MR. SHALLOW
DISCOURAGED
Says He Is Unable to Secure
Road Improvements. -
BIG INCREASE m TAXES
Why Not Do Some Mission
ary Work at Heme Before
Going: Too Far to
Foreign Fields?
MALPE LANE, Jan. 17. (Editor
of The Courier. ) I notice iu last
week's Courier this item which ap
peals in the statement ot foude needed
by the court: " For advertising the
county's resources, $500." The
thought came to me, why not do some
lioruo missionary work before going
too far to foreign fields?
Qnite recently residents, voters, tax
payers, home-makers and property
Improvers have tried to ha?e the
count help rebnild a bridge across
Newell Creek, so that wo could use
our county road, which brings us
within about two miles.of the county
courthouse. We have been pretty goon
and obedient out here, iiave stayed
at home and sawed wood and tried to
look pleasant.when we travelled three
or lour miles out or our way to get
to the courthouse to pay our taxes,
and tlieu be told each year that they
wre a little higher. Neither have
we kicked or howled very much when
the county officers have had to have
more ulerks and more money for the
Lewis and Clark exhibits, etc. Yet
when we ask for a little help on our
road we are Bmilingly told, "This sec
tion was never intended for humans
to travel over only wild animals."
Well, may be so. We have not seen
thi sheriff or assessor out here lately,
but HUW do they manage, to raise
our taxes every year and turn it up
another notch if we paint our house,
build a fenoe or set out a fw trees. .
Hat there is a limit even to what
the reilgionsly inclined can stand,
and something is likely to snap after
awhile.
In my own case I have been here
over twelve yoars, have built a house,
Improved my place and tried to make
an attractive home ; have been called
out on other roans several times to,
work my road tax, while the county
dim a supervisor with team work ouj
our roaa a pari or one any witnin me
twelve years, yet my taxes are more
than three times as niuoh as they were
in 1804, when our road was open, let
ting tis into town within half the
distance we have to travel now.
Although I have managed to live
without asking aid since being in tiie
county, I want to give a note of warn
ing : If my place guts into the
county's hands lor taxes cr otherwise,
I fuel confident that the profits from
that source will not burden the
county treasurer's sate to any alarm
ing extent. However, I will make
this offer to the county, or to any of
the n ni OHtace shnrpors who are look
ing l'or a snap. I will give my place
to anyone who will pay me a reasona
ble fair amount for my time aud im
provements. ,
I believe the county should euoour
ago in all ways permanent homo-makers
to a. much greater extent than
speculators. Thus, it seemed to me,
perhaps advertising uounty resources
on a rosy pioture-sheot is a little more
foreign than improving roads or even
spurting nil experimental plot of fruit,
berries, grasses, etc., that intruding
Bottlers could seo with their own eyes
what the county would produce, aud
also that present Bottlers might learu
Of butter varieties aud better methods.

help, as the originator of ' the pres
ent mode of worsing the county reads,
although at that time opposed by
nearly the whole county, you alt know
my position on the question cf good
roads. I consider them ot more im
prrtanoe to the rural population than
any one thiup.
As to the second pint. I believe
and I think you will agree with me,
that the farmer pays mor. taxes ac
cording ta hi.: income than the . 'arge
corporations ana as long as our tax
laws are in the present shape, this is
an evil difficult to remedy. But I
promise that ser far as I am able under
the present coudi ions, this shall be
remedied.
As to the administration of county
affairs in an economical way, my
record as county commissioner for'six
years is weil known to you and I am
not ashamed to ask you for your ' sup
port on ttiat record.
I know I will have a hard fight ' to
win the noraina'ion and hope my
friends throughout the county will
rally to my support and do all they
can to help roe. '
Respectfull Yours.

The Grip.
"Before We can sympathize with
others we must have, suffered our
selves. " No one can realize the
suffering attendant upon an attack-of
the grip, unless he has had the actual
experience. There is probably no dis
ease that causes so much physical and
mental agony, or whioh so sucoessfuly
dofles medical aid. All danger from
the grip, however, may be avoided by
the prompt use of . Chamberiain's
Cough Remedy. Among the tens of
thousands who have uesd this remedy,
not one case' hs 'ever been reported
that has resulted in pneumonia or that
has not recovered. For sale by Hunt

Dangers of a Cold and How to Avoid Them
More fatalities have their origin in
or result from a oold thau from any
other cause. This fact alone should
inalio people more careful as there is
no danger whatever from a cold-1 wheu
it is properly treated in the begin
ning. For mauy years Chatuberaiu's
Cough Remedy has been reooguized
as the most prompt aud effectual med
icine iu use for this disease. It acts
on nature's plan, loosens the cough,
relieves the lungs, opens, the secre
tions and aids nature in restoring the
system to a healthy condition. Sold by

n MOLALLA, Or., San. 7. This line
has been talked of ever since the or
ganization of the Mutual Telephone
Association here two years ago. At
three different meetings of the Asso
ciation last year it wa dedded to
build this metallic ciicoit to Oregon
City, mutually, prov ded Beaver
Creek Association did its si are, also
mutually. Beaver Creek, Cams, Ma
lino and Liberal got right in when
Molalla gave the signal and demon
strated the fact that things ot seem
ingly gigantic proportions can be ac
complished mutually, by pulling to
gether. Whenever a person sets his
hand and subscribes his name to triie
membership roll of an association of
people for the purpose of performing
a partnership undertaking, every such
member is in honor bound to abide
by t lie decibion of a two-thirds "ma
jority rule," and has not yet learned
the first prin ipl s of co-operation if he
insists to rule on the line of his indi
vi ual ideas, 'and should in justice to
himself, widen out on his views, "or
quietly withdraw from the undertak
ing he is trying to burdeu. "Bear ye
one another's burdens," may be very
applicable, but not all members have
the . earing quality to Bhoulder their
own load and carry part or all of an
other's duties. A member that chooses
to sit and sit still, aud not move, with
the association's wheols of progress,
delights ery much in "sitting in his
own light" while he tall s on the
principle" or being driven to move
on a little from the position that he
occupied when he signed the associa
tion's constitution aud by-laws, which
provide for the government of such
association through a board of direc
tors. Whenever three-fourths of the
membership of any aesociatiou are
ready to stand by the sevtral acts of
its board of dir ctors through a period
of two years, it s about the best
proof that could be found (without
wasting some sleep and quite a good
deal of hustling about) that the will
of the a Molalla Mut.al Te'ephone
Association has been carrnd out
about as well as weak mortals here
below could hope to tver do .
There ill be a special meeting of
the associat on the first Monday in

DO NOT DELAY
Until the drain on your system produces permanent disability. The human
breathing machinery is a wonderful system of tubes and cells. To have food
health it must ba kept in good order. A COLD is considered of no impor
tance, yet if it was known by it's proper name of "throat inflammation,"
or "congestion of the lungs," its dangerous character would be appre
ciated. When a cold makes its appearance use at once Ballard's Bora
hound Syrup which will speedily overcome it.
WHOOPIN& COUCH and CROUP Require Prompt Action. SNOW
LINIMENT applied to the throat and chest gives wonderful relief, while
Ballard' Horehound Syrup will rapidly stop the violent paroxysms of
coughing. IT IS THE ONLY COUCH REMEDY THAT WILL
POSITIVELY CURE WHOOPING COUCH AND CROUP.
