He that gets all he can honestly and saves all he gets (necessary expenses excepted) will certainly become rich."

"Manufacturers," "Factorymen," "Mill Men," 'Millers," "Jolly Millers." From the electric plant, the "Elec trics," "Electricians," "Voltas." From our ever famous falls, the "Cataracts," "Falls City Victors," and "Falls City Sluggers." The number of Oregon City people employed in Portland, and making the trip every day suggests the name "Commuters." Others are "Red Sox," "Cardinals," "Woolwork ers." "Steel-heads," and "Pulp Toss ers." Last, but not least Is the "Pa per Weight Nine," or "Paperweights," coming as they do from a city that is vortually built from the paper Indus try, they are expected to do as a pa per weight does, keep the fluttering changes of the league standing well under control, and always remain on top. .

Trusting that this name will be considered among the rest of your list, Iremain, your most respectfully, CARL P. NEHREN. Oregon City, Or., March 23, 08.
