HON. C. E. LITTLEFIELD

said in part: The people that live in
this district have the high privilege of
voting next September for the most dis
tinguished living American statesman,
Thomas B. Reed. (Great chsers.) We
had hoped be might have been at the
head of the national ticket. We have
magnificent candidate in that glorious
citizen and soldier, VIM. Mckinley of
Ohio. 1t is all important that Maine
should speak with no uncertain sound.
| You all have an int rest in casting your
| vote in favor of the integrity of the gov
eminent and the intelligence of the peo-
pie. Previous TO 1892 all the mills in
your vicinity were running all the time
and paying men good wages, and you
all had chance to work six days in the
week and get six days pay for it. The
Democratic orators came In '92 and to
you that your tin pail you carried to
the mill was taxed. They said they
would do away with that tax and make
your good times all the better Unfort-
unately some of US believed them and
you all know the result. Now, the
Popocrat orators have decided that they
want to increase che prices instead of
lowering them and they have suddenly
discovered that terrible crime was COM
mitted IN 1873. The crime of '73 never
begun to get in its deadly work till Prof.
Wilson and his oonferees began to shell
the prosperous industries of the country
with their British free trade shot
The speaker ridiouled the idea of q
'surreptitious crime. (which it took three
years to accomplish.

The Clerk Paid the Mole.

During Andrew Jackson's Presi-
dency a certain clerk in the Treasury
Department showed a marked disin-
cination to pay his board bill. He
had signed notes but his landlady
could collect no money. In despair
she went to the White House to see
Jackson. She told her story and he
requested her to get the clerks note
for the account. She obeyed and car
ried the note to Andrew Jackson, who
sfter glancing over it, affixed his sig
nature to the back.
snow. madam" said he, "put that in
the bank and we shall see which of us
shall have to pay you the money"
The note was duly deposited and
was paid by the clerk, who afterward
apologlzed to jackson and promised
to mend his ways.

Wilson W. Reed.

The contested election case Of Will
son va. Reed occupied the attention
Of Judge Talbot all day yesterday.
Attorneys Macmillan and Truman
for the defendant filed general
demurrer to the complaint which
the Court overruled. Macmillan
then asked and obtained leave to file
an answer to the complaint later in
the day. The attorneys then filed a
stipulation waving all irregularities
to the establishment of Bryan pre-
cinct and agreeing upon the follow
ing facts in regard to the change of
the polling place at Island Mountains:
That there was no stove or other
furniture In the house named by the
Commissioners and that part of the
windows were broken, making the
place unfit and uncomfortable for
holding the polls; also that the In
spectors posted a nouce on the house
stating that the polls had been moved
to another house about half a mile
distant.
Mr.. j. l.. French, one of the In
spectors of Island Mountain precinct,
was then sworn and testified tnat to
the best of his knowledge all but one
of the registered voters of the pre-
clnct voted ON that day and that the
absent voter had gone to Mountain
City few days before the election
and did not return LII time to vote al
though the polls were kept open
until the last minute. The matter of
Island Mountain precinct Was then
submitted TO Tie Court and will be
passed upon later LII The case.
| The Court then proceeded to count
the ballots cast Throughout the
county. AS the Court proceeded, 1t
became evident mat no fraud had
been committed agaIusG Inc contest

cincts tallying with those maue by the
election officers. The attorneys OBJ.

by the court. A large majority Of
them were Reed ballots. On the
com pleuion of Cue count Tie result on

At the conclusion or the count the
Court adjourned till 9 o'clock Tues

morning and after listening to the
arguments of the attorneys on the

Figs From The Dal1es.

Some very fine figs, of large size aud
excellent flavor, have been received here
from The Dalles, where they were grown
by Mr.. Emil Schanno, fruit commits
sioner, and are fully equal to any figs
received from California. The country
around The Dalles does not strike one
passing through on train as anything
extraordinary; but it resembles singed
cat, in being better than it looks. Cam
taloupes of excellent quality are being
received from there, peaches have been
coming in for some time. They raise
early strawberries there, tomatoes and
fine egg plant, and send many kinds of
early vegetables to this market. These
products are equal to those of California,
and reach the market in much fresher
and better condition. .-Oregonian

The big salmon run at the mouth OF

Company is going to ship lot of salmon
from the lower river, where they cannot

Dalles. The manager says, if the fish
won't swim up to The Dalles, he will
send them up by express. A lot of fish
were shipped from the Lower Cascades
down the river short time since. Now
the canneries at the Cascades are nearly
idle, and could take back as many as
they sent down.

NOBODY IN NEED OF WORK.

Get Enough LabOrers.

There is plenty of work at Astoria.
The Oregonian today says:
mr.. Hugh Glenn, of the contracting
firm of Honeyman, DeHsrt & Glenn,
who is constructing a portion of the
Astoria Goble railroad, is at the st.
Charles. He has just returned from
Seattle, where he went to employ labor
ers. He wants 800 more men, princi-
pally axmen and station men, but finds
lit hard to secure them. Il
nave advertised for men; said,
''and pay.them $3.50 per day, which is
10 cents more than paid by the railroad
companies and other contractors for the
same class of work; yet it is impossible
to get them.
cit is our purpose to give everything
possible to Portland, and we still hope
to get men here, and on the Sound, in
stead of having to go to San Francisco. .
