effortsto build portage road between
The palles and Cello. Every man,
woman and child endorses the scheme
adopted at the Portland convention. I
am satisfied that our section Of the state
will put up its portion of the amount
needed. If Portland does not get the
river opened its Eastern Oregon trade

Puget sound

The state has shown how proud it is of
the boys by making an appropriation so
exceedingly liberal that six oyercoats
will be loaned out to each company of
go men for the men on guard duty. The
boys will be permitted to furnish their
own bed and bedding /; if they indulge in
the luxury of target practice they can
blow off their own ammunition for the
state won't furnish any, and besides all
these privileges and emoluments they
are paid a wage of $3.50 q day. You see
it's a fat job this. Let us all join.
