L, Il. OSBORNE,
President
MIR Wright desires 10 say that the
Board of Trade advertised for public
meeting, which was TO have been held
here last Monday evening, TO consider
the question OF demanding recount oI
the state, but as our citizens took but
little interest, thore were only few
thcre and nothing was done. lIc says
the question OF demanding recount
properly belongs 10 the business men,
officials and farmers Of Linn county Il
take the initiative steps, and then when
demanded, the Board ot Trade will dc
its part, and the matter is now left to
the consideration aud action OF the gen.
eral public of this city and county.
a NEieupoRLy AFFAIR, Sometime,
little neiehbotly quarrcls get into the Re-
corder's Court that should be settled In q
more friendly manner Such case hap
pened Saturday evtnlng, In which cou.
pie respect lble citizens were interested.
One Gcighbor's child called a Lelghbor's
little girl what was very Insulting and un
deserved, aud Il made the father mad, and
having been repeated several times. hc
went to the father OF the offender and

OpR CENSUS KICK. As Kicking on the
census Is fashionable why shouldn't Linn
county get m aud DO some OF IT. Under
the program pursued hy other counties
probably NO county Ia Oregon has bct n
used quite as badly as Linn eouaty. The
proportion in Mullnomah county, for the
last state election was l vote for SS7 pop
ulaiion under the revised count. As there
are probably more families In this county
proporiionatrly than there the proportion
here should be equal to at least that In
Mu,tnomah county. The vote la Linn
county IN the June election was 1oS: for
Congressman. That multiplied by ( 81
produces 1878. IrStead OF that Kclley
gives us 1890. Taking as the ratio and
We would have over 10000, W ich we
should undoubtedly have.

its Sccord mile at greater speed, which
proved too mucn for the corpci oeity of
the driver, who was tuu.blcd out into the
dust, the buggy tipping over, TO lis mater
ial damage. The justice was picked up
and found IT, good condition, bu, declared
he had had enough OF horse training. He
was heard to request tho owner Of the out.
g., who was watching the speeding, to
keep siill and he would have the buggy
fixed all right.
