should be moved to Roseburg, and teach
the local papers some lessons In brotherly
love. 1t says; Cant do tive have
been offered $sS In cash and Larrel OF
Wild plum vinegar to publish The record OF
the street. While there is no doubt In our
mind that he Is n bigamist, horse ,hiei, barn
burner and anarchist sympathizer, we know
what belongs to decency and positively
refuse the bribe. There Is too much mud
throwing among the editors Of the west,
anyhow"

tortion not often witnessed: ITO the dis

a BRANCH X. R.-Our sister city Salem
IS ali full OF hopes. Here is the latest,
from the Journal: "Mr Cooper, of the
Oregon Pacific surveying corps, arrived
down on the train this afternoon. lie
comes looking up projected extension Of
the lipes Vf the Oregon Pacific from n
point near Scio To Salem. lie Is being
shown over the city and introduced by Mr
Brink, hcavey contractor on the Oregon
Pacific. The proposed route would leave
the main lines OF the Oregon Pacific at
Scio Junction, following n northwesterly
course until the valley of the Willamette
should be reached This would be fol-
lowed as close TO the river as practicable,
until Salem was reached. The road will
enter this city from the south"
