The Portland Journal of January 23 reprinted the greater portion ol Cephas Nelson's article on "Good Roads," published In lust week's Obsebver, and made the following editorial comment: "There is scarcely . any need in Oregon greater than more good roads. This Polk county farmer has stated their benefit correctly, in part. They would also increase the value of every acre of land In the communi ties which they traversed. They would be a means of better education, better temper, better health, longer and happier.lives, for man and beast. "The law authorizes a special county tax for road building or improving. Counties like Polk, that are out of debt, could in no other way make so good an investment as to tax them selves for good roads. If a few farm ers in every precinct felt as this one does, and would join together for this purpose, they would make good roads an issue in their county campaigns. Just as well-paved streets in a good sized, growing town pay, so, in an even greater degree, do good roads throughout the country pay the farmers well, ultimately many times their cost; and they are a great benefit to the towns, too, whose people should be no less eager for good roads than those in the country;" Senator Loughary having been lined up with the losing side in the organization of the Senate, got little recognition in the way of committee positions. He was given the chair manship of the committee on horti culture and placed on the game, in dustries, and public roads committees. Dr. McCallon, in the House, fared better, being made chairman of the banking committee and a member of the committees on medicine and pharmacy and capitol building and grounds. Representative Jones leads the Polk county delegation in the number of Important committee posi tions received. He is chairman of the committee on printing, has second place on railways and fourth place on assessment and taxation. The members of the Oregon Legis lature were faithful to their trust when they elected Jonathan Bourne und Frederick W. Mulkey to the United States Senate. The direct pri mary law has been observed, both In letter and in spirit, and now, that it has been given a fair trial , it remains for the people to decide whether they are satisfied with its workings or whether they desire to return to the old-time convention plan of nomi nating their public officers. Already an effort is being made in the Legis lature to repeal or set aside this law, but In making this effort the members are tampering with fire. The people created the direct primary law, and the peoplo will insist upon the right or saying whether it shall remain on the statute books. The question is not for the Legislature to decide. The movement for an annual poultry show in Polk county is a good one, and it is hoped that there will be a large attendance of chicken fanciers at the meeting to be held in Dallas on February 2, at which time steps will be taken to organizo a county association. The Willamette University basket ball team played two games this week and made a score of 23 in each. Will it bo "23" for them when they meet the swift team from Dallas College? Lodge Notice.

Thompson, the veteran Presbyterian minister, died at the homeofhi8 daughter, Mrs. William Fortmiller, in Albany, Wednesday morning, after a brief illness of pneumonia. The news of his death was a sad surprise to the people of Polk county, by whom ho was held in the highest esteem. Dr. Thompson was 73 years old, having been born October 7, 1834, In Middlebury, Vermont. He was educated in New England and in the Normal school at Albany, New York. He was married December 30, 1857, to Miss Ella Armstrong, and of the union eight children were born, fiveof whom are now living. They are Mrs. William Fortmiller, Albany, Or.; George Thompson, Boston, Mass. ; Mrs. Elmer Samuels, Raymond, Wash. ; Mrs. Chester Roake, Chico, Cal. ; and Anson W. Thompson, Los Angeles, Cal. Throughout his long life, Dr. Thompson was prominently identified with educational and ministerial work. For nearly 20 years he was head instructor in mathematics and astronomy in the University of Minne sota, and for a number of terms was elected to the school superintend eucy of Hennepin county, Minnesota. In 1881 he moved with his family to Casselton, N. D., where he occu pied the pulpit of the Presbyterian church until 1884, when he came west to Salem, Oregon, to assume the pastorate of the Presbyterian church there. After a few years residence in Salem, he moved with his family to Albany and assumed the presidency of Albany College, during 1886 and 1887, at the same time performing the pas toral duties of the First Presbyterian church at Corvallis. In 1887 he re signed the Presidency of the college to take full charge of the Corvallis church, where he remained until the year 1901. The deceased bad charge of the church at Independence, Ore gon, for five years, going to Albany a few months ago to reside with his daughter, Mrs. William Fortmiller, and at the same time supplying the pulpits of the Presbyterian churches. Another Fine Press. The Observer made another im1 portant addition to its job printing department this week by installing a new Chandler & Price press of the very latest improved style. The machine has a capacity of 2300 im pressions an hour, and is built to pro duce the finest grade of job printing. The Chandler & Price presses have no superior, and there are probably more of them in use in the city offices in the United States today than of all other makes of presses combined. The new machine has been set on a concrete foundation and is absolutely without vibration and almost noiseless, even when running at the highest speed. Any of our readers desiring to see strictly modern printing machinery in operation will be welcome to visit bur press room at any time.

The only special feature of the contest, perhaps, was the basket throwing of Steinbnch. The game at Monmouth, however, was different. A crowd of about 100 people went to the Normal town by special motor and saw more rough play than usually happens in a foot ball game. Every move was a foul, and Referee Cates, of Hillsboro, had bis hands full in calling them. The final score was 29 to 9 in favor of Dallas. Grandma Glaze Dead. Grandma Glaze, widow of the late Reuben Glaze, and one of Polk county's oldest pioneers, died at her home near Fails City yesterday morn ing at 3 o'clock. She had been afflicted with paralysis for many months. She was the mother or a large family of children, nearly all of whom a re dead. Burial will take place in the old Dallas cemetery this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
