Hon. A. w. Lafferty, who has
made better fight for Oregon in
tereSts than any congressman ever
sent from this state, made an inter
esting address in Bickner hall last
night He denied in toto the ma
lignant charges made against him
by opposing political papers. His
explanations were so complete and
convincing that no doubt was lett
in the minds of his auditors as to
his innocence of wrong doing. He
is a pleasing speaker and held the
undivided attention of his audience
throughout Those who failed to
hear him missed a treat. There is
little doubt but Mr.. Laiferty will
be returned to congress from the
Third district with a larger majori-
ty than before, and we believe he
deserves to be.

The St Johns Commercial club
has been launched in a most admir-
able manner In fact, far exceed.
ing the fondest expectations of the
most ardent booster. The people
are a unit in the laudable work and
with the sinews of war being pro-
vided for in such a splendid man.
ner, there is every reason TO hope
and expect that the st. Johns com.
mercial club will rapidly become a
power in the land, one to be recog.
niled and considered by the outside
world. The people of ST. Johns
have really surprised themselves at
what they can do when they get
together. Annexation discussi IN,
politics and factional differences
should not, aud will not we firmly
believe, ever be tolerated at any of
It's sessions. II iseXclusiyely for the
good OF the people as whole May II
