What Mr. Cheney wants and all he cares for is a hoard that will give him the county printing. He had the priming for two or three yt ars and his charges were so high, that wlu-n his contract was ended he could not get the hoard to listen to him. Cheney cares nothing for the Democratic, Socialist or any other party that has not v funds to spend in his office and if they have funds he is ready to talk business ti any of them. Cheney says that Porter is responsible for the three commission ers. Porter is willing to take any re sponsibility along that line. Clackamas County's delegation including the mem ber elected by the Courier-Herald's party unanimously voted for three com missioners. He believe it along the light lines. This had nothing to do with the printing and Porter did not get the printing as a result of it. What Porter did do was to have the printing con trolled by the sheriff but into the hands of the board and the result is that the advertising of the last lax roll controlled by the sheriff cost something like $12C0 while this year it cost $451.80. The wisdom of this move resulted in the leg islature at its next session taking the tax lists in all the counties from the sheriff and putting the publication of the same in tbe hands of the county courts. We wish to thank the Courier-Herald for ad mitting that Porter did any thing in the legislature especially when t'.ie credit fur .that thing has been persistently and ex clusively claimed by others. The counly debt is little if any larger than it has been for ten years. It has varied a little but not materially. As we have said before the debt by the of- i . .. . i . . ui.iai Biaieweui oi uie county clerk is close to $130,000 and it will be shown close to that figure in the next statement issued in April. The cry of the editor of the Courier Herald is "if my man had been elected commissioner and I had done the print ing and if the assets of the county are not counted." What is wanted is not is but facts. The roads of the county have been costing a great deal ot money. The county spent last year about $.57,000 in cash on roads and bridges besides many hundreds of dollars subscribed. If the people of the county do not want this they are not manifesting it. On the contrary the cry is for more and more. The roads of this county are attracting the attention of outsiders and the farm ers are seeing the benefits derived and ! the state taxes. Alter that period, live years, if the law is not changed, (lie amount that each county shall pay of the stale taxes will he in proportion to the amount of money spent in each county exclusive of what is spent on roads. County taxes are based entirely on taxable properly as well as stale taxes for five years. The statement made in the Cornier- fferald article that Clackamas County was the banner couuly for high taxes is as true as anything in the artie'e. That paper cites Oregon City with 40 mills as the highest in the stale and the county with 32 mills as the highest county. Neither Oregon City nor Clackamas County lead by any mentis. Atnria has a tax levy of 54 mills and the county levy of Clatsop County exceeds that of Clackamas. But what is the use of citing examples. It is a well known rule and a good one to go by that a statement that is untruthful in any respect should be doubted In all. use of grain where they have to purchase nearly all that is fed. Milk prices have advanced, while the supply has de creased, and dealers have in many in- etuiices purchased milk of dinners who formerl) sent their cream to creaineiies. Ihere has not been a corresponding ad vance in butter prices, anil with the de. crease in cream the expenses of manu facture have been increased. Although the condition which now exists is un usual, and is likely to pass off with the advent of spring, it tends to in.ike much diacontent among patrons and calls (or the exercise oi much tact and forbear ance on the patt of all. Clackamas, according to the Oregon City Courier-Herald, is over $-00,000 in lent, This is a imod camnaiim erv. dm c, - , -0-- . . j , ..... it comes contemporaneously with the arrival of hundreds of homeseekers, ho will undoubtedly keep on until they enws the line into Marion, a county out of debt. Our neighboring county has been cursed with too much polities Aurora Borealis. The above paragraph shows the way outsiders look on the political howls and false representations of the Courier- Herald. In order to excite political prejudice that paper will print any po litical lie. As a result people are turned away that might settle in the county The facts would not hurt the county uo not carry your politics so fur as to hurt your counly. Hogs For (Julik Returns. It has always been my experience that there is a decided advantage with Iiol's over all other stock kept oa the farm the quick returns if good management is given. Ab with all -lin k, it is essentia) that a good breed be had. lty having well-bred animals, a ouick growth and early maturity can be obtained. If a sow farrows in early spiing, say April, lute enough not to endanger losses from cold, in nine months Uitt pigs, with goo I lieat inent, can he ready for market, lty this time another lot of pigs can be urowimr. Thus we can sell two lots of pigs In year from the same sow. This gives a quick return, and at this year's prices, good one, on the money invested. No other stock will answer as well. The value of the hog to the farmer cannot be questioned. (Mrs. M. A. Speakman, Chester County, Pa.) program of pithy, pointed talks, papers and discussion will ho rendered.

Mr. King Comes to Ihe Front m d l h'dilH Mr. T nny's Sliiteinen's. Tub law governing the the payment of taxes has been changed. If you wieh to get advantage of the rebate yon must pay before March 15th. You must pay at least half of your taxes by April 15th, or you will have a penally to pay. The law provides that half of the taxes can be paid in the fail if half is paid before April 15th. On that date, April 15th, all taxes become delinquent and a penalty of ten per cent is added unless half of your taxes are paid beiore that time. This time can not by law be extended. Do not put off the paying of part of your taxes beyond that date unless you want topaycoBts. In the past the time ha been extended ; it can not be done this year. Benton and other counties in the state are discussing the new road law, some predicting it will be an entire fail ure. Most of the counties in the state have made a very small levy, one and two r mills. Clackamas counly has worked under this system for eight or ten years, and last year spent on her roads and bridges nearly fOO.000. The people of the counly are beginning to see the result and approve the system and this year the board has made a levy of eight mills, the highest ever made. Govebxok McBhimk, of Washington. has dismissed the state pilot commission and appointed a new one. Of the new board, C- E. Kerlee is an Ilwaco mer chant, John Wilson is an ex-soldier, ex prize-fighter and at present a saloon keeper, and Charles Payne is associate editor of a newspaper in Chinook. He was an apprentice on the ill-fated Strath- blane, which went to pieces on Lonu Beach about 10 years ago. In all of this the fine Italian hand of Assistant Attorney-General C. C. Dalton is visible.

The levy for roads this year, eight mills, is larger than any caunty we know of and five and six times that of most counties. Mr. Wheeler Hot Itlieuiiiiulsin. "During the winter of 1808 I wsa so lame in my joints, in fart ail body, that I could hardly bobble around, Logan, Or., Feb. 1. (To the Editor.) Please allow me space for a few re marks along the line followed bv Mr. Tenny in your issue of Jannaiy 21. He makes remarks about supervisors using money cn the roads, yet be cites no use made of the money, how diverted from its intended use etc. The counly court made an order to the effect (at least it was published that way) that no supervisor should receive pav for a days labor, unices he reported live days work on the road at the same time. tins order has, it seems, never been complied with. Supervisors have re ported time and again, a day for them selves with possibly a day for some member of the family with or without a t -am No attention whatever has been paid to the court's order. Instances have been noticed In the re ports where the whole bill was paid to the supervisor s family. In the improvement of a rjad where the work covered the whole term of the supervisor, enough was paid him and (us lamny to enable him to purchase a farm of 80 acres. Other things in con nection with Ibis thing is the formation of neighborhood ringn by which John Doe as supervisor employes his neighbor Richard Roe, on the road to the exclu sion of all others, expecting at Ihe end ol Ins term said Koe will return the compliment. This is a method emp oyed by many county officers in the manage ment of their offices. More particularly is the family racket worked in nubile office. The county court should see that the order mentioned at the beginning of this article is enforced and the money more evenly distributed, thereby preventing supervisors employing one or two men at a time on the road and reporting and receiving a day's labor for himself, as the cost of supervising the work is intuitu out of proportion to the money spent in actual work. If we cannot h ave rinr road woik done satisfactorily any other way Jet it be done by contract. in me case of a roads imnroivm.i.t where people subscribe money, the con tractor can hire the people subscribing give them a receipt for their labor, and tbe receipt turned in to the county court, mereoy cancelling the subscription.
