Hard ON 6 John D..

We are told an incident which raost url-
mistakably illustrates the tenacity of the
Oregon farmer, and his determination to
support the w. r. T. Company. A few
days ago, a Polk county farmer entered
the coopering establishment Of John d.
Biles, at Portland, and, prrrchasinga num-
Der of buckets, ordered them forwarded by
the steamer Grover. 1t will be borne in
mind that John d. is the Agent of the
Holiday Line, and suavely suggested that
if shipped by the Alice, the goods would
reach their destination sooner than by the
Grover. The farmer replied that he was
in no hurry, and g guessed he would have
them shipped on the Grover. y The polite
Agent then reminded the farmer that the
freight would be less on the Alice; but the
honest farmer deemed the freight charges
on few. buckets but a trifiing matter, and
refused to change the order. John D. then,
with a knowing wink, informed his cllsto-
mer that his buckets would be landed at
his door, by the Alice, free of costi but the
sturdy friend of thesopposition refused the
generous offer, and left the enthusiastic
Agent with the parting injunction to ship
bis freight on the Grover.
