"lar Sir: -There ha no dleus-
sion in the Ongon pres of the law
which i to be voted on next June,
alailishing the Bur low Toll I'.oad and
providing for its purchase by the state
ami its conversion into a fre public
highway.
Th farmeisi who live along this road
and who have to pay the tolls were able
to raise enough money to circulate the
petition to get thi law on the ballot,
but have no money left with which to
make campaign. We must, therefore,
rely upon the newspapers of the Ute
for a dl-cusslon of the matter, and be
lieve that the entire community will
sympathize with u in our effort. We
therefore write you an explanation of
the situation.
"The Harlow Road crosses the Cas-
le Mountain just south of Mt. Hood.
There is no other road between It and
the Columbia River on the north, and
not for loo mile to the south. If you
want to cross the Cascades you mut
travel over the Harlow Road -and pay
toll.
"The Harlow Road is a strip of knd
AO feet wide and nesrlv 70 miles long.
The owners hold it under a grant made
40 year ago by the federal government.
Their right to charge toll has been up
held by the Supreme Court.
"Tlw farmer in Clackamas and Wasco
counties who live in the country tribu
tary to thi road, have to pay toll on
every head of sheep or cattle they drive
to Portland. They have to pay 2.00
everv time tln-v cross the mountains in
a wagon. Therv i no other road cross
ing the Oseade.
"Kvery Immigrant wagon must pay
!. Kvery settler driving from the
Willamette Valley to settle in Eastern
Oregon (and there are lot of them)
must pay fcl on hi little grfct of furni
ture.
and providing for the purchase of the
road. They did not even know it was
to le done. They agreed a ytwr ago
w ith our representative to sell the road
for a certain price. We then initiated
the law oiirsejve and raised, the money
to circulate the petitions, The owners
of the roHil, I uudei'stand, do not want
now to sell the rood t the price agreed
on, 24-fKHr, but they will lie compelled
to sell if the law pas-es, as we hold
their agreement, If the state dm- not
buy the road m-xt June, we will never
have another elm nee to buy the rood for
twice this amount of money. Nor could
It be built oer again for f I00,IM)0,
"There Is no way to get rid of this
toll rtnt( except to buy it. As tlie state
glows, it will become an imnu'nly
valuable piece of property. Jn five years
when thi country is thickly settled it
will la- worth a fortune to own the only
pass across the Cascade ami to have
the right to charge toll on it. And the
State will have t' buy it sooner or later.
1 "The farmer cannot buy the roa1
themselves. There i no reason why
they, should. The rwl is a great state
highway the same as the old Dalles
wagon road w. The legislature ap
propriated several thousand dollars to
build the I)allcs wagon road. No one
would complain if the state were 1
begin to build a new highway over the
Cascades at a cot of at h ast $100,OQp.
"V hope the Oregon press, which is
usually ready to help the common peo
ple, who will help the unfortunate far
mers out in this, matter by publishing
.this explanation. We have got to get
rid of this toll road. Its existence is
a hindrance to the growth of all central
Oregon. Thi stats should help us and
it will never have a better chance, nor
as good a chance a bow. We have no
money with ybhh to make a campaign.
and will have to depend ntirely on the Clifton No. I.
merit of our ease. Yours Respectfully,' Clifton No. 2.
REGISTRATION CLOSES FULL.
Up to th Standard Set In th Presi
dential Year of 1904
At 5 fcloek yesterday evening County
Clerk .1. C. Clinton closed the registra
tion book of Clatsop county in ac
cordance with the law, and the results,
as taken from the record last night
after the totals had Is-en cast, show the
county to be on a regi-tered lisi with
the presidential showing of 1!K)4. There
were some forty or fifty registrations
from outlying precinct received in the
evening mall w hich will le added to the
totals pis-senM herewith, being enter
ed on the books this morning, and with
these, the grand totals will alightly ex
ceed the return from this department
in 1904. A good sign this, when the
republicans, who have done the most of
the registering, swing the totals np to a
point in excess of a year like that of
1M4, when the inpiration to register
and vote is abnormally strong, since it
iniliuuU's in tlie present instance, that
the interest in the election pending is
as deep as it was then, a conclusion as
pleasing to republican as it is com
mendable. Following are the figures
taken last night, placed in line with
the totals of 1904:
TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD,
A reward of twenty dollar will be
given foe recovery of the body of Matt
HummaMi who was drowned; the re
ward will be given by the Finnish
Brotherhood. John Taikka. secretary.

WHAT IS
THE BEST CLOTHING
Morning Astorisn, 65c. per month.
It is the fashion nowadays for every mother's son of a clothing dealer to
claim that "HE" is the only favored one who caniea the "BEST" clothes.
Do you, Mr. Customer, believe that ONE factory, make all the good
clothes ia America.
Indeed, some factories who were the ones, but a few years ago, have de
generated and new men, young men, men of nerve, of ambition and of pride
have grasped th rein and the M and S or the X and Y Brands of former ,
years, are passed NOW!
Today, new people are to the fore, tomorrow too will be brushed aside, by
younger, more vigorous men with newer ideas and so the world has, doea and
ever will, move on.
The question therefore Is: which one of your local clothiers is the most
aggressive, the most up-to-date one; who is it that will take up new ideas,
new makes FIRST?
When you have answered that question, then you can safely decide as to
who "DOES" come nearest to that ideal
"Don't judge a firm by its pretensions."
"Judge a clothier as you would a preacher."
"A doctor, a lawyer, a mechanic, etc."
"Judge every man or firm ny the
"MAN BEHIND THE GOODS."
