the country. Heretofore mules were used
exclusively. but of late horses are supplant-

growing. Together with Mr.. A. L. Brown,

negotiate with Woods Bros.
Salem Statesman: Some of the Oregon |
county courts have been in the habit of hav- |
ing the county printing and binding done |
by firms in the big cities at the high prices, |
because they promise photographic" work.
etc. The average Oregon taxpayer does not
know the difference between photographic
printing and decent printing by the ordinary
process-and there is not much difference,
except in price. If good printing from
type is good enough for our business men,
1t is good enough for our county officials,
and they should patronize home industry,
where they get their money and their votes.

large quantities Of fish and fruit this month.
This region is becoming well known all over
the United States as the great fish market
of the world, and none OF the inhabitants
of the eastern rivers or Gulf of Mexico can
equal the succulent salmon of the Columbia
river. This Is true also of our fruit, and
Dalles, Mo ier and Hood River peaches,
prunes and epples coz mand the hIghe t
prices OF auy IN eastern cities because of
their excellent favor. The futur, of this
region Is we'll assured, and hereafter the
United States will look 10 the northwest
for its fruits. fish aud timber, and these in
lustres are yet in their infancy. Eastern
and European capital will be attracted here
