A Kin-' blacksmith work. . of dollars to the citizens of the town. One that has yivea employment to stores of men cither directly or indirect ' !, and will in the future be one of . th . main industries of the tow n. Now hi d we the time or disposition w e could fo back over the history of this company and show bow it has benefitted nearly 'every man in the town- of Rainier. "When Mr. Reed purchased the mill in the dilapidated condition that it was, he immediately set about repairing it and Tiuttin it in ordej. Of course be was new tere, and askci the advice of some of those who should assist him, and after employing them for a time because Mr, Reed did not enter into all the schemes of the knocsers, they immedi ately eet about to injuje his business. So far as the article in last week's Gaz- 'ette is concerned, it can tlo Mr Reed no harm, but it does injure the town. So far as Mr. Wilder, who was the partner of Mr. Reed, is concerned the article does him no good. And it certainly does Judge Irazder an injustice by bruiting about matters through the pub lic print that ehouid have been kept within the secret chambers of the court This was a civil action that interested noone any more than should a family quarrel, but there arc always some peo ple who are sticking their nose into iamily affairs and are never happier - than when thev can stir up a stink among their neighbors. The Gazette owes Mr. Reed and the town of Rainier an apolosy for this untimely and uncall ed for attack upon the Rainier Mill and Lumber Company's business. 31 !.") 5 40! 1C-") 6o ;g 2 2o CO m oo 20 CO r no 8 :o Rl SO 32 00 17 00 41 15 The Quarterly of the Oregon Historic , al Society, for March, has been laid up on our table. Mr. Clarence B. Eagley, an Oregon pioneer of 1852, who lived in Marion county up to about 18(10, but who, for the most of the time since then has been ideneified with the Puget Sound press, gives a history of the "Mercer Immigration" two cargoes of girls to make happy the lives of Puget Sound bachelors in 1805. Mr. Thomas ' iW.Prosch, another pioneer Puget Sound journalist, give? the evolution of Stevens and "Whitman counties, Washington. T. W. Davenport, father of "our Homer," the .cartoonist, gives a chapter on his - "Rcccolections ,as an Indian Agent." jThe stalwart old pioneer of 1844, John Minto, gives a paper of striking interest on the "Antecedents of the Oregon Pio nJer, and the Light These Throw upon Their Motives." The closing pages of the'Quarterly give a portion of the"Rec colectiorts and Opinions of an old Pio- - neer," by Peter H. Burnett, an Oregon pioneer of 1843, and in 1850 the first gov eenpr of California. In subsequent ,. ..numbers of the Quarterly all of Gov. '-. Burnett's "Recollections" of his experi ences in the "Oregon Country" will be published, thus making accessible a most valuable chapter in the early hislo rv.of c;r commonwealth.
