HiiiHLANi), Okkoos, Nov. 8, 1S9S.

Portland, Oregon.
Ukntlkmrn: I desire to offer this as
my testimonial in liehalf of the 6-foot
Champion Binder and Bundle Carrier
purchased from you this year. For light
ness in draft ana ease of operation, sim
plicity in construction and durability,
will say that no machine to my knowl
edge in its equal, nor near It. Having cut
150 acres of grain, the machine did not
cause Die five minutes' delay, conse
quently not a cent for repairs. All the
Champion machines put in my neigh
borhood have given equally good satis
faction. In fact, I want no better ma
chine than the Champion.

Socrates has come to life once more
and Glad Tidings, the long dead city,
has been excavated from its grave of
despondency. Once more the voice of
the Philosopher is heard within her
walls, saying, "Oh I Glorious sunshine,
how we do enjoy thee after thine ab
sence of many, many weeks." We have
actually had three days sunshine, and
o e passing along the streets or public
road will notice the old mossbacks hung
upon the fence rails or street corners to
dry. But among the many wonders
discovered in the long lost city was
some gigantic bones supposed to be
those of Sinbad of whom Jasper once
wrote.
The Rev. Mr. Shulse must have
sighted from the wrong end of the com
pass needle when he stated in his no
tice that Glad Tidings was situated 3
mileB south of Marquam. The Glad
Tidings camp grounds are nituated
about 3 miles almost due northeast of
Marquam. Perchance he was like the
fellow who, was going to shoot with the
muzzle of his gun toward him. When
asked why he did this he said he had
tried it at the other end and it came
near kicking his head off.
