The Telegram continues to rub it In oft Oregon City people, and the way io which some of them insist on being bit ten is a caution. For the past two weeks, not a word of Oregon City news has been printed in the Portland edi tion of the Telegram. The space filled by local news in the Oregon City edi tion is filled up with news from other towns in the big Portland edition. But anything is good enough for the back woods denizens of Oregon City, Lone interviews with prominent citizens and business men, and the doings of our big teachers' institute are not good enough to publish to the outside world. They are all right for the limited population in Oregon t'tty. But the reporter is not to blame for this. He does his level best, and works hard to give Oregon City affairs good write-ups. It is the head manage ment that discriminates agalnBt Oregon City, and when some of our people think they are getting advertised abroad, they are fooled.
