The Oregon Scout has as large a circu lation as any two papers in this sec tion of the State, combined, and is cor--responding!! valuable as an advertising medium. Thursday, Febr'y. 21, 1SS1). A !M Uri'iirHf litiitiim. A communication from fc'alem to Tiik Scout last Week contained the follow in paragraph: (ilon. O. llolmau. a cheeky fellow of the republican party, after being !et down on for every nthee from Doorkeeper of the House to Chief Clerk ot the same hotly, finally "insinuated" himself onto the Sjcaker. and in order to get rid of him, he was appointed Assistant Heading Clerk of the House of Uepresentativcs. Thinking the writor of the letter would .tend us' nothing hut facts, we paid hut little attention to it and it was published. It seems from the following letter from prominent members of the House that the writer was very much mistaken or wrote what he knew to be false. We hae a right to expeet that correspondents will act fairly with us. and should we lind they have not, we will not shield them in the least. The. letter is as follows, and fully exonerates Mr. llolmau from the imputa tion of the above extract: Sai.km, Feb. 18, ISM". Kiutok Onnc.o.v Scout: The faets are, Mr Holman was clearly thn choice of the House for second assist ant clerk, and Hon-e ltcsolutiiui 'o. 10 ivts adopted will the umlerMaiKlirg that he would be appo'nted to that olllcc, and should do the reading. Mr. llolmau w.i not a candidate for anv of the olllees men tioned above, except the one. to which he was appointed. .1. T. fiiti oc, ( hid Clerk, h. Smith, Sc.il;er, .1. A.

Cornelius, of this imint.v. l ist week opened ti p his silo and it was a sur prise to many to see ho w well the ensilage had been preservul. With the exemption of three r four inches on top, the whole mas was found in a state of perfect preser vation. This completely removes the doubts enterta'iU'd by sonio as to the possi bility f preserving feed by this m thud in ibis excessively nioNt and warm Miniate. Col. Cornelius began tilling this silo about the lirst of last .September and sealed it up about the llrst of October, so that it re mained sealed over three and a half month-). It was tilled with green corn fodder, cut iuto half-inch lengths, and as there was no chance for evaporation, the ensilage still retains all the juice and moisture which the green corn originally contained, making a very rich feed the cattle eating it with great avidity. The aizc of this silo is Hi feet high. About 200 tons of ensilage were put into it. -Hillsboro Independent. Ttio K. ofl. Kntrrt.iiiuticnt. The entertainment and dance given by Lodge No. '28, Knights of l'ythias, of this city, last Tuesday evening, was largely attended, some four or live hundred people being present. The play was well pro duced, eliciting much merriment and rounds of applause from the audience. Each one of the participants acted his part admirably and we would like to mention each one individually, and print in full the address by Mr. O. F. II el I and the original poem by Prof Ilackctt, but limited time siutl space forbids us doing so at this time. After the entertainment the iloor was cleared and dancing was indulged in till a late hour. Eighty-eight tickets were sold, the proceeds of which will materially aid the order in its work. Taken all in all the affair was the most enjoyable we have had for u long time. I.nml Oftlcic Iliillotin.
