entitle the new comer to take a

An editorial brother in Wiscon
sin, after many years of experience
has arrived at this sage conclu
sion:" "The longer we run a news
paper and write about people and
events the- more we realize how
utterly impossible it is to scratch
every man on the spot where he
itches the most,'' and according
to the Heppner Gazette, "once in
a while it's a good idea to give him
a twist where he dont itch, which
uually causes due appreciation of
small decent lavors.'

OUR OUTLOOK.
Lebanon never had a better out
look than she has now. This
week the Electric Light & Water
Co., put a large force of men at
work digging ditches to lay their
water pipe. The men that have
the contract to put up the water
tower have already commenced
work, and Messrs. O'Neil and
MyerB have a force of men at work
on their Excelsior factory. Be
sides this, there are several other
buildings well under headway in
our city. Considering the dull
times Lebanon is doing exceeding
ly well, and the Expuesb predicts
a brighter future for Lebanon this
summer than any preceeding year.
