This may have been bet­ter for the organization, as a body, but it certainly excluded many valuable suggestions that would probably have been made, and tied up the delegates to only hearing what had been before­hand prepared for their benefit.

William Alexander Long was born in Granger county, Tennes­

see, February 26, 1832. When five years of age he moved with his parents to Missouri, and in 1846 crossed the plains with his parents, locating in Polk county, Oregon. A few years later he moved to Douglas county, where he spent the greater part of his life. He took part in the Indian War in 1855. He went to Cali­fornia in 1849, during the gold excitement. He leaves four

expectations of many on board, “Mzumpsa” was not injured at all because of its immersion in the cold, forbidding waters of the broad Atlantic. However, for a time, it looked as though the Great Carnival to be held in Dallas was to lose the services of “Mzumpsa.” That Would have been almost disastrous, for the Great Carnival Management is figuring very largely upon “Mzumpsa” as a principal at­traction. The Management has also gone to so much expense al­ready to secure “Mzumpsa” , that it couldn’t afford to lose it now. Great care is being ob­served on board now to preWt*i*.c repetition of the accident of to­day.

There are many people on board this boat who are planning upon going to Dallas to take in

I They are helping greatly to make I the Itemizer the largest and best1 paper in the county, and the ed- j itor fully appreciates what their work for the success of the pa­per is, and is truly pleased to be able to give them this slight tes­timonial of his regard. We find that the correspondents from Gilliam, West Salem, Eola, Falls City, Monmouth No. 1, Zena, Peedee, Perrydale and Rickreall have not missed sending in a let­ter during every week of the last four months. There are a num­ber of others who come very close to being tied for first place, but from one cause or another have failed to get in for one, two or three times. On points the win­ners are: *
