piano House is attracting widespread
attention. Already a large number of
fine new high-grade pianos have been

FREE PRESS
BOOSTED.
The meeting called at the Christian
church last night to consider the better
enforcement ot law developed into a
meeting for boosting the Free Press of
Salem, as 9ie organ f the temperance
people in 'Oregon. A cause that de
pends upon an organ for Buccess might
as well quit.
The prohibition of the liquor traffic in
Oregon is going to succeed eventually
through the people, and it will get and
is getting a splendid support from many
of the papers of the state, reaching
all classes of people, including the Dem
ocrat. Rev. Selleck, of the M. E. church,
Salem, madea good talk. He paid his
respects to the Journal, Salem's whis
key sheet, and made it plain that it ' is
'the business of the ministry to mix in
this business and everything else that
stands for righteousness. Lawlessness
is anarchy, and good citizens every
where should unite against it. A man
is either tor the enforcement of law or
for anarchy. Strange, but some men
are elected not tj enforce the law.

for subscriptions for the Free Press.
H. Bryant and W. P. Elmore headed
it with $50 each and there were others,
a total of about $200. Rev. Stillman.
I of the Congregational church, Salem,
is here making a special canvas for the
1 paper. It is a good one. outspoken,
with a man at its head who is giving
. an aggressive service, and deserves-tbe
. support of people who believe in 'iaw
'enforcement.

BOB JOHNSON A
JACK JOHNSON
Corvallis, Oregon. February 3, 1910.
Bob Johnson, founder of the Corvallis
Times, distinguished himself yesterday '
noon by putting a head on Minshall,
the Philomath Review man. About a
week ago following the Review's losing
the county printing of Benton, Minshall
proceeded to abuse Clerk Moses and his
deputy, Bob Johnson, in a villainous'
manner.
This Minshall, who had formerly been'
a missionary to India, put in an appear
ance at the court house yesterday. Bob
immediately proceeded to abuse him in
a summary manner in his most choice
language and finally told Minshall that
if he hadn't been a law abiding citizen
all his life he would put a head on him, .
to which Minshall said:. "(Veil you'd
better do it" which was no sooner said
than Robert vindicated the high stand
ard of the printer's craft by putting a'
beauutul Head on mm.
Minshall took the noon train for his
U. B. circle at Philomath with eyes in
mourning. Bob received probably as
many as a hundred phone congratula
' ions over the encounter. He simply
licked him before dinner as an appetizer.
t.nd is now in the Jack Johnson class.

Motor Cai Co. of Sacramento, Calif,, a
