$1.75 the Year
Back On The Job
It is with pleasure that we an
nounce the undersigned are again oo
the job at the The Tribune office,
and wish their many patrona the
most prosperous year in their Me*
tory. The past year has been one
of many vicissitudes and trials for
ail of us. and as we dig into the fu
ture days of 1924 may we all meet
with greater prosperity and health
than 1923 gave us.
We traveled over a considerable
of Unde Sam's domain during the
three months we were away: saw
many cities and communities; travel
ed over sandhills and mountains;
viewed large and small valleys;
drank water of various kinds; met
many people of all walks in life;
but we want to say that the best
part of all we saw lies in the Will
amette Valley. In Western Oregon

It is persistent advertising that
has brought to California her great
influx of people and thia advertising
has sold the people in more ways
than a home. We have here all and
more than California can ever hope
to have, and it is f >r the people of
Oregon to let the world know what
is here and we will have a popula
tion far exceeding the fondest hopes
of California.
