HIGH PRAISE
Last Sunday's Oregonian has a
column writeup of the road work
being dne in Columbia County.
It starts with the paragraph:
"Columbia County has the
most progressive County Com
missioner? in the State in the
matter of good roads."
taxpayers, I doubt the advisability of
bringing up very small things when
the desire of the court it to benetit the
greatest number. The grade iu District
No. 13 is perfectly satisfactory to roe
and I believs to the majority of the
taxpayers.
W. K.TICHKNOR. Commissioner,
We print above in full a recent letter
from Wm. M. Rose and the aniwer
from W. K. Tichenor. We are alwan
pleased to publish communication of
thli kind when signed by reliable people
such a Mr. Rose, and we think that
Mr. Rote will be iatified from Mr
Tichenor'i aniwer that the court hat
taken every care to get full value for the
tax payers on the road work under coo
ttrnction. It is a good idea however, to
clear such matter up, and the Mist will
aid any time poaafble.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL
County Official
Paper
THE MANAGING
COMMUTE
Dr. Emmet Drake, of Portland,
has been selected by the Manag
ing Committee of the Multnomah
County Central Committee as
their candidate for the office of
joint Senator for Multnomah, Co
lumbia and Clackamas County,
to take the place of Louis G.
Clarke, who was wise enough to
decline the empty honor. None of
the members of the Managing
Committee from Columbia or
Clackamas counties were present,
but it was understood that they
will acquiesce in the works of the
Portland bosses especially as it
would do them r.o good to kick.
The Managing Committee is an
outgrowth of the Portland As
sembly and ha3 just as much
right as that body had to speak
for the Republican voters of Co
lombia County and that is none
at all. This particular Drake will
be duck soup for Dan Malarkey,
the An Li-Assembly
JNo. 1 candidate for the joint
senatorship. Dr. Drake has the
advantage of Malarkey in one
point only, and that is that his
name, in alphabetical order, will
come first on the Australian
ballot, but when the votes are
counted he will be down in the
x y z class.

says;
"I have never seen such an
energetic body of men at work
on road making. All seem to
have the interest of the county
at heart and work faithfully all
the time. Eight hours constitute
a day's work, but during those
hours the men work like beavers.
That is how we found both the
county officials and men all work
ing for betterment of the roads."
AH of which is true and
mighty good advertising.

three candidates for the nomi

will win, but if it can be centered
