Eastern Oregon, Can and will furnish more good reading matter and reliable Local and Foreign news, than any other' paper in Oregon, For Less Money. We will send the Bedrock Democrat, Godey’s Lady’s Book, AND W o o d s Household Magazine, To one address, ONE YEAR, for Six D o lla r s in A d v a n ce. The D emocrat contains 3 8 columns every week; it is the Official Paper for Baker and Grant counties, and the Lady’s Book and Wood’s Household Magazine are two of the best Magazines published. Now is the Time to Subscribe. You are certain to get your paper aud maga­ zines, and need have no fears of either of them giving out or dying before the end of the year. The BEDROCK DEMOCRAT now has a larger paying subscription list than any other two papers published in EASTER N O R EG ON, and is constantly and rapidly increasing in circulation, and iB the best Advertising Medium East of the Cascade Mountains. It is the Live, Peoples’ Paper—It is owned by no Ring or Clique——aud works for the inter­ ests of the People, the Democratic Party, and of Eastern Oregon. Newspaper Delinquents. It is dow coming near the first of a new year, at which time it is ex­ pected that old bills should be set­ tled. This rule applies to business of all kinds, and is particularly ap­ plicable to the printing business.— "We have some subscribers names on. our books who have not paid us one cent since we became connected with the D emocrat ; these men expect us to give them a good paper every week, but how we could do so, if all our subscribers were like them, is a mystery we would like them to solve for us. The amount each subscriber who is in arrears owes us is small to them but when put together makes a large sum lor us. Every­ thing we use in our business has to be paid for in cash at the time it is ordeied, aud we have to look to our business for the money to meet these demands. There is not a man whose name is on our books but what is able to pay the amount he owes us at any moment, but the amount is small and he thinks we can do with­ out what he owes us, or he forgets to pay the printer. This is not right, and wo hope our friends will thiuk of the amount they owe the printer every time they receive their paper, and immediately send the amount to us or come and pay up. We need the money, and to meet the demauds of our business must have money.— W e do not wish to be compelled to make out bills and stick them to our subscribers. If yon have not the money you have something else to spare that we need, and can send or bring us those. The following from the Quincy Herald is appropriate to the occasion: In times like the present, when every manufacturing interest is pushed to its utmost to pay bills contiuually coming due, we feel no hesitation in asking of our friends the prompt payment of the small sums due us. There is uo business so dependent npon the collection of small sums of money as that of pub­ lishing a newspaper. Almost the entire revenue of a newspaper con­ sists of sums ranging from one to five dollars. Thns it will readily be seen by those who may be indebted to us to the extent even of one dol­ lar, bow important it is to us that »bey should promptly meet the amount due. If the times are hard with our friends, they are more so with us— in fact it is 6imply impos­ sible to conduct successively the newspaper business at any time, aDd especially in ‘ times as striDgeDt as the present, without the collection of money due. The paper manufac­ turers, in oonseqneuce of hard times, ¿«tnan’d cash for paper, tb# gas com­ N EW S SU M M A R Y . W e take the following from the Sacramento Union of December 8th: The Spanish authorities keep up a steady fire on the Cartbagena insur­ gents. The Spanish press very much dis­ approve of General Grant’s message, and are very indignant at bis inter­ ference in Cuban affairs. The prosecution in its argument against Bazaine, December 6th, de­ manded first his degradation; second, his execution. An attempt has been made to burn the Yirginius, but it is now guarded by regular soldiers. The administration is not aware of any difficulty that will prevent Spain carrying out his agreement, and it is expected that the Yirginius and crew will soon be delivered to American ships in an open manner. A dispatch of the New York Her­ ald states that Minister Sickles on December Gth tendered his resigna­ tion on account of the Spanish com­ plications, he disagreeing with Sec­ retary Fish. Yv7orkmen are so busy, it is said, that none can be spared to raise a barge sunk in front of the dock where the Spanish frigate Aripiles is being repaired, at New York. So she will have to stay. The account of a new Cuban ex­ pedition from the United States is questioned by the Cuban Junta at New York. ^ ♦ O ----- The advice to return to specie pay­ ' ble case under notice is this: A vet- ments would be more satisfactory if ■ eran acquaintance of the Judge, well the President had told the country strickip iu years, asked him to take how to do it.” The article praises a drink.
