grumbling at the umpire's decis

matched, and the two scores of the
Lebanon boys were of a .cratch or

Robert Uaisneu, an -

Our reporter brings us the
formidable news that the seren
ity of our model community
has been disturbed by a "wool
pulling;." We had congratulate
! ed ourselves on our conformity
to ull great and honorable
things; we had encouraged noble
and generous ideas of the purity
of our social atmosphere, and
we had hoped that no taint of
opprobrium should contaminate
or defile the peerlessness of our
commonwealth and it comes
HJce a thunderbolt from a clear
sky. A "wool pulling!" Not a
nierei breath of scandal that
may have been fanned by each
passing breeze until it assumes
the form of a monstrous flame,
nor vet a hand to combat
in which some honor may have
tallen to the victor, and perhaps
assuaged our bitter grief, but a
"wool pulling"' in its longest
and broadest sense. A wool
pulling, and at Mr. Fuqua's too!
And this is how it happened.
Mrs. Fuqua wanted a new bed,
and as there were present" a
merry crowd of young people it
was proposed that they should
help prepare the wool, so many
light fingers made quick work
and the wool pulling proved
after all a very pleasant affair.
Last Thursday Frank Brown, a
well known Airlie citizen, met with
an appalling accident. While
working in the field his horse
frightened, and as we understand
it, threw him from the mower seat.
He was kicked in the back of the
head and his skull fractured. He
was brought to town on the eve
ning motor, and thence taken to
Salem to the hospital. The last
we heard he was improving, though
his injuries were most severe.
WHAT HE IS DOING.
Iteply to a Questlou Many Times
Propounded.
We have been asked many times
the manner in which Mr. McKin-
ney. the immigration agent for the
Harriman lines, does hi advertis
ing. It is done by pamphlets, cir
cular letters, lectures, solicitors, etc.
The newspaper advertising is also
carried on extensively. W'e were
shown a North Dakota paper re
cently and we take .this clipping
from it:
250,000 Free Homes in Oregon.
Oregon has 35,000,000 acres of
government lands and 400,000
acres of school lands.
Where wheat and other cereal
crops were never known to fail.
Where horses, cattle and sheeD
grow for nothing and board them
selves. ' ' '
No , blizzards, tornadoes and
thunder storms and a most perfect
climate. , ' ' 1
Homes for milliehs in Oregon.
; Despite the fact that the move
ment of homeseekers or prospective
settlers to the Pacific Northwest in
1902 was the most ' phenominal
within its history and during the
year there was more public land
entered and disposed of in Oregon
than any State west of the Rocky
Mountains, there yet remained at
the close of the fiscal year, June
30th, 31,873,671 acree unappropri
ated government land, also some
very choice improyed deeded lands
which can be purchased at from $6
to $35 an acre making homes for
millions in the most congenial cli
mate on this continent. Where
wheat and other cereal crops were
never known to fail, where horses,
sheep and cattle fatten on the range
the year around, no blizzards' tor-'
nadoea or thunder storms.
They then conclude with advertising
matter relative lo cost of tickets, etc.
Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Potter pass
ed through town on Wednesday,
when they were joined : by Miss
Neuta. while on their way to New
port, where Mr. Potter and daugh
ter will spend the summer. Mr.
Potter- will only remain at the
coast some two weeks.
