The Philemon Club.

Editor Journal: In answer to w.
E. Vincents article relative TO the
philemon Club" appearing in the
Statesman Of February 27, l will ex-
plain the secrecy of its personnel of
officers and members.
The members of the philemon
Club" were chosen because Of their
liberal, charitable, and unselfish
characters, men who are cpable of
making an honest living, men who
are not seekers after political plums,
and men who are willing to let 9TH
ers live and who are willing to di-
vide their talents with others, in Or
der that we may all derive more hap
piness in our short sojourn on earth.
The members are men Of intelll-
gence and have some knowledge Of
the ways of the world and know that
there are some very smooth and
adroit politicians residing in Salem,
Marion county as well as in other
parts of the United States and they
know that these politicians would
want to become members Of this
club In order to play their own ne
farious game and they know that 1t
is hard to deny personal friend the
right OF membership.
assure you Mr. Vincent that there
is not a member Of the Philemon
Club" who is an asplrant, or has any
relative who is an aspirant for any
political Job. No member shall pro
pose any measure under the initla-
tive, in fact the fundamental princi-
pie Of our club is nothing for our
selves" this organization was found
ed in good faith, strange as 1t may
seem, and in due time the cloak Of
secrecy will be thrown of and you
will behold an organization recruited
from every occupation, trade and
profession without a parasite among
them. A MEMBER

star attraction Of Buffalo Bills Wild
West shows for two seasons. West
was the only rider who was able to
successfully ride the famous bucking
horse "Hlghtower.' They have also
employed Lee Mccoy, who holds the
worlds championship for bulldogging,
being able to bulldog bull with his
teeth.
The management has been negotiat-
ing with the government to secure the
services Of the famous Yakima Indian
band Of 10 pieces, which appears in
Indian costume, and are very clever
musicians, and will no doubt be a big
attraction.
Mr., Cooper is making additions to
the attractions almost every day, and
the features mentioned above are only
a small part Of what will compose the
show when it is fully equipped and
ready for action. Besides the features
mentioned there will be several at
fractions, Of which Indians will con-
stitute the entire cast. The entire
show will be composed Of about rs per-
gOng and 40 hOraps and tho o1ynara
of the show will have their own cars
for the transportation of the show,
and after the first performance in this
city the show will go north into Can
ada for the summer season, and will
go south in the winter.
The show will be known as Cooper

will be $500, and every seat will be so
that a full view will be had of the en-

Mr.. Cooper is now negotiating for
the services Of number of sideshows,

very attractive features of this kind.
The principal attractions of the
show will be fancy rope spinning and
all the forms of trick riding, both by
ladies and gentlemen. There will be a
class of four lady broncho buster,
