THE SCIO TRIBUNE
$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
Our people, especially th<*se who
have not had the privilege of seeing
other parts of the United Slates,
do not know what they have her in
this, the most wonderful and pro­
ductive of all communities.
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.
We left Kansas City for the coast
on Ih-cemlwr llth, after a most de­
lightful visit of seven weeks with

law, and a sister who came over

We made a short trip to Holly­

We came from Los Angeles to

miles were just at the edge of the

of the navy boats which went

A Typographical Error
In last week's Tribune a typo

Mill & Elevator Co. ad that caused
the management considerable ex­
planation and hardly believable by
the patron, iM-cause the Tribune
reader» have become accustomed to
believing what they see in the Tri­
bune. The error was in pricing the
