OFFICIAL COUNTY- PAPER.
Mr. Tki.lkk's desire to '.'Jo something
for silver" is greatly handicapped by
the fact that his colleague, Wolcott, is
working with 'the committee that is
preparing a gold standard bill for intro
duction in the senate.
Tin president's message to "congress
shows careful preparation and a strong
determination to take agressive action
in the Philippine matter and the cur
rency question. The gold- standard will
'undoubtedly be enacted into law by
this congress.
Thi Fifty-Sixth congress of the United
States convened on Monday, and the
indications are that a great deal of val
uable work will be donei There is
greater responsibility resting on this
congress than any since the rebellion,
all of which will be met fearlessly and
efficiently. In the senate there is a re
publican majority of sixteen and in the
house there are eighteen majority,
which insures good, sound legislation.

years. From the Multnomah county
line to Clatskauie, thence to Mist, and
up the Nehalem river to the Washing
ton county line, and from St. Helens to
Pittsburg, would miiko one continuous
thoroughfare which could lie traveled
with some degree of satisfaction..
Aocikaldo has been advised to sur
render and treat for mercy at the hands
of this government. Aggie is consid
erably tardy in determining such a
course, although it is a display of wis
dom on his part.. His junta in this
country will not take kindly to such a
course, but they are hopeless and help
less, having exhausted all their powers
to influence the little rebel to longer
hang on. It's a pretty time now to
talk surrender and appeal for mercy.
Tbk democratic party in the house
has placed itself on record as favoring
the seating of Polygaraist Roberts, from
Utah. Out of all the republican mem
bers of the lower house of the United
States congress, but one of them Loud,
of California voted against the Tayler
resolution to investigate the polygamist.
Tliere were thirty votes against the
resolution, twenty-eight of them being
cast by democrats. Of course Roberts
is a free-silver anti-expansionist and
his vote was needed iu order to "do
something" for silver.
Agl'inaldo is the slipperiest person-
age whom the United States has had to
deal with since Sitting Bull, but the
Indian was brought to terms at last,
and so will the Tagal. The chances for
him to retreat much farther or to dodge
the American troops much longer arc
exceedingly faint, lie is cornered by
men who hare had considerable experi
ence in dealing with elusive foes, and if
be gets away from them at the present
moment he will be hunted just as re
morselessly next week and the week
after and the week after until heiscsught
or killed. There is no escape for the rebel
chieftain except in surrender. The
fact that he does not give himself up is
a pretty strong indication that he lacks
the sense which Atkinson, Bryan, Lentz
, and the rest of the American Tagals
Bay he has.
AauiNAi.Do is pretty hard pressed
these days. He may elude the troops a
few weeks longer. Possibly he may
escape from the island altogether, and
go to Asia or Europe. The end in any
case, however, will be the same. Most
of his array will be captured, and the
rest of it will be so thoroughly dis
persed that it will never get together
again. We presume the governmental
Washington would not make any es
pecial efforts to head Aguinaldo off if
he were trying to escape to the out
side world. The prime object is the
capture of his army, and this cannot be
delayed much longer. It is pretty clear
in any event, that the Tagal rebellion
is on its last legs, despite the aid it got
and expected still to get from the great
party whose victory in the recent elec
tions all the Filipino rebels prayed for.
Ex-Prikidrst Cluvkland has joined
tho ranks of the expansionist. It will
soon le hard to point out any man iu
the democracy sticking to the contrac
tion 1st side who has had any standing
in the party except the few w reckers
who belong to the liryanito contingent.
"Anti-imperialism" promises, by the
time the next election takes place, to be
as dead as that other democratic issue of
slavery, gome democrats saw the drift
against slavery before It attained for
midable proportions, and left their
party. There were many Bourbons like
Bryan, however, among the democrats
of half a century ago, who clung to
slavery to the end, and wmt down iu
the general wreck which overwhelmed
that institution. The flag-furlirs will
be beaten as badly as were tho sjav
eryites, and fewer tears will be shed, for
them than were dropped for their pro
geuitors. ALIi OYEK THE STATE.

A Missouri editor who stands very
close to liryan lias announced the e
braka politeian's plutform in a very
trite and truthful manner. Here it is:
"VVe'uns are out and you'uus are in;
therefore what yon'uns are tor we'uns
are agin ; resolved that you'uus must get
out and let we'uns in."
There's Bryanism in a. nutshell, and
Bryau's Quibbling and obuctiro state
ments regarding his position on the 1'hiM
ippiue question prove mat tne juisaouri
editor "U onto Bryaa with both feet."
The anuual report of Binarer Herman,
commissioner of the general land olhce,
shows that in Oregon the total amount
of land disposed of by the land office
was 5-10,4 acres, which brought fl48
390. The sales in the Roseburg district,
wbicu includes Benton county, were
much larger thau of any other district
in the state, wMeh seems to prove .that
there is a possibility tf there being a
greater attraction there for new-comers
than elsewhere. The total sales of this
district amount to $15,831), representing
15ti,8'J5 acres, of which $7,409, embraced
in cash entries. The present outlook indi
cates that there will be a much larger
transfer of real estate in this district
during the coming year than there has
been in the past.
A person named Plummer, of Polk
county, is out in an assault on Governor
(jeer. Plummer savs that in the state
campaign he paid Mr. (jeer $1000 that
Mr. liecr, if elected governor, was to
appoint him superintendent of the peni
tentiary; that when, after election,
Governor Geer failed to make the ap
pointment as agreed, the $1000 was re
turned to Plummer together with an
additional $1000, ns " hush money.
Plummer claim to have Governor
Geer's receipt for the $1000, and the
Salem SeiHiucl makes much ado about
the matter.
The story has all the ear marks of an
untruth. A man who shamelessly boasts
that he bought thesujierintendeiicy of the
penitentiary for $1000, has little respect
tor his own name and fame. Men coarse
enough to besmear their own reputation
in an an attempt to asperse the charac
ter of another, have iio conception of
trutb, honesty or kindred traits of char
acter. Since Plumme makes a brazen con
fession that he ollered money, and not
merit, for a public office, the fair minded
man w ill at once guess that his word is
not reliable.
Still another feature condemns the
story. Even though he be a governor,
Mr. Geer is not a born fool. Had he
dealt with Plummer as alleged, he
would have known enough not to have
given aJjuyer of public offices a written j
receipt for funds received. Only silly
old women whom the fool killer fails to
find, are foolish enough todo that sort of
.business, and the 'statement that a man
as intelligent and keen witled as Gov
ernor Geer figured in any such a piece
of lunacy, is, in the very nature of
things, not only unlikely, but unworthy
of respect.
"Do I know United States Land Com
missioner Binger Herman?" exclaimed
I). Diller, councilman from the fourth
ward in Tacoioa. "Well I should say
that I did !" And Oilier wiped the per
spiration from his brow.
"When I was a young man, and that
was a great many "years ago," said Mr.
Oilier, "Herman and 1 steamboated
together on the Columbia river. For a
time Herman was steward .and I was
cook, later the order was reversed.
Later we went to law school to
gether. One day Herman took me out
in the wools.
"Diller," said he, "there is something
that I have wanted to tell you for some
time."
"Go ahead," I replied.
"Well." said he. "I don't want you
to take any offence, but if you should ;
study law ten thousand years you would J
never muae a lawyer, lou are wasting
your tune, and you had better gel lilo
something else."
"That night I thought the matter all
over. 1 had "tinned hard harder than
most of the students but I was not tit
ted for a lawyer, and although 1 had not
seen it before, when it was pointed out
to me by a Jriend 1 realized the tact. 1
time ho falls in lovo it won't be with a
monoxide retort. All of which goes to
show that gas is as good for lovo as it is
for suicide.
Now we are grilling lVwey. A few
who helped to house him, more who did
not, are tearing up jack because Dewey
deeded something that was his to some
body who is his. Nobody blames tho
papers for making a public mountain
out of a private molehill. They "are
here for that purpose." Rut hundreds
of Us are tearing our hair and calling on
the Gods of our fathers to take notice.
Our advice to George is, freeze onto that
which Is freonable. Our advice to Mil
dred is to freeze onto George as long
as he freexes onto anything else.
The only strange feature of this capo i
the utter absence of nervous prostra
tion. Koran American todo Anything or
have anything done to him or her with
out responding with a tit of nervous
prostration, is, to say the least, unpa
triotic. The first luxury an American,
suddenly grown rich, "indulges in is
nervous prostration. Upon ll.o w hole,
it is certain that this vulgar and imper
tinent clamor represents nothing but a
spirit of yellow journalism reflected in
people who have nothing else to discuss.
Aguinaldo has broken all records as n
sprinter and at his present rapid gait will
soon reach tho end of his journey. He
is racing through tho brush and over
the hills, hitting only tho high places,
with a gang of American "imperialists"
hot on his trail. Ha is hatless. coatless,
and his shins 8ro all scratched up from
running through the underbrush. He
has quit estahlishing "capitals" as he
flies through the woods with a tvpe
writer, looking for a place to stop long
enough to work off a proclamation.
The bloodthirsty Americans have cap
tured his "government" and seven bar
rels full of his wife's clothes, besides
his mother and his four-year-old son of
a gun. If George Washington the First
should catch a glimpse of the Filipino
foot-racer ho would scarcely recognise
him as his prototype; and .even the
"aunties" must admit that the resem
blance is not at all striking!

TILLAMOOK'S PLANK KO llOAU.
County ludre Bpitngton furnishes
,' Interesting Information,
We take the following article from tho
Tillamook Headlight, which had lieen
carefully prepared by the county judge
of thHt county. That county owna a
portable sawmill, and the statement De
low denionstatcs the result of one sum
mer's work in road building!
"County Judge Sapptngtim-makes the
followliig"stateimnt )ii regard to the
county sawmill ami plank road.
"Work was commenced at Fawcett
creek during too latter part of April.
Since that time the mill has cut 1,110,240
feet of lumber as follows;
At Fawcett creek ..484,800 feet
At the Inane Moore place :l:t'.'.t!40 feet
At ISIunini's place iStt.StW feet
"The cost of sawing this lumber, in
cluding Uyging, has been $2,128.03, paid
out as follows:
During April $102 1)5
During May 4M3 67
During June 340 55
During Julv......... 27 38
During August. 233 25
During September. . , 463 "4
During October 287 39
Total.... ..$2,1-8 03
'This makes the cost of the lumlier at
the mill a trillo less than $1.02 per thous
and feet.
"The expense of hauling and laying
this lumber, including preparing the
load bed, building trestles and bridges,
has been $1,758.24, paid out as follows;
During May $184 35
During Juiie 273 72
During Julv. 108 85
During August 874 80
During September 300 84
During October 326 68
Total.... $1,753 21
"In this amount is included the cost
of dealing and opening the new road
around Green hill, a distance of 24
miles. This portion of the road was
heavily timbered and required more
than an ordinary amount of hard labor.
Three-quarters of a mile of It was
through a swamp covered w ith a douse
mass of undergrowth, and had to be
trestled the whole distance. In all, over
a mile of trestle was built, besides nine
bridges, ranging from 100 feet to 300 feet
in length.
"The total cost of manufacturing the
plank and laying it on the road was
$3.i0 per-ihousand feet, or about $1.40 a
rod. This includes the work of clearing
the new roitd, hut does not include the
bill for provisions. The latter expense'
is difficult to determine on account of
the items being mixed with other ac
counts, hut it is estimated at about $6 a
dav, which would amount to between
$500 and $600.
"Bills passed upon at the November
term of court include gravel work as
follows:
i)10 yards of gravel.. $ 45 25
Fow'der 20 00
Hauling 620 86
Total ...$0l 11
"This graveling was done under favor
able circumstances, and about as cheaply
and well as it can be done in this county,
and the above figures will furnish a fair
comparison of the cost.
The judge received as nia compensa
tion for services at the mill during the
past seven months $-25.
"These figures are all matters of rec
ord in the county clerk's office, and can
be seen by anyone who is sufficiently in
terested to investigate, while the plank
is laid on the county road and shows for
itself as to quantity, quality and utility.
"Alioiit feven miles of planked road
was built."

County Judoe Sappinotoh, of Tilla
inook county, has demonstrated that
one county in Northwestern Oregon can
build plank roads. His report on the
progress made during the last year in
an effort to get out of the mire, demon
strates that planked roads can be built j and
at not such great expense. About
seven miles of planked road has been
constructed by Judge Sappington at a
total coet not exceeding $5000, and a
great deal of the work done was build
ing numerous bridges, which greatly
increased the cost of construction over
that of the ordinary. If Tillamook never
gets another rod of planked road the
people will have the satisfaction of trav
have been, as you know, at least fairly
successful."
filr. Diller is one of the best known
and shrewtlest business men in that city.
and there is no doubt that be owes con
siderable to the hint given him by
lion. Binger Herman.
Miss Mabel Gilford loved Mr. George
Hand. Out of his presence she was as
sad and pensive as a bull frog ; when
with him her heart flopped about tier
anatomy like a jib sheet in the winds
eye. In her dreams George fitted back
forth like a visionary catoiru.
George, on his side, was just as hard
hit. At thought of Mabel his heart
iiounded his larboard ribs like a row
licking her way through a board shanty.
In her absence he was as disconsolate as
aeick mule. At their last meeting their
heartstrings were as taut as weather
back stays. Every word seemed to
twang discord ; each breath caused the
bow-string of their fancy to vibrate like
loose ciapunani on a winuy nignt.
