An Elegant Summer Book.
“ Restful Recreation Resorts,” the
1905 Summer Book issued by the pas­
senger department of the Oregon Rail­
road & Navigation Company, contains
forty-eight pages and cover. The book
is printed on heavy white paper, fifty-
eight cuts being used to illustrate the
trips up and down the Columbia River,
to the mountains, beaches, inland re­
sorts and fountains of healing. The
cover is done in three colors, adding
materially to the beauty and effective­
ness of the publication, which may be

A short time ago some men down
in Washington county were engaged
in putting up rural telephone poles on
some land belonging to an old fanner
who disliked seeing his wheat trampled
down. The men produced a paper by
which they said they had teave to put
the poles where they pleased. The
old farmer went back and turned a
large bull in the field. The savage
beast made after the men, and the old
farmer, seeing them running from the
field shouted at the top of his voice:
"Show him the paper! Show him the
paper!” — McMinnville Reporter.
