If it teaches the average catrxen how to cast his ballot intel lif rally socialism will be an accom fdished fact so far as Oregon is con caaed. There is talk oi amending the di red vimary law in the nextsession of the Legislature it don't suit the bosses. Let what the people have created alone their servants caaaeno better. Engineer Elliottt resignea be caut there was talk about the ik be had done in the city of rtland. Perhaps if anDusen, the fish comnaisstoner, should hear what is said about his admiuistra- tksr he would go and do . likewise. If jou think you are important and wish to kinw of what worth to IbtcommnnUj you are, just buck yovr finger in a pail of watei, draw it est and look lor the hole. This ithastrates to a nicetv the impres- tkm yen Have made in. the coaimu- wtj. often fool never." Perhaps there was windom in the change of mind of llonV John II. Mitchell and Binger Herman. They may resent and experience a change of heart also after conferring with, the grand jury. Last week the Gazette published the greater portion of the tax list in a supplement. Had the printer read carefully the affidavit of pub lication he would have done other wie. The last, clause in the pnx-f of publication reads: . "And that said notice was? published in a Bcwtpapv and. not irv a supple peat, ! ' The peopte made the local option law and it is all right. Only a 'few fellows do not liketheway it works. The law is having a wholesome ef fect Buon the saloon ' business in this county The saloons are run nearer in accordance with the law than they were before the law was enacted. The busine-s must con form to the regulations or it will haw to go. Tie Mist ,and other county pa pen would be, pleased to print a synopsu of the meetings of the county grange: but it appears that the secretary of the grange refuses !o famish grange news to any pa per nut xus own. Oregon Mist STio told you so? The eecretaJy furnished the Wist, Chief and Ga zette with a column of news from tbt Pom-na grange previous to the last one. This little wrileup was not appreciated by the Mist it did not say so. None of the coun ty papers have ever anked for the cewg. There is asi opportunity to nnhe with the grange and then yea can .et your own news. If you persist in whining people will soon think there is something wrong with you.. At its iifxt letfiiiar tetsion the ct mniWhipnera court will be called upt'D to levy tttxs lor the enduing year. Ih total assessed valuation is $2,576,362. On this amount an tight mill tax wou d raise $20,000 wbkb is a trifle less than the mount expended last year for county general fund. If the road levy was put at 2 mills it would raise $5000. This would be a little .more than one fifth the amount flrofcd hi last year and would only he'enough to keep the roads in re pair. This is sufficient. . If per manent roads tie to be made let the districts through which they run lery a tax for that purpose, and let all work by contract. The state and school fund will require about 12 mills, This would make a total of 22 mills, and would rais? about $51,000. To this add $25,000 spe cial taxes that should be levied in different road districts and ech'ool districts would make a grand total of $77,000. And the people should sot be asked to pay one cent more than that amount. A two mill court house tax has been suggested. It is not needed until the ounty is ready to build a conit house, and frum what we can learn there ,-,wjll be opposition to building a court konse untiltheffve years have elapsed since the election to locate jfte county seat. Irartty la Sew Sralaad. New Zealand is the only country we believe that has a compulsory arbitration law in operation, and in the main itstvmo to have worked successfullv. Fublic ownership of public utilities has also gained a large foothold in that distant and progressive island. Hence the re cent report of the minister for the department of labor io that coun try contains some facts of interest to the world generally, and a few of them are therefore summarised. There is no diminution or retar dation in the steadiness of New Zealand's economic advance. There is general prosperity among work ers. Municipal enterprises, such as street railways, etc, have ab sorbed surplus labor near cities, and the demand for labor in the country districts has exceeded the supply. Though there were 18,1 S8 more arrivals than departures from Australia, agricultural laborers were scarce at 24 cents an hour, and it has been difficult to get re lable workmen on railway con struction. Building trades have boen fully employed all over the province. "Wellington alone has increased the value of its property $7 508 010. Carpenters have been scarce at $2.07 a day. The iron trade was for awhile dull, but this is improving. The gold dredging industry now begins to rest on a solid basis. The boot and shoe trade, somewhat depressed for a few years, is reviving. Woolen mills have run to their full capaci ty, and their only difficulty is to secure labor, especially girls trained in the hosiery department. Cloth manufacturing, tailoring and dress making were buoyant, and called for much overtime work. Laundry work has almost doubled, and workers are in demand. So in the pastoraland agricultural districts' the supply of labor is insufficient to meet the demand The colony's exports have risen in 10 years from $42,787,215 to $74,15X3,060, and sa vings banks deposits have increased by 1U,:505,770. All of which is evidence that New Zealand people have not suf fared from breaking out of the old ruts. Purtland Journal, Dec. 9. The Grand Jury has indicted F. r. Mays for complicity in the land frauds. He will be the cheif figure in the next case and the story pro mises to be of more than ordinary interest. .... - A Certain Core for Croup.
