WHAT OUR FRIENDS SAY.


In looking over our list of letters of a
recent date, We find so many words OF
cheer that we cannot forbear presenting
few Of them to the public, that our
friends may see that their good words
and wishes are duly appreciated.
Mrs. Corwin, Nehalem, Oregon, sends
a new subscriber, and writes: so, Mrs.
d., how l do long to clasp your hand
and look into your eyes, and thank you
for what you are doing for the cause of
Human RightsI Go on, and God and
angels will bless and guide you"
Mrs. NJ. A. Canney, Exeter Mills,
Maine, sends four dollars on subscrip-
tion, and says: "Please inform me
when the time is up for which this will
pay, as fear shall have to discontinue
the paper for while, and see how
shall thrive on skim milk. Perhaps /
ought not say that, but your little paper
comes TO me like bit of delicious
cream, and have such a genuine relish
for cream, that / am afraid, without IL,
everything else will look blue. / want
to tell you that you have helped me
over hard places; you have strengthened
my hands and steadied my feet; you
have cheered and encouraged my faint
ing heart, and / thank you most low
ingly for it all. May God bless you,
and give you daily of that satisfaction
which only an honest worker can
KNOW
Mrs. S. c. Waldrip, of Paradise Val
ley, Idaho, writes: 1--WE are always
glad to get the New NORTHWEST. We
feel that We cannot get along without it,
yet it does not come regularly. 1t comes
to US without wrapper, with my ad-
dress in pencil on the margin, some
times so dim it is barely possible to
make il out. Our postmaster tells us it
is the only one coming to this office.
We have lately organized a Grange
with 30 charter members, including
some ten pronounced Woman Suflra-
gists. Hope to get you n club by the
time my subscription expires. Could

so hard to get a start in this new coun-
try. We have many hardships and
privations, but we will come out all
right. There are many brave hearts
here from Oregon, California, and the
East. This is a good grain and dairy

the winter. We have no market yet for
produce, but party Is out now looking
for location for road TO Snake river,
with the intention OF building ware
house on the river, so we can haul our
produce there, and have 1t ready for the
boats in the season OF navigation. At
present we have no stores nearer than
Lewiston, thirty miles distant, and
about the same distance to Colfax. May
success attend you in the great cause in
which you are so ably and zealously
laboring. l am loaning the New
NORTHWEST to my neighbors, and it is
making new converts all the time"
Edna Eastman, Monitor, Oregon,
writes: "Your valuable paper is doing a
grand work for the people. Long may
1t wave"
We have many more encouraging let
ters oflike character with these ofwhich
we shall publish extracts from time to
time. Many OF the best letters we gel
never see the light because of the diff
dence of their authors about allowing
their names to appear in print; and we
have seen so much newspaper buncombe
over anonymous signatures, that we
have made it a rule to publish nothing
in any way personal, without giving
the writer's name in full.
