FROM NORTH BEACH.

Edmund Croft, candidate for represen-
tative, William B. Mack, candidate for
auditor, and Hon. j. j. Carney, of Elma,
returned Tuesday evening from a cam
paign trip to the North Beach, and are
loud in their praises of the country and
hospitality Of its people.
Monday an address was delivered by
the above named gentlemen at the Boom
Creek school house to large audience
of the brightest looking pioneers to be
found in the world and the fairest ladies
in the land. After the speaking was over
the ladies took charge of the meeting and
a lunch was served that could no, be i'm
proved upon. The trio say that they will
always have warm spot in their hearts
for the people Of North Beach and long to
return soon to enjoy the repasts served al
the hotels, De Rogers at Oyehut, Ben
Grigsby's and Mrs. Hennigar's at Chepa-
lis, at which places the tables fairly
groaned beneath the load Of geese, can
vas back ducks and other good thin e
that charm and delight the campaignel
on his weary rounds. Edmund Croft in
sured his chances of election by telling
the ladies that after partaking of such {
hospitality that he should certainly vote
for woman suffrage, if elected.

No man living can pack more meaning
into few words or paint the evils Of the
rum traffic in more truthful and graphic
form than John G. Wooley. Witness the
following paragraph from a recent adj
dress: "a saloon the squid Of life's high
sea with vibrant tentaclos that suck the
sap Of business, honor and pride, and
strength of youth, and labor's wages, and
the blood of human hearts, and squirts
ink into the crystal wave Of every provi-
dencs Of rescue while it seeks its cave and
slams the door OF Christian law into the
face OF Christ. Pyramids OF barrels each
monogrammed with the nations signet.
Ranks and platoons Of bottles dressed to
a city license on the right-the liquor
laws, militia, body.guard, each bemedall-
ed OH it's hemlet with federal insignia,
the keeper, cuffed and aproned,
brusque and business like, on duty at the
bar. In closet in the rear, hidden away
like stolen dog-a man dead drunk in
his soul, but in his body writhing on the
grill OF restlessness-a good man three
days since, but now creature ready to
commit murder for stoup OF rum."

Brief History &eo..a.

Ocosta is an ancient town chiefly in.
habited by tribe historically known as
the Clameaters, who dwell in wooden
huts.
The chief of this tribe, Deckermug "a
lineal descendant of the ancient chief, Van
Siwash) is u fairly intelligent individual.
He has ceased wearing a blanket and
mocassins, and is learning to speak our
language, some words: such as dollar"
'real estate, he can pronounce perfectly.
On approaching this ancient city, you are
met by the chief and requested to hand
over all you have with you in the way Of
greenbacks and other such trifes; in Ie-
turn, he with native politeness hands
you piece Of paper emitting you to a
small strip of land in his territory-of
course this is valueless.

A pleasant taffy.pull was recently held

White & Brewer are cutting shingle
bolts at lively rate OH w. Curriers'

John Balths has been hard ut work on
his potato crop the past week. He re-

Mr. Buch, OF Elma, is putting in saw

w. II. Ray, the prosperous farmer from
up the creek was in town Saturday. He
says there is "no show for the Populists
no how"
The shingle mill has adopted the eight
hour system, not so much because OF the
Populist speeches in town as to enable
the Jolly old bachelors to cook and eat
their morning meal and get to work on
time.

The citizens of Ocosta were addressed
last evening at Unity Hall by the follow
ing named gentlemen: Edmund Croft,
j. f. Lyons and w. b. Mack, candidates
on the Democratic ticket for the positions,
respectively, of member of the legislature.
county clerk and county auditor, and by
John J. Carney, who was introduced as
the Democratic war horse of Chehalis
county. DIR. j. S. Walston, candidate ior
coroner, presided as chairman but could
not be induced to make speech. Mr..
Lyons, who is the present county clerk,
gave an account Of his stewardship in a
very intelligent and satisfactory manner.
Mr.. Croft told OF some of the reforms
needed in our laws and promised if elect
ed to do his share toward bringing about
these much needed changes. He said he
was farmer, and, Cincinnatus like, was
called from the pillow to be the candidate
of his party. Mr.. Mack modestly declin-
ed to make a speech as speecli-making
was not in his line, but though he was
qualified to give the people good service
in the capacity Of auditor. Mr.. Mack is
known to be one OF the most active and
capable business men in the county.
Mr.. Carney's speech was confined mostly
to discussion OF the tariff and he han.
died the subject in an able manner. He
showed wherein free trade in lumber in.
stead of being an injury to Washington
would result in benefit as it would greatly
increase our foreign trade. Free wool
lie said had opened up Australian ports
to Washington lumber, and this trade
alone was worth great deal more than
our coastwise and interior home trade
While British Columbia would be oul
competitor in the California market thi'
would be more than ovcrbalanced by tho
Australian trade from which we were Gu
off under the Mckinley tariff.

Another bank scandal is threatened
in Italy which may put even the Banca

Credit Mobiliere, which have long been
current, have now taken more con-
crete form, group Of shareholders hav-
ing formally presented petition to the
tribunal at Turin, bringing the gravest
charges against Signor Frascasa, mana
ger Of that bank, and demanding ju-

What is your part in the temperance
movement? you ask. What can you do ?
If no more, remember that "while you
are but Que, you are one," and place
yourself openly and avowedly, whether
you are little child, boy, a girl, youth,
maiden, man or woman on the side Of
total abstinence. So, one by one, will
many steadfast wills build up a public
opinion, as they are building it up every
day, until no saloon keeper shall dare
thrust the reeking glass into the trem-
bling hand helplessly thrust out for it,
and no man shall willingly touch penny
that has contributed to the making Of a
drunkard.

OCosTA, Oct. II, 1894.

OCOSTA, OCt. II, 1914.
BIOGRAPHY OF THE WHARF DEAL.
The hard times of two years past
Having made it necessary,
For some people to move out fast
To their wishes quite contrary.
1t SO happened in our town, Sir.
There was a vacancy in the city council
Then there were gatherings plenty
OF members OF the Ocosta Land Company.
To pick man out of twenty.
Such as they wanted were not many.
To chose man that in with them stood
They selected O. A. Sherwood.
Having majority of members and
To make it appear there was nothing naughty,
Though some were old offenders,
Deckey went to Cincinnati.
AS Mayor pro tenn, was chosen in the Atelier.
Coughlan, OF the Land COmpany's Pioneer.
Then they proceeded with business.
All members present and through the vista
Could be heard Sherwood. The Locum tonens.
Better known as the Sage of Ocosta.
AS with right hand his bcardless chin he stroke
Standing in the council chamber those he spoke
at is not always for the public good
That the dear little public should
Know what is going OH in council chambers,
otherwise the doings of council members;
Therefore, as time is fecting
I move we hold an adjourned meeting"
When with their secret meetings they were
alone,
Where there were none their shameful plans to
dwarf,
RI 4,
The purchase of the Land Company's wharf.
Though they wear clean ties, cuffs and collars.
Their dirty job cost the city ten thousand dol
In acknowledgment for his services
Sherwood was by them for mayor nominated.
But we swarmed in on him through all ereviccs
And his little doom anihlated.
Oh my, how him and the rest of that pack,
We over that wharf did whack, whack, whack
Being beaten and sorcly disappointed
Deckey took him under his protecting wing.
AS high priest he had him anointed,
1t took little trouble to do the thing.
Having his heart set on it, being no deceiver.
Had him appointed Ocosta Land Company s
rec eiyer.
Strange how some people through these hard
times prosper.
Sherwood for instance is one in the land.
This people know is true us gospel
Used to keepa candy and peanut stand,
Selling papers pencils, pens aud marbles,
Also an assortment of dime novels.
But now his place is in the bank building,
Next door to Deckebach's bank When you're
around
Give him call. He is always smiling,
For he keeps the neatest gents furnishing store
in town.
lie has earned it all no doubt by honest hard
work
Has Sherwood. The Populst nominee for
county clerk.

when People Vote as They Pray.
The flag OF the United States will cease
to fly over drunkard factories.
Tie slums of our large cities will cease
to sway the destinies Of the Republic.
The brothel, the gambling-den, and the
dive will seek more congenial cline.
The alliance between a corrupt money
power and a corrupt liquor power will be
forever broken.
Wage-earners will be able to carry their
wages home on Saturday night.
School children will no longer come to
the afternoon session too booty from the
beer they got at lunch to learn anything.
There will be call for one million EN-.
ployees, who are to-day out of work and
don't know where to find it.
Tens of thousands of mothers whose
hearts are breaking and wives whose
homes are hell in miniature will learn
again how to smile.
The increased demand for coal and car
pets, for flour and beef, for shoes and
clothing, for books and pictures, will
make business boom rs all the tariffs on
earth never could make it boom.
Thousands and tens of thousands OF
new homes will be built, and the carpcn-
ter, the mason, the plasterer, and the
plumber will forget how to loaf.
Two and onc-half million drunkards
now on American soil will have a chance
to sober up and stay sober.
a new Pentecost will descend upon the
churches, and cowardice in the pulpit
will no longer be at premium.
