CHANCE FOR YOUNG MAN
NEW JERSEY GIRL IS ANXIOUS TO
START CORRESPONDENCE WITH
AN oREGoNIAN.

Since Joe Teal has been going back
East every few weeks there has been a
sudden demand in the East for Oregon
men, the demand coming from fair girls
who evidently either have not steadies
or else have a kind they do not like.
This is evidenced by the numerous let
ters received by Governor West from
eastern young ladies, who want to be
put in communication with "nice young
Oregon men," They also realize that
the governor is willing to help the poor
and downtrodden in every walk of life.
and will do all he can to assist the love-
lorn damsels to acquire the salt of the
earth in the person of some big, husky,
good-natured Webfooter. Here is a
sample letter.
Camden, N. J.
Just line to ask you if you know
of any nice young man who would like
to correspond with an eastern girl, if so
would be pleased to hear from one.
MISS G. DAVIS,
527 Benson Street, Camden, N. J..
The governor plays no favorites and
hence gives all the young fellows who
want to practice writing letters to an
eastern girl a chance to do SO. You
might draw a prize, but there being a
woman in the case we will not gamble
on it.
