NEXT DOOR TO POST OFFICE
A FAIB PROPOSITION.
Proposed esmlth Conntj Merits Snp.
port of Voters.
The people, of Southern Lane and
Northern Douglas counties, numbering
more than eight thousand souls, feel
ing that they are qualified to econo
mically administer their own affairs
from a government standpoint, have
intitiated a bill for the creation of a
new county to be known as Nesmith,
in honor of James Willis Nesmith,
a pioneer wWe name shines in the
firmament of industrious' Oregonlans.
The proposed county . would contain
1,940 Bquare miles of .which.'. 1,472
would come from Land and 4C8 from
Douglas J.eavlng the farmer 2,908
-m"c aiiieu, a suntclent area from
which to still form, several counties
the size of Multnomah, Hood River,
Columbia and "Washington. The total
assessed valuation of Nesmith county
would be $o,S09,S75, leaving Lane f J8,.
000,000 and Douglas over $27,000,000
The country within the proposed new
county is capable of maintaining an
organization that would,' w& believe,
b to the best Interests of the people
embraced within the territory end at
the same time not deprive any o'ther
people affected" of their rights, nor
increase their burdens, nor work them
any injury Whatsoever. i ';
Owing to the large area or the two
old, counties affected 'many residents
are put to great inconvenience, delay
and expense in transacting ' business
at the county seats. To 'comnel resi
dent to travel from twenty' td sixty
miles over bad roads in-order to pay
their taxes, serve on Juries, r as witi
nesses, is to' inflict a hardlhip upon
COL. JAMES WILLIS NESMITH.
Illustrious Oregonian whose name the
proposed county would perpetuate.
them; .yea it is more a matter of self
government for which the progressive
people of this proposed county are
contending. Taxation and representa
tion should go hand in hand, but not
so under present conditions. For in
stance, Cottage Grove, the second city
in size and Importance in Lane coun
ty, has never been permitted to name
a county judge, and it has been - a
quarter of a century since it had rep
resentation on the county board of
commissioners; while the territory
taken from Douglas county has never
had either a county Judge or commis
sioner. The representatives in the
state legislature are from the county
seats Eugene and Roseburg thus
leaving a large tax contributing com
munity without voice in either local
or state affairs. Ninety-two per cent
of the ' residents within the proposed
Nesmith county signed the petition,
praying the voters of Oregon to grant
them self-government by the creation
of a new county, w hile one particular
section Immediately outside the ori
ginal bouhdar, fine petitioned the
Nesmith county, preferring to take
chances with the new rather than to
remain with the old. This shows con
clusively that, the sentiment of the
taxpayers of the proposed new county
unanimous in favor
. The boundary lines of Nesmith have
been drawn in strict adherence to the
topography of the country, its nat
ural watersheds having been consid
ered in every particular. The people
the new county have no desire to
do anything that would result detri
mentally to either of the old counties.
Jointly Lane and Douglas have 5,
800,000 acres, or more than the entire
Willamette -valley, and of this vast
area, only a million and a quarter
are asked by the new county.
Tte people within the territory of
proposed Nesmith county are present
ing their case to the voters of the
state without thjB slightest misrepre
sentation, pinning their faith in the
voters to support their contention that
local self-government is the Ideal
form of government; that the nearer
home government is cheaper; that
laws are more effctually enforced;
hat greater development of country
is possible; that better'highways are
attainable; that its citizens are con
venienced by nearness to the seat of
government; that taxation and repres
entation Should go hand in hand, and
that by the creation of Nesmith coun
ty the efforts of a large and progres
Blxe community would be rendered
more effective in 'increasing popula
tion, developing the resources" .and
enhancing the greatness of Oregon.

LOCALS LOSE FAST CONTEST
(Continued from Page Three.)
Grout' and they stood up well under
the strain.
Dresser, left end, Gowan, offensive
quarter, and Newman tackle, JIcGee,
half back, were the four men with the
visitors who did most of the work.
Dresser and Gowan especially are
clever men. But what is most im
portant, the entire squad ; is .clean,
true sportsmen who think more of
dodging a player than of slugging him
when the opportunity presents itself.
Few Injuries.
On,e man, Ross, right tackle for
Caldwell, sustained an injury and had
to be removed, Rice taking his place.
A small bone in his leg was fractur
ed in some way.
, Officials of the game were: Reynolds
O. A. C, referee; Dobbins, O. A. C.,'
umpire; King, field Judge, and Ingals,
head linesman.
Napoleon and Woman.
Napoleon I., who was a great ad
mirer of female talent when its owner
did not, like Mme. de Stael, direct it
against himself, used to say, "There
are women who have only one fault
viz, that they are not'men."
Mn and Woman
tPnem t man gets lntt trouble the
first thing he thinks of is. "How ahn
I get out of this fix?" When a woman
gets into trouble her first thought is,
-now snau 1 uest bear this misery?"
