1t was half a century ago that Willamette
University was removed to Salem, says the

the Chemawa School now stands. There
was but little discussion over its removal to
Salem then. Everybody wanted it to come.
The school is now to be returned north, but
will be several miles from its early site,
when it was merely mission school for the
Indians
When the Indian school was established
near Salem, Oregon, many years ago Father
Parrish pioneer educator and one well
versed in the native languages, was asked
to name the institution He did so and

of the Postofficr. Now the Government has
ordered the name changed to Harrison In
stitute and the people of the whole State

The Goldendale (Oregon) Sentinel saws
| For nine years Goldendale has had no
| saloon, and its homes have been happier on
account thereof The saloon brings neither
| happiness, health nor wealth to the fire.
| auenter thereof The saloon is .he enemy
| of good government and the promoter Of
almost all forms of vice. The establishment
| of saloon in G0ldendale will do no one
any good, but on the other hand, will
bring great harm to many. Fathers and
mothers, it is not to your interests to en-
courage the establishment of saloon III our
| quiet little city.
| The Truckee Republican rises to remark
President Harrison is going to visit this
Coast this month. He is coming out by the
Southern route and will return by the North
ern Pacific. This is treating Truckee very
| shabby, and some one is at fault. The Pres
| ident's managers either have grudge
| against Truckee or have been misinformed
| In regard to this town. The President
| doesn't know what he is missing when he
| gives Truckee the go-by. His Western trip
will not be complete without a visit to our
| mountain metropolis, and when he finds out
after he gets home that he hasn't seen
Truckee he'll be real mad at somebody. We
call the attention of his advance agent to
this matter and hope the mistake may be
