Mr. Counsell's first success was the

would not be less than $8000, but Mr.
Counsell was employed to superintend
the work and completed the job at a
cost of about $5000. The improve
ment of the Molalla road in the vici
nity of Howard's mill was also done
by Counsell and this stands as evi
dence of his superior knowledge of
this sort of work.
Mr. Counsell's experience in' the
matter of bridge building is equally
good. And his friends insist that it is
just such a man that is needed on
the board of county commissioners.
This county is called upon annually
to build or improve several miles of
roadway anl many bridges and it is
essential to the best interests of the
county that at least one member of
the board of commissioners is a man
who has some practical knowledge of
road and bridge work, and that man
is W. H. Counsell, of Harmony.
First Bv the district high school.
Second By the County igh school.
Consider the former. Of the 118 dis
tricts in this county, how many are
able to support a high school with a
four years' course? Probably three or
four: How many are doing it? One
Parkplace. Of the other 117 districts,
one has a two years' course and sever
al have added the ninth grade.
Just enough has been done to meet
the demands of the people for a bet
ter education of their ' children, and
this demand is increasing. In a few
years a, full four years' course will be
required in many places. Now what
are these districts going to do about
it?
There is otten to them three courses
"of procedure:
First They may do without.
Second By the County high school,
pils to such districts as are able to
maintain high schools.
Third They may establish a county
high school and send them to it.
As to the first we have already con
sidered the desirability of a high
school education in a former '. paper,
and if we acknowledge the necessity
we are under obligation of providing
such education. If we say let them do 1
without, we are denying the need of j
better education and should consider
the arguments for and against send
ing pupils to high, schools. 1
This will leave the last two methods i
for consideration and will require a j
comparison in. order to determine i
which is the more advantageous. The
the high school. But such districts are
not consulting their own interests
when they object. Because they have
no easy means of transportation now
does not say that they never will
have. The difficulty of reaching Ore
gon was urged as a grave objection
to the acquisition of the Oregon Ter
ritory by the United States, yet with
in 15 years after such objections were
put forth the Pacific Coast was united
to the East by iron bands, and Oregon
has long enjoyed as easy communica
tion with the East as was enjoyed by
states on the Atlantic Coast. If it is
difficult to communicate with the coun
ty high school it will be difficult to
communicate with any high school,
and if home schools are developed the
ultimate good will be to all districts.
These remarks are for such districts
as - cannot support a .high school of
their own. There are but few dis
tricts that can and these cannot do it
so easily or so well as the county.
So I see no adequate provisions for a
county high school education for years
to Come if the county high school is
not established. If it is established
it will be the property of the whole
county, toward which all districts will
turn and. make use of as property be
longing to them. The result will be
that in a few years there will be far
more high school pupils under the
county system than under any other
system. L. A. READ.

With
remainder of this paper, then, will be
devoted' to such a comparison. This
will leave the consideration of such
districts as are able to support a high
school far another time as these dis
tricts will not have to send their pu
pils away from home.
The principal factor in this compari
son will be the expense.
First the county high school will
be free while the district high school
will charee from $12 to $40 tuition.
This will have a greater effect in pro-jtiment of all carriers:
He is competent and deserving.
He is the right man for the right

He is first, last, and always a Re
publican. He is courteous. . efficient and,
thoroughly qualified.
He has always supported the
party's nominees in every
election. -
He is more than 28 years of -age,
while the only charge, his op

prefer against him is that he
is but 22 years old.
THE PENNIES IN THE BOX.
Rural mail , route patrons will win
the everlasting gratitude of their car
riers If they will buy stamps and af
fix them to their matter instead of
dropping pennies in their boxes . in
payment of postage. A friend of the
mailcarrier handed the Gazette these
verses, taken from the Rural Free De
livery Journal, as expressing the . sen-
portion to the amount spent, upon the
adjacent districts for there the pupils
can go back and forth' from home,';
making the expense of tuition the only
consideration, and weknow that, while
a certain number may go and pay $12,
and a still greater number if the tui
tion is free.
In districts further removed we
must add the expense of boarding, or
the expense of going back and forth,
as car fare. As to the former, if the
pupils have to board, the' expense of
attending a county high school will be
no greater than the expense of attend
ing a district high school. Further,
a county high school will probably be
located in such a place that those pu
pils who wish will be able" to secure

FOR COUNTY CLERK.
To the Republican voters of
Clackamas county.
I hereby announce myself as
a candidate for the Republican
nomination for County Clerk at .
the Primary election, April 20,
1906. My motto is: "Honesty
Efficiency, Courtesy."
Very respectfully,
I. D. TAYLOR,
of Abernethy Precinct.
Washington County, candidate for the
nomination for Congress on the Re
publican ticket is in the city in the
interest of his candidacy and while
he does not make as loud claims as
some other candidates, he is quite
confident of success. He says that
he will carry Washington, Yamhill,
Polk, Tillamook, --Lane, Josephine,
Klamath, Lake and Curry counties.
He concedes Marion and Benton to
Hawley. He thinks the fight in Jack-
son, Douglass and Linn is a .very close
one with the odds slightly in favor of
Hawley in the last two counties men
tioned. Mr. Huston is a native of
Washington county, Indiana, and is
48 years of age. His father was Oliver
W. Huston, who was a soldier in Com
pany G. 18th Indiana Volunteers In
fantry, and lost his life at the battle
of Stone River. There were four
brothers in the family and all enlisted
in the army, two in the 18th 2d, and
two in the 66th 2d. They all lived to
return except Mr. Huston's father.
By his death Mr. Huston's mother was
left a widow with three children of
and thus earn a part of their expense,
Besides it has been perceived that
when a state institution of learning
has been established in a city or town
the people of that city or town, recog
nizing the advantage of aiding in ev
ery way possible students attending
the school, keep many positions open
for the boys and girls who may per
form their duties before or after
school hours and receive board and
lodging for so doing. In addition to
these considerations, tuition is free
and $40 will board a pupil for some,
time.
Now in cases of pupils staying at
home and going back and forth, it
might happen that the expense of at
tending a district high school would
be less than the expense of attending
a county high school. As for instance,
suppose the county high School to be
located at Oregon City, it would be
cheaper for the people of Milwaukie to
send their children to Portland than
to Oregon City, since the fare to Port
land for the 200 school days would be
$28, while to Oregon City it would be

Then it's quite a trick -to pick up a

In search of a missing cent.

It whitens his scanty locks.

It's thoughtlessness that causes
