J. E. Kennedy of Warn it, Wasco
county, expresses his A'lews and thoae
of -hts Tietghbors in - communication
to The -Journal, In which he says: -
notice In- yourcolumnS -of May i
lira -communis. Hon from C W. Kern
concerning the stste ownership of the
Barlow road, which Is to be voted on
Iir'UlS C0llillig"June' election. " We would
respectfully ask that you Insert the
following, as we think the- statement
of Mr. Kern is, to say the least, mis
leading; , -
"First, the. Barlow road was not built
by the syndicate headed by Mr. Cole
man, as Mr. Kern seems to believe, but
was - built '.nr the spring and summer
of , 1840, by the mm' whose name It
bears. - Mr.- Barlow started from Illi
nois In April, 1846, on his way to Ore
gon CltyT but -was snowbound wMrhie

stayed until the following spring, when
hs Droceeded on his wsy over the Cas
cade mountains, making the road as
he went This rosd remain practically
unchanged east of the summit, save
where a tree has fallen across it, mak
ing It necessary to drive around. 1

Now, my dear voter, when you go to the

the question of which we are speaking,
ask yourself If It Is reasonable that Mr.

'.The farmers of .Wasco county," who
are interested In this road by living ad
jacent to It, do not want the state to
pay $24,000 for any such highway."
W.' S. U'Ren of Oregon City urges
tbat the proposition be ' voted down.
He gives numerous " reasons for his
stand, among them the following;
','It la not worth the money. The
promoters have an option on the road
from the ownera for 88,000, and will
make $16,000 If they can sell It to the
state. No farmers In Clackamas county
are obliged to pay a toll to get their
products to market Very few live
near the road. The seven miles of toll
road between- the mountains and the
end of the public road was offered to
Clackamas county as a free gift about
three years ago and refused."

People Who Realise iCood Sheriff

. Issiie to Be Raised Him Because
Kept -Promises
' Tltli only one week more ot the campaign-remaining
the .men who: expected
to -defeat Sheriff Tom-Word by mass
ing "the Republican"" vote against him
are almost ready to .throw . up their
hands, They have never been able to
get their campaign well started, for
from the start they have' found that
good cltisons generally .were opposed to
raising the party issue. Hundreds' of
Republicans -arer-. openly supporting
Word, many more are working quletl)
for his reelection, while those who con
fine their approval of Mis course to a
determination, to give him a vote can
not be estimated, but that their number
is large Is certain. A poll of II Repub
licans on the east side gives some idea
of the prevalence of that spirit of inde
pendence which insists on rewarding
faithful officials irrespective of'.party.
Of the voters polled 0 are fof Word
and only HI are for Stevens, his oppo
nent. This . indicates the election of
Word by an Immense majority..
The reason given by supporters of
Word when asked why they favor his
reelection Is Invariably the same, lie
kept his pledge and freed Portland from
the disgrace of open gambling. Cltl
srns rejoice in the fact that their home
city can no longer be compared to a
mining camp. Portland has at last
I taken on the dignity of a commercial
metropolis, they . ssy. . and - they object
to any backward step.
Merchants are supporting Word be
causVthe enforced cessation of gam-
hsttnarti as prove-" great bemjfrtttr"thw
retail trade directly, and indirectly to
the wholesale trade. Clerk and me
chanics and working- men tf all trades
have had more money to spend in the
tors. The number of bad debts has
been greatly lessened, and payments
nn goods sold "on Installments have
been more prompt All-thls4s-duetto
the fact thst Tom Word kept faith
with the people who elected him. These
bm fits csn be plainly seen. Wives 'of
worklngmen can tell of another benefit,
for Tom Word has made many a home
happier by removing the temptation in
cident to open gambling and enabling
husbands tt take their wages home to
their families. , . . . ...
