The law in regard to apportionment of ecnooi nitids seems to e wutiv in need of a little "fixing." The first Monday In Jnnuary, April, July and October are the dates when the law specifies that apportionment of school funds must be made. Superintendent Coneland, then, is guilty of procrnstination in his oHiciul duties. Ho niado no apportionment on the first Monday In January. His reason for not doing so was probably because tho amount of money in the hands of the cohnty treasurer subject to apportionment was U. A law which says the superintendent nuiBt when he can't ought to have something done to it. Tho Oregon wido-tiro wugon law is jiow in force. Tlio law provides that the county court of oacn county is authorized to make a rebato annually lor four years, on tho road tax of each person within Its county who shall own and have in habitual use on the high ways, wagons or other vehicles for tho transportation of heavy articles, tho tires of which are not leas than throe inches In width, of $1 for each wheel of Btich vehicle.

Tho work Is revised lo dute. and modern in every particular. The members of tho county court were unable to dispose ol all the bui noKS before them lust week. Pence an adjournment was taken on Kuturtay afternoon until 1 o'clock Monday after noon, when the board again took up the solution or the many perplexing prop' iems. The work was diligently prose' cutnd until tho calendar was clear which occupied the time up to Thins duy afternoon of this week. Mr. Norman Merrill was up from ialskamo last Friday, Iu answer to tho question of what was new ut Wats knuio, Mr. Merrill slated that p roc poets were good for tho commencement at once of the government work of straitrlit oning the Clatskanie river. Mr. Merrill Is ol the opinion that great benefit to mo commercial Interests of that portion of the county will result from the straightening of the Clatskunie river The continuation of warm weather is aiiHiiiur Homo concern amomr those per sons who see bad results in ull kinds of meteiirologicul conditions. However, houtd tho warm wave continue very inch longer, thero vill be great danger to iruit I roiu titer cold blasts in march and April. Fruit buds in many sections are reitorUid as lieing nearly ready to burst into full bloom. Indeed, there has not been sulllcieut frost to kill the leaves ou some of tho peach trees in litis town, one tree in particular having the heavy foliage which it bore all summer long. Hoses are still blooming iu the yurds in tins town, and save for the muddy condition of the roads and a lew other evidences of the winter season, it would be difficult to define the (Idler enco between January weather and that ot August; and certainly not ly tern peraturc of the atmosphere. Tlio best way to build up a town is to stand by all the men iu tho place who are trying to do right and snow a public tendency to promote the business and financial interests in the town, snys an exchange. Whenever a man is doing well do not try to tear him down if Ins business Is respectable and legal. All residents should I partners for the best interests of the community and not opponents. Kvery business man who treats his customer honestly, cour teously and fairly will get his share, and tho more business that can bo secured by united clfort tho belter it will bo for ull. When a town ceases to grow it begins to die and the more people try to kill each other in business tho more rapidly will utter ruin come to all. Stand together for the advancement of every deserving citizen. If a man shows ability to prosper, do nut pull him bock through jealousy, or weight him down through cold inditteronee, There were very fow changes made in the bonndarirs of voting precincts, in tho readjustment process which occu pied much of the time of the court at the last session. All of section 31 and all of section 82, except the northeast quarter, tow nspip 7 north, range 3 west, and all of sections 5 and 0, and tho west one-half of tlio west hull, except the north forty acres of section 4. township 0 north, range 3 west, were taken from Apiary precnict Mid placed in Clats kanie precinct. A portion of section zo, township 7 north, range 3 west, was taken from liainicr precinct and placed in Apiary precinct. Warren precinct, which was taken from Union precinct, is three miles wide, north and Bouth and about thirteen miles long, extend ing iroui tno Columbia river to Annum precinct. Hie line leaves tlio W, h. Stevens place in Warren precinct, und tne old Harris place in union precinct. tieaver ions precinct was enlarged a very little bit by the addition of a small strip of land on the north. The road district proposition is finally settled. The creation of one new poll ing precinct in the county, that of War ren, was made with but little discussion, but when it came to road districts there seemed a wide diderenco of opinion. and tho board "took a sleep" over tho mutter. It was the, desiro of tho ma jority of the board to have but one road district iu each voting precinct, but some of the precincts contained so much of territory that it would seem a big undertaking for one man to look after all tho roads In the district. It wag fi mil i v agreed to make two road districts in Nohnlent precinct, also in Auburn precinct. Heretofore there have been thirty-two roud districts in tlio county, where now there are but fifteen districts. The western part of Nehalem precinct, a strip of land three miles wide, to the south lines of sections 10. 20 and 21, township 6 north, rango 6 west, when the line is extended ono mile further east, comprising sections 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, and 10, of township 6 north, rango 6 west, to be known as rond district No. 12, tlio four latter sec tions being taken from Auburn precinct. The remaining part of Nchuloin pre cinct shall bo known as road district No. lii. lhere are also two road districts in Auburn precinct, boing divided on the lino east and west between townships 4 and 5, except to within tlio last three miles on the west, when the road dis trict line extends one mile south. The northern portion of the precinct shall bo known as district No. 14, and the southern portion shall be known as district No. 15. Fishhawk is In district No. 12, Mist in district No. 13, Pittsburg in district No, 14, und Vernonia iu dis trict No, 15. NOT HUNTING A HOW. To Tub Kbitoii.

The crowd uto well, whether they slept well afterward has not been made known, lhey disappeared from the hall in good humor, declaring they had a good time. Lodgo socials have been in order lately. The Modern Woodmen enjoyed what they called a "smoker" on Satur day night, the SOth. A number of friends were invited in, and to say the air in Convert' hall was blue with smoke, would not pot it too strong. Good fellowship, good nutured conversa tion, and impromptu speeches were en joyed and applauded. Those who did not smoke were treated to light refresh ments with the compliments of the men who wear the small axe. A festive evening was spent. On Saturday evening, the K. O. T.

Very generous provision was made for all present, thouirh a suc cession of sittingH at the tables was necessary before all were fed. The vis iting deputy made a little speech boom ing the order, and Miss Mabel Blackford gave an excellent recitation as part of the entertainment for the evening. NOW POK BETTEB ItOADS. If vou are in need of some nice, ud- to-date stationery it will pay you to leave orders at this otlice. Opportunities for Acquiring Them are Widening. An era of greater progress for Colum bia county is undoubtedly on the verge of opening up. The initial step was taken this week when the county court ueciued to levy a tax lor road improve ment purposes, an action which has long been contemplated, but which has been prevented by tho existence of an enormous public debt, the liquidation of which must urst nave been cured for before any considerable undertaking in the way of public improvement could be embarked in. The launching has been successful, so let us now individually and collectively lend our aid to a successful voyage until the harbor of nood rouds is reached and we are safely anchored in the secur ity oi permanently unproved and at all times passable highways. lue question ol good roads is second to none In importance to every resident of this county. That good roads huve a money value lo the people of the county win oe grantea by an. inttfc tne money value of improved roads is suflicient to lustily the cost ol their construction will be admitted by many, questioned by outers ana uenieu by a lew. in view ol the financial and many oilier advantages oi good roods a major ity of the people of this county would doubtless favor their construction as rapidly as practicable under some ef- ncieni, economical ana equitable system of highway improvement. But there are some who seeui to have little know! edge or appreciation of the benefits of good roads, and who. therefore, obiect on account oi the cost ot highway iu proyeiiieut. rnese persons regard with distrust and lisfuvor measures lor hivhwav imnrove- ineut; and they are likely to oppose the efforts for the improvement of our roads unless they can first be convinced that good roads will prove a paying financial investment. Speaking, therefore, in be- nuit ot those, who, lor any reason are not inliuenced by the higher considers- tions iu fuvor of improved roads, the question naturally arises: Will it pay us in dollars and cents to improve tbe public roads? Before attempting to ans wer this question, let us consider in what ways permanently good roads will prove financially beneficial to us. All win agree, we believe, that a good road will economize time and force in transportation between the farm and uiamct. Reduce wear on horses, wagons and vehicles. Increase the market value of real es tate. Improved roads bring better prices for farms and farm products: double jiuIh cheapen transportation. Can market over good roads when commodities are scarce. Rural homes are more sought afler long good roads. Wa"oii highways are the cheapest art eries oi commerce. Civilization is to lie judged by tbe condition of the highways. wood roads in the end will not cost as much money outlay as poor ones. No tux is as greut as one of poor roads. A bad road is a heavy tax on those who use it, and tho worse the road the heavier the tax. Bad roads cause a decay of agriculture. they impose the greatest of all burdens on the farmer. In view of these and various other ar guments that might be offered in favor I good roads as against bad ones, we are led to believe thai it would lie bet ter for all classes to have our roads per manently improved, and we believe from a financial standpoint, it would cost less to build permanent roads than o be continually repairing the ordinary irt road. In support of the last statement, we submit a few figures that we think are convincing: It is estimated that permanently im proved highways would enhance the alue ot reul estate lrom o to f 10 an acre. The probable cost of convertine our dirt roads into permanent highways would be (750 per mile, while the yearly outlay for repairing a modern dirt road s ?oo per nine, wuu our roaus almost in passible nine months of the year, at that outlay. If tha foregoing statements are a near approach to the truth, it follows that the losses and expenditures which far mers actually incur on account of poor roads would also secure permanently good roads. Jan any sound mind doubt the wis- om of exchanging tho losses, delays. accidents and vexations of spirit, occa-i sioned by bad roads tor the comfort and ther advantages of good roads, when tne cost is tne same. We are aware that some persons will not accept the estimates that improved gnways nave auy appreciable money alue. However, we are glad to know nit these same people favor eood roads tor the same reason that they would build for themselves comfortable and even luxurious homes. ELECTION UOAAD8.
