OREGON, JULY U, 1819 Towns and cities along the State highway are making provisions for camping grounds for automobile tour ists, and Athena should provide a camping place here. There is no bet tor advertisement for a town than a suitable camping site for these tour ists, where they can have the conven ience of shade and water.

A couple of barrels as recep tacles for papers and refuse would in sure keeping the camping space clean, for automobile tourists as a rule live up to the standard code of cleanliness.

The Winnipeg upiising was so plainly an attempt tu wrest control of the city from the lawful authorities that the original cuuse buB almost been forgotten.
