Full particulars about the Shadow
Social, to be given next Friday evening,
in tomorrow's CHRONICLE.
Some of the prisoner in the Umatilla
county jail made an Intellectual attempt
Monday night last to escape from their
bondage. The door of the cell was
opened by means of a leaden key which
the prisoners made out of chunk of
lead melted on a tin platter, but morn

break through the outer brick wall.
Capt. Pratt was illustrating last even
ing how unanimously the democrats in
his Salem precinct turn out to vote at
the republican primaries. In his prim-
ary last December, 159 votes were cast
for mayor. These were, 70 democratic
and eighty republican. At the last re-
publican primary election 134 votes were
cast; this left but twenty-five democrats
in the precinct, but, says Capt. Pratt,
''the full seventy-five turned out when
the democrats held their meeting
Last evening Mr.. Geo. A. Young of

mills in Oregon, the Pioneer of Salem,
and, when it was dedicated, with a CO.

New Potatoes.

The 18th of April is early for new
potatoes in this latitude, yet the family
of ]. N. Smith, who live mile from
town, on what is known as the old
Doherty place, ate their first meal of
new potatoes yesterday. They were
about the size of hens eggs, and one of
the boys who gathered himself around
half dozen of them, smaked his lips
at the recollection as he said: ssThey
were good" with marked emphasis on
the were. Now ye benighted citizens of
the efete East, who yet sit shivering
around winter fires, while snow and
frost fill the landscape without, what
think ye of new potatoes on the 18th of
April, grown in the best country on the
footstool of the Almighty?

HOOP RIVER, Or, April 4, 1892.
To the combined delegation to the Re-
publican State Convention from Wasco,
Sherman and Gillian counties.
Gentlemen: Inasmuch as my name
is likely to come before you as candi-
date upon the legislative ticket, and
since, by reason of sickness in my fam
lily, shall probably be unable to attend
the convention, I have thought that
some statements from me would be
proper.
should be glad to meet you face to
face and to discuss with you those ques-
tions which you must take into account
in naming such parties on the legisla-
tive ticket as will be acceptable to the
people in the coming election.
will say to you in the first place that
nobody owes me anything politically. I
am not a politician and have no interests
to promote further than those which
take hold of all thinking men who de-
sire the success of whatever is just and
right, and who insist upon things clean
and practical in politics and legislation.
If am in the field at all as candi-
date, it is because those who know me
best have desired to recommend me for
your consideration. For this evidence
of the good opinion and confidence of
my neighbors, trust am not migrate
full.
heartily endorse the various resolu-
tions adopted by the county convention
of this county, and in the event of my
nomination and election. I assure you
that every just and proper measure will
receive my careful consideration and
conscientious vote, and I am satisfied
that possess courage sufficient to stand
by the interests of the people, of whom I
am one, all influence to contrary not
withstanding.
In conclusion allow me to express the
hope that unity of purpose and harmony
in action will characterize your labors in
the convention and that ours shall be the
Uactory an June. Yours Very Truly,
THos. r. Cook.

Letter from Mr. Thomas r. Coon.

The two following letters explain
themselves. The CHRONICLE, from its
own personal knowledge confirms the
opinion of Mr.. McCorlxle. Mr.. Coon is a
gentleman of fine educational and busi-
ness capacity, and ability, true man in
every sense of the term, and one whose
reputation for honesty and probity, is as
broad as the circle of his acquaintance.
We can pay him no higher tribute than
to say that he will get his largest vote
where he is best known.

BUILDING A CHARTER.
Two Committeeman Assemble and Do
Some Work.
They Recommend a City Clerk. the
Auditor and Assessor to be
Distinct and Dual Office.

Only Clinton L. White, of the Legis-
lative Committee, and S. B. Smith, of the
Executive Committee of the Freeholders,
were present last evening at the joint
meeting of these committees. Secretary
Lincoln White and three reporters were
on hand, however, and it was resolved to
go to work.
1T was agreed that there be City Clerk,
and the two gentlemen proceeded to de-
fine his duties.
AS the first section under this head,
Mr.. Smith moved the adoption of Section
u of the Los Angeles charter, with one or
two changes. The Clerk shall have the
custody of all the books, papers, records,
etc, Of the city not in use by other Off
GERS. He shall have power to take atfi-
davits and administer oaths, and be re-
sponsible for the corporate seal. He shall
be present at all meetings of the Board OF
Trustees, and keep record of its pro-
ceedings. He shall file all ordinances,
and keep his books open to public in
spection, and deliver to the City Auditor
/ all licenses and receipts for water rates.
| Section provides that his term of office
! shall be two years.
! MIR. Smiths proposition was to COM
bine the offices of City Auditor and City
| Assessor. The Assessor worked only
two or three months in year. By COM
/ bining these two offices a person having
! business with both offices would always
| know when and where he could find such
! official.
Mr.. White agreed that this was a good
! suggestion, and the first section under
| this head was made to read as follows:
THE Auditor shall be exof1icio AS
! SCISSOR"
| AS Auditor, he shall keep a record of
the number of all claims allowed, and the
| exact amount OfmOney in the City Treas
ury. He shall report to the Mayor and
| Board Of Trustees, once a month, the
exact condition Of the city's funds
! He shall issue all licenses and
receipts for water rates and turn the
| same over to the proper officials for
collection. Every demand before being
paid shall be verified by the oath of the
claimant or someone in his behalf. Before
approving of claim he must be satisfied
that it is legally due, and that the fund
from which the sum is to be drawn con-
tains sufficient money to pay such claim.
AS Auditor he shall also keep posted
i'll his office list of the city officers and
the salary received by each, and this list
shall be revised and corrected by him
monthly, and be at all times open to pub
| lie examination.
The Auditor shall hold Office for a term
of two years.
The meeting then adjourned. Tonight
the Freeholders will hold their regular
