A late 19th century column urges young couples to build homes through mutual sacrifice and shared work. It laments indolence and praises health and industry as foundations for domestic stability. The writer argues every man should provide a home before marriage and celebrates couples who cooperate to sustain a lasting, loving home.
An opaque passage imagines fleeting beings and enduring hunger as figures drift through dreamlike imagery. The text juxtaposes mortality and eternity with abstract names and archaic phrasing, creating a fragmentary meditation rather than a clear narrative.
The text argues that in the West riches come from hard work and character, not pedigrees or wealth. It emphasizes the Western spirit where men are judged by conduct, effort, and heart, and where fortunes grow from perseverance rather than lineage.
The piece argues Pendleton firms should win city contracts like the road roller purchase, urging spending locally to strengthen home institutions, keep profits in Bend and invest in local stocks and banks, and oppose buying from outside suppliers. It champions patronizing local bars and shops to support home economy.
The Gazette comments on aiding the poor woman who seeks a home in marriage, noting the phrase about a man without resources and the irony of giving shelter. The column reflects social attitudes and public discourse of the era.
The piece jokes that loafing has become a science in the United States as bank examiners, insurance officials, and public officers engage in it. It cites alleged losses from "scientific loafing" in New York and Lilinote and mocks Oregon politics, especially Governor candidate E Chamberlain.
The Argonaut recounts a string of urban humor and oddities including a San Angeles council ban on chorus girls, a Chitako show interview, and playful quips about Adamson and Adam Smith. The items showcase local wit, political theater, and classic mishearings from a period newspaper page.
A fragmented item blends a classical plea for sleep with a report from Chicago. The enamel fusion factory of C. M. Schonk in Chicago burned, with an estimated loss of £250,090 and the deaths of one fireman and several employees.
Nearly two dozen piano brands including Chickering Weber Kimball Hobart M Cable Decker and Krellmann appear at Ellertine's Plane House event. Buyers may pay 10 or 20 down and 6 8 or 10 per month with home delivery and a twofold guarantee including maker and shop guarantees. The sale pledges a money back if not as represented Christmas delight for every household.
