WILL BE A
WHOPPER,
Says Booster Geo. A. Waggoner.
Editor Democrat:
Some one has sent me a clipping from
your paper which says a booster en
velope from Lebanon puts that city on
the east side of the river.
Kn-losed is a modern booster en -
velope that you may see that this
generation ot business men are not re
sponsible for the error you mention.
That old envelope was a poser in many
ways but it has served out its useful
ness and its errors should be forgotten
witn its passing.
"Nil murtius, nisi bonum," should be
our motto.
After all it djn't matter much which
side of the river our city is on. There
ia good land on both sides and the new
through line of railroad is building a
bridge just at our door. Lebanon is
going to be a whopper in the near
future and will probably occupy both
"'lores of the Santiam for several miles
f its length.
Enclosed is a pamhlet that you may
..now where to find strawberries when
(he warm days come.
