Col. Balm AT SALEM.
The Renowned Kentucky W. G. 7. U.
Champion Addresses large
Audiences.

Sunday two gatherings were held
to Advance the temperance cause.
The outdoor meeting at Marion
park was attended by several hun
dred persons. Rev Cline introduced
Col Balm, the Kentucky orator, and
he addressed the large audience ia a
very pleasing aud satisfactory man
ner. All who expressed any opiu.
ion declared it was the best ever
heard. The temperance people and
Methodists were out in full force
and the meeting was success.
A reporter was introduced to Col.
Balm after the speaking, and after
the sisters, with whom the gallant
white-haired, heavy moustached
Southerner is very popular, had sub
sided.
"How do you like Oregon ?n was
the question.
''I am delighted with your state, y
said the Colonel. "Verily, yours is
lovely land. This is the clearest
and most delightful atmosphere ]
ever talked in. 1t is the first out.
door meeting l have held on the
coast and l had no idea your all

ties.n
"You don't like it well enough to
come and live here" said the re,
porter with twinkle of his eye.
"You should see my lovely Ken
lucky house and realize my affection
for thoroughbred horses such as we
can only raise on blue grass, and
you would not ask me such a ques.
tion.n
"What do you find the state OF
the temperance cause in Oregon?"
"Well,n said the Colonel carefully
''it is not up to what we would like
to see. There is good deal of latent

A handsome collection was taken
up for the colonel, and he went tC
his room to rest.
THE EVENING MEETING.
The evening address was given in
the Nj. E. church, which was crowd
ed to the utmost capacity. The
speaker was introduced by Rev
Cline. Col. Baine is the most elo
quent speaker who has addressed al
audience from the M. E. pulpit. A
one time he would have his au
dience laughing and the next mo
ment he would touch the tones o
pathos and hundreds of persons
would be in tears.
His pero. 'ion to the republic 81
a man who was raised in TIC S0rtf
and had been taught to love the
South was one grand sentence o
eloquence. He said there was not |
man in all the South who wanted t,
see slavery again or desired an.
other flag but the grand old star
aud stripes. He said the South wa
in the wrong and they now saw it
but they did not see 1t until th
North came down and showed then
the wrong.
In regard to the temperance caus
there was one fact which surprised
him. That was that the North wa
not up with the South in this moye
ment, and il may be possible tina
the South would return the CON
pliment of the North, by wiping on
the liquor traffic.
He related many touching illus
trations and amusing incidents
His style of address is much lik
that of the great temperance lecture
John b. Cough, and he is not ia
behind that renowned temperate
, worker.

When Mr.. Andrew Young returned
from Alaska last fall he went out TO his
ranch on Youngs river to dig his po-
tatoes, says the Astoria, Orc. Express.
Passing hollow tree he noticed sever
al bushels already gathered. He looked
around the patch, he saw no signs OF
anyone having disturbed the ground
and to solve the mystery watched the
tree. He was soon rewarded by seeing
flock of blueiays alight on the tree,
and each bird had potato In It's bill,
which WINS dropped into AN opening in
n limb and passed on down TO the
ground. He procured sacks, and so
fast as one was filled another was put
Mt the place, and in this way tho birds
harvested fifty bushel Of potatoes for
him from various patches around the
