No person was ever known to live to anygreat age without making mistakes, and to expect a newspaper to be issued every few days, week in and week out for years without er rors creeping in, is to expect the impossible, v Sometimes these errors are ludicrous and furnish much amusement, but oftener they get the editor into hot wa ter and hurt the feelings of some one whom there was not the slightest desire to injure or be little. . These mistakes are easily explained and are taken as. a matter of course in the busy life of a printing office, but to the uninitiated they sometimes take on a very serious aspect and the whole affair is condemned with out a hearing. A little charity and a careful investigation are a certain panacea for all such mistakes made. tery. Mr. Gray was an old and respected pioneer, having come to Oaegon in 1861.
