THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1901.
Tammany is' paid to be very
angry over Josiah Flint'8 revela
tions in regard to the dishonesty of
its New York govermcnt. Yet
.there's nothing new about this.
Aguinaldo has pained his anti-
imperialistic friends, who strive in
vain, to imagine his prototype,
George Washington, advising the
colonies to surrender as soon as
hi was caught.
The circulation of the Commoner
iti the east has fallen to nothing.
Every book store has piles of un
sold copies; but few take the
"trouble to order new ones. So with
aill freak publications.
Southern democrats declare that
the next nomination must come
east though they are willing to take
a middle west man in the second
place. Still when the candidate,
whoever he may be, will be so soon
done for, it seems a question what
he is to be begun for.
Possibly Aguinaldo's capture
was of little value and could have
1een accomplished by anybody, as
General Corbin says. Yet the
government evidently thinks it of
great importance, and, as Colum
bus once said, anybody can stand
an egg on end if one knows how.
Another term of County Court
will soon be in session and it will
have the problem of county bridges
to solve. It is an ever recuring one
and one in which the whole coun
try is interested. The nature of the
mountain streams of this county
is tuch as to render any but the
liet work wholly useless. What
. bridge are put in should te Lu'lt
in the best possible manner, re
gardless of cost, as the money spent
on good bridges is not thrown away
and will not have to be expended
every year. Whereas if a bridge
is not constructed properly it is
very liKeiy, to ue washed out by
the first freshet that comes and
then will have to be rebuilt mak
ing the bridges a constant drain on
the resources of the county. Our
county judge has progressive ideas
on this subject and we believe the
Commissiners will second him in
ihe matter of good bridges. Yet
there are always a numler of
g'umblers who will kick at the ex
penditure of public funds no matter
for what purpote they used. It
is well and good that the people
look well to the interest of the
fiunty and state in such cases, but
th -y should be liberal when it
comes to a matter of so great im
portance as county bridges. The
work should, and we believe will,
be i laced in thehandsof competent
individuals in order that no useless
expenditures be made. All such
matters will be let by contract and
the Court should examine the
work thoroughly before accepting.
The past winter and spring have
been very bad on the bridges and
a large number of them have been
washed out, necessitating an un
vsunlly large expense on the coun
ty, but don't let us do as a sister
county has done build a free bridge
an I then make it a toll bridge in
iidcr to keep it in repair-. 1
Some men mako their way
through life tt tliey do through a
crowd by hanging to the coat
tails of some bigger man.
Daring the next few weeks
many people will arrive in the
camp looking for claims and they
will be no respecters of person
owning claims which are open to
location from neglect. If your
claim needs work on it and you
want to hold it, go to work. Ash
wood Prospector.
In commenting on an extract, j
in our columns from tho Salem i
Journal, Judge Wills stated that
the law regarding the poll tax;
would be considered constitutional j
until proven otherwise and that all
supervisors will bo required to col-1
lect the lull amount of three
dollars.
This trust question will solve it-j
self sooner or later. When the pre-
sent consolidation mania has gone j
so far as to organize the universal j
trust and few can doubt that it;
will go that lar in thno who ques-j
tions that the people will simply
confiscate the whole thing and run
it as a co-operative company?
The report comes from Boise that
an Oregon editor almost drowned
while taking a bath in the Natato
rium at that place recently. This
should serve as an awful warning
to all Oregon editors when they go
away from home not to fool around
water but to stick to something.
they are used to cocktails for in
stance. As to bathing, it may le
all right for people who are accus
tomed to it but the uninitiated had
better let the new fad alone.
Condon Globe.
A Timely Wanting.
It has corre to our ' notice that
some persons have been violating
the game laws of the state with
references to the taking of trout
from neighboring streams by other
means than those prescribed by
statute. A note to the game war-.
den, if the practice of using traps,
nets, gunny sacks, etc., is; persisted
in, will doubtless have the effect
of convincing some people that the
game law of the state is not by any
means a dead letter. The trout is
propably the most beautiful fresh
water fish on earth, and while it is
also valuable as a food fi. h, this
fact does not justify its wholesale
extinction. The legislatures of the
various states have done their best
1 1 prevent the fish from dying out
and it is a shame that open viola
tions of hese protective measures
should occur. Everyone is more
or less fond of fishing. But if you
want the trout, by all means get a
piece of string and a hook, and go
about it in a legimate manner.
Shaniko Leader.
No doubt of it.
Hon. II. W. Corbeth who was
a candidate for the United States
senate, declares that on the first
day of next January he will start
in and n ake a fight for the election
at the next session of the legisla
ture. He will see that clubs are
organized in every county in the
state, and he proposes to make a
hard fight and commence early.
H:g friend, Joseph Simon's term
will expire at that time. Mr. Sim
tn will also make a fight, and with
a lew dark horses in the field the
next session of the legislature pro
mises to be more tropical than the
last. Oregon Mist.
Yes they will nv.ke a fight but
we predict it will end about like
the last one made by Uncle Henry
peace to his ashes. What a pity
our legislative assembles cannot
rise to somethin higher than to beg
the butt of every josher in thocoun-try.
New Quarters.
We have purchased the V. Bolton & Co. store building, and will move same to our own
property, where our former store stood. It is our intention to be installed and ready for busi
ness in our new homo by May 1.
We desired very much to erect our own building, but our trade would not allow the time it
would requiro without inconveniencing our customers. Tho Bolton utoro will answer our ro
quirements until such a time as we can enlarge the samo.
