P. C. HUNTER, Apt,
Keep at it; the weeds do.
Large farms, small towns.
A rusty hoe moans lively
weeds.
The grangers have gr.tten next
Ui the new constitution scheme.
More roads and better roads
will be the making of Kcho.
The man with a shovel, a small
tract and a stream of water is a
king.
There is enough rich soil and
flowing water in Umatilla county
to support the entire population
of Oregon. Kcho is right vhere
the two join.
The grange is up and coining
after that tricky little schc.-.e!
to hold a constitutional voi. voli
tion in Oregon. Costly, useless
Uiing at In'st, and full of danger
and with several niggers con
cealed in it in all probability.
There is nothing to prevent
the people of Oregon building all
the roads they want. They
have lhe power to build wagon
roads, ami they have the xwer
to luy ties and tracks on them,'
141. As to the advisability of
doing so, that is a horse of. an
other color. In this connection
we would rise to remark th:t
Fm Iio has as tine a road as theiv
is in Oregon running eight trains
a day through it.
Some people want the value
of their property insured and
guaranteed under a double Uuid '
to increase in value twenty five'
timos every six mouths. If the
seller cannot give some such
iron clail contract they pass on;
and it is just as well they should.
In purchasing a home or a farm
Uip purchaser must use his own, K. Smith, transacting business under
judgment. He may bo lucky or i'be nnn natneof Sunderman& Smith,
he may be wise, and if so hi !
property will increase as the in
dustry and enterprise pf an in
treating population increases its
value by th.'ir labors.
