The Portland Sunday Mercury has al
ways been noted for being great josher.
Last Sundays issue has this jab: "They
do say that the Condor man has a real
nice time with his Portland female
beauty; and that the time he took his
family TO the theater he had his "girl"
sitting behind them to "take them in."
Our town Is certainly running down
at the heel" when IL cannot afford a
butcher shop, and our people have to
send TO smaller neighboring towns for
beef All the other towns In the coun-

Large numbers Of men are deserting
from the U. s. navy. An investigation
shows that they are nearly all Of foreign
birth. This serves TO emphasize the
fact that the United States soldiers and
sailors should be chosen exclusively
from American applicants. In time Of
war we can not depend on an army and
navy Of foreign sympathisers.- -Orego-

The rickety old covering has been torn
off the large spring In Main street, the
hole dug larger and II will be walled up
with lumber and fixed up better than 1t
ever was before. We hope move will
soon be made TO prepare some protection
from FIRE for the entire town, by build
Ing windmill and cistern in the north
end Of town. There is plenty Of city
money on hands 10 do the work, and it
could not be expended TO better advan-
tage.
Rev. August Bade returned from Wes.
ton last week. He says IL is magnifi-
cent sight just now TO see the vast fields
Of golden wheat waving all over Una
tilla county, as far as the eye can see.
io says they began harvesting over
there last week and that the yield will
be something like 90 bushels 10 the acre
this season. Just why that section is q
month earlier than this and the yield
several times as large IL difficult TO un-
derstand, hut it seems to be so.
All OF the papers have said many un-
pleasant things about the Hon. Abdul
Hamid Of Turkey and one Weyler, now
in Cuba--two as hloodthirsty butchers
as ever cut throat. With the GLoBR's
usual disposition TO be fair to oil parties
we offer them both the use OF our col
umns TO answer the accusations II they
want TO-. II they refuse to do this the
American people will continue TO think
these famous throat-cutters have no,
acted just right or done the fair thing.
