S.. 1880. Last year t was $4,lo0, the
increase this year being due to the
Lewis and Clark Fair, the Dalles- Cello
canal appropriations, ETC., and not to
an ungodly conspiracy of the Commits
soners' Court, as some of our innocent
taxpayers have been made to believe.

primary held yesterday unanimously

Oregon has been getting good wet
ting during the past two months, but
from here to the Atlantic coast they
have been getting billiards, cyclones,

and pay your money.
