vertisements, but Il Is TO get In and rusSie
for the advertiser, Just naturally make the
sweat pour of for him. So far as we are
concerned this Philadelphia firm can go to
northern Alaska for all OF us.
Foolish RUMoR-The Oregon Misf has
gotten in and hatched up runor, very
ridiculous one too, particularly when II Is
remembered that Chicago and Northwest
ern stockholders have also millions Of dol
lars investedin the Oregon Pacific. The
Afisf says "The rumor now Is that the
Chicago and Northwestern railroad, which
IS building now through Idaho, to reach
an outlet on the Pacific coast, has changed
Its intention In regard to connecting Sith
the Oregon Pacific, and making Yaqulna
Bay their terminus, and will instead build
to Astoria" When the c < n w want to 90
to Astoria they will do so by way OF Al
bany. Keep that In your head
A DAMPENER A Portland paper
throws the following cold water on the
State reform school. "The appropriation
of $4,000 for State reform school by our
last Legislature was just so much inoney
thrown away. The difficulty in California
with such an institution was, that you had
10 convict a child Of misdemenor or felony
before he could be sent there; and no man
wants to sit upon jury ard convict the
son Of his neighbor. perhaps less than 10
years old, of a crime. The experiment
cost California $760,ooo from first to last :;
and the great deserted building siards near
Marysville on the old Honcut road"
