Hen owners because there Is 80 much
petty thieving going on.
Women because they are obliged to en-
counter muddy crossings.
Farmers because wheat does not raise
fast enough.
Little children because they can only
hang up one stocking.
Old maids because even one would do
them no good.
Many citizens because their roofs leak.
Some of our young men, because, like
Alexander, there are no more conquests to
be made.
Readers Of the OyegoSiaa, because Mitch
ell writes such an unreadable hand.
Some young men because it Is difficult to
get enough paper TO write their New Years
resolutions on.
Dealers in tobacco because their sales
will be small for few days after January
/. They should not forget the certain re.
action.

Chicken thieves are again or the war
path. In most cases they manage TO get
away with their booty ere even squawk Is
heard, but Saturday evening the depredator
who was filling his hands with hens and
roosters from Mr.. f. B. Purdom's roost, on
Second Street, brought Mr.. Purdon out
before he had even left the hen house. AS
Mr.. P. Is getting too old to run very fast
the thief easily made his escape, dropping
only one of his hens. In his fight he dis
turbed the ncighborhood generally. OF
course he is almost known, but not quite
we'll enough to make any charges, at the
same time a certain man will be watched
very close in the future. II he is the one
suspected he has been in the Jail already.

The people of Oregon are under many
obligations to the OycgosiaR for giving
them sample of Senator Mitchelrs hand
writing. Great CONSERVATION was caused
in Albany by the fact that he wrote such a
poor, unintelligable hand. We have ffteeu
year old youths in our public schools who
can write much palmer. II Is to be hoped
he will take lessons during the six years he
remains in Washington. AS these, though,
were written some fifteen years ago Il is
possible he does better now. AS far as
morals are concerned very few people con.

Of being fractious horse, it was horizon

X. o. cora,

Last Saturday Mr.. Milton Houston left
ut this office several ears of corn which he
recently brought from Blaloek, Gillian
county. It is equal to any we have ever
seen In the East and indicates what that
part of the State can do in corn raising
During the last year considerable was
planted there with good results. The
climate of Eastern Oregon is much better
for raising this cereal than that of the VIII
lamette Valley. 1t is to be desired that
some section of the State should excel in
corn raising. Gillian county stands good
chance of taking the lead in the matter.

to Denver Hackleman, cutting off its exist
