ADDITIONAL TODAY’S LOCALS.

Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Gray went to Chicago this morning for a visit until Sunday. During that time they expect to attend the land and fat stock shows.

. Fred Linback was in Rensselaer today and called at The Republican office. He has rented all of C. H. Tryon's farm, near Pleasant Ridge, and will have it all the coming year. It consists of 360 acres. Fred has been handling a dozen cows and selling cream this year, but will probably cut down some on the dairying business another year, owing to the fact that he will have such a large acreage to handle. He believes he found the prize two-ear stock of corn this'year. One ear measured 15 and the other 11% inches in length.

A. G. W. Farmer informs us that his son, Worth Farmer, and his son-in-law, Joe Blake, and their families, who are now in Oklahoma City, Okla., are considering removal to Twin Falls, Idaho, where Henry Farmer is located, and where he thinks there are splendid opportunities. Henry is the traveling salesman for the farmers’ union. All the farmers club together and place the sale of their hay in the hands of an agent, who visits the large markets and sells it to the best advantage. Henry has been at Spokane, but is now in Seattle, and expects to get back to Twin Falls in about 30 days.

The Indianapolis papers and a .lumber of democratic exchanges in this vicinity have started a “bear” story to the effect that Attorney John B. Peterson will contest the election of Congressman E. D. Crumpacker and carry the inatter before the house of representatives on the ground that something over 2,000 democratic voters were kept from the polls election day by the United States Steel corporation at Gary. It is safe to say that the contest is a matter of news to Mr. Peterson, and is only a wild rumor emenating from the overheated brain of some versatile space writer. Even ii such a contest were contemplated it would be a diftyfolt matter for the democrats to prove that a single vote was kept from the polls or if there was, that it would have been cast for Mr. Peterson.—Crown Point Register.

A copy of a boom edition of the Eugene, Oreg., Daily Guard, of Nov. 19th, reached us a f y ew'days ago and we have looked over it with interest. Eugene is a city of 12,000 population, according to the paper, which set's out all the good things of that city in a very attractive manner. It was at Eugene that G. M. Wilcox and sons located last yepr. The boys come in for a good write-up, and the pictures of Trevor and Jay are published. They are in* the shoe business and call their £tojp “The Royal Blue Shoe Store.” Among other complimentary things the write-up says, “It is doubtful if there is another more up-to-date and attractive shoe store in the Willamette valley.” The paper throughout sets out the beauties and business advantages of Eugene in a very forceful manner. It contains 24 pages, 16 of which are printed on calendar paper, making the illustrations show up to advantage.
