OCHOCO REVIEW. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 18W. LET0REU0SIAS8 WAKE VP. The experience of the recent cen sus taking in this state presents a lesson by which Oregoniann should profit, and it ought to cause them to wake up and try to prevent a like occurrence happening when it is in their power to prevent it.

The reply from the 'Forks of the Willamette,' duly fowarded by stage and train, was written in lead pencil on a piece of brown paper. They thought this was Hying pretty high, but were totally unprepared for the magnif icent ideas the commissioner de veloped when they met him. With much enthusiasm, but in a some what cautious tone, as though he feared the effect of the shock upon their systems, he said that in his opinion Oregon ought to spend 20,000 on her exhibit.

Mr. Wilkins is a nice old gentle man, well respected, and his con nection with the State Agricultural Society has been creditable, but he is not the kind of a man to have charge of this state's exhibit at the Ohicago exposition. He is too old and his ideas are too much anti quated. Live, energetic men, with modern ideas and a conception of what the exposition will be and what sort of an exhibit the state must make in order to attract at tention, men who arc not niggardly in their views, but liberal and wil ling and anxious to push Oragon to the front, are the kind of persons who should have this matter in hand ; not men who write their letters on brown paper and expect fair runner aid will probably.be re elected. their jth date of adjournment, at which time the tariff bill as reported, by the concurrent committee was, to j ramz have passed both houses.
