a number of editors aud proprietors of
leading dailies. and all impress

and hardships coming up from San

we're not in the best of humor. Soon
after crossing the Oregon line, how.
ever, their cares vanished. They got
plenty to eat, and many remarked
that they had the first good nights
sleep they had had for days. The
cool nights were refreshing, and their
slumbers were undisturbed. More

had not received before, and now all
are in the best of spirits aud ready to
see anything the citizens Of Portland
can show them. They will be here
all day to-day.
