Besides working the U. S. land office
into a muddle, Harbison has worked
nearly every one in The Dalles into a
fever of bitter hatred of' himself. He

another; bought a flag, and asked the
public to pay for it ; raiseda pole for it on
credit ; and hits generally put on more dog
than a Washington city "lunch fiend" at
a Chesapeake watering place. It is
time for him to get out, before somebody
aggravates the muddle by taking the
value of an unpaid bill out of his snob
bish hide.

his prospects for the place by suggesting
the thought, but may be permitted to
state that his appointment would give
perfect satisfaction to all parties where
he is best known, and we are pleased to
