THE UNNAMED CHUDDA.

How a Dry-GoodS Clerk Earned Twenty
Cent Advance in Salary.
"No," said the old lady from Smiths
Landing, as she sat wistfully chewing
the knob of her parasol before the coun-
ter at O'Brien's, 81 rally can't afford it.
It's prezactly what Mariah Ann tole me
to git-that air chudda cloth-but I
can't go over sixty cents a yard, nohow."
''It's as cheap as dirt, ma am, for
chudda CLOTH said the perspiring clerk.
"Have you ever considered the enor-
nous expense necessary to produce this
materially"
"Wall, no; can't say I ever fggered
onter it."
''We-l, ma'am, in the first place it
takes six men fourteen days to catch
chudda. They are getting terribly
scarce now"
sAre, eh?''
Eyes, ma'am, and it's awfully dan
gerous, too. You see, the old buck
chuddas-the hair of the female isn't
long enough-are awful cunning Great
ures. AS soon as they see the hunters
are after 'em they take to their holes
and don't come out for two weeks at q
time"
1.-THE poor critters"
''Fact, ma'am. OF course, all that
time the hunters have to keep still, lay
low and say nothing. They just camp
right there and take turns holding a
s1ip-noose over the hole, waiting for the
chudda to get hungry and stick his head
out"
s'And does hep"
ssThat's just it. Sometimes he does
and sometimes he doesn't. That's what
makes it SO expensive-the men are
drawing salary all this time, you know.
OF course, if he does, that settles Ii.
They just get the rope round his neck
and yank him out ia no time. II the

A LESSON IN ADvERrIs1NG.

1t is significant fact that every ma
tion that has ignored printers ink and
advertising has been swept
from the face of the earth and their
wares are unsold to this day. With
the single exception Of old Pharaoh's
brick-yard ad. which appears in an
ancient Hebrew publication as a free
local, the Egyptian merchants were as
silent as their mummies. No Cartha-
genian was ever known to occupy a
square in any of the daily papers pub
lished in his realm, and when we last
heard from these hucksters every busi-
ness house was closed and the dealers
had either enigrated or quit business.
The Grecian's name never appeared in
a business directory, ne had nododgers
struck, and never paid cent for cleo
tros. The result is that the Grecian
merchant is left in peaceful possession
of a moth-eaten stock that would dis
grace a ten-cent counter in a variety
store. In vain do we search the news
papers of Rome fromg the period OF
Julius Cesar to Grover Cleveland for
either pay local or a standing adver-
tisement, and what do we see? Moth
ing but bankruptcy, broken pottery
and faded signs. TIE Babylonians ex.
celle0 IN Cne manufacture OF certain
styles of brick, but they turned the
cold shoulder to the printer and they
have had their baked earth on hanC
/ four thousand years, while ID. w. Har
din of Lebanon sold an entire kiln il
one summer as the result of dollar
and-a-half ad. "Go to, weep an,
| howl" We men who think you car
carry on a business without advertis
/ ing; it were as useless as to try to ligh
up the Pacific by floating beacons ol
her surface.

BRIpGE At ALBANY.

EDITOR LEBANON ExPREss:
In view Of the quiet agitation In GER
tain localities locally interested to
have bridge built, principally at the
expense of the county, ncross the Will
lamette river ut Albany. and from the
further private understanding that the
board of commissioners as now consti-
tuted-at least a majority of the board
are favorable to the proposition, it
might not be out of place for the peo-
pie and the taxpayers to fully under
stand the matter and weigh well the
subject before such action is taken.
Internal improvements, where they
can be safely undertaken and put
through without great cost or serious
Inconvenience to the many, should be
developed. The question naturally
arises, Is the construction of bridge
at Albany necessity? Also, Is the
county prepared, at the present time,
TO assume the greater part Of the ex-
pense, in the present condition of its
financial affilirs? The necessity is
surely not one of vital Importance to
the majority of the people of the
county; in fact it might seem that the
citizens of another county might be
more directly concerned than those
upon whom the expense would fall
and yet it is understood that Benton
county has no money TO aid in build
ing bridge. The only object that any
citizen of Linn county would have in
the bridge, financially considered,
would be that it might induce trade
from those living near in Benton
county. This might benefit those en-
gagged in trade in n small way, but the
great mass of the people would receive
no benefit IN that particular in the
least.
From the semi-annual report of the
county clerk, ending Sept. 80, 1890, it
is shown that the couaty was in debt
to the amount of near $4,000. Since
that time claims have been allowed
and other temporary arrangements
made which will not fall far short of
double that amount. With this amount
to be paid aud with the tax levy being
increased to Is mills To simply meet
the necessary expenses and indebted
ness, IL might seem foolish to ask the
taxpayers whether they are ready TO
add a fourth or half more to their
annual donations to the county aud
\ state. When 1t is considered that
every man, woman and child, on an
average, pays about So each for county
expenses, to add on more, in view OF
all the circumstances, would seem net
the part of wisdom. 4 county heavily
in debt is no inviting field for men OF
capital to invest in building new i'm
/ dustries-
We trust that this matter viii be
! fully considered IN all its bearings, and
that no action will be taken by our
! present board until the question has
been submitted to the people aud their
I verdict obtained TAx-PAYER.

EpIToR LEBANON ExrREss:
May tinquire who II the writer of a
series OF articles IN your paper against
the "filtty habit'' OF using tobacco?
Ia vain have we waited for something
pointed, logical and conclusive from
the would-be philosopher. Week after
week have we been afflicted with his
pompous verbosity only to be left in
the fOg-banks of empty words aud
meaningless jargon. Far be it from us
to defend habit SO filthy, or excuse
practice so disgusting. Everyone who
uses the noxious weed is a better argtl-
inent against this narcotic than are the
six communications which abound in
words without meaning and careless
statements made regardless of prcof.
Men are not reformed by shouting
moral maXims at them, and the writer
may as we'll attempt to lombard Gill
raltar with boiled peas as to try TO re-
form men by his lame, lengthy and
