cItlzens' Convention.

The most exciting convention in
the history Of the town Of Lamar
was held at the court house last Sat,
urday night. About 140 voters we're
present when Chairman D. L. Silver
of the Citizens city committee called
the meeting to order. The fight
started at the first rap of the gavel
and lasted for two long hours, more
than half of which was spent in elect.
ing the chairman.
Immediately after the reading Of
the call the names of DR.. J. s. S.'Hasty
and Capt. @, w. Heaton were pre-
sented as candidates for chairman
and the scrap was on. The floor
leaders of the C contending factions,
N. N. Mclean and DR.. Hasty, had a
lengthy parliamentary battle over the
manner of voting but after the smoke
cleared away the DR.. had won out
and was made the chairman by q
vote of 78 to So for Capt. Heaton.
The triumph was short lived, how
ever, as it was the only victory won
by that faction.
L. F. Adams was made secretary
by scclamation. A motion was made
to vote by ballot and ]. H. Frisbie
and L. Writ Markham were appoint
ed tellers. Morton Strain, the pres.
ent mayor, being the only person
named for that honor was nominal

following were placed in nomination:

According to local paper, Sens-
tor Patterson is opposed to the pro-
tective tariff policy "as a matter Of
principle"
It is fair to assume, therefore,
when he is found advocating a high
protective tariff policy for Colorado
products, that he has abandoned the
"matter of principle"
When q man of Mr.. Patterson's
peculiar style Of sincerity abandons
principle" something is due to
compensate him for the loss. In
this instance, it is the votes, infu-
ence and subscriptions to his papers,
of republican protectionists in Colo
RADIO that he is after.
He opposes protective tariff out
side Of Colorado as a matter of prin-
ciple, and favors protective policy
within Colorado as matter of poll
tics and "sordId gain"
We are not discussing the merits
of the beet sugar tariff, but matter
of principle, as interpreted by Mr..
Perplexity Patterson.
Can il be that the Honorable
Thomas has forgotten that he be
lieves, as matter of principle, that
"The Tariff is the Mother of Trusts ?"
Has he not preached itS Why,
therefore, do we find him on his
knees praying for succor for the
Beet Sugar Trust, as it is called by
its opponentss
Has he not told us, with tears in
his voice, that all trusts are bad
trustss" And yet here he is boast
ing of his success in fighting the
battles Of this wicked Sugar Trust!
Is not this matter of Pattersonisn
principle exceedingly perple1ing?
He has preached for yeaas that the
"Tsriff is Robbery"
He tells us that it enriches the
few at the expense of the many.
Why, then, does this man who is
so loyal to his principles protect the
handful of people who are engaged
in producing sugar in Colorado at
the expense of the $4,000 people
who are consuming its
Perhaps, after all, he has discov-
cred the fact that the consumer does
not always pay the tariff but this
cannot be, for he is still opposed to a
protective tariff outside of Colorado
products.
If, as small democratic paper
has suggested, he has sacrificed his
principles in this instance because
the products of other states are pro-
tected, he must belong to that small
but pious class Of statesmen who be

This is the season when the wo-
man who knows the best remedies
for Group is In demand IN every
neighbOrhood. One Of the most ter
rible things IN the world Is to be
awakened Ia the middle Of the night
by whOop from one Of the children.
The Group remedies are almost as
sure to be lost, in case of Group, as a
revolver is sure to be lost IN case Of
burglars. There used TO bo an old.
fashioned remedy for Group, known
as hive syrup and t0lu, but some
modern mothers say that Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy Is better, and
does not cost so much. It causes the
patient TO "thrOW up the phlegm' -
quicker. and gives relief IN a shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as
the the croupy cough appears and il
viii prevent the attack. It never
fails and Is pleasant and safe to take.

The laws Of 1908 prohibits the kill
ing Of deer in this state for two years
or until 1905. But on the strength of
clause in the law which would lead
one to think the law meant they can
be killed on every Wednesday, in
November Of each year, party
started out to 8nd a deer on the
mountain on Wednesday last. They
did not find the deer but did find a
dead squirrel hanging in the crotch
Of a limb and each hunter had a
crack at that squirrel, and 1t is there
yet. II is probably as well that the
party did not come across the deer,
as the fine is 100 dollars.
Thanksgiving day is here, and as a
nation we have much to be thankful
for especially for the white elephant
we have in the shape of the Philip
pines, and the troubles we may
expect from meddling with what is

Of Panama. Is there such a thing as
the Monroe Doctrine?
For the first time tnis winter the
ground is white and our hunters are
disconsolate. But as it is Sunday
there can be no hunting. anyway.
The law prohibits hunting when
there is a tracking snow, and it is an
excellent law, too.
The new school law Of Oct. 10, 1908
says, "Every hoard of education shall

none in Sandyston. AS there is no
penalty for not complying with the
above law, 1t will be dead letter.

DINGMAN'S FERRY.

So far this year the boys are net
complaining about the severity Of
the game laws. The fine bags of
game brought home by the majority
OF hunters shows they have the
field pretty much to themselves aud
that keeping outsiders off their
grounds is a big item towards keep
ing the pot boiling at home. There
is not SO much money spent in the
place by foreigners but this is Of no
moment 50 long as the boys get the
game. Wallace Bensley and d. h.

Benton county has no part or

bridge. Indications are that it is

Albany, and considered the matter.
County Judge Waters and Com
missioner Jolly attended from Benz
ton. The proceedings were result.
less. save to indicate that Benton
will not become involved in the
bridge, nor Linn in the Corvallis
ferry.
Linn made a straight out pro-
position for Benton to assume half
the bridge. Benton refused, and
countered with an offer to assume
a proportion of the expenses of
the bridge on a basis of the proper
ty valuation in each county, pro-
vided Linn would assume similar
interest in the Corvallis ferry This
offer, Linn promptly declined, say
ing Linn would not consider any
ferry proposition.

NO REMOVAL NOW.
But Carriage Factory has new Part
ner-Eugene man Takes Hold.


&c Smith, a Eugene capitalist has
contracted for an interest in the op-
Grafton of the carriage department
Of the Cramer factories. He was in
Corvallis couple ofdays this week.
He returned to his home at Eugene
Thursday.
Under the arrangement, the car
riage enterprise is not for the pres
ent at least to be removed to Eu-
gene. That course was contempla-
ted for a time, but on account of
the e>advance of the-season, the delay
of removal and other influences, it
has been determined to operate the
factory here this season, and Mr.
Smith will be associated with the
Cramers in the industry. IF a site
is arranged for by the people of
Eugene it is possible that later on
a removal may occur.
As result of the new arrange
ment. the enerpr Use is to be pushed
more vigorously than heretofore.
Supplies of new material have been
ordered, and Monday next the car
riage department which has been
closed for several weeks, renews op-
erations with increased activity. It
is proposed to manufacture about
200 rigs this reason.
