Printer's. Ink," published in New

published in various cities of the United
States says concerning Oregon: ' "In
Oregon four papers get credit for issues
of 1000 copies or more. They are:
Astoria, Morning Astorian, Portland,
Evening Telegram, Portland Morning
Oregonian and Salem, Oregon States
man. The Oregonian is an astonishing
ly good paper. In appearance, general
make-up and enterpiise it compares
favorably with the dailies of fcan Fran
cisco, Denver and even Chicago. Its
circulation, about 24,000, ia without a
doubt not only greater than, -the com
bined circulation of all the other Port-
landdailies, but greater than the com
bined circulation of all the other daily
papers in the whole state. The Even
ing Telegram is bright, readable, pros
perous and entitled, to distinction- It
may safely be credited with an. issue
of about 8,000. The Astorian and States
man are morning daliee, each, printing
an average of perhaps 1,500 copies. ' .
It really seems like cowardice to be
continually attacking the. poor bovin.es

quietly under her own vine and fig tree ;
but this morning a resident of the hill
entered our office with jaded appearance,
such as would indicate sleepless-nights,
and fire in his eye enough to consume
all the beef in the country. Wondering
what letter or word had edged its way
into the paper and offended the usually
genial visitor, we bade him good morn
ing, when he immediately began to tell
of his recent experience with the festive
eow ; how for three nights he had been
compelled to get up in the night, dress
and sally forth in the cold to attack a
cow, which was making herself numer
ous around the premises. He was swear
ing vengeance, and we didn't blame
him. Nor can you who own the animals;
so you'd better "take your cows and go."
Papers and Souvenirs from Manila.
Through the kindness of Mrs. Arm
strong we have been permitted to peruse
"Freedom," an American paper pub'
lished at Manila.' ' Its contents was ex
tremely interesting, and contained many
articles by the volunteers. Beside' the
papers sent her by her eons, was a novel
new vear s card,- upon which was
pictured a water buffalo hauling a num
ber of small natives ; across tie corner of
the card were the words "A Happy New
Year. ' A souvenir song book,' which has
recently been issued, is filled with origi
nal eongs and poems by members of the
various regiments Of the Eighth Army
Corps. The following song was written
by Howell, of the Second Oregon, and is
sung to the air of "Nellie Grey" : .
We are volunteers for freedom,
We've remembered well the Maine,
We came west o'er the rolling of tbe sea;
We have heard the battle's thunder
And we've seen the fall of Spain '-, .
Nov we long for onr home-land of the free.
Chorus Oh, Oregon oui home
8weet Oregon so fair
For thy beauty we will e'er remember thee
We'll recross the rolling billowB
To our Oregon so dear . - , - : '
And our loved ones in that home-land of the free.
We have seen onr flag unfurl! Dg
From the shore to distant shore
We have seen our glorious colors borne afar. -We
have seen the famous Dewey - ..
And his proud ship Baltimore
And his squadron that fought the Spanish war.
Now we're waiting only waiting ,
For the order to return' .
To our homes In that great land beyond the sea
For the flame of lovefor Oregon '
Shall e'er be seen to beam,
