crowd for 25 minutes, and when he
got through the audience went fairly
wild over his clear statements about
our county affairs He batted Corby
all over the field, in spite of that gen.
tleman's curves and twisters. When
Corby undertook to close the game the
grandstand did not wait but hurried to
catch the cars. He batted the air too
much in his opening, and they did not
want to stay and see him fan it any
more.
Notes on the Game.
La Toilette was put on the bench,
but was ruled off the grounds by the
Democratic manager, as he required

On the Sixth Day.
The Double-ring menagerie all head
ed up the Santiam on Saturday, and
played to smaller but not less ap.
preciative audiences. The first stop,
at Mill City, did not stop the sawmills,
but COOL crowd met the candidates,
the candidates being all introduced,
Jimmie Culver setting the soda water
for all hands, and Hal Patton gave a
free exhibition in the magic black art,
to the delight of the audience At
Gates T. B. Kay gave the judicial tick
ct a great boost, and did not entirely
overlook himself and the rest of the
boys on the ticket with him. He bat
ted Huckenstein's WILD pitching clear
against the the side of the Cascade
mountain. Grant Corby was the next
speaker, and Corby closed the debate
Graham made a good speech, saying
that ba bod x,yprlrod In N irOY, fcundry,
at 10 years of age, had afterward
learned the carpenter trade, and his
interests were with the workingmen
and farmers. His earnest manner of
expressing himself is very plea ling to
most of his hearers, and he makes
friends for himself and the ticket.
Culver made his maiden speech in re-
gard to the Santiam bridge approach,
and answered Corby attack on Scott

for half the farmers in the county,
and his word has never been ques-
toned on a matter of fact relating to
his profession. Scott closed the dis

with men, and brought them in with
a satisfactory hit in the unprotected
field of the enemy. AS he was finish

the candidates made wild 2:41 rush
for the train, which was their last
chance to get back into the valley

The boys all touched the home plate
and found 1t we'll filled by Mr.. and
Mrs Geo. Anderson, at the Gates no

There are more patriotic ladies' at
Gates than at any place on the line,
and no wonder that is an attractive
resort. All who have not a
lead-pipe cinch on the Office are going
up to spend a week In that paradise
Of the trout fisherman.
Patton's calling the game from the
homemade megaphone put life into
he whole performance.
Siegmund and Moore did some ef-

but confined it strictly to scent bot

At Mehama.
At Mehama everything looked rosy |
