Now we have Senator Piles, and his
brother has been appointed a member
of the State Board of Cont rol, by Gov.
Mead. If the Piles have any rela-
tiyes back East, for Heavens sake get
'em out here soon as possible.

The Seattle Times will expose the

1t is rumored in Chicago that Sir
Thomas Upton, who was in that city
recently. ostensibly on business, was
looking for vile. He could not have
selected better place to hunt for one.
1t is always the open season for this
kind of hunting in Chicago. If the
Irish baronet sees q woman that he
wants it will not matter much if she
is already married. This is not re-

bedfellows, to be sure. Still. q man

The Leader, of Castle Rock, issue
Oct. l8. edited by Mrs. Fletcher, pays
its respects to the editor OF the Kelso
Journal. The Leader opens the hall
iu this manner:
Just why the Kelso Journal of last
week has the following sur for the
Leader in its editorial columns.
Then follows the article the Journal
published referring to the Leader.
Continuing the Leader says:
If the Journal with a capital j. will
do the work the editor OF the Leader is
compelled to do each week, perhaps he
will not have so much time to cast slurs
at our typographical work. Being alone
and a woman, makes our work just
double, for we must needs look after our
house and little children (three of whom
are less than IL years of age). Then the
newspaper work which consists, as the
Journal man we'll knows. of the editorial,
reportorial, business management, job
work and ad setting, besides sometimes
going to the cases when one OF the daugh-
ters has more than her young shoulders
can carry of steady work. OF course We
cannot expect man who lives in kelso
to be any more generous in his bearing
towards a woman who has the good for
tune to live in Castle Rock. Still we
did expect more from Mr.. Kellogg, from
our previous acquaintance with him.
But such is the world.
