How ever there are those very patri ic citizens in Oregon who have ken upon themselves the self mposed duty of defending these ws in such manner as to do a Jat deal more harm than good jor the cause. For instance, there is one H. J.

He seta up that every member of the legislature from Lane Court ty is a crook and dishonest be- I cause they voted for some cer tain bill that Parkinson did not want, as he says, just for the pur. pose of securing votes for the University appropriations. Of course the same reasoning would apply to the other member who voted for bills which the great sacred popular laws, in circu lating his petitions for this same referendum, secured to many hundreds of fraudulent names to his petitions that the court was romnollpd to throw it all out. iudee or every man s motive on every puplic question and if the vote does not suit him, the voter is a crook and is an enemy of the popular laws. If there wa any danger or likelihood that the initi ative and referendum, the uirect primary or the recall were to be attacked with any chance of avoiding them, just such fellows as Parkinson and hia fool letters would be a great assistance to the attack. The action of the Portland offi cers in substituting brick for stone in the pavement of a numb er of atreets in that city is quite a set back to St. Helens rock men for the time being. Mr. Monta gue of theSL Helens Quarry Co. received the contract and it was estimated that 900,000 paving blocks would be used to complete the works.

Experts claim that stone will out last the brick at least I times, so that with the small dilTort nee in the cost it certainly appears that somebody has made a mistake. It is certain that a mistake has been made so far as St. Hel ens is concerned, as under a stone contract the blocks would have been made here while with brick we do not get any benefits. However if Portland dont want our stone we may do some street paving ourselves some of these davs and show them.
