Lander, in which transferred to him
the business interests of my Mt. Pleas

editor thrown in for good measure
along with the devil and the Office cat,
the most difficult point he and had
to settle was as to which Office of the
paper, that in Columbia or that in MT.

Finding 1t Impossible to settle the
matter. we agreed to compromise. and
