WILL WIN THE BOOBY.
Iulitor Register: l he l'ortiand ball team, as
usual, is hot-footing it, with customary energy, for
the booby prize. We are served up with the same old
wail of "hard luck," "wait until we get started,"
"the umpire is to blame," and "after a team has lost
for two or three years it takes time to pick up," this
and other twaddle we are supposed to gulp down and
accept as orthodox.
The trouble, and all the trouble is, that Portland
has no ball team, neither has it a manager. With the
single exception of Van Buren it hasn' t a base runner
they run bases like a flock of hearses drawn by
spavined males. -The Portland giants, so-called, are
an aggregation of lummoxes, too awkward to get out
of their own way and with, little practical knowledge
of the game.
The management traded the only player they had
iu 1894 (Beck) for a brush leaguer whose tout en
scmble is a glaring advertisement for limberger ehcese
If McCredie proposes to keep this bunch, he better try
and break' into the Valley League, where he has a
possible chance to make good.

It U with pardonable pride that the Register ! t0O
wishes to remind its readers that with last wetk's g ff1 . TTV F-nlfT
issue it has crown to Income one year old ar.d thitx I IV Ik itiiv
with this number it passes ti e first mile ttone. The
editor w mindful of the fact that without your assist
ance and good-will his effort would have been in vain,
therefore it is but just and natural that we return
thanks to each and all for the loyal support given cs
the past year aud liespeak for a continuance of the
same treatment and consideration at your hands. It
was no child's work to launch a fourth paper in a
county of the population Cofunibia has, but the editor
kuew the metal his patroas were made of and he knew
that if he hewed to the line, let the chips fall where
they may, "the jitojile were with him. And in this
judgment he has been sustained. The Register today
is the leading paper in the county. Its influence for
good is felt from one end to the other, and is sought
for. Its news columns contain the gist of the most
important happenings from all sections of the county.
It is a family newspaper in the broadest sense of the
word and for this reason enters so many Columbia
county homes. Its future is assured and its useful
ness enlarged upon when we consider the increased
facilities that have been added to in the way of equip
ments to our plant. This has all been accomplished
and made possible from the support and encourage-!
merit given us by a generous public. So may we not
look for a continuance at your hands, seeing our
ability to serve you is so much better now than in the
past? The Register is up-to-date and in its office are
the fastest and largest presses type that enables us
to print anything from a calling card to a full-sheet
poster, enabling us to compete with Portland prices
and in a first-lass workmanlike manner. So let us
figure on your office printing call us up by phone or
let us bid on your work. A trial order is solicited.
The time has expired on all those names which were
paid for but one year. We hope you will all renew
and send us in your I at once, as e cannot afford to
publish so good a paper on a credit system. When you
are sending in your renewal, try and send in a new
subscription. The Register is your paper help to
roll it along.
Mr. F'.ui;,Jiu last week's Ali-had one-fourth of
a column about "Mr. Mitchell after more pie," in
which he stated that Mitchell had a complete monopo-
y of the clerk's and school superintendent's office,
which is not true. But one thing Flagg fai'ed to
state. Mitchell never did a job of work for the county
that the price was not equal to or lower than Portland
prices and much lower than the prices of Flagg for
the same class of work furnished the Republican
officials. And, say, Mitchell does, not draw a pension
of $33 per month from the county as Plagg has done
and is now doing. In last week's financial exhibit is
an item of $150 to E. H. Flagg as president of Lewis
and Clark dubs. There is no law for the allowance
of this amount, hence it is a pure steal. Not even
worthy of the name "graft." In no case has the coun
ty clerk or school superintendent taken upon them
selves the prerogative of giving notices to the papers
where the law gives that privilege to the attorneys,
For verification of this statement, look over the files of
the Mist and see how many citations are signed by
Clerk Henderson. One other thing: The assessor's
notices and special road tax notices should, according
to law, be published in the. paper nearest the lands
affected.
MR. MITCHELL, THE "SOCIALIST."
Ve8poko of the man who issued a counterfeit Register
last week aa a tramp About two months ago he came to our
ollice and applied for work, and asked the foreman for 2o
cents to get a meal. Comes pretty near tram p. Register.
Mr. Murpliv denies havinst asked for any money, and
even if he had done so, he is very fur from being a tramp. On
the contrary, he is an industrious, sober, working printer.
No man who is willing to work lor ins money deserves the
epithet of "tramp." and Mr. Mitchell's socialist friends
should give him a few lessons on this subject. Itisworthv
ofremurk, however, that Mr Murphy cot neither the work
nor the money; Mr Mitchell a sympathy for the poor seems to
be only mouth-deep it never gets to his pocket-book.
A man may be a tramp, and still be a gentleman.
Perhaps we were a tittle hasty in calling Mr. Murphy
a "tramp printer." But what we said then was not
intended as a reflection on his character. We hope he
he ss a gentleman and scholar as .well as a printer of
wide experience and extensive travel. It is not the de
sire to injure, but the right to protect the name "Reg
ister" that caused us to speak as we did. Had . Mr.
Murphy selected any other name for his paper there
would have been no words between us.
The Oregon Mist comes to the elefense of Sheriff
White and says: , '
"Mr. Martin White, sheriff of Columbia cennty, frankly
atatea that he has "no use for the lloulton paper." There
are lots of people in Columbia county who have faith in
Martin's judgment."
- The verdict of the people at the next June elec
tion may make a difference of opinion. Mr. White
was elected to serve the people, npt the Republican
party. 'He took out of the hands of the attorney the
right to select the paper and usurped the right as conv
pletely as could the Czar of Russia. i .
