| Car. H.-The following from the Pen
dleton Z. o. gives Cap. Humphrey such
good send off on his new appointment that
we give Il, though l. handles Ben Simpson
rather roughly. "'Gen.' Ben Simpson

land. Or, and Capt n. u. Humphrey, oi
Of Albany, Or, have been appolned com
mission to treat with lhs C@ur dAlens
Indians, an all summer job at least, with
eight dollars day pay. simpson Is no
| torious rascal, ShuPe Is decent and intel
ligent gentleman, and 'Cap'-neariy every
| body In Pendleion knows Cap Humphrey
will be one Of the most entertaining iel'
lows the Indians ever dealt with. II
| Simpson had half the honesty or manliness
that Cap has, the commission would be
| very creditabic-under this adminiatra'

Two PIcTuREs. This morning c Z

Bio HEADED.-The Albany papers, IN
their big headedness, talk as though they
can compel the Eugene militia company 10
60 there on the 4th. They evidently want
the world and think all that IL necessary Il
to ask for Il and Il viii be given them,-
Eugene GEGyd. Not 40 fast. Last yeal
the several companies were compelled tc
go to Corvallis under general order from
the department Commander, and the same
thing might possibly happen this year
The Albany papers don't pretead TO be Al
high as that, but Col Smith is. As far a
the world Is concerned we are getting ouI
share fast enough.
Dos'r PUpLIsH IT.-Like other PaPen
the DEMocRAr nearly every day has some
one whisper In Its ear, "Don't publish II.
II the local papers were to follow all oi
such advice some OF the livest items would
never appear, and do not from that reason
and ge agree with q contemporary that Z
good rule Is To publish the news regardless
Of "Don't publish IT," that Is, where !. il oi
public nature.
