We should have a county poor farm a few miles from Oregon City, and I believe we can secure a suitable place for $43 or $30 per acre. There are many people drawing mon ey from the county poor fund w ho are able to do some work, and they should be required to make some return for the money they receive from the coun ty for their maintenance. The coun ty poor farm might be made self-supporting In this manner." The McMinnville Telephone-Register calls on its property-owners not to be too hoggish and drive away the Ore gon Electric with high figures for rights of way. This Is good advice. Many a town has side-tracked itself by trying to beat a railroad at being hoggish. The Oregon Electric Injures IU business by its own foolish hog glshness in charging three cents a mile fare when one cent would give It more dividends. Gustave Fisher Pays Fine.
