AN APPEAL TO THE
FARMERS OF OREGON
There is undoubtedly an organized
effort being made by the EXPRESS
COMPANIES AND MERCHANTS AS
SOCIATIONS to defeat any candidate
for the office of u. S. Senator or Rep
resentative in Congress who favors
PARCELS POST. All who have been
aggressive in support of this "Over
due Reform" have incurred the en
mity of the above interests and it ia
now evident that a quiet and concerted
effort is being made to defeat them at
the PRIMARY ELECTION AND se
cure the nomination of men who are
in sympathy with the interests and
are opposed to PARCELS POST. The
. usual tactics are resorted to, such as
personal abuse, in order to throw dust
in the eyes of the voters and cover up
the REAL ISSUE, but their main hope
is that a great many FARMERS WILL
NEGLECT TO REGISTER FOR THE
PRIMARY ELECTION which will be
held April the 19th.
WE APPEAL TO THE FARMERS
OF OREGON, AND ALL OTHERS
WHO "FAVOR PARCELS POST, TO
REGISTER BEFORE THE BOOKS
ARE CLOSED ON APRIL 9fh at 5
p. m., Ihen go to the polls on April
19th and VOTE FOR PARCELS POST
by voting for MEN WHO WILL REP
RESENT YOU in this matter. We
have no Initiative and Referendum as
yet in NATIONAL AFFAIRS and must
be represented by proxies In these im
portant issues. Be sure you vote for
MEN WHO REPRESENT YOU and
not the merchants associations and
express companies.
THE CANDIDATES ARE SELECT
ED AT THE PRIMARY ELECTION,
and if you allow the. other fellow to
make the selection you will have no
choice but to vote for HIS PROXY at
the November election and HE will
have a representative in Congress and
"not YOU.
IF WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THIS OPPORTUNITY to DO some
thing for PARCELS POST AND
SHOW OUR APPRECIATION OF
THE WORK ALREADY DONE for
this cause, it will likely influence the
enactment of A PARCELS POST LAW
AT THE PRESENT SESSION OF
CONGRESS, but if we neglect this op
portunity and the interests succeed in
nominating their candidate, it will be
some time before another SENATOR
OR REPRESENTATIVE WILL DARE
TO TAKE A PRONOUNCED STAND
FOR PARCELS POST.
SIX YEARS IS A LONG TIME TO
WAIT, MANY OF US WILL BE DEAD
BEFORE THAT TIME.
Every civilized country on the
Globe, save the U. S. A., has a GEN
ERAL PARCELS POST.
FARMERS, DO YOUR DUTY!
YOUR VOTES ARE YOUR OWN, and
remember that THE GREAT ISSUE
IS "A GENERAL PARCELS POST."

lative Committees of the Oregon State

Epistolary Caution.
Before the customer paid his bill the
hotel stenographer tore several pages
out of her notebook and handed them
to him.
"Only the notes of his letters," she
said to the next customer. "About
once in six months somebody comes
along who keeps sueh a watchful eve
on his correspondence that he won't
even let a stenographer keep bis notes.
Of course It Is nothing to us. and we
alwa.vs give them up when asked, to.
I don't know what the cautious folk
do with them destroy them, maybe.
Anyhow, there is no record of foolish
utterances left In the stenographer's
books." New York Times.
Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
AS A NAN THINKETH.
Looking for trouble?
It scarcely seems true you should be
looking for something you dp not want.
Nevertheless a lot of people do that
And there is Scripture warrant for
the statement that you will find that
which you diligently seek.
Some persons are in life long bond
age to the fear that something unto
ward may happen them. Which is a
mighty handicap, because
Fear is an invitation to trouble.
He who constantly fears that some
III or infliction or loss may occur is
meeting trouble more than halfway
going out to meet .it He is laying
down the fence to give trouble an
easy access.
When calamity leaps the low place
you have left in the wall can you call
it an intruder?
Fear is weakness.
Hope is strength. ':
Much depends upon whether you
face the world with the weakness of
fear or the strength of optimism. Be
cause we are learning more and more
the truth of that saying in the old
book:
"As a man thinketh in his heart so
Is he."
If you keep the Sear thought in your
heart it is likely to issue in something
fearsome, whereas if you cherish the
hope thought it is likely to issue in the
strength that overcomes. .
Sickness?
If you go about fearing lest you be
sick you probably will become sick.
Weakness of your mental forces will
open the door to physical ills. Be
cause He who fears is likely to lose his
head, and he who loses his head loses
his health. .
Your family?
If you are forever haunted by the
dread that some infliction may come
upon your loved ones you weaken the
strong arm. that defends them, the
brain that plans for them, the heart
that beats for them.
Your business?
. If you are looking for some detri
ment to your business 'the fear of it
will weaken the powers you are de
pending on to make the business suc
cessful. It is so of everything. ,
There is plenty of trouble in the
world without, your organizing an ex
pedition in your mind to go looking for
it
Look for happiness.

We herewith extend a most hearty invitation to the people of Oregon City and its environs to visit our new store. It is located
in the room formerly occupied by John Adams in the Masonic Temple Building. By way of foreword, we want to impress upon
your mind that while we took tfver the John Adams store room we DID NOT take over any of the Adams stock, opening with
an entirely new stock throughout. We came to Oregon City because we felt that there was an opening in this city for the sort
of store we intend to conduct. We want to make very plain to you that we are going to do our level best to make this store
worthy of your patronage through all legitimate means. We shall at all times endeavor to carry complete assortments in the
various departments. We shall at all times persue a "money-back" policy, meaning that if you are dissatisfied at any time with
anything you buy here, will refund the money instantly. We have decided to conduct this business on a cash basis because
through doing so we can always undersell. All our buying is done in connection with several large Eastern houses, sharing with
them special lots bought under value for Cash from the best wholesalers and manufacturers.
We shall also give the famous S. & H. Green Trading Stamps, each 10c purchase allowing you a stamp. The Premium
Booth will be permanently located in our store. Come then to this new store and become acquainted with its new stock, its
method of doing business and its prices.
To our fellow merchants we extend the hand of good fellowship, feeling that whatever we or they do toward making Ore
gon City a better trading center will redound to the common good. Again we say: Welcome to Bannon's! You're welcome
if you buy and you're just as welcome if you just come to visit. We will be pleased to see you in either event.
