P. seems to know more about the -fish, than myself, he Ms sliehtly , in error iri regard to the weight and length of the fish in ques tion, which has, in his imagination, grown some three inches in length and two ounces in weight in the two weeks past since the catching and it is more than likely due to the slow process of L. P's. turning this over in his mind. If the party signing L. P. will kind ly, look in the La Grande Evening Ob server of August 12th he will have the light drawn upon' his mind as to who caught the fish. . ; j , Yours for fish, ':,-. .- ' V CLINT VAN FLEET. LOANING POSTAL MONEY, ;, The sincerity and good intent of Postmaster Myers of Portland can not be questioned, when he, advises , the post-office department at Wash ington to loan money in the postal sav- 1 Ings banks to farmers with which to improve their farms. The only ques tion is the feasibility and the machine that would be necessary to negotiate these Joans. ' .;k .That the money could be loaned at four or five per cent there is little doubt, but how is the government go ing' to prevent speculation after the MINISTERS CONGREGATE.

Every banker today Js, put to many a thoughtful hour over a , foari he has made to some man for 'the purpose of improving lands or moving crops, but who has changed ' W( mind after receiving the money and decided to speculate with it. ''ijlt would seem necessary, in order to iohow postmaster Myers' idea, for ' the ' government to superintend the investment of the money thus, loaned '. and this would entail endless work and worry."
