MAJOR M'KINLEY's MOVE.
His Alleged Plan to Retain His Seat as n
Congressman.


From the Salem, o., Republican-Era.I
Major Mckinley has purchased and stockeda
farm in West township. this county, and will
build a summer residence there in the spring,
SO that in the event of gerrymander of the
State and Stark county should be thrown into
Democratic district the Major will become
citizen of COlumbiana county, in order to make
his calling and election sure We recognize
the ability and worth Of our honored Congress-
man, who has so faithfully served Us in the
past but we want to enter our solemn protest
against his fictitious removal to retain his seat
in Congress. Coumbiana county has good
men, whose ambition has been dwarfed by the
tenacious grip he had upon our people. The
very men who were loudest against Foraker for
a third term are the ones VINO would make a
COngressman's lease perpetual.
II the to be new district desires to call upon
an adjoining district for their Representative
1t is their privilege to do so, but 1t savors too
much of Briceism 20 remove from home for the
sake of office. We trust the Major will recon-
slider this move and stand the fight at home,
that Others may enter the field they aspire to,
and have chance to serve the people and
prove their fitness for the office.

ANDREW CARNEGIE.

He nameless sleeps who huilt the Pyramids;
Their mighty peaks in silent grandeur rise,
And vainly pierce the blue Of Egypt's Skies
For envious Time mans fondest hopes outbids,
And scatters dust upon his coodn lids;
Across the shining sands in blank surprise
The sphinx hath fixed her staring, stony eyes,
Yet tonzueless she to tell what fate forbids;-
But thou dost build noble monument
For here within these massive granite walls.
In quiet alcoves and in peaceful hooks,
Through shaded corridors and heightened halls
Thy name shall still be breathed among the books,
Though Time 'gainst thee his fateful shaft have
bent.

whites to Europe, his own race will realize on

tion ,citA U. s. Si.Jnal .yercice, central office,
Portland, Oregon. For ,oeek ending april
S6, 1890:
The temperature has been slightly above
the normal for the week. There was no
rainfall. The days were bright, with warm
sunshine, which was about the average.
Th e nights wer cool; light frosts, which
did no apparent damage, occurred on the
ODD. This has been the first week OF good
growing spring weather this season, and the
result is that vegetation has made marked
progress.
Winter wheat is invariably reported to be
in excellent condition. Spring seeding in
Umatilla county and in sections Of the val
ley counties is done, but most of it is about
being finished up. Early spring gram Is
up. Showers are desired in the Walla
INaila valley to give the late spring so"n
grain start. The effect OF too much rain
on wheat in the low lands is shown to have
been slightly injurious in tie Willamette
valley. Larger spring acreage than usual
is and has been sown.
All varieties of eruit trees in all parts of
the state, saYe in the more mountainous
sections of Eastern Oregon, are in full
bloom, and in many sections the peach and
cherry blossoms are falling. The frost on
the 23d did not injure the fruit. Wild
strawberries are in bloom. Grape vines are
budding out rapidly. In Wasco, Sherman,
Morrow, Gillian, back from the river, and
counties to the south the apple and cherry
trees are budding. The present outlook is
that peaches will be a short crop. but the
other fruit will be plentiful.
Spring seeding ia being finished. The
weather is favorable for the lambing season.
Sheep shearing will begin within the next
ten days. The grass is growing very rap
idly, affording good grazing. Vegetables
are becoming very plentiful, and gardening
IS generally being very rapidly pushed
The weather for the week has been all
that could be desired and all growing vege-
tation shows the favorable changes. The
season continues about two waeks later than
usual. b. s. PAGUE,
