the crosswalks on Willamette street swept
every day, bnt it is almost impossible to keep
them passable, 'lhe city authorities cer
tainly do not propose to let the main busi

pr.-sent filthy condition all winter. Some
thing should be done, and we hope they will
make move. Tho present condition of Wi.

Tho open sessiou of the Lsurean Society
last Saturday was one of the bust ever given
by them. At first the prospects for a good
ludience were doubtful, but when the Piesi

doubts wore dispelled and tho hall was filled
Willi an attentive audience. Alter the usual
amount of .business, the listeners were
favored wilh an interesting, and instructive
essay from Mr. led Dunn, which was fol

In last week's issuo of the Guard we no
ticed an article written by Mr. E. E. Orton,
requesting tho editor of the Eutaxiancoliimu
to publicly state that the item concerning
him published in her column two woeks
ago, was only ajukt. It seems to us as if
the item referred to was, even to a stranger,
tlf tddrntly a joke, yet if Mr. Ortou thinks
it necessary tor me to writo the word,
"joke" shove it, I most cheerfully and glad
ly take this opportunity of so amending it,
Did not Mr. Orion's reputation bespeak for
him an honoruble character, we might add
our testimony ss to his integrity yet we
deem this unnecessary, The idea of our
friend stealing chiokeus is. so inconsistent
with his general character, thut, to those who
know him, it is laughable and the public
can by only asking find hosts' who will testi
fy to bis high standing. We have no desire
in anv wav to in i urn Mr. Orton'a tirpiumt nt
future ambitions, if it were possible for that
item to affect his victory over the "stern re
alities of life," no retribution ou our part
would be too great. We wish then to here
correct any erroneous impressions which
may have been made npon tho mind of the
public by our thoughtlessness, aud sincerely
nope thut the feari entertained by Mr. Orton
of his reputation Wing blighted forever
may prove to be but Vaiu ones.

true that now and then somebody mukes a

how small the chances of a ticket-holder is.
The lottery is conducted honestly because
with such grrat odds in its favor It call be

robbery, all the states except Louisana have
passed special sets prohibiting lotteries.
