Owing to an oversight on the part of
the proof reader, we omited to give the
Daily Telegram, of Portland, credit for
the article
entitled, “Killed his
Father,” on first page. The article be
longs to them.
From the amount for which the con
tract for Ashland-Klamath Falls mail
service has been let, it is evident that
instead of a stage service, the mail will
be carried by carrier on horse back.
Very little benefit indeed will Ashland
and the valley in general derive from
such a service.
Last week’s issue of the Weekly
Times, of Portland, says: “The News
boy, of Portland, and the A dvertiser ,
of Ashland, Ore., are spatting over no
thing.
Hope they both come out
ahead.”
From this, we infer that the Newsboy
has published something smart(?)—or
what its conceited editor thought as
such. This must be the case, as we have
not received a copy of that sheet since
our challenge. “Spatting” is out of the
question. We challenged the Newslioy
and expected its publisher to meet the
challenge as a man and not publish ar
ticles that he was afraid or ashamed to '
have us see.
We challenge the Newsboy again and
are ready to refer the matter to any
competent ami disinterested person or I
persons for settlement.
Come, Mr. Cohen, be a man. Either
prove your assertion or acknowledge our
superiority.

Education begins the gentleman, but
reading, good company and reflection
must finish him. He can never be good
to himself who speaks evil of others
upon mere suspicion.
Just here, the words of Rev. Pley,
Methodist, on dancing with reference to
the Christian people, might not l>e out
of place. He says: “The churches that
are the most aggresive and successful
are those most opposed to dancing,

Every Christian
