ply of paper ordered some time before the ed
itor, proper, satarted below. \ 1t never reached
Wallula, so we have been informed. 1t did get
far up as Umatilla, we have been told, and
was shipped to Cello by the last boat, where it
probably is slowed away at present. Another
half sheet or two may be issued before a supply
comes to hand. Mr. NEWELL, will probably be
home 10 a few days to take charge of the paper.
1t was deemed better to issue half sheet, than
to suspend publication altogether for a time.
Besides it would not have suited sundry adyer-
tisers so well, while legal ads.' must be pub.
lished weekly to be valid.
