YkstkkbaY was the day fixed by
President McKioley for the Nation
to return thanks for the many blessings
beitowed upon u a a people during
the year. Surely oar nation has
abundant cause to be thankful to the
Kuler of the UnWarse. No Nation
since the dawn ol history bus made
such rapid strides in development
long material lines, or ever reached
that high state of culture, refinement,
intelligence, personal liberty and
jrreatness in the same length of time.
From foes without, from enemies
within, our statesmen have guided the
Bbips of State through many devious
and troublesome paths, over, at times,
tempestuous seas, and have thus far,
brought it into protected harbors,
where it has anchored in Bafety.
During the past year a war with one
of the oldest European nations has
been fought nd successfully ended.
Our navy has won undying fame at
Manila and Santiago. Our army has
crowned itself with glory and our Na
tion with honor. Our citizens have
nobly responded in men and means to
earry on the project of the hour.
Pence again smiles upon cmr favored
land, and why not be thankfalT Cuba
is freed ; the Maine has been remem
bered and avenged. The Nation has,
as if by magic, leaned in one bound
from its inertia into wider fields of
usefulness, and from a sixth or seventh
Tata power into the third among the
govurunivtils of the earth. In all this
the God of Nations has led the hosts,
and to His name and His power it is
fitting that the Nation should bow
reverently and pour out the sincere
thanks of grateful hearts. ,
Tb movement for an improved
Condition of pnblio highways in the
northwestern rart of Oregon has
spread like magic, and a determined
spirit is almost everywhere manifosted
to belter the condition of the farmer
aud producing element by affording
him better means of marketing his
product by improving the roads. The
balance of favor is toward planked
roads in Clatsop and Tillamook coun
ties, as is shown by articles elsewhere
in this issue of Thk Mist, taken from
representative papers in those coun
ties. The conditions prevailing in
Columbia county are not at all differ
ent from those which prevail in the
counties just mentioned, and we be
lieve the only sure and substantial
way to better the condition of the :
roads in this county is to plank them.
It appears that in Tillamook county
gravel for road improvement has been
extensively used but has proven to be
not the proper material, aud in Col
umbia county that character of ma
terial is uut so abundant, and perhaps
if it were and were used to any con
biderable extent on the roads, it would
prove as flat a failure as it did in Till
amook county. There is no end to
timber, and if some plan can be de
vised whereby the material can be cut
so as not to cost the county too heavily
we would advise the adoption of the
plan. The case in the counties before
mentioned seems to be on the verge
of desperation, and really, Columbia
county is as bad off in that respect ss
either of them. It will be easier to
arrive at a logie conclusion regarding
this matter, perhaps, after the regular
session of the legislature has revised
the road laws.
Having been pessimistic so long, it
is pleasant if not profitable to be opti
mistic, especially as the conditions
st em to justify it. Says an Eastern
non temporary : "The crops continue
promising, exports of merchandise are
bpavv, railroad traffie is increasing.
' the Uuited States treasury is rich, the
amount of money in circulation is
larger than in any preceding year in
the historv of the country, gold im
ports are impending, and individual,
corporate and government credit is
hiKh." Add to this recital tue lact
thai the war is over, with a phenome
nally low record in the loss of life, and
without a sinele defeat to our arms;
that business conditions are readjust
ee themselves to their former settled
conditions; that the development of
our mine is progressing satisfactorily,
and that the fanning class is paying
its debts rapidly, and we have an out
look for industrial and commercial
prosperity rare in national history.
This lieiug true, our people are justi
fied in a feeling of satisfaction, l'ros-
perity beaten back by relentless con
ditions f depression was slow to ad
vance, but its steps are for this reason
the more surely pluced. Boom con
ditions are not expeoted ; certainly
i hey are not desired by prudent people.
But sure footed prosperity, as indicated
in the above estimate, is advancing,
ami in due course of its progress the
rlinet of "hard times," which has suo-
(ceiletl the grim "absence that stalked
tibroaJ so long in the land will be laid,
only to be-, resurrected by national
dl'y and t?xtravaKnce. To 'he ex
en t that tlio lussons of economy that
8
have been learned by compulsion
within rvcent years are applied to an
turufcrm'r pT"p'H,y, lbs . condition
now furofhailowed will be lasting.

OF GENERAL INTEREST
The county court of Tillamook
county desires to purchase a portable
sawmill. All persons having nulls ot
this kind to dispose of are requested
to send their proimsiiion to U. W.
Sumiinirton. count v iude at Tilla
mook Oregon. This is a bona fide auHomrU is paid, when it aha.t be the property

The religion that makes people pay

people from speaking ill of their neigh

the religion that makes man mauly and

The newspaper man is a public
slave. He helps to make his neighbor
rich and dies poor. He helps to elect
candidates to fat salaries, and gels a
little patronage at starvation prices
and waits till doomsday for bis money.
He builds up the churches, schools
and other public institutions, contri
butes bis mite to their support, and
when they have paid job work and ad
vertising to give, they take it some
where ele, or ask for bids from those
who never aided them against tboe
who did. He credits a man for years
for a paper and when he sends in a bill
the man gets mad and quits. That's
why all newspaper men go to heaven
and why so many other sorts miss
connection with the "Gospel train."
A petition was circulated in Tilla
mook on Saturday asking the board of
county commissioners to purchase a
portable sawmill. ': We referred in our
last isue to the necessity of planking
some ot our county roads, as it is found
impossible to keep them fit to travel
over the year round, the gravel washing
out with so much wot weatner. ice
petitioners think it will be more eco
nomical for the county to purchase a
portable sawmill if the commissioners
decide to plank a number of the roads,
and by so doing it io estimated that
planking can be turned out for about
$2.50 a thousand. At the adjourned
meeting of county commissioners on
Tuesday, it was decided to purchase
a portable sawmill, provided it wou.d
not cost more thsn f 2,500. Commis
sioner Bay was around with a sub
scription list, which provides that if
the county court purchases the porta
ble sawmill, the parties will give the
amount, either in work or money,
thev have subscribed their names to.
It is expected that eight hundred dol
lars will be raised this way, and will
be used to improve the roads south of
here. Nearly SoOO wan subscribed the
first day. Tillamook Headlight.

Clataop County Owns a Mill and
VII! flank Its Roads.
Clatsop countv has solved the problem of
getting a passable road constructed Irom
tins Hi? to me JNeiiaicm vauey ai very
little eipense. 'I he county courijhasde
tenuineit to inirvhnau a portable sawmill
and engine, widen wan among llieonrgo of
the wrecked Yukon steamer Htugtiound. at
the roil nf An association of dinners,
headed by U. M. Wooden, of Jewell, has
agived to operuto the mill and furuisb lum
ber to the county tor road improvement
purposes at the rate of i'J per thousand feet,
the understanding lielng that fifty per cet
of the mill's gross earnings shall revert to
the county until the original cost of the
f tbe association. Iiv tbi arrangement it
is thought the roomy will be able to secure
some louu-needed highways, even in the
fncaofth present unfavorable mud laws.
Astoria Note iu Friday's Oisgoniau,
While there is a wide difference of opinion
in regard to how.best to improve tbe roads in
Columbia connty whether rock or plauk
we believe the latter to be the most practi
cal because tbere is a greater amount ot
material accessible for that purpose. Tbere
are many miles of road in this conuty that
can never be mads passable the year round
unless they are planked, and the cheapest,
yet moat substantial manner of doing this
must be devised. We do not hesitate to
say tbat in our opinion, Clatsop county is
pursuing the proper course in purchasing a
sawmill to cut its own lumber for road im
provement purposes. The road from Clata
kanie to Mist is a practical illustration of
the benefit of a plank roadv Before tbat
road was planked it was impassible the
greater part of the year, and the benefit to
both places since the toad was made passi
ble, can hardly be estimated. The same
conditions would prevail ia case the road
from St. Helens to. Pittsburg and Vernouia
was planked in the worst places. We'do
not couteod that the road should be planked
the entire distance. That, we believe,
ould be impracticable because It would be
too expensive at first. No other method
can ba employed, however, to make the
road what it should be, but with the limited
means at hand, the worst must be over
come first, and the final stats of its perfec
tion rescued as time and means are obtain
able. :'
With other than the prevailing methods
of collecting and expending road money in
vogue, which certainly will result from the
urgent demands now upon the legislature
to revise the system, it would ba but a
short time when the good effects of the
change would make itself noticed. It per
fect harmony will prevail among those who
are interested in this latest departure in
Clatsop county, the move will be success
ful, but it seems to us it would S better way
for the mill to be the property of tbe connty
and the county court to hare supervision
over ir Certainly tba improvement of the
roads should be a mutual aim of all the
people, but tbere is a chaucs for it to prove
itself otherwise, and in case it did so termi
nate, the results would not be difficult to
comprehend. As we understand it, tbe
mill to be purchased by Clatsop county
wiil eventually become the property of an
association and there would arise the possi
bility of the county being no better off than
it ia at present, or before the machinery
was pnt in operatlen. Tbe association
would become as an individual and tbe
county would be at Its mercy. At all
events the progress will be watched with
much interest, as the intent and purpose
is good, but we believe the proper thing for
Columbia connty to do is to purchase and
own its mill and then the county court Is
master of its operations. The road law
which will undoubtedly be enacted by ths
next legislative assembly, will certainly en
able a proposition of this kind to be more
successful)- carried out. Tba demand for
better roads is becoming greater each year,
and any change that will be made iu the laws
governing this important matter will cer
taiuly be carefully considered for merit be
fore being placed upon the statutes of our
state.
