The Mount Hood railroad is a very
important enterprise for Portland,
and should be appreciated and en
couraged. It will be of vast benefit
to this city, which should properly
recognize that fact. We believe that
ultimately and in the not far distant
future, lt will cross the Cascade
mountains, and central Oregon, And
become the western end of a trans
continental railroad. If so, any on o
can see of what Immense importance
it will be. It may be the strongest

Harriman grip.
If, as alleged, "large numbers" of
Democrats are registering as Repub
licans, why don't the Republicans
kindly reciprocate, and register as
Democrats? The Republicans are
certainly in a large majority, and
they can thusieasily beat the horri
ble Democrats at their own game.
Let the Republicans who have not
yet registered register as Democrats,
and In the primaries nominate say
Bunko Kelly for senator. This
would fix the Democrats "plenty."

Come out to play,

When the mocking " bird
Sings a lilting tune.
And the air la llker

Than midwinter air.
Ain't your griefa all furled.

A good Old world?
When sorrow cornea.
An' your head droops low.
An' you've come to know
All a chap can know
Of griefs, and your Jiopea
Are In darkneaa hurled,
An' a friend come, ain't lt
A good old world?
It's a good old world,
It's a good old world, Ve!
For the hope and love
An' the tenderness.
That cornea when a chap

In a hopelesa heap;
It'a a good old world!

That laugh and run,
For the cat a-nappln'

For the alngln' bird,
