We have just dropped down
among you in n quiet sort of way,
but we wish to assure you that, if
a fair opportunity is given us, and
we have no reason to think that it
will not be given us, we have come
to stay.
For a number of years our eye
has been cast this way with the
view of some day conducting a
newspaper here, and now we are
realizing our dream of many
months.
We do not come to you with a
view of turning the world upside
down by way of great literary pro
ductions, and long winded edi
torials. We have taken up bur
abode among you with the view cf
making a decent living, and, with
economic management, hope to
gather together a few of the world's
goods that we may be comfortably
fed and sheltered in the rainy
season of life.
Our politics are, have been, and,
always will be, republican and this
paper shall attempt to be useful to
its party at such times as its ser
vices are needed. However, we
are firm in the belief that every
man even newspaper men have
a perfect .right to their political
preferences, and we-detest personal
views.
. We do not believe that because
we have a hat full of Long Primer
type and a Washington hand press
that we are a little god, and that it
is our mission in the newspaper
field to advise and tell our law
makers and administration how to
Hurra for Hurra.

It's one town now by the eonseii
of all the people, and the compli
ments of the Oregon legislature.
For thcbcncfit of all strangers,
and neighboring towns we wish to
state that this is Cottage Grove.
Some one has said that nature
never makes a mistake. If so,
how about the natural born fool

are going about right at present.
It. shall be our aim to get out a
trood local paper, devoted to the
growing interests of this city and
vicinity; and from our way of think
ing, if we do that we will fill the
bill satisfactory to the majority of
our people
We earnestly solicit the support
of every republican who is desirous
that a republican paper shall live
here; the support of every citizen
who is anxious that a wide-awake
local paper shall be published here;
of every business man desirous of
assisting a paper, that will furnish
good reading matter to subscribers
who are likewise good patrons of
business houses and readers ofad-
vertisements.
Remember that a paper cannot
live on wind and promises. The
business man tells us that it takes
money to buy gpods; it also takes
money to buy paper, and it takes
patronage to make a newspaper a
successful one and one calculated
to wield influence.
To. those who have so kindly
offered us advice and given their
friendly support we extend our
thanks.
We should bc6pleased at any and
all times to receiye calls from one
and all. We shall endeavor to
treat you right, and shall appre
ciate any interest you take in us.
Respectfully,
Editor.

The 1899 annual number of the
Oregonian has made its appearance.
It is not necessary that the country
editor should eulogize this mag
nificent number of one of the
greatest if not the greatest paper
published west of the Rocky moun
tains. Few of us can find words
with which to express our praise
regarding it. However it is an
assured fact that it is the pride of
every Uretjon newspaper man s
heart. It shows that the printing
business lives and flourishes out
West; that Oregon is a great state;
that. Portland is a business center
of the Pacific coast worthy of much
consideration; that the Oregonian is
a great paper.
Attorney Geo. Kinsey of Eu
gene, who stood trial hist week l2
fore the U. S. supreme court, Port

unlawfully landing Moy Quoy, a
Chinese laborer, has been acquitted.
However it was just by a scratch,
and the legal gentleman will tlo
well to keep out of such mixtures
in the future.
NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
When you discover that your
boy or girl has a talent in some
particular line, encourage them and
give them every opportunity to im
prove iu that line. Don't try to
whip or argue your children into
some other line of thought just be
cause you haven't a liking for the
occupation they show a desire to
follow. Give them a chance and
all the encouragement you can, and
nine times out of ten you will be
proud of them in your old age,
whereas if' you work them into
some other line, foreign to their
liking, you will in after years be
under the painful necessity of ad
nutting that they arc a "failure."
