take the matter seriously. But the
Plaindealer assures the "F..'ho ' that do

not encourage personalities, and will
not allow them in its columns, if it can
help it. With this explanation, the
article of the '"Kcho" is herewith given :
In the Plaindealer of October lt was
an article entitled "Canyonville Folks
on ttie War Path," which, although too
long to be reprntcd here, has caused
some indignation iu our village. And
justly so too. The communication is
signed "R. K. Porter" which probably
would have been more correctly written
"Reporter." It was an unkind and un
called for thrust at our people and no
itizen who is workiug for the best in
terests of the towu and community,
would be guilty of writing such an arti
cle for nulilic.it ion. Should the offender
