OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1916. News of the County and Suburbs i J& it 1$ J" Local and County Items of Interest to Our Readers CHERRYVILLE Winter days are over and really gone. Snow is nearly gone at this al titude, and the roads at this writ ing are as good as in the summer time. Mr. Kern, the new road boss, was in this vicinity lately looking over the roads. He says he will give work to the people living near where the work is being done, in preference to bring ing help from some other locality. He ed in favor of On Sunday Owen Hughes was given la surprise birthday party. Mrs, Hughes prepared a lovely dinner and invited Mr. and Mrs. John Baker, Rev, Jones, of Portland; Mr. and Mrs. W, 0.

People are very much pleased with his program. Frogs are croaking and birds are singing in every direction and every thing indicates an early spring, al though we are likely to have some little touch of winter yet, but no one expects bad weather to any extent. A party, recently returning from the Cowlitz valley, Wash'n., says that ranchers were shooting their cattle, as hay could not be had at any price. ' Nothing has been done as yet about appointing any one on the elec tion board here at the primaries, but Republicans. If this is not changed the returns from this precinct will be thrown out, as people must have some respect for the law. It will be an edifying spectacle to see Teddy and "Boob" Penrose sitting cheek and jowl in the Republican con vention at Chicago next June, after all the endearing names they have called one another. All kinds of ranch work is going ahead at this writing, as the ranchers seem to think Spring has come to stay. While the weather here now is delightful, storms, severe weather and frightful blizzards are raging in the East Prof. Twining Hadley, of Harvard, in his book, ."Under Currents in Poli tics," says that no country pays so much attention to the sacred ( ? ) rights of property and so little for the rights of humanity as this. A case in "point is hereby illustrated. A judge in Portland sentenced a mere youth for ten years to the "Pen" for taking a little grub for his starving wife. Portland contains the biggest bunch of "tightwads and cold-blooded hungry old grabbers in America. Some day they will have a bread riot among their starving poor, who they neglect to provide employment for and a way to live. We don't want any more poor people brought in here from the East," says the Oregonian. No! It wants rich suckers who can be separated from their money by all kinds of mis representations. This idle land that is held by Speculators at exorbitant prices is then unloaded on people with more money than sense, and it costs another fortune to prepare it for cul tivation. Just as soon, however, as anything is said about single tax all the hired lawyers and the subsidized press get busy and utter a pack of lies about single tax ruining the farmers. The reason they fight single tax is that it would cause a big increase in taxes on the speculators. A widow woman here, thinking to beautify her humble home, planted a crimson ram bier rose on her porch. It caught the eye of the assessor and up went her taxes another $5. Speaking about taxes, a homestead here off from the public road and with no land in culti vation and with a partially furnished house is taxed $25.40, while a culti vated farm with 25 acres tilled and fair buildings is taxed but little more. One has a pull and the other hasn't, HAZELIA The Parent-Teacher club met at iw .Kun,r-,.i, Little Miss Grace Ducan visited fa . nMnf A fin. ,rft. nazeiia scnooi inursuay, gramme was given by the school chil- , rs- V" drcn, in charge of Miss Lewis, the Mrs Sarah and Mrs Frank Childs at the C.

LIBERAL The rain Tuesday morning put a stop to farming.. Lots of early grain was sown during the pretty spell of weather, and a few early potatoes were planted, as well as early gardens.

ASTORIA PLAN OFF Secretary Daniels Puts Quietus on Naval Base Scheming Astoria's naval base for battle ships, torpedo boats, submarines and anything else that could get over the bar and into the sheltered and shal low waters thereabouts, has gone a-glimmering. Secretary Daniels, of the Navy Department, put the kibosh on it, by announcing that government funds were needed for so many im portant things this year that all local naval base booms would not receive consideration. With characteristic frankness the Portland papers printed the news first in small and inconspicuous para graphs; and then later came out with long stories blaming Astoria's failure to land a soft plum on the jealousy of Washington. However, the North west can cheer up in spite of Astoria's woe; for there is to be a first-class navy yard soon on Puget Sound. Closing the saloons has cut down the revenue of the street car com pany at night. This is applying the famous "Rule G'' at the other end of the traffic problem. R. L. Holman and T.
