FIRST SOCIAL SESSION.


Salem Lodge, No. 1896, Benevolent
and Patriotic Order Of Elks, held its
first social session Thursday evening
in its hall in the State Insurance
building. 1t was a very successful
affair and those enjoying the pleas
ures of the evening were unstinted In
their praise of the committee having
the affair in charge, viz: w. Darcy,
DIR. w. w. Contris and S. w. Thomp-
son.
Mr.. HenW Griffin, of Portland, was
happily introduced by Wm.J. Darcy,
and presided over the social session
of this popular order. Willis Dunl-
way, in a short address gave a COM
plete explanation of the Elks, the
branch in Salem being only recently
organized, and also of the aims and
objects of the order. Miss Matte
Southwick favored the assembly with
vocal solo and the appreciation Of
the assembly was evident from the
applause that followed. Mrs. Halle
Parrlsh-H Hinges rich voice was heard
in beautiful solo and Prof. Emil
Winkler executed difficult lnstru-
mental solo after his accomplished
and inimitable style. w. w. COntrls
and Douglas Minto were appointed
police at this point in the program.
The Heritage quartet, consisting Of
Prof. r. A. Heritage, Lee Steiner, H.
G. Kundret and Henry Wenger, next
appeared in one of their best selec-
tions. Mr.. Griffin, of Portland, then
favored the Elks with comic song
that was greatly appreciated. Gov,
w. p. Lord, Judge G. p WolvertOn,
Judge r. S. Bean and Adjutant Gen.
eral B. B. Tuttle were called upon
for vocal selection, but failing to
respond, each was fined % cents.
JEFF Myers, ''sage of the Santiam,"
made neat impromptu speech and
was fined 81 for "allOwing his buffa-
lOes to tresspass on other peoples
lands" Members of the Wizard Oil
number of whom are
of the Elks, arrived at this
point and gave an excellent program
Of vocal and instrumental selections.
Geo. Waters, who acted as secre-
tary and treasurer, was fortunately (?)
out of change when the members paid
their, fines, much to the disappoint-
ment Of those who were so unfortu-
nate as to have a fine imposed upon
them.
A delicious luncheon was served
and at late hour, this, the first
social session of the local lodge, was
happily ended. Many visiting Elks
we're present last evening and were
oud in their praises of the affair.

GoyERNoR-ELEcT pINdREE.

Mir. H. s. Pingree, who has held the office of mayor of the city of Detroit, Mich, eight con secutivc terms, being elected the last time by majority of over 5000 in spite of the opposition of nearly every newspaper and of all tho corporations of that city, is now tho Govcrnor-clect of Mich igan. having received the nomina- ton of the republicans and been elected on that ticket. Mayor Pingrce IS Il remarkable man and his course as governor of his state will Ike watched with unusual in- tcrest by tho entire country.
 He became famous and won the respect and hearts of the great mass of the people ni his city by his untiling opposition to tho un- just exactions of the corporate monopolies of Detroit and by the successful carrying out of his great ''potatoc scheme" whereby he not only relieved the poverty of the poor who could not get work; but aided them in becoming self-sustaining, thereby preserv- ing their manhood and indcpend- cncc.
 Briefly stated this scheme was to secure the use of tho vacant lots and tracts of land within tho city to be planted to vegetables by the poor who had no lands. The city piowcd the lands. furnished the

pr. Lyman Abbott, in an arti- ticle in the December Review of Reviews, in summing up the vital issues of the campaign of 1896, among other things says: Though the issues formulated in 1896 will never again be similarly formu- lated, the tendencies appearing in 1896 will certainly reappear in two great national organizations. Conservatism will be represented in the one party, radicalism in the other. A too staid and self satis- tied content will be tho fault of the one and too restless and ca ger demand for change the fault of the other. One will have too little, the other too much faith in popular government; the one will fear the excess of liberty, the other will be impatient of consti- tutional restraints; the one will tend toward Toryism, the other toward radicalism if not social ism.

seeds and a superintendent, giv- ing to those who planted and cnl- tivated tho crops all the proceeds. In 1894 the city expended $3,500 and there was harvested Sl4, ,0e0 worth of vegetables In 1895 the city expended 5000, and harv- ested $27, ,000 worth, thus giving hundreds of poor people, who would otherwise have been objects of charity to be cared for by the public, a chance to be self sustain ing and self-respecting.
 With the enlarged field of oper- ations and increased opportunities now before him as governor of q great state it will be interesting to read his recommendations and watch his efforts along the lines he has so successfully hewn his way as mayor of his city.
 If Governor Pingiee can as sue cessfully cope with and hold in check the trusts and monopolies that unjustly override law and the rights of the people. and in- auguratc public enterprises where by those among the poor seeking work can secure it and become self-sustaining instead of pauper beggars, he will place himself on the high road to the white house as President of the United States.
