BOHEMIA NUGGET. C. J. HOWARD EDITOR. Hulinrrhitlnn price, Wl.50, In ndvnnrc. AiUortUliiR ntn nmdn known upon nppllnitluu. Friday, Jan 201899. to Tin: run. Lie. We have just dropped down among you in n quiet sort of way, but we wish to assure you that, if a fair opportunity is given us, and we have no reason to think that it will not be given us, we have come to stay. For a number of years our eye has been cast this way with the view of some day conducting a newspaper here, and now we are realizing our dream of many months. We do not come to you with a view of turning the world upside down by way of great literary pro ductions, and long winded edi torials. We have taken up bur abode among you with the view cf making a decent living, and, with economic management, hope to gather together a few of the world's goods that we may be comfortably fed and sheltered in the rainy season of life. Our politics are, have been, and, always will be, republican and this paper shall attempt to be useful to its party at such times as its ser vices are needed. However, we are firm in the belief that every man even newspaper men have a perfect .right to their political preferences, and we-detest personal views. . We do not believe that because we have a hat full of Long Primer type and a Washington hand press that we are a little god, and that it is our mission in the newspaper field to advise and tell our law makers and administration how to Hurra for Hurra. Let's get in and work. Governor Gcer, the top-'o, the mornin' .to ye. It's one town now by the eonseii of all the people, and the compli ments of the Oregon legislature. For thcbcncfit of all strangers, and neighboring towns we wish to state that this is Cottage Grove. Some one has said that nature never makes a mistake. If so, how about the natural born fool with his unloaded gun. Ok Announceme n Governor Geer has started out on the right lead, and in the lan guage of the footballist, he will score a touch down every once-in-a while. He also plays good in terference. Play ball Governor, play ball.

The Bohemia Nugget is in re run this government. If don't know more than we they about governmental affairs they ought to, and they are supposed to, and we are perfectly willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. They draw the pay, and so let them go, if they want our advice we want the pay. However we think things are going about right at present. It. shall be our aim to get out a trood local paper, devoted to the growing interests of this city and vicinity; and from our way of think ing, if we do that we will fill the bill satisfactory to the majority of our people We earnestly solicit the support of every republican who is desirous that a republican paper shall live here; the support of every citizen who is anxious that a wide-awake local paper shall be published here; of every business man desirous of assisting a paper, that will furnish good reading matter to subscribers who are likewise good patrons of business houses and readers ofad- vertisements. Remember that a paper cannot live on wind and promises. The business man tells us that it takes money to buy gpods; it also takes money to buy paper, and it takes patronage to make a newspaper a successful one and one calculated to wield influence. To. those who have so kindly offered us advice and given their friendly support we extend our thanks. We should bc6pleased at any and all times to receiye calls from one and all. We shall endeavor to treat you right, and shall appre ciate any interest you take in us.

Stnit, Colliiiie Urovr, tl -rr l The 1899 annual number of the Oregonian has made its appearance. It is not necessary that the country editor should eulogize this mag nificent number of one of the greatest if not the greatest paper published west of the Rocky moun tains. Few of us can find words with which to express our praise regarding it. However it is an assured fact that it is the pride of every Uretjon newspaper man s heart. It shows that the printing business lives and flourishes out West; that Oregon is a great state; that. Portland is a business center of the Pacific coast worthy of much consideration; that the Oregonian is a great paper. Attorney Geo. Kinsey of Eu gene, who stood trial hist week l2 fore the U.

However it was just by a scratch, and the legal gentleman will tlo well to keep out of such mixtures in the future. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
