TENTH STREET CROSSING.

The road is then continued by easy

A resident of the Stafford neighbor
hood, who w as in Oregon City, Satur
day, says a large majority of the peo
ple are pleased with the present mail
Service by rural route from Sherwood,
and four or five to one prefer it to
tie old star route.
The only disadvantage is the un- j
called for delay in receiving mail ;ou j
Oregon City, especially paper n-ail, j
wm.s me superior advantages are
many, not the least of which is being
able to receive daily papers befurt
they are a day old.
The "hold-up" of Oregon City mail
from one to three days has been quiet- j
ly investigated and it is believed the
fault is in the Fortland postofice
Where such mail i3 transferred.
TLe satisfied Staffordite says the
general sentiment is to let tho-.e few

The foregoing figures indicate that
the financial agents of Oregon .schools
are acquainted with tho ways of leg
islatures. If they asked for the exact
amounts necessary the sums would
he pared down anyway.
Carnegie told Editor A ,K. MeClure
lie would give $200,000,000 for a lease
on life. He Isn't tlu first sinner who
was afraid to die. Editor MeClure,
poor but with a consciousness of hav
ing tried to be fair and Just to his
fellowman, told Andy he was foolish,
that he (MeClure) wouldn't give a
snap of his Anders to llvt longer than
his allotted time and was ready to
go. Which man, Carnegie or MeClure,
Is the richer?
The Tillamook Herald makes many
truthful statements and this Is one of
them: The prosperity of a town Is not
ganged by the wealth of Its Inhabit
ants, but by the uniformity with which
they pull together when any Important
undertaking Is to be accomplished. A
man with a thousand dollars at his
command and a love for his town In
