x-Governor Geer denies that there
is any political significance in his
purchase of an interest in the Pendle-
ton Tribune. He says the conclusion
of Portland paper that he was taking
the step with the object of boosting
himself for United States Senator
later was far-fetched. Mr.. Geerthinks
political aspirant's own newspaper
is a mighty poor booster. A large
majority Of editors who have tried for
office will be inclined to agree with
him.

Hon. Ben Jones, the well-known
lawyer and legislator of Independence,
has all kinds of provocation for
beginning damage suits against a
number of newspapers, whose editors
will persist that he is the Jones that
is being tried for completely in the
Oregon land frauds. The real de-
fendant is Willard N. Jones, a former
member of Multnomah county, and
not the irrepressible b. T. of Polk and
Lincoln.
