sale at 13 to IA cents pound, but this
is fairly good price. and will put
most of the hop raisers on easy street.
A Kentucky editor has called on the
sheriff for troops to assist him in get
ting out his paper. There are some
editors in Pendleton who will likely be
compelled to do some thing, judging
from the matter that appears in their
papers.
Pendleton is experiencing a sort of
moral wave that has been set in mo-
tion by the grand jury now in session
at that place. A job lot of indictments
has been returned against gamblers |
and prostitutes which is making life |
for that class of people. |

The trial of Ben Ward, ex-treasurer
If Clatsop county, who is under indict-

,14, 900 of county funds, was begun at

The beer produced by the Columbia
of this city has ever enjoye a
'eputation as being A /, and that it
las not lost its standing is evidenced
" the fact that the brewery is being
