It is really exceedingly surprising
to an Oregoninn to see how wolully
Ignorant is the average Easterner, of

Hid their worse than humbug

great empire that divides these two
great humbugs.
On the train from California on
Monday morning were two average
lv intelligent gentlemen, natives of
Indiana, who were traveling, slght--ecinir.
They had been to California
ami were returning over tho North
ern Paoille railroad. "Yos," they

such a place as Portland, and it re

are frequent.
A circular recently issued from
California by a "state olllcial" sets
forth the advantages of that state
in glowing colons, and then sets
forth a number of excursion trips
that might be taken from San Fran
cisco. One was to "Mr. Shasta, and
'ueti'KN,' leaving the Central Pa
cific at etc., etc.;" ono was to
Southern California, one to the
Sandwich Islands, one to Alaska,
and last to "PortTownsond, Seattle,
Tacoma, and Vancouver in Wash

iiut nowhere within its covers does
the word Oregon appear. That
shows how beautifully we tiro being
Ignored. Let tho board of Trade
think of thee things to-night.
