An editorial warns that impure meat may cause as many deaths as impure milk and urges shoppers to buy only from trusted sellers. It touts BITGOOD & COLE'S new market on North Jersey Street as a source of clean meat, while noting other local notices about farm sales, a typhoid death of Marvin Johns, and a vacancy sign for a nunnery stock sale in Portland, Oregon.

Citizens debated local governance, fire protection, and street improvements, recalling Albina and earlier secession efforts. The piece also mocks a nonsubscriber and ends with a humorous wish for a wholesale fly killer.
