MISFITS.

| The Salem papers continue TO have
plenty of fun. The statesman says oil
the Journal man: "Hoier is a malicious
| liar, for even lunatics can lie. and refers
10 his office as Her Most's den. We
shall look for very caustic reply.
Let's see. Who was the candidate for
vice president on the republican ticket
election before last? Don't emember
But will admit that he was at the time
one Of the bes. advertised men in Amer
lea. OF course. His name was on every

flour are going to Japan and China. The
Oregon National has made 20 per cent

Of former reports. bigger than last year.
The yields of grains, grasses. fruits, veg
eta6les and hops are great and glorious.
The mines are pouring out wealth al
