they have been presented with orders
eigned BY their names, for the '.Souyer-
lrsR heretofore referred 10, which they
absolutely never signed, nor authorized
signed, and, of course, they refuse TO
take them. They are men Of yeraeity.
Our readers can draw their own conelu-
si0ns as 10 what this means. The whole
scheme by which the Souvenir was
gotten up, and like atfairs. is bull-doz-
ing one, and great many who did sign
the orders did 20 against their will, %
get rid of being bored. There arc merit
orous affairs of that kind, occasionally.
though, rarely, that deserve support, and
tie UgNocRsT viii never oppose them !;
but, IL viii SPEAK against such "songen-
lra' of The Willamette valley, tliied with
cheap John scenes, many oi which II is
difficult 20 tsii 8hat they do represent,
every time. Il il time our business men
run their aiiairs and quit being forced
into schemes against their inclinations.
