This is leap year, you know. Til r West SlDK l'utdislanj; Com pany hereby acknowledges valuable assistance rendered in getting out this Issue of the. paper by Hon. Stephen Slants, J. T. Ford, city recorder, Henry Clodfelter, and others. Wb have expended more money in the five months we have owned tho West Side for its improve nient, and in the interest of this whole county, than any other paper ever did in twelve mouths in this county. We started in to make a paper for the people, and we Uiink very strongly of succeeding. he That man "Skimmer" of the Did las OAwrtrr ought to have a chroino, for being able to weave a statement out of whole cloth that is wholly untrue in every part. "Skimmer's' "good authority" simply does not exist. We must have wounded the bird, the way it flutters. Our wrongs, auyway, would not atone for "Skimmer's faults. What "Skimmer'' says of the last grand iurv or rolk county Is not very re liable. It isso easy for "Skimmer' to shout from ambush, or "pw around tbe corner" and fire into his neighbors. It is quite likely that "Skimmer's real name begins with an S. "Skimmer" say that "will talk," and so he does talk about bis neighbors, and "behind their backs" at that. ua pa ck os ms ha chv How often yon have heard the alwve heading spoken in reference to some successful man. who has worked his way up by inches, until he is now master of the situation Our attention has been especially called to this expression by a receni article in the Oregoniun, taken from an exchange, which said that "fif teen vears aco Prof. . I. II. Horner came into Corvallis with 'a pack on hisback' without education, agrecn gawkish lioy." lint he went work choring and janitoring and to school, and thus by strict at ten. tion to all kinds of business en trusted to him,and by a rigid appli cation to his books and by giving hoed to the tenets of the moral law and observing the same, he ha risen to the proud and enviable position of, at this time, filling an important chair in tho Slate Agri cultural College, at Corvallis. 'V liack on a man's back" is a thou- Band fold surer passport to success, than gold and rubies, or a famous ancestry. Strange but true that gold always has a deteriorating effect upon children, A famous ancestry, begets in the minds of the young men or women a distrust ol themselves, and a reliance for sue cess upon the fame of their an cestors. Know me a young man with "a pack on his back," good health, average good mind, not necessarily a genius, and strict ob server of good morals, add to these an indomitable push and energy. and all the powers of the Devil cannot keep him away from a happy success. The really successful men in Oregon to-day,in point of wealth, letters, jurisprudence, theology and all else, caino here with "packs on their backs." 2fo rich young man has ever come here and succeeded The man that makes a million is always industrious and persevering until the day of his death, while his wealth damns his own offspring jn thousands of instances. What is the conclusionf Well,a man is a fool that will attempt to get great wealth which he knows will be a detriment to himself and family. The prayer of Agur was about right: "Give me neither poverty nor rU'hetj," Yes, "a pack on a man's buck" ia by no menus a disgrace, ami no teusl bio ptieeeswful inau will ever 'de spise the day of small things.

J. li. Sf. IlF.t.1. Following is the reply sent this paper by Messrs Daly, Sibly Eakiu: D iuah, Poi.k Our NT Y, Ok., ) January . l'.i- I HVirf SUIt I'Hblinhiiuf ( Wixisy, In itptmiltntrt Oiwoa tiKNTft: Your favor was received the "id iimt, in answer iwrmit us tostaUj t hat under tiio law or our state, wmcii any man whocau read should understand, there is a vaeaucy in the lioard of comity comiuiasionera for this county that should and ought to he tilled immediately. On page ll'.i'.i 11 Hill's tMle, utider the head of Vac inch, tho following sect ion is the law; "Sec JSMt. Kvery offlee shall tHHHmo vawuit on tho occur ring of either of the following eveuts U'fore the expiration of the term of stub oflleo ana suWItvisloii 4 of said section makm the following reason a vacancy: His censing to ta au inhiibitaiil of tho district, county, town, or village, for which he shall have ln eleetwl or p KiiutHl or within which the dutiea onus olliee arc rtHiuireu w w uis chargHl. Now as every fit Ueu of Polk eouuty is aware, u. V, Mc.ticnch, Kso,., has for tlm or four months past In-eii a resident ol Marion iHuuty, and had no act or part in performing the dut ies of the ollice to which he was eltH'twt It is a piineiple of law us old almottt as the law itxelf, that although nu ofliwr may die either naturally or by removal from olllee Uuviigli some course ouier uian ueaui, yei the oflice never dies, and section 2150, page 1111. 11 Hill's Code, directs the manner iu w hich the oflice shall be tilled, as follows: "If a vacancy shall happeu in the oflice of county treasurer, county assessor, county surveyor, or commissioner ofthe eouuty court,tho county court of such county must appoint some suitable person to till such vacancy, who shall hold such oftlco until the next general election thereafter, and until his successor is elected and qualified. A person appointed to (ill a vacancy iu either ol the onices mentioned iu this section, before entering umm such olllee, mu.st qualify therefor as in the case of a person elected to such ollicc." The fact that grave questions will prob ably arise regarding the act ions of the state board of equalization hi ninny instances raising nod others lowering the assessment or the county taards, makes it, in our minds, a duty ofthe county court of Polk eouuty to be fully equipped for business, so that Polk county would not suffer on nceouut of a lack of an official head, to wit, the three members composing the county board. Tho law is plain show ing a vacancy iu the board and is equally plain directing how it shall be filled. IJespeetfully yours, Daly, Siiii.y & Kakin. A DEMOCRATIC VI.
