A Calf and Politics.

"A Calf ana Politics.
During the past week the oregoniar
published an article about d. II
Looney, Of Jefferson, presumed to have
been news, but so tinctured by mirep
resentation and insidious malice that
Mr.. Looney's home paper, the Jeffer'
son Review, is prompted to puncturc
its many falsities. 1t seems that Mr.
Looney bought bull Of his neighbor
Uncle Charlie Miller, the sire Of which
animal Mr.. Looney himself had raised
The animal was very similar to one
already in his herd, both as to age and
description. Later one Of the two died
and Mr.. Looney's foreman supposed
Il was the Miller bull that died, where.
as in reality IL proved later TO have
been Mr., Looney's own bull. As re-
suit Mr.. Looney sold the Miller bull AZ
Of his own registration and name. This
was discovered by some Of Mr..
Looney's enemies and they at once set
about securing afidavits concerning
the matter without consulting Mr..
Looney himself. The purchaser Of the
bull lives in Southern Oregon and upon
the matter coming TO Mr.. Looney's
attention IL was made thoroughly sat.
isfactory to said purchaser.
Nevertheless, the persons engaged in
getting up the afiidavits and traducing
Mr.. Looney's good name, proceeded t.
demand an investigation from the
American Jersey Cattle club, and are
to have him fined by that
organization. When II is remembered
that Mr.. Looney Is one Of the foremost
Jersey cattle breeders in the North
west, and that his herds take more
premiums than all Others combined,
this looks like pretty small business
for outside parties TO be engaged in.
The plan seems 10 be that those parties
are either endeavoring TO cast stain
upon the reputation Of a formidable
competitor or there is some local or po'
litical reason for the same. II can
hardly be believed that they will try
TO besmirch his reputation as a stock
man for so small an error, especially
since the sire Of the animal in question
came from Mr.. Lo6ney's own herd, and
the bull in question was practically of
his own breeding,
1t is believed, however, by many that
the whole matter is tainted with poll
tics. Mr. Looney has unfortunately
stood in the way Of some small peo-
plo's political ambitions, and thus he
must suffer for It, The bald state
ment Of the oregonian denouncing the
animal in question as a scrub Of base
breeding is wholly unwarranted, for
tho animal was one Of the best in Mr..
Miller's herd and eminated from Mr..
L.ooney's own farm. Furthermore, he
took numerous premiums. Mr.. Looney
is quite a pioneer in this line in Ore
gon aud has brought more credit and
money to Marion county and Jefferson
as a result Of his enterprise in that
line, than any other man. His rivals
In business no doubt encourage this
transaction, aud his friends, the enemy
In politics, is likewise interested, hence
this attempt TO besmireh fair man s
reputation. This process may meet
the demands Of few small bore enc
mics, but il viii not permanently injure
the reputation Of a good man. 1t is to
he deplored that such thing could
take place in any community.

as Goddess Of Liberty, enthroned

more than 1000 people but it was
too small to accommodate all the
dense throng who gathered there
to listen to the excellent program.
President Of the Day B. T. Smell, Of

to order and after a suitable sell

were opened with prayer by Rev.
Frank Simmons, pastor OF the
First Baptist church of this city.
Mrs l.. w. Darling recited pat

Mr., Wilson is one of the best

and his effort Tuesday was one Of
the very best addresses ever heard
in this section of the state. In his
closing periods Mr.. Wilson drew
two word pictures, one Of the bat

fine.
Following Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. J. B.

line. His remarks were in a happy
vein and we're well received
The music was a feature of the
occasion, the Condor and Fossil
cornet bands both being present
besides a splendid choir of Con-
don's best vocalists.
In the afternoon an immense
crowd went to the race track to see
the ball games and rrces. Up
wards of 1000 people were present,
the grand stand being filled to
overhowing and holding only a
fraction of the crowd. The ball
game was hardly up to Condon's
usual high standard but, like Mon
days game was won by Condor,
giving them the 5000 purse.
The races were interesting and
