EASILY BILKED.-Complsints regard
ing tn methods OF the range people
now canvassing the state have been
numerous. The man who prefers to
patronize foreigners to his home dealers
deserves no sympathy, but we publish
complaint from Oregon City to chow the
nature Of the swindle: Victims OF the
home comfort wrought iron cooking
| range swindle are numerous in this
county. Eighteen farmers at Molalla
boaght the ranges at So each, giving
notes due November l, with the under
] standing and verbal agreement that sns
i length OF time 10 suit the convenience
Of the maker OF the notes would be
granted by the eompany-eyen ak or
eight years, for the company had plenty
OF capital and never disposed of it's pa
per. But the notes turned up in the
hands CT third persons, and must be
paid, and there is trouble. Half dozen
farmers were in town today to zee il the
l grand jury would afford them relief or
satisfaction. There were numerous pur-
4 ebasers OF these wonderful ranges
4 through the Molalla, Marquam and the
/ Scott's Mill country. The same kind o!
ranges can be bought here for $50"

work in old claims, mining in a rough
way, and in about three months work
cleared $l94 above his expenses and cost
of living, and has provisions enough on
hand to last him several weeks. He has
been working hard and has demonstrated
what can be done by honest effort. On
his return home be at once settled up =

him, and placed himself square with the
world bis mining operations have been
Icarried on at Whisky Greek, and he viii
return there in few weeks to continue
work. He has been struggling along on
his claim on Mohawk, but finds that
mining even in his crude style pays much
beiter.-Register.
