OREGoN's NEW SENATOR.
What a Leading Chicago Democratic
Daily Has to Say of Him.
(Cyhicago Herald.l


The senator from Oregon, Mr.. Nc
Bride, has been for many years an In,
valid. A few weeks ago he was in
New York for special treatment and
his niece, Mrs. Marshall Cushing, OF
this city, spent a month at his he'd
side nursing him. Mr.. Mcbride was
at that time in very low spirits and
when urged by his friends to return to
Oregon and make fight for the SEN
atorShip, replied that ne was too near
deaths door to think of such thing
Besides" he added, Senator Dolph is
my friend. / will stand by him to the
last" Mr.. McBride's friends endeavor-
ed to convince him that an election to
the senate, opening out new career
for him, might save his life by having
something to live for, but Mr.. Nc,
Bride would not take this optimistic
view of the situation. At the last mo-
ment he comes to the front as a winner
Of the long contest with no treachery
to his friend, Senator Dolph. Ten or
twelve years ago Mr.. Mcbride was
thrown from a wagon and severely in
jured. He has been a cripple ever
since, and much of his life has been
passed in bed. oven while wasted
with sickness and tortured with pain
his iron win and indomitable energy
have enabled him to accomplish more
than most men in perfect health could
do. While secretary of the state of
Oregon he caused a room at the capi-
tol to be fitted up as a chamber and
transacted the business of his Office
while lying in bed Before his acci-
dent he was a great lover Of outdoor
sports, an enthusiastic horseman and
a dead shot with rifle. He has pas
sion for owning land and is rich. He
is not married

A year ago today Albert Dunbar was
cogttating in his own mind whether
to so to Portland and look for a situa-
ton or open up store for himself in
this city He came to the conclusion
THAT Astoria was on as good a road to
prosperity as any other town In Amer.
lea, that there was as much money
paid out here by the cannerymen every
season to fishermen as there was gold
produced by all the mines in Oregon.
1t did not take him long to decide what
his future course would be-and the
building where he is now located was
rented and soon after occupied with
a small hut first-class stock of dry
goods and notions, Everything he
handled was of the best, and with his
thorough knowledge of the business
he stands today with a trade that
would be a credit and JOY to a much
larger house than his. Still, ne says
this is but beginning.

AS a rule the citizens of Clatsop coun-
ty liable to poll tax are not familiar
with the recent order of the county
court doing away with the old idea
of working out their tax, and in its
stead imposing a 50 levy, together with
a two-mill special tax levy in conform
ity with Aarticle 4, Section 4OS4, of the
Oregon road laws, the money to be
turned over to the supervisors and
they to improve the roads and pay fol
the labor in cash. OF course there is
a big kick, and it is a remarkable fact
that large majority of the kickers
finally wind up their argument with
a claim that they are over so years of
age, land not liable to poll tax

Down in the burnt district last night
the scene presented a picture of Astoria
during the palmy days when salmon
crawled over one another in their eff
forts to navigate the Columbia, and
twenty dollar gold pieces were as plen-
tiful as they are now scarce. Every
saloon was crowded with thoroughly
cosmopolitan crowd, and knock down
and drag OUTS occurred in several
places. 1t was good-natured' crowd
on the whole, and gave the police force
but little trouble. Where the people
came from is a mystery, and many
strange faces were seen among the
crowd. 1t was forerunner of what
will be when the railroad construction
begins.
