BRANCHES ADMITTED.
The Order Spreads Over the whole
State.

The Order Spreads Over the Whole
State.
D. w. Whelpley succeeded to the
presidency. and had very successful
term, leaving the treasury in a flourish
ing condition, there being over $1,000 on
hand. a
President Whelpley was succeeded
July 5, 1877, by G.. H. Fairchild, and it
was during his term the order met its
first reverse and passed through dark
financial days, which, however, were
not sufficient to quell their ardor. 1t
was on the eighth day of October, 1877,
that the Pioneer Land and Loan bank,
of which j. G. Duncan wss manager,
suspended payment; and bv that failure
the society lost the whole Of its accumu-
lated funds. amounting to $1l53. This
disaster was the more felt in that on
the same day Lyle Pitts, one of the
members of the society, was drowned in
the Sacramento river, and the society
was at an expense of 5000 in recovering
his body and paying the subsequent
funeral expenses, which had to be met
by an assessment on it's members.
Up to December, 1877, the original
| San Francisco society constituted the
entire order. On December II, 1877,
application was made by native Califor-
mans residing in Oakland; and they
were organized as branch perlor by the
mother society, under the name OF Oak
| land parlor, No. g This was followed
by the inauguration OF parior No. 3 at
Sacramento on March %, 1873. The in
stitution of these branch parlor5 rem
dered it necessary for the San Francisco
parlorto adopt some distinctive name i;
and it selected the name OF Charter par
lor, No. l, by which it was designated
until June 1, 1878, when it adopted the
name by which it has since been known
California parlor, Nc. 1. For some
time afterwards each parlor retained its
individuality and, though working un-
der the same ritual and using the same
ceremonies, each practically claimed en-
tire independence. Although no serious
difficulty arose from this con-
dition of affairs. it was seen that, as the
order extended, conditions would arise
and circumstances demand concert OF
action by which there should be some
supreme governing power to make gem
branches, and to which an appeal could
be taken in cases of differences between
parlors or amongst their members. Cali
fOrnia parlor No. /, as charter parlor,
claimed this authority, hut was without
the power TO enforce it. 1t was arranged
to hold a conference Of delegates, COM
posed of five representatives from each
parlor, to meet at San Francisco, No
vember 20, 1873. The delegates met and
formed the first grand parlor of the
Native Sons of the Golden West. The
grand parlor has since convened annu-
ally, and the records OF it's proceedings

Mr.. J. Calvert Foy was educated in
the public schools, and joined the Ra-
mona parlor as charter member on
June 8, 1887, and for several
years was financial secretary
and secretary and was elected
president last January. Mr.. Foy, to-
gether with Mr.. Nordholt, was largely
instrumental in securing this session of
the grand parlor in this city, as at the
session in San Rafael in 1889 he worked
indefatigably until he succeeded in ac-
complishing that end.

BADLY NEEDED.

Our next legislature should do
something of and concerning our
penitentiary system. In the lit
tie state of South Carolina, the
superintendent reports that the
management has not only paid all
expenses but made a clear profit
of $4,000. Now why can't we
do at least twice as much. But if
nothing else is done, the conyicts
could be made to work upon the
state roads and be of incalculable
benefit to the people. Any change
would be better than the shame

and the extravagant folly of the
whole business. Why does not

DURING the past week>an import
ant case on the criminal docket
OF the circuit court has been dis
posed of. 7. Z. Prescott, of Alsea
bay, was arrested last June on the
complaint of Miss Eldrich, who al
legged that he had forcibly rayished
her person. He was tried before
the justice court, and was bound
over to await the action of the
grand jury. Mr.. Prescott is a man of
family, of good repute among his
neighbors. There was no evidence
against him other than the state
ment OF Miss Aldrich, and it was
evident that the prosecution was
actuated by sinister motives.
Nevertheless the grand jury found
a ''true bill,'' and the prosecution
pressed their claims vigorously at
The trial. The case attracted wide
attention OH account of the enor-
nifty of the offense, but an inlelli-
gent jury of prominent citizens re-
turned a verdict of s'not guilty.
And from the facts adduced in the
testimony they were justified in
doing SO. This was a case of eli
ther malicious prosecution OF
blackmail, aud the taxpayers oil
the county will have to foot the
bill of costs, and howl because
things are as they are.

A POLITICAL PUZZLE.

Hon. Lafayette Lane is consid-
erably bothered over political
puzzle, as 1t were. 1t is a we'll
known fact that Mr.. Lane was Bit
terly opposed to the fusion busl-
ness before election. In Roseburg
there were seventy-seyen straight
democratic votes cast. Since it
has been ascertained that fusion
failed to succeed, Mr.. Lane has
been congratulated by over two
hundred persons, who stated that
they also had voted the straight
democratic ticket. The query is,
what became of the extra one hum
dred and twenty three votes? Had
Weaver carried the state it is quite
probable that Mr.. Lane would
have found it an equally difficult
problem to find seventy-seven men
who voted a straight democratic
icket.-Roseburg PIaildealer.

ONCE more Thanksgiving day
has come and gone, and it is a
pleasure to note that it was uni
versally observed in Benton
county. AS day of universal
reverence, and national holiday
in a certain way, it is now duly
recognized throughout the land.
It is notably day of religious
observance, feasting and given up
to deeds of charity. This is day
when peace and plenty are appre-
eiated by the multitude and their
hearts are lifted up to rejoice and
spirit of thankfulness and con-
tentment prevails. 1t is a time
when the souls of the people are
stirred with charitable impulses
and the poverty-stncken and
afflicted are remembered with sub
stantial gifts. The world is better
for a proper observance of this
day and twill continue to be one
of the great days of the American
people.

built for thirty inmates, but there

would be better if parents could
use more Of the discipline required
in compelling the boys to stay at

s'howling success in the matter of

leading to the belief that several
of the larger car building plants

declaration that he firmly believed
that within the next ten years
nearly all the box, fiat and stock
cars used in the country will be
manufactured on the north Pacific
coast. The hindrances to The
planting of the industry in that
region have been a lack OF fuel
and material for making wheels:

these respects, and can now see

A PAPER WORTH HAVING.

The old saying that nothing succeeds
like success. . is well illustrated by the ca
reer of the Rural Northwest. which was
founded in Portland, Oregon, little over a
year ago, and has already established itself
as the leading agricultural paper of the Pa
cific northwest. Il is hardly necessary to
say that the success OF this paper Is simply
the result of merit. It is no cheap concern
made up of stereotype plates and stale clip
pings, but is bright, crisp and clear, filed
with original matter which hits the coudi-
tions that exist in tie Pacific MOI thwest.
Among fruit growers it Is an especial favor
ite, as it makes horticulture a leading fea-
ture, and gives the best aud fullest reports
published of the meetings of the state horti-
cultural societies of Oregon and Washing
ton, and includes among its regular contrib.
utors in this department. such men as Prof.
Lake, of the Washington agricultural col.
lese; Prof. Washburn, of the Oregon agri
cultural college, A. I. Hawley aud Others
of eminent ability. The dairy department
is maintained with no less vigor, as indi.

Live stock and poultry are not neglecte !,
and progressive agriculture is the spirit
which animatss the general management OF
the paper.
Among special features are its depart.
ments devoted to the "IIome Circle and
t:Among the Farmers" The latter depart

with this paper.

The prosaic following of street
car driving is to be no longer de-
spised. The possibilities of the
street car driver are great. The
Corvallis boy who ploddingly
whips up the horse that draws a

governor like Pennoyer. All this

We hasten to suggest that
Henri Watterson, of Ken
lucky, be made member of
President Cleveland's cabinet.
He represented the bold, aggres-
sive spirit that carried this cleo
ton, besides he is veteran journ-
alist and the press is entitled to
recognition. We are in hopes
that invested with the responsible
tiles of high Office Mr.. Watterson
will become conservative and fol-
low the teachings of Henry Clay,
who if he could, would have
e'adicated slavery from Kentucky
and made her great industrial
state.-Astorian.

Mr.. Cleveland's position is in
one sense an exceptionally hard
one. He was elected by a COM
bination of three political ele-
lnents-by the old line democrats,
the Tammanyites and the mug
wumps. Between these several
political forces there are no points
ofsynlpa.hy or affinity. They are
as wide apart in views, motives,
habits and tastes as the Hindu
castles. They hate each other with
a holy hatred. Elements divided
like these may sometimes be or
ganized for a political fight, but
they can never be brought into
cordial and continual support of
an administration. If Mr.. Cleve-
land shall administer his Office on
reform lines, he will please his
mugwump friends, but will antag-
onize the bulk of his support, who
are quite of another color. II, on
the other hand, he shall undertake
to satisfy Tammany, he will offend
the mugwumps and disgust the
country. There is no middle road.
Mr.. Cleveland must choose either
one or the other horn of the
dilemma, and in either event he
is certain to have a fight on his
hands. He faces, therefore, the
most serious problem which has
confronted any president since
Lincoln, without the strength
which united party support
would give him. 1t will be no
small job to carry out the pledges
of the democratic platform, and it
would not be surprising If Mr..
Cleveland should break down in
the attempt.-Pacific Rural Press.
