The above is Webster’s defini
tion of the word “Dago.” The
word was used recently in T he
E agle and the little paragraph
caused a letter of protest from a
writer whose name we cannot
pronounce. The word “Dago” is
often used in the U. S. in refer-
ing to an Italian, same as an
Italian would call a Japanese a
”Jap.”

But when one reads the attacks
slung at Baker in the sarcastic
lines written by C. C. Chanman,
in the “Oregon Voter,” it is
enough to convert most any one.
Chapman could run “Pd. Adv.”
at the top of these frequent para
graphs and the public would call
it good publicity for Bake .
Since the establishment of T he
V ernonica E agle in this, the
best little city in Oregon, some
marvelous changes for the better
have taken place. Vernonia is a
big asset to the state. Her timber
resources means millions of 'lol
lars to the state’s wealth. Her
mills and camps, with hundreds
of men employed, make the city
and community on*e of the state’s
best industrial centers. These
facts, with many more we could
mention, move- us to suggest
that the Portland Ad Club make
us a visit.
