oREooNIAN's sLANoER AGAINST
MARION COUNTY REPus-
LICANS.

The oregonlan a short time ago
published what IT. claimed to be
statement from Salem man. u
said n we'll informed Salem man IN
Portland, made the following state
ment: "The Republican convention
OF Marion county was a farce as far
as representing the reputable element
of the party is concerned. 1t was
due largely TO delegates elected In
reference to Ford for congress; with
out looking at the tax roll, and merely
upon the knowledge OF conservative
business men, less than one-half OF
the Salem delegates were taxpayers,
the rest non-taxpayers."
THE JOURNAL has carefully looked
into this charge against the members
OF the convention, and finds that II Is
absolutely false In every particular
First, the Marion county delegates
were not selected In reference toFort
for congress, but on the CONTRARY
all the candidates for Legislative ant
county offices were favorable to Mr.
Ford for congress, and In the selec
tlon Of delegates at the primaries !
was given out, aud generally under
stood that whatever set of delegate
should be elected they would b
friendly TO Tllmon Ford for congress
There can be no dlsputing the fac
that Mr. Ford's legislative record ha
made him u multitude OF war
friends In Marion county; and whi
TIM JOURNAL has advocated u
claims OF Mr.. Hermann for renom
nation Il has done so, we'll KNOWN
that II the nomination for congre
should come to Marion county, tn
Mr.. Ford would be decidedly d
choice OF Its people, and The Jou
NAL has made no personal fig
against him In publishing Mr.. III
mann's claims for denomination.
Again. the personnel Of that conyC
tlon was largely composed of the II
mers aud business men OF Mari
county, many OF them being amo
It's most heavy taxpayers.
IL Is true, that there were quit
Aumber Of young men In that cony
tlon, but they were mostly the sons
prominent farmers, and business II
of this county, many of whom W
born aud raised upon Marion count
soil.
The convention unanimously
lected as It's chairman Hon. Wini
Waldo, ex-state senator and ex.pr
dent of the Oregon senate, man
considerable means, and a son OF I
grand old pioneer, Daniel Waldo,
1t can he truthfully said, that
more representative body OF men ,
assembled IN Marion county
those who composed that convent
Every one acquainted with the NJ
hers OF the convention Is well aV
that the false and slanderous cha
made against its members origin
either In the brain OF the et
of the oregonian, or else In
splenetic mind of.some disgrnr
Marion county politician, who
himself slighted because he wa
selected as delegate to go 4
convention and assume the role
would.be boss.
We miss our guess II the OregC
does not soon learn that nothing
be gained by making such fOu
slander0ns charges against repn
Marion county citizens.

Terrible Tiger-Hunting Adventure.

British officer in India had gone
out upon an elephant in search of a
tiger, which had just killed a man and
two bullocks within half a mile of
camp. The hunt was brief, and the Off
Ger presently got two shots at the tiger,
but without killing him. The jungle
was heavy, and it was already getting
dusk when the servant touched the off
Ger from behind and said, There he
is! The adventure is best described by
the man himself, as quoted by General
Wilkinson. The tiger was lying with
in ten yards of me, unable to rise as l
afterward found out, from his loins be-
ing broken. Seeing that he was not
dead, however, l was in the act of TAX
ing up my rifle when something struck
me on the back and jammed me to the
front of the howdah. l had just time
to lay hold of the branch of a tree and
pull myself out of the howdah, other
wise my back would have been broken.
Then the frightened elephant ran away.
and left me suspended Immediately
over the tiger, which lay looking up at
me, growing and lashing his sides.
You may imagine my feelings. In vain
L tried to get into the tree, and at last
my fingers becoming cramped, l lost
my hold and fell on the tiger 1t was
like dropping into the jaws of death.
The instant l touched the ground, the
tiger with a terrific roar seized my left
foot in his mouth, and with one bite
crushed the heel and ankle-bone to
powder. Then he gave me three other
bites, two on the calf of the leg and
one on the knee, every bite breaking
the bone to pieces. My agonies were
dreadful. In vain | called for help,
but after a struggle l got my right leg
free and gave the tiger a tremendous
kick on the head, which induced him
to let go. Instantly l got up and hob
bled to the foot of the tree, where 1
fell exhausted, with the tiger still a
few PAGES off. The sepoy, who had
been with me il the howdah, had lodg-

Travellers Tales.
4 Night on a Precinice.


Mr.. Z. A. Fitzgerald, in his Climbs
in the new Zealand Alps" gives the
following graphic account of a night
spend the night This was ledge some
impossible to spend the night where
We were, hanging on to narrow lodges
of rock, covered with thin ice: we were
obliged slowly to retrace our steps for a
little, till we should reach a spot where.
l thought, it might be possible to
spend the night. his was a ledge some
fourteen feet long and eighteen inches
broad, on which the three of us could
just manage to sit. 1t seemed to us as
sheltered a place as any upon this
slope, but should any great fall of
stones really come down upon us in the
night, feared that we should have had
a small chance of escape. No sooner
had we seated ourselves than we heard
the ominOus whizz of falling stones.
This was but the commencement of a
cannonade that we found was to be
Kept up at intervals throughout the
night. The rocks flew past us, so close
at times that we could almost feel the
never dared so much as close an eye
all night, for fear of slipping into the
abyss below. The cold became intense,
the thermometer dropping to 25 de-
grees, and as most of our garments
had been soaked in wading through the
melting snow during the day, our
things froze hard. Harper took off
his boots and placed his feet into his
knapsack or "swag," as the Colonials
call 1t, so that, had he fallen, he could
not possibly have recovered himself.
Zurbriggen also took off his boots and
sat upon them to keep them warm for
the morning, lest they should become
frozen tight and he would not be able
to get into them again. We did our
best to keep up our spirits through that

MExICo'S NEW BOAT.
A Warship Now Being Built for Her a!
New Orleans.

A reporter went up to Walnut street
to see the boat that is being built there
for the Mexican navy, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. 1t is the
first boat that this government has had
constructed in the United States and if
the experiment is a success other boats
will probably be built. Lieut.. Othon
P. Blanco of the Mexican navy hap
pened to be on the grounds at the time
and he told all about the making of the
boat and it's use in Mexican waters.
The contract was awarded about two
months ago to V. Zuvich of this city,
who was to deliver the craft to the
Mexican government within five
months. The builder decided to pa
tronize home institutions, so he pur-
chased his material from the local
firms. The boat has cypress ribs; will
be planked ON the bottom and sides
thick; will have pine planking between
the decks and will be finished in oak
The length is 65 feet by "a feet beam
by II feet depth and the draught will
be 21a feet. When completed the tota.
height will be "a feet The heavy
armament will consist of two guns, one
in the bow, the other in the stern.
These and the small guns will be
placed aboard the boat after it has
been delivered to the Mexican govern
ment and is in Mexican waters. The
cost will be $4,000. Lieut.. Blanco, in
speaking about the boat, said that it
would be used on the coast of Yucatan
and mostly in the Cheturnal bay. Into
this bay flows many rivers, from which
much mahogany is RATED. Formerly
the Yucatan Indians owned all the land
about the head of these small, shallow
streams, but recently the Mexican gov
ernment took possession of this prop
erty. By this action the Yucatan In
dians were deprived of lucrative busi
ness and the government has not been
