Residents urged to back home trade over outsiders
An exchange advises farmers to use homemade flour from local mills to build home enterprises and save farmers money. Troy hopes to secure a local enterprise and boost industry. The piece also notes a looming June first deadline for the Lewis and Clark American Pacific Exposition in Portland and warns that many nearby real estate descriptions are invalid. A lost electric line notice is featured, and a police headline critiques a youth badge claim while warning that true crooks avoid badges.
