Politics Hill aoou he ripo in Oregon and the great exposition booked for Portland in l'.H5 will please go away bark and ail down until again called to the front. Lincoln County leader. Thkbs has been considerable said con cerning the coat of running the county especially by Mr. Cross and the Courier Herald. The cost of running the county exclusive of the money ued on roads and highways is need as a basis for as certaining the part of the state tax that each county shall pay. That is if it cost $50,000 to run one county and $25,000 to ran another, then the former would pay $2 of state tax to the latter one. For this reason as well as others the running expanses of the county should be kept down. The cost of building bridges is included in the cost of the running ex penses of the county but when the clerk evnds in an item nearly $33,000 as the amount spent on bridges built by con tract in Clackamas County in the year 19 U we must protest. This is nearly one half of the entire running exnenses of the county and is about $22,000 too much. In regulating the state tax if the expenditures of Clackamas County are rained one third higher than they should be then we will pay one third more state tax than we should. We defy any one to show more than about $11,000 spent on bridges built by contract in Clacka mas County for the year 1901. Chia is a serious mistake and effects our state tax to such an extent that it should receive instant attention and be rectified if possible. The Salem Statesman savs W. J. Fur nish will be the only real opponent of Governor Uecr in the Republican stale convention. About a half a dozen other gentlemen witli aspirations are probably properly iu-uitcd by the statement. Lincoln County Leader. "Resolved, That the county court he requested to Contribute toward the open ing of the Lawton Hill toad, which runs from the south end of Oregon City, south to Upper Canemah, the full amount ol the road tax of Canemah road district now being collected, aid tax, together' n.iim lla Intention. A UUII1 ill III I! article he aavs: "circumstances only were referred to." Now who did he mean when be said In hla lirst witiclu ''In the improvement of a road where the work covered the wholelerm of the supei visor, enough wa pal l him and hit f,nnlly to purchase a (ami of SO wiih the private subscription already acres". Now I consider Ihat a dire.t NEVtTUIt MITCHELL P0K 1 1. D.clurrg In Faror of luiilatire K.fcrrndiiin. and If the county board would make an order that the hulk of the county road fund should go on the roads of the dis trict where raised, it would meet the ap proval of the majority of the taxpayers as well as save the Board from the an noyance of many petitions of money eaab month. It has reached the point that many people believe that if they can get a subscription forlabor or money for their road that then they can force the county board to put up a consider able amount of money to help out. In this way the rod fund is used up. There are timeawben an extraordinary outlay is demanded in certain districts on account of a bridge or trestle or bad , character of the land through which the road runs. These circumstances warrant different rule. If each district had only its own money, then any work in addi tion to this would have to be volunteered. We further believe that all outlay on tbe roads should be confined to the road fund. The following letter from Senator Mitchell is self-explanatory : "Washington, Feb. 2(i. Hon. W. 8. U'Ren, Secretary Direct Legislation League, Oregon Citv, Or. Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge receipt of yours of February 17, jiiBt received, in which you state that the Portland Board of Trade has referred to its committee on legisla tion a request from the Direct Legisla tion League of Ongon for their indorse ment and approval of the proposed amendment to the constitution of the State of Orepon, providing for the initia tive and referendum. "I think you know without any ex pression from me that I not only am now but have been for yeara heartily in favor of this proposed amendment, and I have no hesitation in expressing my self at all proper times and in all proper ways in its favor. I believe a large por tion of the people ol Oregon favor the anxtulment ; so let us try It. "I have not the time at present, nor do I think it necessary to go into the specific reasons why I favor this amend ment. The reasons entertained by those who favor it are known generally to the people of Oregon. "JOHN H. MITCHELL." pledged, being suthYietit, in the opinion of the meeting, to fully opeu said mad to public travel." The Bonrd postponed the matter until Wednesday, when a remonstrance, with over 40 signatures of prominent pruierty owners of the section attached, was presented to the Board, with the request that no new roads be opened and no more money be applied to the Lawton Hill road until the present roads in Canemah road district shall have been put into a good state of repair. The re reuionsirators further requested that sufficient amount of the mail fund be applied to the river road, but no action was taken on this request. Chairman Morton was in favor of granting the petition to open the lawton Hill road but Commiaaioners Lewellen and Killin strongly onposed it. The former made a forcible speech auainst the granting of the petition winch would necessitate a larger debt upon the county and he not propose to consent to running the insult to invsell and family, ami a cowardly act In Itself. Mr. King uiuM not think that he can publish such articles bioad cast to the public un noticed. In regard to Mr King's poll lux I will state that acordiiw to llin to id laws ol Oregon, he la liahl.i to IhiII lax. Why the court exempted him I am not prepared to -late, In my opinion it a grave mistake, as it will have a tend ency to lessen our poll tax one-half.

HILL UOVEKNHEST BUY LOl'KM Oregon City Canal To He Investigate With Several Euils In View. Tm Courier-Herald had much to say last week about the cost of running the county offices in Clackamas County as compared with otber counties but forgot to say that the cost of the county sup plies and printing in Clackamas County is ninth in tbe state although this county is third in population. The cost being about fSOO less than in either Linn or Marion, the counties that the Courier Herald hold op as models of economical government. This does na include the cost of tax list, which was the lowest ever obtained in Clackamas County. Let's show np tbe whole list while about it. The Courier-Herald tries to show that the expense of the clerk's office and f herifTa ia exceptionally low bat it does rot fhow the whole expense of either Washington, March 11. The rivers land harbors bill, as presented by the House committee, authorizes the Secre tary of War to ascertain through a board of engineers whether the acquisition of tbe present canal and locks at Willam ette Falls, or the construction of a canal and locks by the Government and their operation for the exclusive benefit of the navigation of the Willamette River would by withdrawing the waters of this river trotn its customary channels, materially injure the manufacturing enterprises now in operation or contemplated at the falls ; also to ascertain through the Department of Justice, whether the Portland General Electric Company, by view of its owner ship ol property at Willamette Falls, has legal right against the United States for the full, free and continued use of the waters of the Willamette for the use of tbe manufacturing enterprises now lo cated on its property; whether tbe water ia needed for navigation, and if go, what method would be necessary on the part of the Government to acquire title to such water for navigation purposes, and the measure of damages ft must pay the company.

(No charge to bridges.) Nearly one mile of crushed rock was built on the Molalla road to repair worn out plank. The southern part of tlie county made more road than has been built in three years, including the notorious Everhart hill, which has ballled the skill of road build ers lor 40 years. It has been a menace to improvement for a life time to many people. No Court, or man, or set ol men, dared to atiack it with a standing grade of nearly 25 per cent. What ia the case today? Your humble servant waa sent out there by the. county board with power to act in the premises. A skillful engineer was procured.
