The Albany Herald, of March 20. 1112, says: Juki ua a man will pay more money for a good null of clothes because he realizes that in the end It la cheaper than a suit that costs less uiouey 111 the flrat place, the property owners who are conaiderliiK having their atreelB paved are decid ing that Ihey had belter pay a liitle bit more In the flint place for a good Btreet pavement than to put In a cheaper article and In a few years have the Job to do over again. A number of pruuiinent buslnexa men of the Hub City went to Salem this morning to look at aome of the concrete pavement there that hua been down for aome time and they are unanliuoualy decided that tbey will have none of It when tbey can get bltullthlc pavement for not to exceed 1.65 per yard. Those wbo went down this morning were Peter Reuttner, frank Skipton, Leltoy Knox, H. F. Wentworth, J. W. War ner and Peter Baltimore. They found that the concrete pave ment in Salem baa all developed seri ous defects and weaknesses and that In many cases the property owners are already considering having their streets resurfaced with a bltuuilnoua wearing surface. A movement bus been set on foot by some of those who have hereto fore placed their names on petitions for concrete pavement, to have their Dames withdrawn since they have be come convinced that the concrete pavement la uot really economical. Hecently the city council at Salem held up a concrete pavement petition and referred It buck to the property owners so that they could make their own decihloii, aa tile council did noi care to UhMiilne the responsibility of awarding tin contract for the work unleaa the property ownera IhHltsted on It. Ham Stulth'a livery automobile, a big Wlntou-Six, had u long bath ill the I'miHjUU Hiver at the old poor farm ferry, 10 niilea northwest of here, Thursday afternoon. After be ing ferried across, tut machine started up tile approach leading to the county road, hut was carried back by the loose sand, atrikiug the apton of t lie ferry boat with force heavy enough to dislodge the peg on the bank lo which it was moored. The boat alid out into the stream and the automobile followed It, aink ing into water that almost complete ly BUbmerged It. After two hours' work with block and tackle and a team of horses, the automobile was hauled out of the water and up the unstable approach to the road. Then it was drawn to town. The machine was not materially damaged, but Its motive apparatus will have to he overhauled before It will again he serviceable.

If Riven ' th opportunity, make themsel w-s a coin in unity nuis;iii(H if Hiinne pays any athntloii to their freaks. The laN-Ht matiiiKt-r of the Oily News sc 'Iiim to In uti rare a specimen In I this Hue lid Kosehiirtf haH suffered from Hi nee the dayH of his 1111 hiniented predei -eHhor H. H. it rooks. This new Importation had not heen , here three weeks until he began at I tempting to dletute to the County Conn, what bridges they should hulM and where they should he located. Next the rity council were told what they iniiHt do In reiutlon to city I water und lighting, contractu, rity printing, etc., and began rovertly attacking the city's financial stand ing. Assaults were begun on Ken dall Hros., just at the time they we'e seriously contemiilatliiK the estab- I llshrnent of a mainmotli itawinlllln industry near HoBeburg thut woula be worth at least $iouo per clay to ; this city. More recently he. ha j started in to dictate how the countv officers shall conduct their affairs. Ah an Instance, a few days ago he directed an open letter to Co inly CUrk Lenox and rushed the same te t ) print In hold type hefore the et-j-ter liHd time to even reach him. Although Mr. Lenox knew the lette.; , arldrrr'ned to him was but an attempt to piny a little cheap politico, hu ' very courteously replied. (iiiotlng the law and giving full tnrormatlon along the linen asked. In return for his courtesy Mr. Kenox Ih promptly called a liar by this would-be die tator. although It In clear that every word he wrote Is true. Mr. Lenox is i known by everybody an an officer1 whoso capability, honesty and truth fulness are beyond question. H would seem that this "paragon of wisdom" (?) wants to place hlniself In command of all the public affairs of the city nnd county, and also say who shull or who shall not establish new Industries, etc. Doubtless he will soon be trying to tell the state' officers what their duties are and I there Is no question that the life-long i residents of Oregon will be told how they must Vote, As a matter of fart this new "figurehead" has already made a reputation here for being a "knock er." n "cheap guy" and a player of "peanut politics." The base hypocrisy of his pretenses Is revealed when it Is known that he promised to "lay! down" and quit his attacks on the i J city If given half the Hy printing, so we are very creditably Informed, i He has shown him If to be exceed ingly narrow-minded and Is over- burdened wlth egotism, evidently j thinking he ran dii tate to the ignor ant'' residents of Oregon in all public I matters. With a mind apparently ', I nra liable of understanding how the J affairs of a rity and county can be J run In the Interest of the people fn- stead of for the politicians and graft j ers, he proceeds to call one of the , most capable officers In the state a liar In return for a courteous reply to a communication that had no other ( purpose than a little petty politics I and was known to be such from the I start. But everyone here can readily Judge ns to who Is the liar, whether ; It Is Mr. Lenox or his assailant. .Other public officers may expect to be likewise attacked by this self- constituted dictator, but his small mental calibre and brazen hypocrisy being already so clearly revealed, his i howllngs hereafter will probably be given no more attention than those of a sneaking coyote.
