is the waya letter is addressed TO the
DEMOCRAT. II is from Rex ii and has
something to tell about a Rocky Noun

quite "hifalutin, but we will not be able
booming city. An old school mate Of
DEMocRAT man, at the seat Of the great
Carnival has accumulated about 500, 600
by fortunate speculations in real estate.
He left home gawky boy, under cloud,
and swore by the eternals that be would
never go back until he was worth 600
and did not. He finished the $4,000

HUNrrxeroE CoMNG.--It is expected
that Huntington will leave for Oregon
either to-day or Wednesday, says a dis
patch, for the purpose Of inspecting the
company's property in the Webfoot state.
Gen Thomas A Hubbard and Thomas Il
Stillman, legal representatives Of Mrs.
Hopkins Searles, who has recently be-
come directories Of the Southern Pa
ciiic Company, will accompany him. The
principal object OF Huntington's trip
north is 10 look into his personal rail-
road purchases. A road which he now
owns is the Or gJn;1n railway, narrow
gauge line about I2j miles long, running
from Coburg, on the east side Of the VIII
lamette river, TO Portland.
Ten ACRE FRUn FARMs.-The Salem
nurserymen found their stock Of fruit
trees quite inadequate to meet the de-
mand Of their customers, and 80 as not
to be caught mapping again this spring,
they are planting an unprecedented
amount Of seed. This stimulus TO the
fruit growing business has been impart-
ed by the Oregon Land Company, whose
choice 10 acre lots have been sold 10
land seekers from all parts Of the Union,
and have largely been devoted TO orchard
ing. A 10 acre fruit farm, we may inci-
dentally remark, judiciously planted and
carefully tended, when in full bearing
will return better living 10 the owner
than the average Of mercantile incomes.
THE Oregon City Courier published a
! list Of its dead beat subscribers. Every
paper in Oregon should do it. The man
who will sneak out Of paying his subscrip-
/ tion to his local paper, would steal II the
opportunity offered.-Ex.
The DEMocRAT would ike some way To

dead beat customers than merchants
Perhaps all should do it but the policy
is very questionable ono, though, in fact
