A CREDIT TO THE STATE
The Annual Edition r.f tho Dr. I
goniati vas 'a credit to the state of
Oregon and to the Oreeonian. The
descriptive matter and pictures of
Oregon 'b resources r.ill attract the
atu-ntioi of the non-resident and
t ill s'.rve to impress upon the Ore
gon resident the great resources ano
advantages of the state in which he
lives.
This yiar. as in former years, the
Oree-mian has done a great service
i " the stare.
Commenting on the personnel of
the legislature, the Oregon Voter has
this to say of the representative from
Columbia rountv. Hon. Sh
Miles: "Only democrat elected to,!
legislature. against re-,
punnran opposition; because of his
high Ktanding and because his poli
tics were so well concealed that inaa
rerteritly he was appointed by A L
.Mills to solicit republican campalen

he this difference?
Then, we no doubt have on oui
lists partk-s who do not care to take
the paper any longer, but do not
notify us of their desire. If they do
not want the paper we do not care
to waste good material and laboi
end:ng it to them.
The Mist has tried In every v.ay
pj.-sible to live up to the standard of
i good country newspaper, but. liki
anyone else who dues anything at
all, we n:ake mistakes now and then.
We have stood u.t fur the principle,
in which we believe and shall contin
ue to do so. We have not exploited
any personal or sectional feei;i7S or
issues, but rather the matters of a
general nature of interest to every
one, and we want the support of
every citizen in Columbia county.
