Now comes a lady in a letter to the Oregonlan who Insists the Jul ian near beer party was a real nice affair, being so democratic and ev erything. That's some Idea of the Ideal democracy. Drinking near beer and eating hot dogs that have been pawed over by hands of doubtful cleanliness.

They might give the safe to the new Community Service chest to bold the funds for charity. It seems it's a crime to park a car on State street more than an hour.
