Superintendent Kdwin L. Cha'.crafl
has gone on official business connected
with lils office. He wiil go to Grand
Ronde and from tliere to Portland and
other parts In his district. He wil!
be absent ten or twelve days.
The cold stormy weather of the last
few days have stopped the farming
end other Improvements that were go
ing on in Sllciz Valley.
The Indiana are very much pleased
and elated over their new roll of be
coming citizens. Some complain of
high taxes but they will get used to
that. Alec Cattish saya he wr.Ltu the
white men who are uoing business
for the county not to run in debt so
as to put riiem all iu tha poor houst.
Alec says It will be all right if the
county officials and port commissions
lont get us in debt too deeply. He
thinks the big timber cwnars should
pay thoir share of the taxas sad not
shift It off on the small tax pay?rs.
These timber barons are mllllonalrs
and could buy the wlwlo county and
havo monay left. When these iimbcr
men want the timber moved and rail
roads built they wiil build them and
move the timber and this will not be
done until they get ready. When
these big timber owners use up their
timber elsewhere they will come to
STdz and liuiil railroad;; and mills
and put to work a thousand men and
the business will start as if by magic.
- The big interests' can build milla and
railroads easier than the county could
build one mile of hard sruface road.
Mr. Catfish has a nice farm and is one
of the big taxpayers. He wants to
eee the county go ahead and get no
back sot Mr. Catfish would run for
County Judge but thinks lie is too
new a citizen to take up such an Im
portant office, besides thore are three
candidates already In the field and all
of them are good men. This gives
the "voter a chance to select the best
man for the job. Mrs. Cattish says
she will vote tor the best looking can
didate. There are two candidates
running f.ji as-;cssr, ar.d live for coiu
mlbMoiier, auJ its up to the voters to
select the best mull for the job. The
Commissioners Court is the most im
portant thing in the county and should
be composad of men of sound judge
ment and good courage. The County
Court has charge of the county affairs
the building of bridges, roads, and
purchasing of machinery and the dis
bursements of the county funds.
At a mass meeting held at Newport
recently a resolution was passed pur
posing to buy the North Coast rail
road from the government and build,
equip, and extend the road to the
18,000,000.000 feet of timber in the
Siletz. The road is to be kept up by
the people at a cost no one can tell.
The Port of Newport could not finance
the project without bankrupting the
district. The vole on the resolution
was not unanimous. M. A. Abbey
and Cap(ain Jacobson voting against
it. Municipalities should not engage
In buying or building railroads, leave
that for the timber hollers. I am
quite sure the people in the Newport
district are not in favor cf such wild
cat projects.
Mr. Keam came over last werk and
with two other persons to help him,
eet out a crate of logan berries. This
does not complete the setting out of
the ten acres. It will take 5000 plants
to do that. The. company will plant
potatoes between the rows and If the
price of spuds keep ut this will bring
in a good many hundreds of dollars.
The sawmill is running again after
the loss of several day because of the
breaking of some machinery.

W. V. FULLER WRITES
Dallas, Or., April 12, 1920.
Editor Lincoln County Leader:
I wish to say to my loyal friends in
Lincoln County, that I feel deeply
grateful to them for their support at
the time I was a candidate for Joint
Representative for Polk and Lincoln
Counties. I have been urged by many
of these friends to again become a
candidate for trie same office, but to
my regret, my business arrangements
will not admit of my acceptance of
the office. However, the loyal support
you have always accorded to me,
makes me bold enough to ask your
favorable consideration of lh rinrii.
dacy of my friends and neighbor, Geo.
T. Gerlinger for Joint Representative.
Mr. Gerlinger was born in Chtcoga.
in 1K7H, came to Oregon in 1S94, and
to Pnlk County in 1902. He organized
the WjHanictte Valley Lumber Com
pany in1?06; built a railroad from
Salem to Biack Rook, and his operat
ed a large Saw-mill in Dallas, since
that time. Many of the men who were
iu his employ when he first started
opi.-ation in Polk County, are still
with him, and tliere has never been a
strike !a his mill or camp.
Mr. Gerlinger Is well and favorably
known throughout the slate, and is
one of our largest tax-payers.
As timber is the main asset of Lin
coln County, I wish to say, that as
Mr. Gerlinger Is a member of the Ore
gon State Board of Forestry, he is
particularly well advised to the needs
of the timber portion of the State.-
In serving two regular and ons Spec
ial Session of the Legislature, I find
that the County Is judged by its Rep
resentative. If you give Geo. Gerling
er your hearty 'support, you will not
nave cause to regret your action.
Sincerely yours.
W. V. Fuller.

How would YOU
like a raise.
like this?
WlWmS 34 Years
v- -,5
THAT is the kind of increase In salary
the minister has received. His living
expenses have risen just as fast and as far
as yours. '
But he fa paid on the average just 52 cents
more per church member than he was paid 34
years ago.
The Minister Never Fails You
Every officer of the Government with a war
message to deliver appealed to the ministers first
ofalL
But 80 of the ministers receive less income
than government economists figure as a minimum
for the support of an average family.
When hospitals neei money they enlist the
Support of the ministers and receive it.
But when sickness visits the minister or the
members of his family they isust be treated in a
charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborer's.
8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than
$20 a week about half the pay of a mechanic.
We Pay Him Half the Wages of a Mechanic
'-- And of these pitifully inacteqtiate salaries,' how much do'
you contribute? Nothing if you are outside the church;
an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church
member.
All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to
the community. They marry us; bury us; baptize our
children; visit us when we are sick. In their hands is the
spiritual training of the youth.
We Are All Profiteers at Their Expense
Part of the Interchurch World program is this a living
vt ge for every minister of Josus Christ ; an efficient plant,
and a chance to do a big man's job.
If you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers
better. It's the best investment for your community and
for your children that you can ever make.

out to perfection.
The play will to go wr.Idport tomor

If
An Oregon family of four had $100
a month to ct along on in 1913, but
had srawn Into a family of ten with
only $45 a month Increase In 1920, how
in the world would It live?
That Is the Case With
The State University, the Agricultural
College-, and the Oregon Normal. In
1913 they had 2250 students; now thoy
have 5400. And $1 In 1913 is only as
good ps 45 cents today, In purchasing
power.
If You Yourself Were
Responsible
could you carry on the work of the
College, University and Normal on
the same state support us In 1913?
You Could Not
Nolther can the State University, tho
Agricultural College, and tho Normal
School do It. Will you not help these
three institutions to continue their
useful and productive work for Oregon
by voting on May 21 for the Higher
Educational relief measure?
