following announcement of the fail
ure, or at least the closing of the Den
yer office of the Home Cooperative
company. will be news of Importance
to many Eastern oregon people, as
agents for this concern have recent
" secured many members especially
in Union and Baker counties.
The Denver Post, of Wednesday
says of the concern:
The Home Cooperative company,
building and loan concern which has
a number of investors in Denver, has !
abandoned its office in this city and |
those who have purchased homes
through the company have been in
formed that they must deal with the
home office in New Orleans The
discontinuance of the Denver office
is the result of the resignation of E.
L. Dale, who has represented the con-
cern here.
Mr. Dale's resignation was rendered
at the expiration of his contract with
the company because, he says, the
business methods of the concern
were not progressive enough. He de-
nies that the company is in any finan-
cial trouble and says that all con-
tracts made by the Cooperative have
been legally fulfilled, but the deposi-
tors in the concern are greatly agi-
tated and are making efforts to learn
why. when Mr.. Dale resigned, another
representative was not appointed for
Denver.
Government Interferes.
The Cooperative company has at
tanned public notice on several occa-
sions, as a result of complaint from
depositors. who claimed that after

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.

Warren J. Courtney, of Mundy
Point, on the Potomac, had about
four hundred gallons of shucked
oysters hauled overland distance of
IL miles to catch steamer Potomac
Friday on her down trip to Norfolk.
Other oyster dealers and merchants
engaged in like efforts to connect
with the only steamer trip of all last
week.
Seth K. Miller, secretary of the
State Board of Fisheries, was in Rich.
mond last week to secure bids for
the construction of metal oyster tubs.
These tubs will be stamped with the
official seal of Virginia and will be
the standards of measurement for
oysters. Mr.. Miller had samples of
these tubs which he submitted to
several manufacturing firms of Rich
mond who desire to bid on the con-
tract.
The large cities that depend on
the Chesapeake and It's tributaries
for their supply of oysters are con-
fronting a serious oyster famine.
Most of the dealers are entirely out
of the shell food and the outlook is
not at all promising for their stocks
being replenished soon. The oyster
industry lie paralyzed owing to every
thing being blocked with ice, and
means of conveying to market the
few oysters that might be gotten to
is cut off. Many oyster boats are
partly loaded and have been 80 for
weeks but cannot get to market with
their cargoes.

The average man will not read an
editorial over three inches long, and the
average woman will not read one much
over three lines. Not few readers find
the limit of their interests in newspapers
after they have read the headlines and
the advertisements. This is fact; but
it seems difficult for some publishers,
who spend themselves and their money
in making great mass of waste paper
to understand it.-Petersburg Index
Appeal.
This is pretty good as rule, but
the exception to prove the rule is to
be found in the country and the local
paper. While very few patrons of "
local paper attempt to wade through
long, prosaic editorials, rife with
cold statistics and political harrsn-
cues, this does not hold good of the
rest of the paper. Our experience is
that the ladies make dive for the

reached-Ropl goes the sheet and

less, of the same mind. If the paper

"church paper" subscribed for in
that family the local sheet Is banded
