So far it is fine; but some mem bers are asking what will be the result if the group system is fol lowed up. Will the newspaper men feed the brethren on printers' pi and infest them with type lice? Will the automobile men serve rubber steaks stewed in cylinder oil with anti-freeze for a chaser? Will the s< ivice station men think their brethren are IWW's and give them information, wind and water? Will the wood and lumber dealers dish up wooden nutmegs and toothpicks ?

PIERCE According to a letter received this week from Congressman Wal ter M I*ierce, Oregon representa tive of the second district, the Southern Oregon Miner has been placed on the government's ap proved list for newspapers publish ing land notices affecting lands in this vicinity.
