county warrants have been Issued draw

lie poor policy to pay seven, or even tlx
per cent on several thousand dollars'
worth ot outstanding warrants, when
bonds bearing live, or niavbe (our 'per

county out ot debt In two or lour years
would cause too high a rate ot taxation,
besides we have the running expenses
to look alter. Therefore steps should
tie provided to reduce Interest charges
and provide sinking lund. And then
the county ought to be so managed that
by the time the ImuuIs mature It will be
out o( debt. Other Oregon counties sre

the Santa Fe system, to secure similar
concessions made to the Santa Fe opera

winter, for 25 cents. It is dow found
that the four-red-fuoted animal with a
pedigree as long ua Oregon timothy or
the Mississippi river, tastes no better
when fricasaed or roasted than the pie
