| 1T will soon be Jan. lst, 1891, and MS
vet we have not had enough rain 10
wet the ground fifteen inches. Still
we have not lost faith In Oregon wealth
er. Oregon, like all other states, is sub
ject to climatic changes to a certain
extent, but there is yet ample time in
which to redeem herself and she will
do it.
Our enterprising merchant G. c.
/ hackleman, whose advertisement
adorns the northeast quarter of the
EXPRESS, has laid on our table bound
copy of Rand and McNallyis Stan6-
ard Atlas of the World, q copy of which
he proposes giving to every customer
who purchases thirty dollars worth
of goods.
Il In n week or two we shall publish
some facts and figures touching the
growth of our town the last year. The
amount expended in building for the
year 1890 may be relied upon, and If
other towns throughout the valley can
show as good n record for the same
: length of time, tho past year has been
one of unwonted prosperity.
F. E. Bodwell, son of our merchant
B. F. Bodwell, was kicked in the face
by horse ten days ago, which pn-
dered him for time insensible. A
nad cut was made in his cheek, hole
cut through the lower lip, and about
eighteen teeth were Knocked out. The
: wounds are about healed, but the most
serious as well as painful part of the
damage is the loss of so many teeth.

The Lebanon canal, when empleted
next year, VIII afford us abundance of
! water power for manufactures of every
! description. We have already good
water power, which is utilized by the
paper mill, flour mill and one planer,
P but we shall not be satisfied with our
manufacturing industries until we get
al oatmeal mill, boot and shoe
factory, tannery, and few other ii-
dustries which make the building OF
, the canal Imperative.
Brother Dugger of the Scio Press
was in Lebanon Monday, and of course
! called on the EXPRESS. He tells Us
!, that the branch road is now completed
to Scio, that they have an excellent
electric-light plant, that the Santiam
: Mineral Paint Company are doing q
/ good business, and that the Press Is on
= solid basis, and we therefore conclude
/ that Scio is prosperous town. Sue
: -ess to you, Brother, and the town
4 whose interests you so carefully guard
b We learn that Rev. n. L. New OF
Scio was the victim of very agreeable
surprise on the eve of Dee. 18th. An an
. ! niverSary meeting or social gathering
= bad been planned for the occasion BY
kind friends who in addition to n boun-
tiful rapast resented TO the Reverend

y wife wish TO express their apprecia
ton of the gift and also their thanks t

prise.
i. Halls Journal of Health in a recent
issue tells people what to eat in colo

Granting that but one individual
would be benefited by it, still our love
:, for the units of humanity Is so greai
g that we eheerfulIy make the sacrifice
A number of our readers are taking
:, advantage of the reduced rate at which
! we are offering the EXPRESS. If oul
! subscribers would pay the small sum:
!, due the EXPRESS, and a good many
new subscribers would give us 81 81
5 cash, We would enter upon the new yea

n We understand there are some VIII,
\ are opposed to the extension of our cit,
limits. As the corporation lines nov
;, run we believe there is bu
4 one industry that is in the cit,
: proper, while two planers, ma
\ chine shop, -four mill and a pape
mill, together with prospective indus
tries, belong to the rural districts. w
g hope that sober reflection and a pro
s. gressive spirit will outweigh this rura
e idea of Matching cities for the benefi
d of outlying districts. However,
the latter idea prevail, then we wOul'
fl better tear out our walks, pull dowl
