it is rapidly increasing
in value.

In discussing the prohibition
question the Portland News uses
the following strong argument:
st. John, the apostate, instances
the vote for Fremont in 1856 to eX-
ample the vote that the prohibitions
lists will get in the coming Novem-
ber-that the parallel between the
parties is Identical and that pro-
hibition will prevail as did the abol-
ition of slavery. This is sheer non
sense in Mr.. st. John, and nobody
knows better than himself that it is
transparent absurdity. This parallel
is all moonshine. There is no anal
ogy as concerns old abolitionism
and prohibition. Abolitionism had
to do with an enslaVed race. Pro-
hibition is the denial of the right Of
personal liberty in particular form,
and compulsion to conform to the
ideas and dicta of others. Still, the
abolition of slavery came at last
through the results Of the most des-
tructiVe war in history, in blood and
treasure. Shall there be a repetition
of that war to secure prohibition?
Must we slaughter men to secure
prohibition?

holders of the Reading Railroad Terminal
Company held meeting Saturday and
elected officers identical with those of the
Reading Railroad. Wharton Barker is
the only outsider in the enterprise, and
he represents the finance company that
has bought the right of way Not a thing
can be done, however, until councils give
the company permission TO bridge the
streets, and formidable opposition is
being formed to this, chiefly because the
plans call for the bridging Of Broad street
at tCallowhill and Arch street at Eleventh,
and partly because the company proposes
to retain its surface tracks for freight
trains. According to the plans il would
be quite an easy matter to bring Balti-
more and Ohio trains into the Twelfth

panies should ever come to good under
standing. The elevated railroad begins
