The opposition among few
Republicans in Dallas to the can
didacy of E. G. Kirkpatrick for the
Senatorial nomination is disappear,
ing like dew before the morning
sun, and he will go into the con,
vention backed by a solid delega-
ton from the three Dallas pre-
cincts. No one at all familiar with
the local situation will doubt OF
question this assertion for a
moment. The fact is, Mr.. Kirk
patrick's chances of carrying Dallas
have never been in danger from tie
day he announced his candidacy.
The convention is three weeks
away, and his support is increasing
every day. Men, who, ten days
ago, were doubtful as to his
strength, and men, who, in some
instances, were opposed to his
nomination, now agree that he will
win out in each precinct by a neat
majority. The fight that has been
waged against Mr.. Kirkpatrick in
Dallas has been led by men, who
by every principle of justice and
right, ought to be his most loyal
friends. Be it said to their credit,
these men are now coming to regret
their opposition to one who had a
right to claim their friendship and
support, and are abandoning the
fight against him. Mr.. Kirkpatrick
will be given the nomination by
the county convention upon the
showing made by him, for the
reason that an overwhelming
majority of the Republicans Of
Polk county have expressed them
selves in favor of nominating a
Dallas man for State Senator this
year, and when they so expressed
themselves they meant what they
said. The Republicans of Dallas
have relied upon this promise; they
are relying upon it today, and are
earnestly working to secure the
nomination of Mr. Kirkpatrick to
head the winning ticket in the
June election.

MAHARA'S BIG MINSTELS
Will Appear at City Hall OH Thurs
day, March IL.

Mahara's minstrels will give one
performance in Dallas, Thursday,
March IT, This is one of the largest
companies on the road and seldom
shows outside of the large cities. The
company has an open date before it's
appearance at the Marquam Grand
theater in Portland, and the manager
has decided to bring his people to
Dallas for this night.
In most colored minstrels the funny
part Of the performance is much over
done, but in this one it is carried on
in such "a manner that never fails to
please an audience The introduction
of lady actors into minstrels takes
out that ancient effect, for every
theater-goer is tired of the old-time
minstrel show
The performance is divided into the
customary two parts; the first consist
ing of a regular minstrel work under
the direction of that prince of con-
versationalists, j. A. English, and the
second of selected specially acts only
equal to those gotten off over the
Orpheum stage. Sadie Citizen, Bessie
LaBelle, Odessia Crosby and Emma
Foster sing late popular songs, such
as Honey, Will You Miss Me When
I'm Gone" Castle on the Nile, ;" mo
Use For Sleep" "Milanda's Ball, !"
"Game of Eyes" IF That's the Land
lord, 1 Amt Home" and Just Plain
Folks"
The show concludes with the one-act
opera, "Dusky Maidens, which shows
up the whole company to advantage
in the "Florodora" marches, drills
and cake walking.
Watch for the mammoth street
parade.

PASSED TO HER REST
Mrs. Nancy Holmes Dies al, Her
Home in Salem, Wednesday
Morning.

One of the earliest pioneers OF Ore
gon, Mrs. Nancy Holmes, passed
away at the home of her son, Hon.
w. H. Holmes, in Salem, Wednesday
morning, after long illness, lasting
in the acute stage, about six weeks,
from a gradual wearing away Of the
tissues, due to old age after useful
life of SO years.
Thus is given another reminder Of
the rapid passing of the honored pio-
neers Of Oregon, those who faced the
dangers and endured the hardships
and early privations Of life on the
frontier. Deceased was born in Lin
coin county, Missouri, on February
IA, 1922, and comes of the sturdy stock
of the Porter family, who were promi-
nent Virginians, and who took an
active part in the war Of 1912. When
but a mere child, her parents moved
to Pike county, Illinois, where she
was reared, and married In 1888 to
HIN. V. Holmes. In 1S48 they moved
to Oregon, crossing the plains in the
fashioned way. with an OK team,
settling in Polk county, and the
following spring took up donation
land claim, where the family was
reared, and which is still in the pos
session Of the members Of the family.
This homestead is located near what
is now Mccoy. The deceased lived
there until the death Of her husband,
March 28, 1886, and since that time
has made her home with her son,
W. H. Holmes.
She was a member Of the Sweden
borgian Society, a sect of Christians
with whom she united at Ballston,
while living at her Polk county home,
and while she never attempted to draw
others to her faith, she steadily re-
mained by her early church love.
The issue Of the marriage was seven
children, three of whom have passed to
the other side. Three Of these child
rem were born in Illinois. Those still
living are d. J. Holmes, Portland A.
M. Holmes who now lives on the home
place; John P. Holmes, living near
Derry, Polk county, and W. II.
Holmes, Of Salem.
Two brothers of the deceased crossed
the plains with her, W. M. Porter Of
Aumsville, who died at the age Of Sc
years, and Stephen Porter, who died
near Mount Angel, fifteen years ago,
Her father started across the plains in
1852, at the age Of 80 and died sudden
Iy at Bear River in Idaho The only
survivor Of the party who crossed
with him is Hon. Ben Hayden, Of
Polk county.
The funeral services were held at the
residence Thursday afternoon and the
remains were consigned to their last
resting place in the City View ceme
terry, beside those of the other loved
ones, whose bodies were recently NOV
ed from the Polk county burying
ground. Salem Statesman.

SALMON CAUGHT ILLEGALLY.
CIaCkamas People Call Situation to
Attention of Representative.

Oregon City-Complaint of fragrant
violations of the salmon fishing law are
being made by interested Clackamas
county people to Representative-elect
G. g. Huntley, of this city, who, as a
member of the state legislature, will
seek to have corrected existing abuses
and their repitition in the future.
These complaints have been made to
Fish Warden Van Dusen, who has de-
clined to remedy the situation beacuse
of lack of funds.
Fishing is by law prohibited within
two miles of any hatchery, but this
law is being notoriously transgressed.
There is made provision in the same
law for the patroling of the Clackamas
river within the restricted districts
about hatchery, but fishing for salm-
on with nets is being openly carried on
within one half miie of the government
hatchery near this city, with the result
that the take of salmon at the hatchery
wall not exceed one-thifd that Of last
year. At this time last year, 10, ,1SO,-
900 eggs had been secured for the gov.
eminent hatchery, while but 5000, 900
eggs have been taken this year. Of
this seasons's taken Superintendent
Wallick reports more than 1000, 900
eggs have been taken during the past
ten days.
Much indignation exists among the
people of Oregon City with present
conditions, and local fishermen are
known to be fishing in violation of the
law for the reason that nothing has
been done to regulate the practice at
other Places Oregon City people view
the situation as one of great Importance
to the industry itself, and question
whether or not the government in it's
efforts to promote the propagation of
this fish will not be discouraged bv the
lack of interest and the failure of the
state authorities to provide the needed
protection by enforcing the statutes as
they are now framed.
