With the approach of spring it Incomes a matter fur thought as to liow to protect the banks of the Ouhoco from the current that flows past here. Last spring a great tleal of labor was wasted from the reason that it was not properly applied, and wasted labor means wasted money and that J is some thing that interests every taxpayer in the city. The present structure that spans the creek should be changed into a one span bridge so as to remove the obstruction caused by the piling under the center as it now stands. This would give the current an unobstructed passage and would relieve the pJessure on the abutments at either end. "An ounce of prevention is equal to a pound of cure." After all there is small pay at tached to heroism. Rear Admiral richley sunk the Spanish fleet off Santiago for which he receives the munificeht sum of 1246 prize mon ey and trial before a court of in quiry and cinched on eleven counts because he didn't sink the fleet according to direction'. Ad miral Sampson, who was not in the fight, gets $25,000 prize money and the credit for trying to destroy Schley's military reputation. Why didn't the court of inquiry add the 12th count, namely that the eleven warranted Schley being court mar tialed and shot at sunrise. Eu gene Register. The President has fired Maclay bodily from his position in the na vy yard and now he should fire fotmpson and a lot of his ilk from their salaried positions and ghe them to those who have earned them by right of hurd labor in the Interests -of the Nation. If the President is unable to do this then it devolves on Congress to see that It is done and done quickly. The more the matter is canvassed the more does it become evident that the county High school prop osition is a move in the right direc tion. Lot us all put our shoulders to the wheel and push the matter along and then Crook county can fctand before the rest of the state and say that she has as good school facilities as any of her sister counties. In ThU a Part? Some three years ago during the smallpox scare, the honorable coun cil of Prineville passed an ordi nance making it a misdemeanor', and imposing a heavy fine, and in default of payment of the same, imprisonment in tho city jail, for any citizen of Wheeler county to enter the sacred precincts of Prine ville. The ordinance stands today with as much life and in as full ef fect as the day the city dads passed it. We do not suppose they would arrest a man because he came from Wheeler county, and birauso they have such an ordinance, but tho officers of that city could do it and if they intend living up to their laws, it is their duty to do so. Prinevile had better repoal that ordinance at once, as it looks bad to strangers. Shaniko Leader. Numerous plans have been draft ed and are being sent broadcast through the land to the end that the press and people will try to in fluence their members of Congress to favor less stringent tariff laws for Cuba. While it muv be for the best to have practically free trade between the two countries we will leave the matter, for tin present at least, with those who are more familiar with tho con ditions existing in that province. It. is not our policy to favor tariff tinkering in any sense so long as the country is in a prosperous con dition, for we have found by sad experience that the more tinkering the less prosperity. If there is to be any changes in the laws as they now stand let it be in the matter of a reduction of the war tax. When the prope.r time comes for a reduction of the duties on Cuban imports we fully believe that our Congress will be wise enough to see to it without any suggestion from us. On December 26 passed away Gov. J. R. Rogers, of Washington. The Governor was a man of more than average ability and states manship and was twice honored by the highest gift in the power of th people of his state. Lieuten ant Gov. McBride was sworn in on the 28 and assumed the duties of the office at once. W. H. Parker, formerly foreman on the Albany Herald, has pur chased a one-half interest in the Crook County Jouhnal. From present judications the Journal, under the control of Messrs. Fogle & Parker, will be one of the best btoal papers in the interior. Can yon City Laglc.

Extension of tbe CorvalHs & Kantoi n I There are rumors of anither r.iil road aiming for the business of the interior region of Oregon east of the Cascade range, says the Orego- man. This is a revival of the story that the Corvallis & Eastern is making preparations for ex tending its line across the moun tains. It now halts at Detroit, near the crest of the range, but the grade is finished for a considerable distance beyond, and the right of way secured still farther. The ac tivity of the Ncvada-Caliiornia-Oregon people in building north ward into Oregon, and the prospect that the Columbia Southern will reach into the Upper Deschutes basin is said to have moved the powers that control the destinies of the Corvallis & Eastern to an ap preeiation of the fact that it is now or never with them; that to leave the line wavering in the air at the top of tlie mountain is short-sighted, and the time to go forward is before other roads have occupied the field, More than three years ago a mortgage wag filed in Linn county, securing money for extending the Corvallig & Eastern into Eastern Oregon. It was said that a market had been found for the bonds and IF SHE IS PLEASED With your new fall suit, then you have good reason to be satisfied. Few men are brave enough to claim that they do not think of HER whon it comes to selecting a suit or overcoat. We feel safe in saying if 6ur heavy weight suits and overcoats do not please the most fastidious Wife or "liest Girl," nothing will. We know a thing or two about the ladies, and we freely admit that we are thinking about them when we buy our stock. Those K. N. &. F. garments are far superior to other makes, in stylish appearance, durability and every essential of fine clothing. The man who wears one of these garments can feel himself tasteful ly and comfortably dressed. Suits from $8 up.

But mon ey is even easier now than it was then, much work has been done toward openjng the natural wealth of the region to be penetrated by the proposed extension and it is found to be worthy of financial confidence,' and long-headed rail road men say the time is ripe for the Corvallis & Eastern to push on' in order to protect its own interests.
