Durina the past three or four days imich has been said jro and eon regard ing the city granting a franchise for street cars. There was a special, meet ing of the council held last Friday night to take the matter nnder consideration, and of which notice apjiears elsewhere. There were two companies of wealthy capitalists asking for the franchise, and able lawyers looked carefully over the ground and made clear the propositions submitted by their clients. One thing that struck the writer most forcibly was : No lawyer was present to look after the city's interest, nor no one cmt- side of Councilman W'ollenberg seemed to have aiiy idea that the city had any interest in the matter ; and if we may judge from the interest manifested by those present, so far as the public good was concerned, it seemed to be the gen oral opinion, in the classic language of the dear departed Jay Gould : "The pub lic be d ." It was all street car boom talk, and the streaks of hot air would. it transported to the frigid lands of North Elberta, have produced a genuine chinook more potent than a breese from the Japan current. If the franchinse sought for so lustily and for which two powerful combines have each had legal talent of the highest order to advance their claims and push forward with so mnch vim the prelimi nary stages, is worth the paper it is written on, it is worth more ; and if it is worth more, then the city has a claim to the value of the franchise and should be paid for, and the contract for the franchise and also the ordinance gov erning the franchise", should be so framed that the city's interest should be protected. Now we are aware that the above statement is not good politics as generally accepted, nor is it the kind of municipal politics as practiced in many of our cities, bnt it should be the pub lic's politics, and as such every man should be interested. Now if two powerful rival companies cm be formed, and each seek the fran chLse, why should the city surrender its rights without a just and equitable re muneration being paid for the same We are aware that it will be said : The street railway will not pay expenses for several years, and therefore, a small or nominal amount only should be paid the city. If this be the case, then there are other reasons why the project is be ing pushed. The writer thinks he knows, but at present every man can f 3rm his own opinion. If the city really wants a street car system, why not advertise for the same Why not draw np an ordinance covering the neeus of the city and state just what the city will do, and then receive bids for the franchise? Now it i admitted that the present need of the city is not street cars, but better sidewalks, crossings and- streets but if a majority want to try the street car project, wny should there be such , anxiety to push through the scheme without taking plenty of time to thor oughly inq aire into and examine the matter?J By the terms of the charter sought, the rival companies would pay tlie city one hundred dollars a year for the fran chise until the city had a population of 10,000 inhabitants, and after that wi! pay a small additional eum for each 10,- 000 in population. If the city dads will grant a franchise like the one sought for so vehemently by the rival companies and put it np at pnblic auction, the writer of this article will bid np $5,000 in cash for the same and will pay the money down just as soon as the city can deliver the goods. This is what the writer thinks about the value of the franchise at the present time, and for every 5,000 additional inhabitants he will contract to pay f5,000 more in cash or the franchise may be annulled. He is quite willing to risk the money on the city's future growth and prosperity, and while he realizes that he may lie called a Razooper, he does not want a valuable franchise for nothing; and while the matter may be called a speculation, he is willing that the city should benefit by tie spec. J Here is onr proposition: II the city will grant to us a franchise cov ering all the streets of Eosebnrg and the additions as recorded in the public plats, and give U9 two years in which to commence operations, and two j ears to finish we will pay $5,000 in cash, and and when the city reaches I0,000 inhab itants $5,000 more and $5,000 for every increase of 5,000 to the citizenship of the City of Uoseburg perpetually as the city takes in teiritory and the lines are ex tended. . .

In several of the Southern States, state and county convicts are worked upon the public roads. In Tarrant county, Texas, for several years past the countv convicts are forced to build roads and the state convicts or a num ber of them are farmed out to the rail roads for construction or Irettenneut purposes. We think that it is Georgia that has a very good system whereby the state convicts are kept at hard labor in building slate roads and great good has resulted from their labor. Nowlf there is a state in the Union where good roads are needed it is in Oregon, and especially in the country west of the Cascade mountains. This district has practically no roads for six months in the year and travel is almost at, a standstill. A system of good roads would nearly double the price of land adjacent to the railroads because crops could be marketed so much letter and with one-fonrth of the cost, time and labor. me 1 laindealer lavors a state svs- tern of main roads running from north to southwest ot the Cascades ana a sys tem running from the east to the west or from the north to the south cist of the Cascades. These roads to be built with convict labor and we care not where the work commences so that it is commenced. With such a system of state roads each county needing better facilities for travel could build county roads to the state roads and township roads to the county roaus By so liomg there would be system 'in . the entire work. - e are aware that the labor unions are adverse to convicts being " employed at work which brings honest labor into competition with convict work, and the sentiment manifested is a tribute to their own self respect, but in employiug convicts to construct state roads " there would be opened for convict labor field of usefulness which at present needs exploiting. e are not in lavor ol putting con victs sentenced lor wiutul murder or heinous crimes to work with the com moner or lower graded offense convicts, Dot we would lavor a taw governing the case so that every day of faithful work performed bv a convict on the roads should count for twfl days of sen tence, and besides, the CQnviet should have credit given him for every day of faithful work the sum of 25 "cents and this money in total should be paid to him the hour that his sentence expired for good behavior or faithful service. Any man ue ne nonest mechanic or con vict at hard labor will work better with the certainty of just recompence in view. As a matter of justice the con vict even lias rights and if he earni more by his labor than was, required keep and gusrd him the excess should be his property, and besides it would convi nee him that the state was not an Egyptian taskmaster requiring adobe brick to 1 made without furnishing the straw, bnt that the state was just and honest even to the minute considera tion of his manual labor. With a few hundred dollars in his packet to com mence hie anew, many convicts wtio drift back into crime would lie enabled to go elsewhere and commence life again and have the means to susttin them until thev found emplovnient for which they were suited. . We could elaborate this principle but we think that enough has been written to see if the Oregon press and legisla tors will take kindly to the proposition. ANOTHER ATTACK OF WORMS. Mark the brilliant grammatical construction, refined and edifying English employed, and the very con vincing argument presented in the following from the Rosebnrg Review of receat date: A villainous attack, as contemptible as its source and as untruthful as its author, appeared in last Thursday's issue ot the local so called republican or gan. It was followed by another screed on Monday. These excretions were aimed at Hon. R. S. Sheridan. Chas. II Fisher and E. McBroom, villifying those gentlemen by name, with all its charac teristic choice of expletives, and followed Dy ueciaring ineir removal to Idaho a couple of years ago was the cause of that state going republican at the recent election. The silliness and utter un truth of this charge is shown by the fact that Washington and Montana, lying on eitner Blue oi iuauo, gave proportion ately larger republican majorities than did Idaho. Further than this, Mr. Mc- rsroom s countv went democratic as usual, electing the entire .ticket, with the exception of but one man. The county where Fisher and Sheridan now live has lieen republican right along for years past. . However, as we have here tofore often stated, anything emanating r ,L . . i T . i iroiu nie source rnenuoneu is unwonnv of notice, except to show what a depth oi aepravity it is possible lor an indi vidual to reach, nun, lor an organ wmcn rentiv detended (in its charac teristic way) a case of open political bribery, to accuse others of corrupt to litical methods (which accusation in this instance was without foundation and libelous) is only comparable to patan condemning sin. Such a sheet is not fit to be admitted into respectable homes, The above is conclusive evidence that the puny individual, who styles himself editor of tbe Review, is suf fering from a renewed attack of worms. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is recommended as an infallible remedy in ench aggrayated cases. Dr. Sheldon Jackson seems to have done a good job for Alaska, and espec ially the starving Indians up there, if, as he is credited with being, he was in strumental in stocking that territory with reindeer. According to a census rejiort there were no reindeer in Alaska in 1890, only 143 in 1892, 1000 in 18, and 3228 in 1900, while now they num- lierOOOO. Last year there were 1000 births in the domesticated herds. The ascertained fact that these animals H ill thrive in Alaska as well as Lapland, where they number 400,000 may become of great importance. They will furnish the natives with milk and meat, besides being very useful in other ways. Gen.

The Johnson Brothers Biz Saw Mill Enterprise. Fight With a Deer. The present indications are very prom ising for a new lumbering entei prise at Glendale. Last Monday, Messrs. Curtis and W. r. Johnson, of the new Myrtle Creek plant, made an inspection trip up Cow CroeK, to review matters previously attended to by their agents, J. R. Throne and Gent Kedfleld. Now they have'eni- ployed Surveyor Hamilton of Myrtle Creek, who, assisted by Red field and Throne, liegau today the work of mir vev just above town for a railroad to Lehman Falls, miles above. From there a flume will lie const ructed in the creek to bring down logs to the railroad Tho Johnson Bro's are up-to-date lum- liering men, have ample capital, and will, since the people along the creek have received their proiosition in the right spirit, go ahead and make valua ble improvements which will prove a boon to Glendale and tho Cow Creek country. Theaw mills will be built at Glendale. We hope to lie able to give more particulars next week Glendale News. STRPOOI.K FOR LIFE WITH A 3-PBOSO lll'CK. Master Glen Booth, aged 10 years, son of W. S. Booth, on Friday last had terrible struggle with a three-pronged doer in the woods near his home at the mouth of Starveout. He had shot and killed his game, as he supposed, the an- i inial falling and pluneiusr its head b: neath a log. The boy stood his rifle by a tree, alxiut "5 yards away, and went over to stick his animal. Upon pulling the head from under the logi the deer, whose nook hail only been creased by a cut in the hair, attacked the boy. A ' terrible struggle followed; sometimes the buck had the advantage and again the boy gained a good hold. He finally managed to push the et niggle close to his gnn ; ofter considerable engineering he seized his trusty gun with one hand, and holding the doer with the other, he finally managed to fire a death-dealing shot. Glen's clothes were nearly all torn from his body. He was considera bly bruised about his body. Glendale News. Next Winter's Appropriations. The next Legislative Assembly wil almost necessarily le a more expensive one than usual, if not the most exten sive one ever held. Especially will this le thecase it the desired appropriation of $500,000 for the Lewis and Clark Ex position is made. The state institutions will require more 'money rather than loss, and there will be other heavy de mands for money. This is not to be condemned if the money is voted for necessary or beneficial purposes. Ore gon is growing rapidly, but needs to make some expenditnres to encourage and stimulate still, greater, Lister growth, and for this purpose, and to at tend to the legitimate wants of our growing population, more money is needed than formerly. Valuable results are only obtained at considerable cost ; good things are expensive ; it is not so much the amount expended as how it is invested that m a proper subject of criti cism. . In some directions, however, expenses can be cnt down. The state printing, in particular, ought to cost many thou sands of dollars a year less than it does now. Much ought also to be saved in fees now paid to some other state offi cers. The "dat salary" project may very likely fail of success, but there should certainly be some reform in the schedule of governmental expenses.
