How familiar some OF the names; but
Jim Lotan's is not there. W s Newbury,
one of the men, has been in Albany this
week, and thinks his chances good. The
Oregon delegation though, SO far, cannot
agree. Besides some live, young blood
notice the old chronics like Watts, Moody,
Minto and a few others. The contest is
an interesting one.
STRANGE FREAK.-Mr Moses Parker
who lives in Center precinct, informs a
DEMOCRAT man of peculiar freak in the
conduct of turkey gobbler on his place.
Some time ago Mr. Parker observed that
the turkey was absent and he did not make
his appearance for two weeks, when he
made his appearance at the house hungry
as wolf Mr. Parker fed him and when
the turkey had satisfied his hunger he i'm
mediately started to leave the place. Mr.
Parker out of curiosity followed him to
ascertain where he was going, and to dis
cover the cause of his remaining away.
After going some distance he saw the tur-
key ensconce himself in a nest of Lens
eggs. Here he remained until four eggs
hatched out. Two of the chicks died but
the old turkey is carefully rearing the other
two, taking as much tender care of them as
is done usually By hen. Mr. Parker takes
this as certain omen of the election of
Cleveland.

THE PORTLAND INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION
las adopted the general plan Of secur-
ing for their exposition this year all the
exhibits intended for the Chicago fair of
1898. This plan, especially in regard to
Jared fruits, grain, minerals, or what
ever is not perishable or can be preser-
we'd, will be of great advantage to exhibi-
tors in the assurance OF superiority
which a successful exhibit at Portland
will give them. The exposition manage
ment viii carefully store such exhibits
free Of cost. Our people should avail
themselves of this liberal proposition,
and thus secure a good representation
both at Portland and Chicago, at the
least expense of time and money.
FELL IN WKLL.-The little Swear
old girl of John Henkle, of Philomath, had
a miraculous escape last Saturday /:
seems they had been cleaning out the well
and the covering had been removed. The
little girl was playing around the yard ,and
in her thougtiuless glee ran into the open
ing and fell to tAe bottom. The well Is
about as feet deep and had several feet of
water In 1t at the time. There was no
body near her when she fell, but some one
saw her disappear and gave the alarm.
When they ran to the rescue the little
girl was clinging to the bucket, which was
hanging In the well near the edge of the
water, and she was rescued, strange TO say,
without being injured .-Corvallis Times.
