The Newberg Graphic notes Stayton’s starch factory push, laments public school leadership choices like Prof Hodson, jokes about missionaries to distant lands, and cites a Wilkes-Barre magistrate punishing a petty thief. It also mentions potato prices, Alaska mining earnings, and a Monument skeleton found underground amid election chatter.
A collection of brief items covers politics in McMinnville and nearby Yorktown, including candidate comparisons between H. G. Guild and Calvin Stanley, the Democratic county meeting at McMinnville failing to nominate a ticket, and comments on women’s attendance at a Methodist conference. Other notes warn of a Yorktown youth’s suicide, and observations on hobo camps near Eugene and voting procedures ahead of the Jane election.
The law now allows voters to mark ballots by placing a simple cross to the left of the chosen candidate names, rather than striking out unvoted names. The elector, after receiving the white ballot, retires to a booth and marks or writes the name beside each office without erasing any others.
A traveler notes how Italians and Latin peoples use America to mean South America, not the United States. The piece discusses misperceptions of America abroad, the Monroe doctrine hints of future expansion, and the need to distinguish United States from America in law and diplomacy.
The article surveys bicycle use and industry across Europe and America, noting tolls removed on Brooklyn Bridge, growing rider numbers in New York and Greece, new tire materials like French silk, railcar handling of bikes, and rising patent activity. It also compares mechanical designs such as roller bearings and safety factors across industries while reporting on agricultural conditions and fruit crop forecasts.
Weather notes describe a mixed week with sunshine early, followed by rain that slowed farm work. Soil moisture rose, grain emerging well, spring crops behind schedule, and hay may replace some sown oats due to wet conditions. Farmers urge dry spells to improve plowing, sowing, and garden work amid uncertain prospects for all crops.
The Dayton Herald notes several Democrats crossing to the Republican side led by Lunt of Attorney Flowers as a strong tariff advocate. It highlights elderly local pioneers like A. P. Robertson, John Baxter, and James Baxter, plus younger figures nearing seventy, and mentions a series of community updates from band organization, a court case, church growth, a notable theft at I. F. Redwell Co., and a mayoral reminiscence of homesteading days.
A union session notes a failed safe opening by amateur workers and long arm plans from the local unit. The April meeting includes scripture readings, prayers, and appointments. Officials discuss copying reports, department reviews, and literature distribution, with Chehalem Center reported as newly active plus a temperance sermon by Rev. James Price.
