was decided by the United States Supreme

versing the supreme court Of the state.

MADE A GOOD IMPRESSION
According to a Portland Paper, But
Reames Never Made the Speech.

The Oregon Journal, of Portland
is not only up-to-date, but at times
somewhat ahead of it. Whether
the management is running wild
since John Lathrop went to Eugene
as the press representative of the
Democracy in general, and Mr..
Reames in particular, or that the
foreman refused to lift Mr.. Reames'
speech from the silent forms may
never be known, says the Salem
Journal. However, a delayed train,
owned by a soulless corporation, re-
fused to deliver Mr.. Reames at
Champoeg in time for him, in turn,
to deliver his speech, This is
where our contemporary showed
energy and determination. Reames
was billed to speak, and the Journal
admired, applauded and appreci-
ated the speech Reames didn't
make, just as heartily as though
ne had made it. II may be that
our friend Lathrop projected his
and Reames' astral bodies to
Champoeg and succeeded in con-
vincing themselves they we're both
there, but regard for truth compels
US to say that when that speech of
Reames' was being made and the
loud applause was being given,
Reames was still in Eugene. Here
is the Journals statement;
"The appearance Of Mr.. Reames
on the stand was the signal for an
outburst Of enthusiasm, and if this
may be taken as an example of his
popularity with the people Of
Marion county, the county may as
well be taken from the doubtful
column and placed to his credit.
His address was highly appreciated
for its delivery, historical incidents
and patriotism. He was loudly |
applaudod, and the young man
left most favorable impression
with his hearers. The people Of
this section showed their usual
hospitality To the riritors; md tIle
event will long be remembered by
III who were present"
The delicious part of the whole
hing is the last two lines.
The speech was sent out in ad-
vance to various papers, and when
he train was delayed Assistant
Secretary Lathrop telegraphed the
papers to "kill" the speech. The
elegram was not signed, SO the
Portland paper probably took the
Message as a fake and let the
peech go.

Mr.. Arnold, "are two kangaroos,
an emu and cassowary from
Australia; pair Of striped hyenas
from the desert Of Sahara; a couple
Of Abyssinian lions; royal Bengal
tiger captured in Northern India;
a black bear, lion-monkey from
Brazil. a South American tapir,
and pair Of coyotes. / have also
a happy family" combination, in
which monkeys from all parts of
the world are punched in together
with parrots, cockatoes, etc."
At this moment Columbus, the
big lion, yawned sleepily, and
emitted a sound resembling the
filing Of saw. He and his mate,
Nellie Robinson, are four years old,
and are certainly magnificent
animals. Mr.. Arnold exhibited a
broom which Columbus had riven
into splinters while at play last
night. AT this moment the kanga-
roos butted in, and did few leap
frog stunts. A bystander pointing
to the tapir, pieced out the re-
porter's imperfect geological knowl-
edge with the information that the
animal was the connecting link
between a hog and an elephant.
The restless coyotes, Budd and
IisspnSHrx xEulaImedSattention, They
are probably the only trained pair
in captivity. They perform high
dive act, leaping downward go feet
from a ladder into a net.
The tiger, although but Is months
old, is rs large as the average 8 year
old. The lion monkey has silver
name, is big fellow, and looks like
an Albino. Mr.. Arnold exhibited
a scratched cheek where the black
bear, Mig, in playful mood, land
ed his left.
1t is Mr.. Arnold's intention to
give the animals a week'srest. He
will then place them on exhibition.
Beginning with June 1st, he will
make tour through Oregon, Wash
ngton and Idaho. Within two
years he expects to establish a
geological garden in
Portland. His present consign-
nent is valued at upwards Of
10000, of which sum the lions are
worth $1,000. Next year he intends
Q have the animal cages decorated
With bits Of Oregon scenery, for he
believes in advertising the state.
