To the Editor of the Courier : In your issue of August 28th you have the following, which as I think a great injustice to me: While in Southern Oregon recently Hon. Geo. O. Brownull tolu the people there what he thought would be good amendments to the state constitution and promised to do all he could for same and the people there believed him. We wonder if thev would do same here? I have earnestly advocated a new con- stitntion for Oregon upon many dif ferent occasion. I advocated it at the Chautauqua at Gladstone park and at Ashland last July and four years ago all over Clackamas county and during the late campaign, and the press of this state generally gave me the credit of leading the fight in the senate of 1895. I also advocated the bill which was known as senate bill No. 58 for a constitutional convention in the judiciary committee of which I was a member. This bill was reported favorably from the said committee, which report was signed by Senators Cogswell, Brownell, Cowan and Hut son, and the minority reoort was signed by Senator Denny of Multnomah county. So you will notice that I could not have fought the bill in the committee because I signed the report recommend ing its passage to the senate. That report is a matter of record. When this bill Came up for its final passage on Friday, February 15th, 1805, 1 advocated it upon the floor of the senate to the best of my ability and voted for it as well. This can be ascertained by anyone examining the senate journal at pages 536 and 537 for the year 1805. I shall do my best to secure this legislation' this coming seS' sion. Friendly yours, . . . , J' Geo. C. Bkowxkia. RURAL DELL. i Yes we are still on the land and among the populists. George and Levi Palmer are cutting wood at Tualatin. F. Eyman finished slashing his farm last week. I.J. Bigelow and A .Soule burned their slushing last week.' J. Ring's threshing machine threshed for S. Crocker lost Wednesday. Mr. Mills of Clackamas passed through our country Monday. Chas. Bigelow is still improving. H.L. Burkley is to speak at Needy Thursday evening and organize a free silver club, we understand. Tuesday evening the monthly business meeting of the Y. P. S. O. . will be held at the Smyrnia church. The hops will soon be ready to pick. Henry Warnock intends to begin pick ing the last of this week or the first of next. Mr. Lawler and also the Mosh- berger boys will probably begin about the lOtb. Grandfather Samson went down to his daughter's, Mrs. Spangler, on a visit Inst week. We have had a fine shower which will doubtless ' start the pasture to growing. G. Kuenzi has cut some brush on his place near the road which improves the looks of his place greatly. Some one set Alfred Kuenzie's fence on fire last week, which was quenched before doing much damage. This is certainly small business for people to be doing. There will be an ice cream social at the Smyrnia church Friday evening. Mr. Lon Wells has been to the monutains after huckleberries. Mrs. J. Ring has been on the sick list for some time. Politics seems to bother some of our people's good sense. The people of Rural Dell are so much interested in politics that some of them are naming their dogi after the next president. Some of the members of the Smyrnia Y. P. S. C. E. attended the union meet ing at Woodburn Sunday evening. August 31. Dew Droit. 19 pounds drj granulated sugar $1; floor 75c sack, 8 lbs rice for 25c. Red Front Trading Co. MOkEY LOANED.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for anv season, but perhaps more ifenur- ally needed in the Spring,- when the languid exhausted leuiing prevails, wnen the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is telt.
