A Portland carnival wedding last week was nearly unconventional but the groom wore the standard black. An Oregonian reporter notes the notable attire in the midst of Oyster Bay Esopus name coverage and Newberg Oregon publishing details.
The piece notes Roosevelt and Parker as keen equestrians with Roosevelt the rough rider and predicts he will stay in the saddle. It criticizes Oregon politics and the Capital Journal over initiative laws and asks if Oregon is entering a revolutionary era. It urges Yamhill County to advertise locally at the Portland union depot immigration rooms and to start now rather than wait for the 1905 fair.
City should act to gain control of the Edwards oak grove and convert it into a city park. It is the town’s only ready made tract and could become an ideal small park. Delaying action risks losing access if the grove is sold, and now is the time to act before opportunities pass.
The Albany Democrat notes it would be pleasant to have a president candidate who is a doer rather than a great talker. It suggests the Democratic stance can change rapidly. It references eight years of admiration for a combative Democratic idol and hints at evolving views.
The passage contrasts the brash Orator of the Platte with Esopus where the silent sage Parker holds sway. Brother Nutting voices relief at the unexpected quiet, noting it has been long since the Democrats enjoyed a period of calm under their leader.
A Portland visitor spends a Sunday in Newberg with a local sweetheart. On Monday he buys ten cents worth of candy, flees with it, and is confronted at the depot by a citizen who reminds him to pay. The man leaves town, the incident ending with a sharp rebuke about the unpaid ten cents.
An editorial in the Portland Evening Telegram lauds Newberg as a growing manufacturing town in Yamhill County on the Willamette River. It highlights civic unity and the Board of Trade, notes strong education with Pacific College, and praises communal effort driving regional progress.
The passage depicts a train returning a pale and brilliant man as crowds disperse. A sadder but wiser youth leaves, followed by a solemn young woman and a candy seller whose hearty laugh signals he earned value from his sweet sales on credit.
