Erickson of Portand. he who represents the Ratlin interests, but la not the private secretary of Mr Ballin. was a business visitor tn Scio Tuesday, and among the bust- ness men receiving his acknowledg ment was your humble. Imbecile poor editor. We know all the above is correct, but what we published last week was wrong, for Mr Erick son so informed us. We also know why we were wr»0g. for Mr. Erickson told us he had handled more money than we aver saw. consequently we know nothing aieiut the honesty of high finance because an editor never handles a great amount of money. If Mr. Erickson said any.fhmg to 0» ’ C #• vince us of our error and cause us to publicly apologize for the damage done him or Mr. Hallin (if any) we did not hear it.
