The Kind Yon HateAlwajs Bought j f!D you ever stop to compare the COURIER with other County papers? Consider a minute. There are 12 pages each page contain ing 7 colums. This makes a column more on each page than you usually get in a county weekly or 12 columns, which is equal to two extra pages when comparing with a six column paper. Then the extra length gives half a page extra. So, summing up, the County Weekly as a rule gives you 8 pages each containing 6 columns. To get the comparative size of the COURIER you must odd 6 pages which is lacking only a page and a half of being just double the size of the ordinary 8-page weekly. Only the loyal support that the COURIER has enioved throughout the County enables it to furnish such a large paper. If you are a reader of the poper call your neighbor's attention to the fact that Clackamas County has never before had so much in the way of a County Paper.
