Mc .TOLL LEASED WIRE TELEGRAPH REPORT Some people are in such a hurry that they always run past their goal. ft. LITTLE COUNTY DOES THINGS. Klamath county, the third smallest county in the state, spent $101,509.30 this year on roads. It is, if we remember rightly, the third smallest in population of any county in the state of Oregon. It has but one city of any size Klamath Falls a city of six thousand, and a great deal of mountain territory. - The county court this year graded up fifty miles of heavy grade new road, from sixteen, to thirty feet wide. The new grade is well ditched and drained, in some cases the dtiches leading away a quarter ofa mile. About 250 miles of mountain road wa3 put in good condition, the high centers, rocks and fallen timber removed. A second rock crusher has now been bought and hard surfac ing will be done in 1912 on a large scale. As much money will be spent in 1912, and the tax is raised on a valuation of sixteen million- dollars. 1 The county court of Klamath county has broken all records and wears the medal for actually doing things on roads. County Judge Worden and Commissioners Merrill and Sum mers wear the belt for being good roads builders. They have gone ahead and done things without waiting for state legislation or state aid or Portland, promoters. They have also decided to wait no longer for better laws about organization, and will abolish the road supervisor system. They are going to take the bits in their teeth and build roads on modern, scientific lines with the law and authority they now have. ' They have gone a step furtherand have put on caretakers to protect the roads they do build against being destroyed. They were in Salem to ask the governor for the use of fifty convicts for their 1912 campaign, and will use them, too. That is the spirit that must put Oregon ahead, instead of waiting for the wrangling politicians, and the kicks of kickers. The county courts now have enough law and authority to go ahead and build roads, and the Klamath men have set the pace. Just seven months from the publication of "Queed" the re markable popularity of Mr. Henry S. Harrison's novel , resulted in its passing the 100,000 mark. The edition, which Houghton, Mifflin Co. sent to press last week to supply the holday demand, brngs the total number of copies to 110,000. One day last week brought these Boston publishers orders , for 1000 copies of "Queed" for England, being the eighth edition to be sent across the water, as well as many orders from all over the United States, making the total for the day 4000 copies. STAND ON YOUR OWN MORALITY. Mr. Hendricks, of the Statesman, took what was intended for editorial humor seriously.' Commenting on its city editor swapping places with an evan gelist, The Capital Journal made light of the matter. The Capital Journal prints a sermon each week, and has for many years, that is read by thousands of people. It never farms out the columns of this paper "to be edited by any one, good or bad, religious or irreligious. The intimation of Mr. Hendricks is that any minister would improve the moral character of The Capital Journal. However that might be, and we have no doubt it might be one way or the other, a newspaper should stand on it3 own mor als. There is no way to give moral quality or irhraj stamina to a man or newspaper by borrowing some one else's character. Every tub must stand on its own bottom, and you have no more morality than you can show in your daily life and busi ness methods. The Capital Journal does not make any parade of its morals, or virtues or religion, as it would make a poor showing, probably. But it is better to have a little more of these commodities in stock than you hold out to the public. JUKY IX BEEF PACKERS' CASE IS SECURED Ionitid riraa Lataio wiai.l Chicago, Deo. 18. The defense In the beef packers' case announced to day that the 12 veniremen now lathe box are satisfactory to them and the case Is now ready to proceed. It had been expected that the "beet barons," 10 of whom are charged with criminal conspiracy under the Sherman law, would make further ef fort to delay presentation of the case. ; ., l o To Control Floods, E. T. Goodrich, an expert engineer, la suggesting to Portland the expedi ency of protecting the city against floods, by building reservoirs at the head of the Willamette. The scheme seems good, but the writer's recol lection of Portland', big floods Is that they came from the Columbia nota bly that of 1876. To make the scheme feasible will require the damning of the headwaters of the Columbia, and that is somewhat of a contract o . SIIUTISU TKCST TO BE INTESTIGATED (CHtTID mil UASH WIU.1 Washington, Dec. IS. Supporting bla resolution asking investigation of the shipping, trusts, Congressman Humphrey, of Washington, before the house committee on rules, said today: "More than 90 per cent of the over sea commerce la carried in foreign ships belonging to pools, combines and 'Conferences'. They have no competition and the passenger, and freight rates are fixed by agreement." o J. With China la revolution there Is still hope for Joe Cannon and ex-Boss Aldrlch.

EAST, Cashier, 8. 8. EAST, Vlce-Prea. DR. L. B. 8TEEVES. U H. ROBERTS, Directors. Who Is Parklson? Ed. Journal: Will you kindly tell us who Is Mr. Parklson, who seems to be in charge of the campaign against the Oregon State University? His let ter beads show he Is an attorney and counsellor at law In the Labor Tem ple, on Alder street, Portland. Who employs him to carry on his work? Is he a taxpayer Does he own a borne in Oregon, or is he a mere tran sient gentleman, employed for the time being, and who employs him? May it not be the enemies of our whole public educational system? How long ghall our people be agitated and the state torn up by unknown agitators like Parklson? Is he not the man who has been in charge of the raising of funds for the McNamaras? Who are his associates, and what do they represent, Are they men of means and character and Influence that the people of Oregon shall run after them? Are we all fools and chidren that we have got to be steered and advised from the outside by Interlopers and tramps and adven turers? I do not say Parklson is one of this class, but we ought to know more about him. ' RESIDENT. (The Capital Journal does not know as much about H. J. Parklson as the writer of the above seems to know. Ed.) The State Labor Press. Ed. Journal: The State Labor Press, a corporation publishing a state labor paper, Is not a state labor press at all. It is a state -political press, for political purposes, and to dictate the political policy of Oregon, to masqderade as a Labor Press, and incites boycotts and urges agi tators to foment strikes and discord. It is not a publication to help labor, but to raise all the h 1 possible at the expense of laborers. Will the La bor Press publish who are Its owners and board of directors to dictate its policies? Is It owned and published by any responsible party, and by any employers of labor? Let us have done with this masquerade, and come out and fight in the open, and let us see who are the friends of labor. The time has come for a show-down, and the show-down is overdue and will clear up the game a whole lot. UNION LABORITE. o Y.RAYS ANn SMII FS to The senate Is going cautiously in the Russian matter of violating the treaty of 1832 fearing it will "bust trade." This government is first for the protection of its citizens either at home or abroad, regardless of creed, or race. The senate, the president, nor any one else has a right to "tem porize" when their rights are con cerned. If protecting Americans vis iting Russia means the loss of trade, then "To h 1 with trade." Cornelius Vanderbtlt has had his verlform appendix cut out and will recover. So long a it is only a tart of the body and not the bank roll that Is lost, the Vanderbtlt class will al ways recover. The Polk County Observer Is the first out with a Christmas number.lt reaching our table this morning. It Rheumatism Is A Constitutional Disease. It manifests Itself In local aches and pains, inflamed Joints and stiff mus cles, but it cannot be cured by local applications. It requires constitutional treatment, and the best Is a course of the great blood purifying and tonic medicine Hood's Sarsaparilla which corrects the acid condition of the blood and builds ip the system. Get It today In usual liquid form or chocolated tablets called Sarsatahs, Is a dandy number too, with 20 pages, each a little better than the other. It would be quite In their line of business if . the Indicted Chicago packers should try to pack the Jury. McManigal In his statement weeps over his wicked d.eds, mourns for his wife, points out bow much he has done in the interest of Justice, and kicks becuse he wasn't paid enough for his dirty work, and com plains that he was "double crossed." The western governors' trip has ended, the gang having reached St i Paul Saturday, and hence is back into the eastern borders of their own countries. , That prisoner who attempted to re move evidence against himself by swallowing a $2 counterfeit bill, may still have trouble In passing it He is taking some chances. . The Portland woman who killed herself in Chicago, Friday because a certain man or, as It seems, an un certain one, refused to marry her, should have kept tab on the Oregon papers.
