After all the whole question of the permanent location of a county seat hinges upon the question of cost and expense. This is the basic principal of the correct locations of the seats of counties for the trans uuliuu of luirli business. It is the principle and the fact that exists not only during the heat of a county seat fight, but will continue to exist as long as a county has a corporate existence. It is true that this fact and the principle with it are some times lost sight of and sometimes clouded during the discussion inci dent to the permanent location of a county seat. But when the fog has drifted away that has obscured men's judgment then it recurs with redoubled force, and if they have l)een blinded by partisan feeling, or by some worse motive, and have accomplished what should not have been done, then it is always a mat ter cf regret. In the location of a county seat therefore, the first, and in fact the most important thing to consider, is the cost. In speaking of the cost cf locations of county seats a wide field is opened. It is not alone the cost of buying a site and putting up county buildings thereon. In fact this is the least part of the cost if the county seat is not properly located. There is the long and perpetual line of costs that must be incurred by the county month after month and year after year. The added costs of mileage and fees soon amount to more than county buil dings; the continuous and perpetual atlded costs of extra fees for wit nesses and jurors will build a court house in a very few years. The untold expenses direct upon the county in that shape cannot be enumerated. And then these do not constitute all the costs. There is that direct and ever present cost of additional travel to and from the county seat by the greater number ( f the people. This is a cost that must be borne, not for one year, or 1 r live years, but for a period of time that no man can estimate. Therefor we say that the only roai ining 10 ue consuiereu- is a question of cost. One man might sty that it don't make any difference t.i him where the county seat is located, he only goes there once a fear to pay his taxes anyway. But this is not true. It does make a difference to him. The difference is bound to lie shown on the very face of that tax receipt which the sheriff gives him when he pays his taxes. If the county seat is off to one side of the county, and is not centrally located as concerns its . population, then that man pays the difference of the added costs spoken of alwve whan he pays his other taxes. These costs must be paid and they must be paid in taxes. The man that consoles himself that he escapes his share of these costs localise he only goes to the county scat once a year is entirely mistaken. Then there is that other class who say that it is only a matter of self interest anyway and they are going to vote to get the "county seat as close to themselves as possible, even if it i nnr rtf t1w nrrttvr ti1-nv t.i " -- i- "- county at large. We admit that it j is a question of self interest, but we, j deny that this class of men are J really working for their own self I interest. It is to the interest cf every - taxpayer of the county to tmT.A tVi vmntv Qpat qa lorfltrl thnt , na.y. n. -J it will accommodate the greatest number of its inhabitants at the least expense to the county, df' rectly, and to the people themselves. The self interest of every 'citlien and taxpayer of the county should be the upbuilding of the county as a whole, and not the upbuilding of any small part thereof to the detri ment of the greater portion. To the citizen and taxpayer it is his self interest to keep down costs and taxes to the end that the burden cf county government may be light. The self interest that causes a man to vote to badly or wrongly locate a county seat is a mistaken self inte r est. The time is drawing near when the people of this county will be called to vote upon this very vital question. It behooves every citizen to think well and act wisely on this matter. No argument is needed as to the relative merits of the two candidates for county seat. Out side of the fact that the one is already a town of some growth made by the efforts of its own citizens, and by its natural superior location, and the further fact that the other is merely a boom townsite owned almost entirely by non-resident speculators, there is no question as t to the natural and proper location of the county seat. The warmest adherents for West Yaquina freely admit that to locate the county seat at Toledo would accommodate the greater number of the citizens of the The only question then is ! county whether by the use of specious j arguments, promises of pay, the use of money or other schemes will 1 cause the people of Lincoln county to load themselves up with a per- petual burden of costs that must in the years to come cost them .in ! untold amount of money in the way of added costs and taxes. Tax payers and citizens of Lincoln county, consider this matter well before the election day rolls around. The election of a county com missioner is one that should be carefully considered by every voter and taxpayer of the county. The county commissioners' court is the bulwark behind which all the county's interests are entrenched. They are the direct representatives of the county in all matters finan ci'il. In looking after the interests of the county the court should be so distributed over the county, to the end that they may be identified and conversant with all interests of the county. The divisions of the county by its streams naturally divides the county into districts. The large and important area on the Alsea should have a representa tion on the county court. The interests of its roads and bridges, and its other county interests war rant and demand that one member of the county court should come from that place. There is no member of the present court from that section. There is but one candidate for commissioner from tuaipari 01 me county. Tnat ucss; iq grow lmpenCCtly; candidate is Mr. J. R. Barclay, of, and to lose the power of re Tidewater. Mr. Barclay is an old I sisting disease. When a babv setuer ot mat part ot the county, and is a heavy taxpayer. He is a straight-forward, upright man, aud i IS lllllUlv honored and Tpsrwntprt Kv ! all the people on the Alsea. It would be to the interest of the whole county that Mr. Barclay should be elected. He would be a safe and conservative member of the court and would fairly, honestly and safely represent, not only the Alsea country but the whole county The Yaquina part of the countv .,-.!. M ...'II 1 . nwum oim nave iwo tnemoers on the court, and a large part of the county that is now without repre- 1ft Viavp a clean, fair and competent commissioner to ;? represent.it in the county court. j '' Hon. Allen Parker has filed petition with County Clerk Jones , asking "thatrhis name be placed on j -js the ballot as an independent candi-1 :j date for joint representative forj$ Benton and Lincoln counties. His j petition has considerable oer Jooj-J-j names, and " has been generally I signed by everybody to whom it has been presented, regardless of politics. This is the outcome of j the repiesentative' matter spoken of j in our last issue. The people this county do not feel that they have been lairiy treated in tae matter of a candidate for repre sentative, i Messrs. Kern & Church, the les sees of the Dixon rock quarry at Elk City, have notified the people of that place that if they attempt to rebuild the bridge on the old site that they will compel them to put a draw in it. They want the bridge located about thirty feet further down the stream in order to give them more room to operate their quarry. This change in the' loca tion of the bridge would necessitate about fifty feet more bridge, and would also require much longer piling at one end of the span. Charley Miller, the democratic candidate for sheriff, is making a ciecirieciiy vigoious canvas, ana is masing uienas ana votes every day. Mr, Miller is one of tho--e plain hearty fellows that one has confidence in from first acquaint ance, and that confidence grows stronger as the acquaintanceship 111 "eases. He is a man ct positive convictions, yet is not one ot those antagonistic fellows. On all ques- ,,ons '" know exactly where to tma barley MMler. And U:en Iks qualifications are beyond question, He is riSht nw a very important lactor in tue race tor sheriff, and by the ist of June he is going to be right up among the leaders. -; A strong anti-Tongue feeling ex ists among the republicans of this district. That this feeling will find vent in some shape is very certain, but at this time it is hard to tell JUS wbal shaDe of au uni'e;l PP sition to longue, or it may take some other shape. If we were to surmise the course that will be pur sued by the anti-Tongue republi cans of Lincoln coua-iyrthere is a large number of'themi weHvoUld guess that when they go to vote that they place the name of Binger Hermann upon their ticket. They feel that in this way they would be stippoi ting a republican and at the same time rebuking the unholy I comowauon mat nominatea lon i i ... v . . gue. tfuru Irafry Poor baby ! - Your pity goes cut to It and rightly.
