The new jianoej post law will become effective January Ist, and the result will be walched with much interest by many whose opinions are very much divided. Some people be-1 Ueve it will revolutionize the business j of the community and will work a hardship on the small dealer to the advantage of the mail order house, while others think it will only be toe means of making business for the live business man and order getter. It Is agreed that it will be a wonderful convenience for the farmer and a real trouble getter for the rural mail carrier who may have to use a truck to deliter the goods. Only the test of actual service will prove all these ’ things. au evangelist named Oliver is conducting a six weeks’ service at Portland. lie seems to have been saying things, for the Portland Sun has the following to say of his remarks in an editorial: "And just to think, with nearly twenty places of religious worship In our midst, Portland people have been going along in the even tenor of their ways believing that in- ’ teliectually we were at least average and that religiously and morally away above the average. Then Dr. Oliver comes to town and be tells us we are a stingy lot of old back numbers, a bunch of hypocrites, backsliders, mot- ( al degenerates and whatnots, headed straight for the bow wows and be It here to "clean us up,” or clean up on us People may or may not be all that they are pictured as being but there Is a whole lot of cities that are not in our class when it comes to good citizenship, either religiously or morally.” STAR SPECIAL. Will H. Standish, a black face singing and dancing comedian, will be on the boards at the Star theater tonight and Wednesday night in a high-class comical stunt, which will please those who attend. There will be three reels of pictures as usual, and the price will be five cents. All should attend.
