DOLPH FORGETS.
One Of the Oregon Senators Scored
for Ingratitude.

Elwaco Treated Him Nicely and
He Proclatrns 1t ssa Little HAM
Iet',-Re is a Property owner,
toe, I'm Pacific County.
The Pacific Journal, of Ilwaco, remarks
Senator Dolph says there is only a small
hamlet on the Washington side Of the Co
lumbia river, at the mouth, where few
people spend the summer.
The senator is evidently nota land boom
er, yet we are satisfied he would want a
pretty stiff price for the block of land he
owns at Sea View. As it is calculated that
large percentage of Portland people visit
our beach, the few people" does not i'm
press one with Portland's population.
Then again, the senator is discourteous.
Some years ago the gentleman came over
to Ilwaeo, one afternoon in the fall of the
year Patriotic and gentlemanly citizens
proud to do honor to United States sena-
tor, hitched up the best horse in town, and
at the request of the senator, took drive
to the beach, and visited the senator's
property. The distinguished visitor stated
he was chairman of the committe on coast
defenses and fortifcations, and expressed
desire to visit Fort Candy. Steam was
gentleman from Oregon, in company with
the Judge and other shining lights of the
town, had his wishes fulfilled.
Several years later the senator again
visited our stopping place. Heh came un-
heralded, and registered at the Central
hotel Nose Freeland was the proprietor
of the hotel, and Nose was too good a re-
publican, too patriotic an American, to
not pay homage to a member of the
United States 'house of lords.' Nose, big
hearted fellow that he was, escorted the
senator over to the Judges Office and stated
that the gentleman desired trip to the
beach, "Bummer, the fastest horse in IL
waco, hitched to a pretty phaeton buggy,
was duly ordered and brought to the office,
and the senator and the judge droveoF. A
most pleasant ride was enjoyed, and Nose
had arranged fine supper after returning.
The senator seemed greatly pleased; he
promised to put the Judge on his 'tlist"
and send him garden seeds; but we pre-
sumo the seeds has never arrived, as his
honor has never made the garden.
No, senator, such sarcasm, to be so un-
kind as to call US a little hamlet-we who
have borne the honors of being the metrop-
OILS of Pacific county-no senator, it is not
right. 1t seems ungrateful. Rather sena-
tor, that IlWaco, would go democratic,
than speak those unkind words of US,
Probably, though, if you had been con-
stant reader of the "IIWaco Advance"
with its artistic headline, showing the
great guns Of Fort Candy, and the setting
sun "shines for all" /" things may have been
different. You would read where the
judge has been elected mayor; the elderly
gentleman that brushed "Bummer'' off,
and fixed the buggy up nice, is now the
postmaster. Nose is gone; so is Bummer
But then we have CITY attorney, town
council and marshal in their place. The
city attorney came shortly after your sec
ond visit. The marshal you probably
knew, he stopped at the same hotel.
No. In future United States senators
and colonels should not expect kind treat
ment at Ilwaco. 1t is true our leading citi-
zens are not possibly as particular regard
ing social relations as may be required,
but that is the fault of early training, not
OF the heart. We have large heart, it al
ways bulges out to the weak.
The republicans gave a banquet the other
night; among theguests two democrats and
a colored gentleman were seated about the
family board. That's sociability, and the
two democrats and the colored gentleman
that were inside, and the democrat that
was outside-that would not come in. al
though invited-when they left town they
spoke good word for US.
No, senator. We will try, but we can't
forgive you.
