Dontal college by Dr. Weir. MOUNTAIN VIEW Why not make an effort to beau tify our homes this spring? Plant roses and flowers to make the yards and lawns attractive. If the parents would put the boys at work in their leisure hours just a short time each day, preparing the ground, then have the girls plant the seeds or put in plants how soon Oregon City would look different. If the landlord who rents houses would make the place attractive there would not be many renters who would not keep it so, and eventually the slovenly, indifferent renter would find very little chance to rent a house. Quite a number are reported on the sick list. Mrs. VanAuken has been kept in several days with lum bago. Ed Terry is quite ill at his home on Duane street, the Schwock family are quarantined on account of scarlet fever, and Grandma Brady has been quite ill with heart weakness and other ailments incident to old age. Last Saturday Mother Waldron, while at her home alone, suffered a stroke of paralysis and was found by Ed Quinn, who had gone in the house on an errand. Mrs. Waldron is past 83 years of age and hitherto has been quite active and in usual good health. Mrs. R. Simpson visited a daugh ter in Portland last Saturday.

A PROMINENT WOMAN EN DORSES OUR STATEMENT. Portland, Oregon. "I was troubled lor years witn le mnle trouble and "tried a great many remedies without ; any benefit until I was advised to j use Dr. JVrce s ' Favorite Prescrip tion. I took sev leral bottles of it and received great benefit therelmm.

CHERRYVILLE "Winter lingers in the lap of spring." .health was much better on the ranch, Andrew Oaks has sold his ranch, above Alder Creek, east of the bridge and about three miles from the post office, to a Mr. Walker, of Portland, who will make his summer home there and fix it up for a sort of shooting and hunting lodge. Lee Updike, who formerly lived near here, was in this vicinity recent ly and says he has been employed near Kelso, Wash'n., this winter. He says all the lumber camps are start ing up all over the state and that as soon as the weather permits every wheel on the coast will be turning. What will the calamity howlers do then The splendid (?) intellects which are drawing big, fat salaries from the S. P. railroad in this land grant business, made the ridiculous state ment before congress or the commit tee in charge of the measure, that this land was scarcely any of it fit for agricultural purposes, as it was too rought and rocky. If it is so poor, why didn't they sell it for $2.50 long ago as they had contracted to do, and as they had abundant opportunities to do. As a matter of fact 75 per cent of it can be cultivated if cleared. For proof of this statement ask Os wald West, ex-governor, who is prob ably as well, posted as any man in the state in this matter, and whose word is above reproach. Railroad lawyers and railroad liars as the terms are interchangeable and synonymous. R. L. Holman and T. P.

The writer knows of one democrat that was left off this time for the first time since well, since he was able to sprout a mustache, and he is not complaining either. It was time to retire and maybe there are one or two demo crats on the board anyhow. He re signed once because his name was on the ticket. He has escaped serv ing on a jury of the other kind so far. Say, boys, that was an interesting game in the old times when the demo crats and the republicans each had tickets and the leaders' problems were to see which could have the last and strongest hold on the wobbly voter and march him up and see that he put it in with as few scratches as possible.

Store THOSE SIREN SONGS Better Look out for Them, Saya the Sheridan Sun Editor The empty pledges made by the legislative candidates two years ago that reforms in taxation would be the watchword should not go unnoticed now when a repetition of the promises are liable to be made by the same candidates, 'or by new ones chanting the same song. The man who pays his taxes this year finds them higher than those of the year before, and the same is true of the previous years. It is not diffi cult .to locate the cause the candi dates elected to the legislature failed to deliver the goods. Many instances where the pruning knife was not used in the large appropriation bills might be mentioned. The people are taxed to pay these appropriations, and large sums are spent on our educational in stitutions for the benefit of our boys and girls. This is perfectly proper when the benefits received is equal to tho expenditures, but is all wrong when the reverse is true. Year after year new fads are introduced that call for additional expense that some per son of mediocre ability may have a position for making life's ends meet, who otherwise might find the neces sity of physical toil somewhat repug nant to his sense of propreity. Students of these fadists are grad uated with a degree but no position is open to them, so new positions are created for their benefit and the pass- ive people are - again taxed to pay high salaries to support these new officials. The same condition may be charged against many of the state commis sions whose scope of usefulness is of negligible value to' the people who support them. It is simply a case of the people going wild in digging bot tomless holes for the storage of the financial waters. It is now up to the voters to call off useless digging, and the time to make the call is right now when the future law makers of the state are to be nominated at the pri mary and elected in the fall. Swat the candidate who is not hon est in his conviction of retrenchment or has not the stamina to back up those convicitions with active work. (Sheridan Sun.)
