the republican line-up will be too strong;

Brother Chunky says that the Enter
piise accuses him o( lying about the
county indebtedness. Well when the
brother f a) s that the county Indebted
nesa is 1300,000 and the olllcial statement
shows It to be $130,000 and he says that
tliis county is the banner one for high
taxes and we cite a county, Clatsop, that
has a higher rate, we must say that his
deductions from what the Enterprise said
do his intelligence credit.

UOOD OFFICES REJECTED
.The offer of Holland to act as an inter
mediary to bring about a conference of
English and Boer authorities, with
view to the settlement of the war, has
been rejected by the Briiish Govern
m-nt. The proposition of the Dutch
premier was based on what it termed
"an exceptional condition of one of the
belligerents." The Boers in South Af
rica are so hemmed in that they are un
able to communicate with their repre
sentatives in Europe Mr. Kruger and
Dr. Leyde who are in the Netherlands,
"The suggestion of Holland was that
England might accept the good offices of
ot a neutral nation, through whom safe
conducts could be given the Boer repre
sentatives in Europe, which would en
able them to visit Sjuth Africa, consult
with their people, and return with au
thority to conclude a treaty of peace.
The Holland authorities would then
place them in loach with British pleni
potentiaries, and furnish accommoda
l!ors for a meeting.
Replying to the proposal, Lord Lans
downe, for the Briiish foreign ofFce,
points out that the presumption mast be
tbpt the offer to treat comes not from
the Boers, but is the intervention of a
foreign power a method of procedure
winch jMigUnd declined to lecogmze
early in the war, and to which she was
still determined to adheie. A further
objection was raised that there is no evi
dence that the Boers in Eu-ope are still
representative of their brethren in the j
nem, me unoers'anuing being mat au
tboiily had passed to Mr. Steyn and Mr
Schalk Burger, of O-Jne River and the
Transvaal, resneclivsly, r-id that any
communication from tbem could reach
the British through Geneial Kitchener.
While the Englieh paper's generally
applaud the attitude assumed by Lord
Lanedowne, there is no doubt a la'e
majority in England, in public a well
as in private lii'e, who would gladly hail
an end to the Boer war. It is reported
by the British war office tbct the de; tbe
and permanent die bi J i Lies a'e over
25,0CD. and that the total casualties ag
gregate 100,000. Tne cost to the present
time represents $1,003,000,000. The ex
penses last yer were l15C0,CC3t aid
estimate for the ii-ese-ii, year we-'e
$164,500,000, nd the estimates for the
p-eeat ye-r ere placed at $::05,350,0,.
Logan, Or., Feb, 12, 1902. (To the Ed
itor) : Please allow me space in your
valuable paper for a few remarks in re
ply lo Mr. King's pretended interest in
good toads in your issue of February 7.
Now if F. N. King were generally known
throughout the County, sa in Logan, I
would refrain from noticing his article.
But, as it is, I must show my side of this
question in justice to myself and friends
concerned, from a supervisor's stand
point. In the first place I pronounce bis
article in full a malicious slander and
misrepresentation. His reason for doing
so is simply this: in doing my duty as
supervisor, I warned him out to work
his poll tax, but instead of appearing on
the road and working his tax like a man,
I e spent his time and money in procuring
an affidavit from a physician, to the ef
feet that he was not an able-bodied man,
The new road law exempts only those
that are too infirm to perform manual
labor. Judging by the land clearing and
cord wood cutting tbat Mr. King has done
in two years past, there are but few
more able-bodied persons in Logan than
he is. I compromised with him, he
agreeing to burn out two stumps, that
set in front of his door yard ; but he even
failed to do that. In regard to orders
that the County court made to the effect
that no supervisor should leceive pay
for a day's labor unless he reported five
days' work on the road at the same time,
it seems lo me that any person that has
given this road matter the thought and
attention that Mr. King has might know
tlmt while the supervisor is working on
subscription labor bis might be the only
one published, because the subscription
labor is not published. Now, Mr. King,
in regard to workfng on the road, I will
stale lhat no subscriber to road improve
ment in our district was ever tarried
away. You was asked, time and time
again, to work your $10.00, but you evi
dently was not looking for road work, for
the reason that you could get better
wages at m st any kind of labor and that
is why you paid his subscription, after
belhg threatened with costs.
In regard to that 80 acre farm Mr,
King speaks of, I pronounce it a willful
misrepresentation. In due respect and
credit to my friends that stood by me,
and responded lo my request whenever
help was needed, they sacrificed their
crops and work on their farms, and
worked on Ihe road "iu the cause of good
roads." I think vhen a man works 10
and 11 hours a day with a good team
and wagon, he works at the rate of $3.00
Der day at a sacrilice, and deserves great
credit. In regard to myself, I have
woiked at a sacrifice to the interests on
the farm and at a loss financially. Had
it not been in the interests of good roads,
I never would hove accepted the super
visorship, and I hope some person more
public spirited and deserving will take
my place next June.

If you want to know what your neigh
bors, or supposed friends will say about
you after you have left the community,
just pay particular attention to what you
slight. We are apt to mislead ouraelvi t
by making a too hasty decision Come
people ue sugar In their lea and some
drink their tea without sugar. But we
. . ... , . i
hear said about some one else who has would never think oi assigning iwrmmni
left town. There' more truth than objection as me iun lor our Kumt
poetry in the saying "human nature la refusing to partake of stimulants after
the same the world over." No If the
person you chose to take for an example
la, in your own estimation, worm than
you are, the difterence between what has
been said about him and lhat which will
be said of yourself, is simply one ol de
gree. T.lking to one's back is a common
fault among us Americans. Much of it
is free from malicious intent iuna, but s
good share of this kind of gossip la largely
tainted with either jealousy or la the
natural offspring of a dyspeptic ns'oie.
Sometimes it springs from selfishness
again it is the mutterlngs of a chionic
pessimist. Whatever may be Ihe cause
of this kind of "babhle," lis rfT; ,;t uim
the Individual indulging it is moat bale
ful, and the injuat nets and positive in
jury inflicted upon the third pa ly is
apparent. When you are Inclined to
say an unkind thing about souie one,
whether that one be simply not la your
presence but away to the fartherest ends
of the earth, just pause long enough to
consider bow you would like to have
such a remark made about yourself. If
you do that nine times out of ten the
expression will be with held.
Take "Bill" Jones, for example :
First party-" Well, Old "Bill" Jones

Second party "It that so. So Old
Bill's going away, well, Bill's a pieiiy
good fellow; don.t amount lo much;
thinks he knows something but there's
a heap Old Bill has got to learn yet.

pears dillldent upon Hist Introduction
doean't argue lhat they are purposely
uuaocial. Because one man barely

covers his head and stands with the rain

presence
But many time we do mlsjudgo. We
form opinions, and Instead of trying to
find out the truth we think we have
been nubbed, and the thing (or us to do
is to retaliate,
How many times have we discovered
our error by simply "reserving judge
ment," sa the diplomats sav. Cinnm-
stantial evidence cannot always be re
lied upon. What an unluat accusation
it would be if we should charge a friend
with the theft of a piece of money and
then find the misplaced coin, iu our own
possession
Friendship ia more precious tlun
money yet that is firqil ntly stifled and

t
rhey say that a person wh amounts
to anything in this world has lots of
enemies. It seems at first thought to
be an unfortunate atate of affairs, yet If
we look below the surface wo will dis
cover Ihe reasons. "Little ships must
keep near shore, but larger ones may
venture more." Persons of small abili
ties ; ol little or no amnion or energy
Now how would you feel if you actuj'ly J kwp close lo the shore of life's turbulent
knew that some one had made such t'seas. They don't have Ihe desire to
remark about yourself. Wouldn't it launch boldly out into deep water or are
make you raving mad? and wouldn't! morally alrald to do so; and rather than
you feel aa if you didn't have a friend
left on earth if some "friend" of the "I-
thought-I had-better-tell you" sort would
hurl three or four such javelins at yon?
Again : " What kind of a fellow Is that
man Smith?"
"Smith, oh, he's a queer sort of a man ;
don't know much of him as a rratter of
fact, but they say he's dishonest; tbat
now mind you, so I've been told.
Don't say that I told you. But you'd
betier not have anything to do with
him."
t
But there is another plur.e of the sub
ject, the diversity of opinions re-maiding
the same individual.
try it they will sit down and let some
one else do the work. Then whoever
takes up the reins and goes ahead the
best he knows how, not infrequently
meets with a storm of criticisms. Erring
mortals are loo likely to hang hack for
various petty reasons and discourage the
work of others who would go ahead if
conditions were favorable. II we want
to make a success of a popular move
ment for instance, we muat have a good
leader. A good leader is born, not
made, yet the measure of his success de
pends Uron the willingness of hi follow
