The basket social ia just over and hat

If the county la so willing to assist some
needy persons in I-oan, they had better

Road Work to Commence Muln High

Below is given the apportionment of
the road fund a niado by the county
court. It ia made in compliant to the
slate law which provide that counties
working under the cash system shall
apHrtin out the road fund to the
various road districts in proportion to
the amount of tax pui J or the several
districts and the needs and requirements
of the roads therein. To a casual
observer the apportionment a made
for this year would seem to not fulfill
this section of the law, but as a matter
of fact the court did the very beet they
could nnder the circumstances.
Under the law, counties are responon
sible for all damages caused by defects
in the highways, and as the county now
has already paid one damage suit and
has a couple more on its hands for
chance.
Quite a number of Loganitea attended damages by teams falling over embank
the Pomona grange at Oswego on tbe Hth. menta and off from high grades. One of

these suits was caused by the dangerous
condition of the Aurora hill in the
Barlow district and to remedy this is
why this district gets such a large sum.
The big sum for Maple Lane is for con

A number of the farmers in this vicinity
re making improvements in the way of
new fences. L. Humiston and F. Wilson
are building picket fences, and P. Wilson,
Fred Gerber and George Clark are building
board fences. Is this a fad or is it McKin
ley prosperity?
Sandy Mews.
Sakdt, April 19. We bar had very far
orable weather tbe past two weeks for plow
log and sowing of grain.
Most farmers have finished their spring
farm work.
Fruit trees are in full bloom and pros
pects are good for a very heavy crop.
All fall sown grain looks well and farmers
are jubilant over the prospects or having a
golden harvest next fall.
Messrs. Burnette and Gibson of Eagle
Creek took a a rove ol 109 head of yearling

Two n. embers of the Oregon Road Club
'were out on Sandy looking around with a
view to building a bicycle track from Port
land to Sandy. This has been talked of for
the past year and if Sandy people will en
courage tbe matter we may get a bicycle
track oat here. A three-loot cement track
is proposed.

Needy News.
Niidt, April 18. The very warm weath
er which has prevailed for the past week
has been changed for clouds.
Farmers are getting in and rustling-
plowing, seeding and working in bop yards.
Tbe bops are growing quite fast and
many hop growers have several hired
bands.
Asa Thompson Is home from Monmouth
college where be recently graduated.
Lewis Spagle sint Sunday with bis
parents and friends near here. He is at
work near Aurora.
New Era hill has become a necessity in
ofder to make the road from Needy,
Macksburg, Barlow and Canby to Ore
gon City passable for loaded teams. As
some heavy grading will have to be done
a large apportionment waa necessary for
this district.
Oswego district which embraces that
precinct and West Oregon City, is also
given a larger apportionment. The rea
son for this is that the Electric company
has offered to contribute $1,000 toward
the improvement of the Oregon City and
btaBOrd road. This Is one of tbe worst
roads leading into Oregon City while
badk of it is one of the richest farming
district in Clackamas county, the trade
of which would be of great value to this
city. By tbe terms of the contract be
tween the county and the Electric com
pany, the company were allowed 5 yean
in which to pay up their delinquent
mortgage tax, in the road work thev
were to do, but realysing the urgent
need that there was for this road they
ottered' to make a payment of (1000 tl
year, which with the amotit the county
will expend w ill lilve a road by which
the people of Tualatin, Pleasant Hill and
Union precincts can reach the county
seat at all seasons of the year.
While the aniout apportioned to
Oregon City diatriut ia small, yet as a
matU'r of fact, this city will get this year,
as It did last year, the lion's share of
the road fund, for all the roada Uon
which big Bums are to be expended are
main highways, loading direct to this
city. With the work of last year the
county got all the roads within the city
limit in very good shape and only the
necessary repairs will be made to them
this year. The only exception being
that small section of road along tbe north
bank of the Ahernethy between the
Parkplace road and Main street, which
will be improved, as it is almost impas
sable in the winter.
It will be the aim of the couuty court
and Road Engineer Johnson to continue
the policy that has been in effect since
the adoption bf the cash system in this
county, to confine the work to the main
highways as much aa possible so that
the farmers may have access to maikuta
at the earliest possible date, doing only
such repair work as is abaolutly neces
sary to the by-roads. The progress
already made in road building in Clack
amas county warrants the assertion
that witliing five years every neighbor
hood in the county will have a turnpike
road leading to the nearest marketing
point and then our farmers will be able
to market their produce during tbe
winter months when prices are always
the best, for nine-tenths of the farmers
of the United States, are now", and will
be for years to come, owing to the slow
spreading of the good roads movement,
shot off from the towns by a mud bloc
ale six months out of th year. When
the entire dry months can be devoted to
farm work and tbe wet months to the
marketing, then will the farmers of
Clackamas be in a position to make
their farms pay.

The decision of County School r?tnei
Intemlent Starkweather in the matter of
the contest of the election In school
district No. 101, near Clarke's postoflleo,
has been affirmed by State SiicrititMid
ent Irwin. The point at issue waa aa to
the legality of the election of directoi by
viva voca vote at the annual school
meeting. Mr. Starkweather contended
it must be by ballot.
Last Monday was the time set by law
for the apportionment of the county
school fund among the districts, but aa
there are only 13,500 now in the fund
leas than 50 cents per capita, and taxes
are coming In very slowly, Superintend
ent Starkweather deemed it advisable
to defer the apportionment until th
fund was reasonably full, which will
probably be about the first of June.
Tbo total fund, according to the levy
will be more than 132,000, less its pro
portion of the delinquent taxes.

for any season, but perha mors gener
ally needed, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
alterative ia felt. A prompt use of this
medlcino has often averted long and r-
haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting
and freeing tbe system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Conati
pation and Dizaines yield to Electric
Bitters. 60c and $100 per bottle at
