The above ar.icla from the Oregoaian is
a pretty good TEN, crIy It liclss the quail
ty Of truth, and few o: the misiatcments
hlsd of l,aves 1t rather dcnade OF point.
Il is true that some time ago J. y. squier,
OF this rliec. had man bv the name Of
Woods in his employ, and that he was
filing position OF trust. Mr.. Squier icl,
40 much confidence In Woods integrity
that he leii him in charge Of a large bdsi-
ness during a temporary Rbscncc. This
trust Woods abused, and showed his in
gratitude to his cmrl, yer by decamping
with a large sum OF money. 1t Is further
true that the man Woods has been ar
rested for the crime, and that ii Is the in
tcniion Of Mr.. squier TO prosecute the
ca~e. Int ii is not trno that squier has
followed the lad OF civilization and spread
his tent in divers rllces. lie came to the
fall', admired the Place as all men do,
and embarked in business, and pays strict
attention TO il, too, even though the extent
d u requires the employment oiassis'asis.
The fortune spoken Of "a having been
made In his peregrinations exists only in
the imagination OF the author OF the item.
Il Is also a miSS;atemont tiiat Mr.. Squier
ever met Woods in san Fnncisco and
compromised the matter on the payment
O. a small sum. lie has mover me: tho

let him go unwhipped OF Justice, but TAX
