nominated. The attendance will be
confined to near by counties and no ar

lost to-day at Shields by the founder

broke over the boat, it soon filled and
caused her to sink. Other boats went
to the rescue, but before they could
reach the people struggling in the water

noted orators, and Hon. E. L. Smith,
one of Wasco county's most distln-

Egan remarked to bystander, THAT'S

"How So" said the person addressed.
tWhy the dickens didn't they send up a
Republican instead of hiring Brown"
replied Egan, as he watched that gen.
tleman go up the pole. "The first
thing you know Bryan will lose vote"
The Bryanites claim that Wasco
county will give only very small ma
jority for Mckinley, some of them even
going go far as to insist that Bryan will
carry it. Conservative Republicans fix
the majority for Mckinley between 800
and 500, but incline more to the first
named figures. That the majority will
not be less than that is beyond question.
The school board has decided that
school will be kept Thursday as usual.
In reaching this conclusion the board
reasoned that the celebration would not
begin here until after school hours, and
that but few parents would care to take
their children to the Cascades. How
ever should any parents desire to take
their children to the Locks, no obiec-
tions will be raised.
Bets on the election are not numerous,
caused largely by lack of faith in Bry-
ans supporters or else lack of Bryan
money, as the odds offered on Mckinley
are on an average three to one. The
other side has a good chance to gather
in abundant shekels from the gold bugs.
Truly the election betting business is
stagnant like all other business from the
lack of confidence.
