It is only a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull together, that will accomplish this end. No few men, however earnest or enterprising, can under the conditions obtaining in this case bring succees. In Oregon it is uot climato or (ertility of soil that is needed, but such enterprises as will put money in circulation, giving the farmer a borne market for much of his produce, and the business man aud mechanic a share iu the prosperity that would surely come to this part o( the country.

Wby he should do so is beyond my comprehen sion. They are not in politics, nor in any other way opposing the Review push. But I suppose that, like many other brutes suffering with a severe at tack of hydrophobia, he is Enapping, snarling and biting at everything in sight or bearing. There should be de cency in journalism as well as any where else aud il the editor ol the Review could see bimtell as others do, he would be more respectful toward those wbo are law abiding, respected citizens, and take no part io any of bis petty little oliticsl Gghts.
