“The Old Reliable,” The Sherman County Observer,
published by D. C. Ireland & Son, at Moro, Oregon, reached
us last Saturday for the first time in several weeks. D. C.
Ireland, its editor, is ‘doubtless one of Oregons oldest, and
bestScnown journalists, having been editor of lhe Oregon
ian in war times, and published papers at Oregon City,-As
toria, McMinnville and The Dallos, finally selecting good
old Sherman county in?1894 for his permanent home, where
with his son C. L. Ireland they have a fine plant, including
steam cylinder and job printing presses,and are publishing
one of the best weekly newspapers in Oregon, adapted to a
city of 5000 inhabitants. We look for The Observer because
it contains all the pews wprth reading, is well edited, and
is not afraid to take the right side of any question and stay
with it, no matter whom it hits.

A few Sundays ago a farmer drove over to the county
attorney’s home and demanded the arrest of a neighbor’s
farm cretf that was “violating the Sabbath.” ’ * The county
attorney was busy pulling weeds in his garden and suggest
ed that |he complainant go before the justice of the peace
in his own township;but was informed that the justice was
out fixing his windmill. He was then advised to phone the
sheriff, and have him attend to the matter, but he was busy
at the stock yards loading cattle. Exasperated, the good
mantresolved to saddle a horse and go for a constable, but
his wife, who was busy canning fruit, informed him that
the boys had driven the horses to the village, where they
were in the link up for a ball game, and that the girls had
gOUti to a picnic. The farmer has been drunk on hard cider
ever since, and stoutly refuses to be sobered.
