The Building Season

the cost down as low as pos­
sible. We have a large and
select line of
Builders* Hardware
and are satisfied that we can
save you money on anything
in our line. Call and see.
A horse show is advertised to take
place in Htsyt«)ii Hat unlay, March 30,
and a cordial invitation is extended to
every!«)dy to attend, and if you have
any good horses or colts, bring them
with you.
A large number of fine horses will
l»e exhibited— and Htayton and vicinity
has some of the best in the state. A
grand parade of animals will lake
pla«-e at one o’clock. There is nocharge
for exhibiting horses in the parade.
It ia expected that this will be the
first of many horse shows to lie held
here. Next year it is the intention to
give prizes for horses and colts of all
classes.
Oregon is getting to the front rank
in the horse busiueas and the prices
that are now being paid for horses
proves that there is money to be made
in raising good stoek.
Come to Htayton March 30th, and
if you have a horse, mare or colt you
care to show, bring it along.

A COMMON OPINION.
W A T E R WORKS.
W e are naked, naan Independent
Republican newspaper, to give our
«»pinion of the recent legislature of
Oregon. The legisliiture wanted too
much time in the lieginning and then
had not sufficient time to give to * lie
consideration of meritorious hills. To«)
much time was also wasted in the en-
«leavor to circumvent the governor,
undoubtedly representing the people,
even if he was playing p«>litica, as
claimed, and the legislature in many
respects not representing the p«*ople
and in one, at least, slapping the
people in the face. The governor proved
that he stood on constitutional and
economical ground and put the legis­
lature in a deep hole, from which it ia
trying to but cannot very well crawl
out without the aaaialance of a rope,
which the general public seems to be
very unwilling to provide. In a com­
paratively few instances the legislature
accomplished some good, but in many
features it was a miserable failure, one
cloae observor considering it a silly
iKxly. The people naturally feel that
the legislature has been to extravagant
and are thankful that we had an ex­
ecutive who knew how and when to
use the veto ax and was not afraid to
wield it. It was plainly discernible
that throughout the legislative session
the normal Mtmol combine was the
dictatorial power and on this account
the people wert not faithfully or fully
served. A number of good bills were
killed, and the tenets gave unmistak­
able evidence that it was there for the
benefit of the rieh. — Woodburn Inde­
pendent.
T o bond, nr not to tiond, that is the
question? and the |>eople will be al
lowed to settle it by their vote soon if
the plans of the council are carrie«)
out. A t their last meeting an ordin­
ance was passed calling for an elec­
tion for that pnr|>oae.
The ordin
ance asks that power he granted the
council t«> lx>n«l the town for 110,000,
but does not stale for what purpose
the money is wanted. Of course it is
generally understood that the funds
are desired for water works, but the
ordinance should make the matter
plain. It seems to he the general
opinion that a proposition to l>ond the
town for the sum asked by the council
will be voted down, as Htayton is yet
too small to be saddled with a f 10,000
debt.
There are many of our citixens who
in favor of water works, and also of
issuing bonds, but think the council
hasty in the matter ol calling an elec­
tion for that purpose before ascertain­
ing and placing before the people the
approximate cost of the system they
propose to purchase, the amount uf
territory they propose to cover with
water mains, and also an estimate of
the revenue that may be expected from
the sale of water

Rev. J. H. Fowler made a pleasant
call on the High school. A t the close
of the business spelling lesson, the
principal, Miss Cornelius, asked him
to pronounce a word to the class. H e
gave the word cygnet, which means a
small goat. They all tried and it waa
spelled correctly by Etta Gentry. This
same word was given to a class of sev­
eral hundred in the State of Nebraska,
at the Wesleyan University at a grand
reception there. Rev. Fowler was in
the match and he said that more than
250 of them went down on the word.
The High school feels justly proud
that the word was spelled by one of its
uumber.
