FRIDAY, JUNE II, 1907.
Will Mayor Lane swing a big
stick during his second term.
If things keep on the name OF
Oregon will be changed to U'Ren.
The business men composing the
Marshfield Commercial club spend
$500 month advertising the re-
sources OF that town. Suppose.
The furniture trust is reported
10 have been dissolved. Whether
this will have any effect OH the
price of furniture remains to be
seen.
Irrespective OF the guilt OF Meyer,
Haywood or Pcttbone that creature
Orchard will go down in history as
one of the greatest monsters OF
modern times.
Who is the man 10 wage the war
upon obnoxious weeds aud thistles'
There are many OF them growing
nicely and will soon be going To
seed in this mans town unless de
stroyed at once.
Talk about Furnishing your enc
mics Look at Mayor Lane of
Portland giving the saloon keepers
the pumpkin smile aud at the same
time letting the district attorney
knock the tar ont OF them. Doctor
Harry has unique way Of chas-
tising.
Many of us have heard that old,
old story about the dollar that was
sent away To mail order house,
but when II comes to sending away
from home tot what YOU want 81.
Johns has bunch that can give
the mail order buyers cards and
spades aud then have something ,
left.
Guess all you want to on this
bluff about closing the saloons on /,
Sunday, but guess twice that It
will not stick It Is simply grand
stand play ior little cheap advcr-
tising. The saloons may close for T,
one OF two Sundays but a way will
be- discovered To avoid the enforce,
mcnt OF the law
Oregon, a Republican state, has
Democratic governor; Portland,
Republican city, has Demo
cratic mayor. And now Tom
Richardson threaten, to run toI
congress on the Democratic ticket
II he runs that means a Democratic
member oi congress from Rcpub-
lican state. You bet, Oregon -
going some.
Coal to right OF rs, coal to left OF
rs, coal ON all sides ol us and mil
lions OF cords OF wood on thouS
aud hills, and still Oregon is threat
ened with fuel famine next winter
The thought Is something awful,
but II is fact nevertheless. But p,
as long as the railroads do not send
ont squad To hog lie and rob ~
oi our valuahlcs We may all be
thankful
We have all heard the big crop
stories from many parts ot the !
country, but a White River VALLEY
ranchcr living near Tacoma spoke
his little piece the other day When
he finished all the crop liars be
tween kalamazoo and the Silton
sea hung their heads The Wash 4
ington man claim, Ia have cleared .
500, 600 of OF ieS-acrc field of 4
potatoes.

Joaquin Miller SAYS ne will soon
return To Oregon 10 take up resi-
dence for the purpose OF becoming
candidate for the United States
senate This is an perfectly right
and proper, hut 1t the quaint old
mouutainecr will explain away the
charge OF plagiarism against him
concerning one OF his most popular ..
rhymes the people OF Oregon will
be just as we'll satisfied,

That little election teChniCaliY
did not seem TO inyalidatc the big
issue OF bonds by the city OF Port
land, and the 5000, 900 bonds /
voted AT the recent election are ~ q
carats fine according to the Port n
land bankers who want To hubble at L
the pile But when ST. Johns Il
wanted TO issue a little biz of a bond Il
TO build a city hall she had an aw a
iul hard row To hoe all on account /
OF the decision OF these very same Il
bankers. \
