Oakville Republicans.

The republicans of Oakvi1le,
Linn county, held their regular
meeting on Tuesday evening of
this week. J. Fred Yates of this
city had been invited to deliver
an address. AS he was born and
raised in the neighborhood, the
announcement that he was to
ispeak had the effect of bringing
forth to the muster place whole
host of his friends and school
mates. = Many of them had trav-
|eled several miles and they were
well repaid for their pains. The
address was able and patriotic,
and brought forth many hearty
rounds of applause from his en-
thusiastic listeners. The Shedd
orchestra, composed of seven
pieces, were present and dispens-
ed plenty of music for the occa-
sion that would have been credit
able before any audience. Two
carriage loads of candidates on
the republican ticket of Linn
county, were present, and each
responded with short and appro-
pirate remarks.
Hon. S. A. Dawson and Hon.
A. 7. Johnson, candidates for the
state senate, made rousing
speeches and ably discussed the
political issues of the day. Mr..
Dawson has already served four
years in the state senate and was
elected to that Office by one of
the largest majorities ever given
a man in Linn county. This
club, presided over by Jas. Y. Nc
Cune, is rapidly growing in num-
bers and enthusiasm. It is one
of the many horishing republican
clubs of that county, and the
times certainly seem propitious
for sweeping republican victory
over the river in Linn, in the
coming June election.

The Prohi's Nominate.

While the populists were en-
gagged in nominating a ticket
last Saturday at the court house
| the prof1ibitionists were holding
the fort in another part of town
for the same purpose. Rev. P.
B. Williams presided over the
asse1nblage and Rev. Frank
Abrarn Powell acted as secretary.
A sufficient number had volun-
teered to offer themselves up as a
sacrifice, to enable the conven-
ton to place a full ticket in the
field, which was as follows:
County judge, A. M. Herbert;
clerk, Prof. H. Sneak; sheriff, J.
L. Underwood; commissioner,
Joseph Taylor; assessor, A.
Parks; surveyor, Frank Glass;
coroner, R. Grant; recorder, A.
Gould; school superintendent,
Lillian Glass; representative,
Rev. P. B. Williams; joint sena-
tor, ]. M. Kitson. The platform
adopted favors tariff for revenue
only, makes the liquor question
the main issue and declares in
favor of the enactment of laws
abolishing the traffic altogether,
favors equal right of suffrage
irrespective of sex, asks for a re-
vision of the immigration laws,
advocates the election of presi-
dent, vice-president and United
States senator by direct vote of
the people, favors uniform law
regulating marriage, divorce and
social purity, and sanctions the
initiative and referendum.

given me and hoping for your success,

Should be Re. established.

H. F. Fischer, proprietor of the Cor
willis mills, recently purchased one and
one-fourth tons of sewing twine, the re-
naming stock of the Albany fax mill.
1t is as good an article. as to quality and
finish, as can be obtained in the east.
Considering the large quantity of thread
consumed on this coast and the adapta-
bility of the climate to raising the fiber,
the enterprise should be re-established.-
The price of labor has row deprecated
to point even lower than when the
mill was in operation. The failure of the
concern was due principally to the fact
that twine dealers in San Francisco
found out that up here in Oregon an
article was being manufactured equal in
quality to the output of eastern mills,
and was being placed on the market at a
price so low that the California dealers
could not compete with it. This led
them to purchase the Albany plant
which has since been closed out.

their intelligent expenditure of a few

later on, the girls were in for their
share, too And this is how it all
came about: At eleven O'Clock,

fruit-socks- -plug-tobacco applause
at the opera house, and other
things, suddenly became tired
too tired and sleepy, in fact, to
walk to his home up town, and as
he 1shappened'' to be near the Oc-
cidental hotel, concluded to retire
at once, which he did, registering
as Jones-plain, common, ordi-
nary, everyday Jones, from the
city. During the night, so he says,
he became quite ill. However that
may be, whilst reposing in the
arms of Morpheus, or elsewhere,
some one took his overcoat and
nice new patent feathers. But,
finally inducing mine host,
Schmidt, to come to his assistance,
he was rugged out in a job lot
and Mr.. Jones cut sticks up the
back alley.
