•‘D. R. Shambrook, pres, native
Oregonian; H. L- Marsters, sec.
native of Missouri: J. O. Newland,

combination reminds us of famous
spike teams of Oregon pioneer
days, which were oftimes composed
of a horse, an ox and a mule. How
ever, if they pull together they will
get there.

One of the neatest and most ar
tistic special editions of a local
paper to come to our table recently
was the "Home” edition of the
Junction City Times. It consisted
of 1C pages o f well written articles

and the county in general and con
tained 111 nice, plain printed illus
trations of homes, business houses
and industrial scenes about Junction
City. Editor Morehead is to be
congratulated upon this splendid
edition, from which Junction City
and Lane county should derive
much good.

the Bohemia Nugget, two of the
Grove’s progressive newspapers,
formerly owned by F. J. Hard, the

men are wideawake newspaper men,
and will make improvements in both
plants giving to the Grove still
better service. Mr. DuBruille has
had charge of the Leader for some
time and has_ been making an ex
cellent paper of it. Mr. Conner is
a well known journalist, formerly
editor of the Roseburg Plaiudealer

you have consolidated the Leader

making the Leader the desired suc
cess.” — W ynne Hardware Co.
