A fragmentary Oregon snippet mix of witticisms and local jests. It mentions Portland murder verdicts, Roseburg prison terms, sinkholes near Hillsboro, and quips about insurance policies, railroads, and social norms. Notable names include John Lilly and Vial.

It continues with a section titled Merely Arrangement and a playful Q&A excerpt, ending with a note on low necked stockings.
