ORKOON, JiV. 1. E. W. BinohaM, of Portland, has dratted registry law which in the form of a bill will come before the leg islature. Mr. Bingham is the man who did more than any other man to fee tire the Australian ballot law for Oreeon. and a registry law from his bands is worthy of consideration. register; law is needed and the pros pects are bright for one. FCOPLl who think that our presi dents ought to be chosen by popular vote should find food for reflection in the statement-from Austin that during the last week of November the state returning board was counting the vote of Texas, and that even so long after election as the 1st of December the figures had not been received at the caDital from six counties, says the New York Post. Fancy the condition of the country after an election like that of 1880, when Garfield received 114 electoral votes and Hancock 155, if the public bad been obliged to wait a month or more for the full returns from Texas in order to learn which candidate bad a plurality of the popu lar vote the final count in that year abowing 9,464 more for Garfield than for Hancock in the 'whole Union. Think, too, of the temptation that the democratic officials who always com pose returning boards in Texas would have had to throw out 10,000 republi can rotes in that stale in order to leave Hancock ahead in the whole eon n try the recent count at Austin having been made behind closed doors by the goernof, secretary of state, and attorney-general, without the presence of a single representative. BETTER SO ADS. Speaking in a collective sense, the . Wealth of a nation is measured by the extent of its products and the prosper ity of its producing classes. Essential, therefore, it must be, that anything that tends to lessen labor and lessen distance between the porducer aad his market, is to be studied thoroughly, and every means at hand attainable employed to reach the desired end. How much better must it be for the fanner, then, who lives on a road upon Which at any season of the year he ' can haul a load of 1500 or 2000 pounds to market, than it is for hie neighbor farmer who goes by another road upon which he can haul that same load on three months in the year, and the other nine months is compelled to wade mnd at about two miles an hour in , reaching town with an empty vehicle. ' Every disease has its remedy, and the disease of "neglect of opportunity to improve roads" must of necessity find its positive point in "realization of wasted energy. Une shrewd re former of road work once remarked : "Pass a law compelling every super visor te own and ride a bicyle, and I'll guarantee that in an incredibly short space of time the roads will reach a desired state of perfection." That would, of course, prove a salient point, for there are no "good road" cranks like bicyclists. But there are other methods. For instance, could It not be attained to a certain extent by the newspapers and people alike, bring ing the matter before the people so that methods of road-building would become a subject for discussion at every time and place. Thb Mist has always taken a great interest in this subject, and has noted with pride the work of some super- visors of Columbia county, and de plored the lack of system in others. That the question should be thor oughly discussed, there is no question, and it One method of working the roads has proved better than another, every supervisor in the county should know it. Thb MteT will devote space to dis cussion of this subject, and every supervisor in the county is invited to explain hie system of road building, Mnd thus let the. others secure new ideas. Others also invited to contrib ute to the department, and it is the hope of The Mist that the discussion of the subject will result in a more j ystematiied plan of road building in tbe county. It is not a matter to be treated lightly, for on good roads de pends the prosperity of Columbia's farming community. A HAPPY NEW YEAR. t d you my kind reader, whoever you are, as we take your hand in a friendly clasp, and ait down face to face, speaking reverently of tbe old (lead year and dream ing cheerily of the bright new one Just ushered Into the breathing world by morn ing herald, blushing rose red upon the cold and dreary face of nature. It matters not where we panne, so the wild wind that wails for the departed piercej not our outer gar ments, chilling our beating hearts with tbe desolation of stern uncompromising pov rty, whose bitter teachings are as relent less as the wintry storm, beating pitilessly against the creviced homes of poverty and rags, and alas! of shameless remorseless sin. " -. . The eld year is gone, Wtth its dreams its glorious, spring-time dreams its nwgeoua autumn, flushed with the wine of plenty, and tbe bleak, bare desolation of November. Yes, tbe year is dead; sleeping dreamlessly with the long line of pale lowly ones, that swept past us with their golden waves of sunshine, their dropping tears through waves of silver-edged clouds, and the lonjr hours of silence and darkness when we thought the dawn would never never break for us again. De.id I We say dead, when we look upon the Culd elay of our beloved; when the terrible conviction steals upon ns with irresistible force and we know that the eyes will never unclose to our mortal vision ; that those lips, so white and still, will speak no more in low, loving accents; that the grave will hide the clay tbe unconscious clay that we loved, even In its chilly, mute ghastliness, and we say dead now. Did your eyes shed no tears when the last strokes of the midnight bell died away and tbe year 1896 lay cold and pale, stretched on a snow-white bier, and the wind whirled down on the spotless sheet the weathered leaves that had forgot ten to drop before t Did yoo hold no tryst with memory then, sending your spirit back into tbe green shadowy nook by the wayside, where you dreamed very pleasant dreams in the year gone by, going thence with a clearer, calmer reliance on the A I' mighty arm that sustains and guides us along the pathway of earth's existence f Did yoo not feel a deeper adoration for that all-perfect wisdom leading you by the and sands of life only that your eyes might see an added loveliness in the green oasis isles beyond? Did you not thank God that there bad been some clouds scudding across tbe azure overhead, that tbe calm, unruffled skies might look serene and brighter by the welcome oontrast? I ask you, child of affluence, sitting cosily wrapt in the dreamy shadows of your luzurous rooms where the eye drinks in its full of beauty with every wandering survey, with you we look back into tbe mazy paths over whose beauty and decay is thrown the misty veil loving spirits wears to soften our sorrows past and give a silvery radiance to our joys forever lied. Ah I but yon bare seen moments in that old dead year when your soul went out in a cry of agony; fevered for a cooling draught from the sweet fonntain of peace ; hungered for a morsel from the tree of eveilasting life. There have been hours when all the glitter and pride of those crowded saloons had no power to hush a single wild throb bing of your heart; when tne lonely spirit were better mated with the rocks and trees and dancing, waters down some richly clothed ravine than with those banghty hollow souls. There tbe rushing of waves. the soul-sighing of winds through the grand old trees, and the erratic songster's broken warble like a half-formed chant of a newly ransomed spirit would bush to peace in audible beatings, the strong, quick throbs of world-warning passions. , You have en vied the plow-boy on yon hillside the coarsely clad rustic who whistled and sang all day at his labor and you thought be was dreaming of the years when he could count bis acres of rustling corn, his wide meadows, broad pasture fields, and noble woodland crowning the heights beyond. You could not see tbe ha If -defined Images that floated through his brain, as his fancy roved far, very far from the stretch of blue sky girdling his native hills. He was dream ing of tbe Kile; dreaming of the pyramids arising from Egypt's gleaming sand, wondering if Memnon's statue played now at sunrise, and saying in his secret soul: "These feet shall stand in ths shadows of those ponderous piles and tread the shores of the majestic rivers. Hasten years; bear me on to manhood; my soul is impatient of its fleshly leashing strings. I would stretch my wings like a bird and look down from higher than mountain tops upon the varied scene below. Roll on glorious seasons ; burst into beauty and bloom, and fade away as the yellow-eyed violet withers and dies before my steel-pointed plow." Thus he was dreaming of more thaa broad acres and white-walled cottages, whence be could gaze upon tbe wood, (be glancing stream let, and the dewy corn when the sun rose splendent upon the world in the fresh June mornings. His dreams may be vain and bis feet may pause on the verge of a lonely grave long ere his hastening footsteps have reached life's meridian height and his eyes feasted on the sublimity and grandeur and loveliness of another hemisphere. But it were a sin to envy that boy his peaceful dreams. Your restless soul might have the sweet content that makes hi life the feast it is, would you only bend to the band lifted above' you, apd say "Whatever thou sendetb me, O God, that will I take to my bosom; murmuring not if there be sting ing pain in the contact, for I know that far away from this clouded existence a brighter life shall flow aronnd my spirit; there shall all my fever thirst be allayed ; there shall my hungered soul feast on ambrosial nec tar and work out tbe mighty mystery of eternal years." "A bruised reed He will not break." Be pliant under the Master's band: drink of the cup that is held to your quivering lips; turn notaway loathing even though tbe bitter dregs mingle with tbe honeyed flow. Give no vain regrets for the old dead year; turn to the new with a chastened soul, resolved to bind up the wounds of bleeding hearts. Give bread to the hungered; set your cup of cold water by the roadside where the wayfarer, tired and thirsty from the heat and burden of the day, shall lift it to his parched lips and go on blessing the giver for more than grains of shining gold. Be not lifted up by wealth or station; go into yonder churchyard and know that you shall lie as lowly as those dream-sleepers; that the daisy will nod above your head, unconscious that the spirit deemed its clay of finer mould than the ashes of those tombs unmasked by monu mental marble. Bay not to the erring, "I am holier than thou ; the hem of my gar-; ment may not touch your contaminated self; stand aside from my pathway and let me pass." God gives his sunlight to such even. He withholds not the dewy shower. nor withers the wild blossom in their path. You cannot look into those darkened souls and see the temptation that assails with such resistless force, the weak will conld but buccumb.

ALVAN J. SHEPARD, Teacher of Carico school. January 1st, 1897. ' ST. HELENS SCHOOL NOTES. Director Miles visited school Tuesday j afternoon. G. A. Hall visited Salem this week, at tending the Slate Teachers' Association. School was favored with a call from Mr. Godfrey, of the bay, Monday forenoon. We understand that tbe Houlton school will commence immediately after the holt- days. During vacation tbe blackboards will be repainted, which will add greatly to their utility. Last week there were examinations in reading and primary hittory, spelling and geography. We would be thankful to any of the read- ei s of Tbi Mist if tbey notice from time to time any questions answered wrong to let us know, so they can be corrected. Two pupils of this school will finish the grammar school course, corresponding to that given iu the Portland schools, and ar rangements have been made so they will enter Portland High school, beginning with the spring term. The questions for this issne were asked by the following pupils: Marie Dufour, Pearl Decker, Myrtle Newell, Flora George, Anna George and Wilbur Muckle. They are good questions, and reflect credit upon the pupils asking them. In noticing the course ot study of the Clatskanie high school we see that it in eludes Greek and Latin. It has been demon strated time and again that to fit pupils for practical life, as the public school is sup posed to do, that Greek and Latin have no place for it. We were surprised to learn that such studies were taught in the school of that place. To know our own language well is far better than to have a smattering of some other langnage, and not be able to use our own correctly. Of course Greek and Latin for pupils who are masters of the English language are of great benefit, but to teach it to pupils who bave just finished a common school course is a mistake which has been fully proven in the past, and which the patrons of the Clatskanie school will discern before many months. . Again we are compelled to notice re marks and criticisms from Clatskanie in The Mist, and a little paper called tbe "Whizzer,"coocerning an article which ap peared some weeks ago. concerning tbe project of a high school being erected in this place. In reply to the article in the "Whizzer" of the 18th inst., it seems its author almost exhausts his supply of knowledge to find words large enough to express himself so he could' be understood, and be used a whole column to say what could have been said in five lines. He quotes Didorous, Themistocles and other ancient authorities that nineteen out of twenty of his readers never heard of, in a way that causes people to smile. He also places emphasis on the fact that the school which judging from tbe article he has the honor to be tbe head of, "launder the supervision of as able educators (notice the capital E) as you will find in any of tbe larger cities of the state." Of that we have no doubt, but we once beard that "self praise is half scandal." As for St. Helens being the head of Columbia county, that is a conceded fact, but as for a few people be ing at the bead of St. Helens, and conse quently at tbe head of the county, we say 0, no. We concede that the editor of the "Whizzer" is entitled to that honor. As for waiting for St. Helens to bave a high school, just wait until next spring and we will have the high school building.

Why is the picture of the American eagle placed on the money of the United States, and what does it represent? SECTARIAN APPROPRIATIONS. St. Helens, Dec 29, 1898. Ma. Editob: As tbe legislature will con vene in a few days, questions are arising in peoples' minds as to whether it will fol low in the earns line as did the last legisla lure, in appropriating tbe state's money for tbe support of sectarian and private de nominational institutions and hospitals. Upon consultation of House Bill 382, line 72 to 78, of the general appropriation bill passed by the last legislature, we And that 32,000 were appropriated for hospitals and private institutions under the supervision of different denominations and creeds, which do not pay one cent of tax, yet they get this immense sum of money for support, when every one of them are self sustaining and fully able to exist without support from taxpayers. The last legislature was a blot on the 'sir name of Oregon and a disgrace to the people. Every taxpayer should keep posted upon the actions of his representative, and carefully watch bow he votes and what be votes for. Any mem ber who votes for appropriations other than those under the supervision of tbe state should and will be pigeon-holed and sink Into obscurity before another election rolls around It is a crying shame that the lawmaking powers of a state can be hoodwinked, bought and coerced into appropriating the hard earned money of the taxpayers for the sup port of any institution not under state con trol. For example, at Beaverton, in Wash ington county, there Is situated an orphan's boms and convent, which bas 1000 acres of land of tbe finest quality some 100 acres being beaverdani-f jr its support, and sot paying ons cent of tax until this year for the last ten years, not even being on the tax roil until recently, when tbe property was assessed and sold at sheriff's sale for taxes, and suit was brought in the circuit court against the sheriff to recover, and to exempt It from taxation ; but thanks to a just decision by the judge of that dis trict, it had to pay its share of tax, as it should, yet the last legislature, through the eftorts of one of tbe representatives from Washington county, appropriated $4000 for its support. Now the question arises, how do the people know whether one cent goes for the benefit of those to whom it was in tended or in the capricious pockets of those who have charge of said Institutions. If tho legislature must appropriate the people's money in such a way why not pass a law to have the governor appoint an in spector to see that ths money be PNPr1' expended for ths purpose m m ars vital question whloh effect every tax payer these hard times, and itiould D watched Willi eteruui vig" ,m.- In which suili bills are passed should be Inquired Into and In vestigated carefully by every peron Inter osteS.
